Warana Nagar

Warana Nagar:

Warana Nagar is a typical example of an all-round sustained development of a rural area. The co-operative movement here successfully outlines the transformation of a traditional rural society into an economic success story. The development started with the establishment of a co-operative sugar factory in the year 1956. Though co-op sugar factories are by no means a novelty now, they certainly were in those days. The sugarcane grower members contributed to the area development fund which has been used in undertaking various rural development projects like lift irrigation, construction of roads, dairy development etc..

With the aid of good management practice and dedication as well as a part of an astute vision led to the establishment of a poultry farm which tied up with MAFCO for marketing of eggs and chicks. Thus yet another profit centre was established. This further led to the development of a huge dairy complex. Using effective marketing skills and by adopting marketing techniques of the times like effective advertising, this new project also attained success.

To give a human dimension to the success-story, Warana sugar Factory provided the initial funds for the establishment for an Arts, Science and Commerce college. This college not only has provided education to the local youth but also has a positive ripple effect in stopping the flow of rural youth to urban areas as well as making available trained manpower for aiding the growth of the area. The Warana Nagar Children’s Orchestra has earned fame in the various parts of the country and the world, which shows that the efforts of the rural leadership in developing younger generation in the areas of art and culture. The economic development of this area is closely linked to the growth and development of this multifarious co-operative. It is indeed a very bright star in the co-operative galaxy of this country.
