The largest proportion of industrial workers are found in the textile industry, because -
• The India is one of the largest textile manufacturing countries in the global market. And this high scale production of the textile requires a lot of labour work. That's why a large amount of labours are now working in this textile industries.
• The textile manufacturing process still requires a lot of manual works and that's why high amount of labours are observed in this industry.
