Question
Explain any three factors that have led to the growth of industrialization in India.
Solution
Three factors that have led to the growth of industries in India are :
- Raw material
- Power
- Labour
1. Raw Material: India is richly endowed with a variety of minerals. It is self-sufficient in materials for making steel, aluminium, cement and other products because of the availability of minerals. The agricultural produce like sugarcane, jute and cotton are also responsible for the growth of the textile industry, sugar industry and jute industry.
2. Power: Regular supply of power is a must for the localization of certain industries like iron and steel, aluminium, electrometallurgical and electrochemical industries which need large quantities of power. HEP, thermal power and other sources of power are available in India. So, these industries developed in India.
3. Labour: Modern industry still requires a large number of workers despite the increasing mechanisation. Location of any industrial unit is determined by the availability of skilled and unskilled supply of labours.
