Manufacturing industries not only help in modernising agriculture, which forms the backbone of
our economy, they also reduce the heavy dependence of people on agricultural income by
providing them jobs in secondary and tertiary sectors. Industrial development is a precondition
for eradication of unemployment and poverty from our country. This was the main philosophy
behind public sector industries and joint sector ventures in India. It was also aimed at bringing
down regional disparities by establishing industries in tribal and backward areas. Export of
manufactured goods expands trade and commerce, and brings in much needed foreign exchange.
Countries that transform their raw materials into a wide variety of finished goods of higher value
are prosperous. India’s prosperity lies in increasing and diversifying its manufacturing industries
as quickly as possible. Agriculture and industry are not exclusive of each other. They move hand in
hand. For instance, the agro-industries in India have given a major boost to agriculture by raising
its productivity.
