F  Industrial Environment  E


          factoryThis industrial area is one of the largest and well planned industrial areas in the state. There are two main blocks viz: Kupwad Block and Miraj Block. These are then divided into several sub-blocks. There are modern facilities like green house, Club House, Swimming pools, Health-Recreation, Software Training, etc. provided by Krishna Valley Chamber of Commerce and Industries here.

          Sangli is known for years as one of the largest trading centers of Turmeric in the world. This is because there are underground turmeric warehouses popularly known as Pevs, on the banks of river Krishna near Sangli. Turmeric can be stored here for about 3 years without fear of insects or pests. Such type of natural warehouses for storing turmeric are there only in Sangli. Even during the monsoon when Krishna river is flooded there is no drop of water in these Pevs. This is the main reason why Sangli developed into a major Turmeric Centre.Sangli also came up as major Sugar & Jiggery Centre in India during the regime of Late Dr. Vasantdada Patil, the former chief minister of Maharashtra.
