Ajanta-Ellora the
world famous heritage monuments, aptly depict the
rich cultural and historical heritage of Marathwada
region. This region is predominantly an agricultural
area, barring few yet skilled instances of superb
workmanships like Himroo, famous Paithani saris.
The Malik Amber's era, witnesses the industries
like, Paper, Utensil, textile and dying
industries, etc. But in an unorganized manner,
however it was cultured to be the backward area
without any industrial climate. Moreover Marathwada
is said to be abode of many saints. |

On the above background it is indeed creditable to
have the industrial awareness and its wheel set in
by Deccan Flour Mills, Silverlight Nirlep
Industries, Prakalp, Maharashtra Engineering, Bagga
Engineering, Garley Equipments in the sixties.
The year 1967-68 saw 7 industrialists come together
and during the industries week celebration in the
year 1969, Aurangabad District Industries
Association (ADIA) was formed and started enrolling
members to the Association from July 1969. The
Association was formally inaugurated by Shri. K. R.
Bhat in the month of October 1970.
Shri. Ghanshyamji Jalan and Shri. N. G. Bhogale were
the main pillars of this association. The other
members being Shri. D. B. Prabhu, Shri. Divansing
Bagga, Shri. Yashwant Garde, Shri. B. G. Rane and
Smt. Tai Bastikar.
As the association was working for the development
of industries and Marathwada region, the association
was renamed to Marathwada Industries Association
(MIA) with effect from June 1989.
In a major shift in its policy, the Marathwada
Industries Association (MIA), a premier body
representing industrialists in the region, then
decided to bring agriculture as a focus subject in
its working. The members were also of the opinion
that the growth of Marathwada was possible only with
agriculture in the region grows and becomes world
class. With this view Marathwada Industries
Association (MIA) assumed a new name as Chamber of
Marathwada Industries and Agriculture (CMIA) from
April 2002. |
