Industries

Sumerpur industries

It is true that industries are mother of prosperity. As we know that hamirpur is a under-developed region. Hens Industrialisation considered backward due to unorgnised system and lack of skilled labour. 

Some years ago there were several small and tiny industrial units were scattered across the region at Bharwa Sumerpur like Veenus Steel, Eswarya Ispaat, Hamirpur Alloys, Juhi steel, Rimjhim ispat ltd, Vaibhaw Ispat, Rekan Mill, and Hans Casting. The other industries were - Dhruw Sement, Sudarshan oxygen, Wandna Steel, Gautam Sement, Shushila Paper Mill, Jubli Paper Mill, Shiva Cement, Rajat Cardboard factory near Pandhari road. Sant Boxes Mills, Amit Packaging, Hamvila Pashu Ahar Kendra.

All these factories provided employment to the local as well as other state employees. But due to unpaid loans and limited skilled workforce most of the factories are locked out or about to close.

Currently  Hindustan unilever, Rimjhim, Juhi, Hans metals and Amit Packaging are running with continuty.

There is only one large manufacturing units in the entire region is Hindustan Unilever - a unit of the public sector. Other remaining most profitable industry in the region is casting of iron ore like - Rimjhim Ispat Ltd and Hans metmetals ltd.

There are no major export-oriented industries accept  Iron Steel rods and wire from  Rimjhim Ispat Ltd.

Inspit of these factories no modern industry has emerged in this region. But now a days administration are taking attention in this field and new factories are setting up like KD oil mills and concrete poles plants.

Bharwa Sumerpur is the only source of industrial' employment.

Dewaan Shatrughan Singh.

Charkhari is a part of Mahoba in Bundelkhand region which is the home of many great Indian freedom fighters.The father of the freedom movemrnt in entire Bundelkhand ,Deewan Shatrughan Singh and his wife Rani Rajendra Kumari were two great Indian freedom fighters of Bundelkhand

His father's name was Dewan Sudarshan Singh and his mother's name was Rao Eani Dulaiya who died while Shatrughan Singh was still in her womb. Deewan Saheb had got married in 1914 in his childhood to Rani Kaushlya Devi who was called Rani Rajendra Kumari after marriage. His wife Rani Rejendra Kumari was older than him.According to wikipedia He was born on the 25th of December 1900, four months after the death of his father.But there is a question about his accurate birth date.Their is no mention about it but they were young during 1916 and had a good personality. He met Gandhi in the 1920's and then became his follower.

He has desided the manner of freedom struggle in Bundelkhand after accepting the fact of 'Rathaur Veer Durgadaas' written by Bankim Babu. For the better performance he constructed the group of youths. The assemblies of their group parties were held in forest near the bank of betwa for taking disission against British. He also constructed palaestras in jarakhar for the training of groups.Soon the sentences of palaestras was spread all over the Bundelkhand. He advertise it too.He did many efforts for the Hindu Muslim Unity.The muharram of Rath in 1920 can be a good example in which many Hindu persons including Deewaan Shatrughan Singh had provided assistance to the Muslims Physically and economically.

Deewan Shatrughan Singh and Sripati sahay Rawat bith joined with kongrass in 1919 and became the follower of Mahatma gandhi.That time Dewan Sahib was 20years old.Dewan Shatrughan Singh,moved with his workers in every village and markets of Rath for resisting the forced labor practices and to promote khadi. He encouraged Landlords not to take of Harijans.Dewan Shatrughan Singh established a village named Harijan near Charkhari with the assistance of Shyam Bihari Chaubey.

After the first world war the financial condition of Britishes became bad than the local Zamindars had been invited at the Tehsil headquarters at Rath for donations towards helping their troops.All the Zamindars started offering the money to the Magistrate But Shatrughan Singh refused to give a penny to the British who had enslaved his country.He said his loyalties were with his people and not the imperial power and walked out of the meeting and received a hero's welcome by the crowds who had gathered outside.

He invented a revolutionary secret language for the help of his parties and used it for the distribution of information about freedom movement.He also advocated the Sati case of tola khangaran.Both the couple are credited for inspiring people for the three most difficult Sacrifices called  Graam Daan , Bhoo Daan and Shram Daan. The road connecting Charkhari to Supa in Hamirpur district is a result of Shram Daan.Diwan Saheb offered the entire village of Mangrauth to Vonoba Bhave when he visited the district in early 50's 

The Rani defeated the sitting UP Chief Minister C.B. Gupta in 1958 by-election from Maudaha as an indipendant candidate.Rani Sahiba was the first lady in Hamirpur who avoided the curtain tradition.In the stormy days of non-cooperation Deewan Sahib got sentence for 18 months for breaking rule 144 then Rani Sahiba directed the revolutionaries in Hamirpur District and also break the rule 144 herself.She also inspires bunselkhand's women about Curtain practice (Parda Pratha).Thus they were the main heros of bundelkhand and called bundelkhand gandhi.During the freedom struggle the couple went to jail several times.they were in british jail for the freedom struggle for over 9 years.Dewan Saheb was also well versed in Ayurveda.

Numerous scholers have done phd on the life of this freat indian patriot.There is an annual fair on the birth memory of him held in mangrauth in disember and it is attended by over 50000 people .thus this couple sacrifice everything for the nation and donated their lands to the poors.

Despite being from one of the most affluent families in Central India this couple sacrificed everything for the nation. From December 1975 they are not with us.

They are still remembered as the true leaders who worked selflessly for the nation and for the poor. They continued public service even after independence.He set up several schools and colleges in the district after imparting his own land and money and encouraging others in the process.But it was their our bad luck that neither institutions were named after him or his family members except  only the district hospital of Hamirpur is named after Dewan Sahib after his death.They are now the subject of folk tales and songs that recall their bravery . The Alhaa singers particularly have some beautiful compositions narrating stories from their lives.

Female literacy

Feale, a good subject to note about. ve a much lower literacy rate than men. Far fewer girls are enrolled in the schools, and many of them drop out we have proper evidence that female literacy is attached to overall development in many ways. An educated woman has capability to handle her home and professional life.  Compared to totally women, literate womens can take better decisions regarding number of children in family and usage of family planning methods. On the other hand an illiterate woman totally depends on her husband.

Female literacy 

Low rate of literacy is because of many restrictions against women. However, again it is getting better and better day by day by Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan which was a national mission run by the government of India aiming to offer quality education for 8 years to all the children coming under age group 6 to 14 years. This programmes was pioneered by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee to achieve the following targets: Raja Ram Mohan Ray and Iswara Chandra Vidyasagar were some famous social reformers during the British rule in India who paid their attention towards the women education.

 In urban and semi-urban environments, they are likely to have greater opportunities for earning independent income. Literate women are more likely to seek antenatal and postnatal checkups and observe good hygiene practices.Literate women are also more likely to encourage education of female children.

According to Census 2001, highest female literacy rate was recorded in Hamirpur, Sumerpur,Muskara, Sarila, and Rath.Female literacy was lowest in Binwar among all the Hamirpur villages. Comparison of Surroundings of Hamirpur.

The following programmes have been run For the betterment of the women education.

• Sarwa Shiksha Abhiyan
• Indira Mahila Yojana
• Balika Samridhi Yojana
• Rashtriya Mahila Kosh
• Mahila Samridhi Yojana
• Employment and Income Generating Training-cum-Production Centres
• Programme of Development of Women and Children in rural areas

Here are some factors affecting the women education in India:

•  Malnutrition of the girl child
• Sexual harassment and abuse at early age
•   Lower socio-economic status of parents
• Infections and low immunity power at childhood
• So many social restrictions and taboo in their society.

Educational points

The district’s most developed village Hamirpur and Bharwa sumerpur  have better facilities in education field.There is Degree college in both the blocks, there is roughly one middle school per three villages Less than 10% of villages in the entire District have a degree college.

One can find a large number of colleges in rural areas in 'developed’ states like Om Harihar Mahavidyalaya, Sumerpur and Swami Nagaji Balika Digree College, Dharmeswar Baba Sumerpur. Census 2001 figures showed that in the entire Hamirpur region with over 250 villages, there were only 15 villages with colleges.

The paucity of higher education institutions is reflected in low percentage of literates with educational attainment above middle school (see table below). Also notable is paucity of technical training institutes.

As a result, a large number unemployed people are in a position to take advantage of any opportunities that would not come by from planned industrial investments, nor do they have the skills to get higher wages in labour markets outside.

The Mid Day Meal scheme, introduced across the country, has certainly led to increase in presence of children at school, but a negative consequence seen across scores of village schools is that all the attention of both the staff and the children is focused on the meal. Practically no teaching takes place after meals are served; in many schools across Hamirpur young children go to school only for the meals.

For the Improvement Several methods  implemented in all  primary schools in the district. The implement  included supply of creative workbooks, desks, Supply School Dress  and sports-kits to transform the school environment, and motivation of parents to take interest in the working of schools.

The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan provides a good opportunity to take forward these experiences. SSA however does not tackle a basic problem faced by poor parents: while primary education is free, there are high indirect costs associated with purchase of uniforms, books and private tuition, to make up for incompetence or disinterest of teachers.

Scholarships for poor/SC/ST children helps meet some of this cost, but a large 'poverty and social monitoring’ survey (PSMS-II) conducted jointly by the UP state government’s Planning Department and the World Bank in 2002-03 found indicated that in rural areas of UP Hamirpur, 50% of poor households did not get this benefit; in urban areas, nearly 90% of the poor were not covered.

The  SC/ST parents face a bigger problem: they are forcibly prevented from sending their children to attend school by upper caste village leaders. Families belonging to social groups that were classified as `criminal tribes’ suffer the most.  Another, more common observation is that children from lower status social groups are routinely made to do unpaid menial tasks in schools. 

As in the rest of India, English-medium  private schools have significant presence in small towns of Hamirpur, and are the preferred choice of all families that can afford the fees. In rural areas, penetration of private schools was low in 2002-03 according to PSMS-II data. Reviewing the data for children from rural households between the age of 5 and 18 years, Only 7% of poor children in villages are going to private schools because there were not enough money to manage the fees.

The number of private schools in rural areas is increasing rapidly.Parents attracts towards Private School because the classes are held regularly, teachers who don’t come to work don’t get paid, or get fired.

Increasing presence of private schools creates two categories of children in villages: one the children who get free meals in schools but little education, and others who get no free meals, but getting better education. Poor households that desire to see their children in the second category will need to increase their monthly income or make an equivalent cut in other expenditure.
