The area of operation of "Sahakarmaharshi Bhausaheb Thorat Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd." is a famine prone area. There is no flow irrigation in this area. Actually in the year 1959 the farmers have decided to have a co-op. Sugar Factory in this area & started for collection of share capital and submitted the proposal to the Govt. of India have deputed two commissions for the survey of the viz. Pasricha Commision & Jain Commision. Unfortunately both the commissions have given negative report to the Govt. On the ground that there is no potentially for sugar cane. However with the constant pursuance of nearly 9 years, skillful handling and full devotion and active leadership of Late Hon. Bhausaheb Thorat, the karkhana has got success in getting the registration and license in 1966. No doubt, the help of the Late Shri Annasaheb Shinde, then the State Minister of Agriculture, Govt. of India is a notable part in this achievement. While granting the license, the Govt. of India has laid down the condition to purchase the old 800 TCD plant of Chhatrapati S.S.K. Ltd., Sansar. Since the plant was old one, no any financial institute was ready to finance the project. In such critical situation the Ahmednagar Dist. Central Co-Op. Bank Ltd., has put their hands of Co-Operation and only with the financial assistance of Ahmednagar Dist. Central Co-Op. Bank Ltd., this karkhana could start is functioning (Purchase of land, plant and machinery etc.)
