Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Ankleshwar and Jhagadia are the major Industrial zones of Gujarat. Most of the industries in these areas are covered under GIDC Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation. The function of GIDC is to provide land, sheds and extend active help and support towards providing infrastructure requirements such as water, drainage, street lights etc.
GIDC's estates are marked with a difference than thenormal estate land or sheds. Within GIDC there are different Associations that perform similar kind of work along with Philanthropical approach towards the community. On similar lines of Ankleshwar & Panoli Industries associations we have also formed Jhagadia Industries Association (JIA) to support the member industries in the GIDC Estate.
The main objective for forming such associations is to provide infrastructural and other services to the Industrial Community at Jhagadia and also extending the benefit to surrounding rural areas in areas of education and infrastructural support. Jhagadia Industries Association was formed in late 1995 with Mr. S. B. Tudekar (of Remi metals) as president and Mr. S. R. Bansal (of DCM) as Secretary. Subsequently Mr. Bansal became President in 1997. The key projects managed during that time was coordinating with GIDC on infrastructure like roads, water supply and developing a pricing model for water supplied and internal security. The association was registered as a welfare society and the functioning of JIA was established.
Since 2002 the association was being led by Mr. Ashok Panjwani as President, Mr. B. L. Uppal as Vice president and Ravikumar as secretary till last year.
