Abstract

This chapter explains the sugar industry of Uttar Pradesh, which plays a significant role in the economy. An attempt has been made to critically analyze the role of cane growers and the significant number of employees who are directly employed in this industry. Statistical figures suggest that, during 2010-12, the sugar industry in Uttar Pradesh paid around.78.27 Crores of Rupees as cane price to the growers and around .15 Crores of Rupees as wages to about 30,000 persons employed directly in the industry. The industry contributed more than 20.8 Crores of Rupees to government exchequer in the form of cane cess and excise duty on sugar and molasses in addition to another sizeable amount by way of commercial taxes, income tax, and other levies. An in-depth study is carried out to understand decent working time conditions of these cane workers who are the major factors for increasing production in this sector. The study focuses on increasing the productivity of these cane workers by effective allocation of time based on gender and age.
