Agriculture

Bareilly is, traditionally, a wheat growing belt of Rohilkhand. Corporate giant Hindustan Unilever has undertaken contract farming of rice in Bareilly and Punjab and its success has ensured low-cost, better-quality produce for its customers. The company has expressed interest in extending the experiment, but feels an enabling environment in terms of agriculture laws and infrastructure facilities is required.

Electricity

In 2009, Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) allowed private players to be awarded contracts to supply power in nine cities. The same companies will be the outsource points for collecting revenue on behalf of the state government. The system will be implemented in nine cities of the state on a pilot basis.
