Abstract

This study attempts to look at an industrial zone where the government and the industries have started the process of development with specific goals and objectives.

This report is organized in three sections. Section I provides the responsibilities of Maharashtra Industrial Development (MIDC), objectives, activities and methodology. Section II focuses on the contexts of land, shelter, rights and entitlements, and interaction with institutions and some case studies.
