With the rising aspirations of local people, the semi-urban towns are looking for avenues for increased development in terms of businesses and industries for creating more job opportunities for the educated youth and coming generations.

Kavali is one such town in Nellore district where a variety of resources are identified for development of small and medium industries.

During the recent visit of APIIC chairman P. Krishnaiah, leaders of Kavali, including Capital Committee member B. Mastan Rao made representations to him seeking creation of necessary infrastructural facilities for boosting industrial growth. They referred to the Maddurupadu industrial hub as a clear example of how the small and medium industries are not able to promise higher growth potential due to lack of proper facilities.

Over 25 industries are located in this industrial hub and they have immense potential if there is 24X7 power supply besides other infrastructural facilities. The APIIC chairman promised to look into their plea by arranging for an electric sub station there soon.

Industrialists in Kavali said it was a matter of comfort for them considering the promise of many projects such as the Dagadarthi airport and the Ramayapatnam port in their town’s vicinity. The local education youth would benefit enormously by these projects and the only thing was that they need to be trained.

The government is stated to have come out with the State Skill Development Centre, which will reach out to the youth in rural and semi-urban towns in due course of time. People in towns like Kavali are expected to derive maximum benefit out of these initiatives.
