Question

What helped the Small scale industries to survive and grow in first half of 1900?

Answer 1

Explanation:

While factory industries grew steadily after the war, large industries formed a small segment of the economy. Most of them were located in Bengal and Bombay.

Over the rest of the country, small-scale production continued to predominate.

In some instances, handicrafts production actually expanded in the 20th century.

While cheap machine-made thread wiped out the spinning industry in the 19th century, handloom cloth production survived, despite problems.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution, now also known as the First Industrial Revolution, was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Europe and the United States, in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increasing use of steam power and water power, the development of machine tools and the rise of the mechanized factory system. The Industrial Revolution also led to an unprecedented rise in the rate of population growth.
