Explanation:

The Great Depression began in 1929. India was an exporter of wheat to European countries. When the international prices of wheat crashed because of the Great Depression, prices of wheat in India fell almost by 50%. Peasants and farmers were the worst sufferers. While the prices of the crops declined, the government refused to reduce the revenues. This forced the peasants to borrow money from the moneylenders. At this time in India, the peasants’ indebtedness increased.

The importance of tourism:

India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world where tourism plays a significant role.

In the modern world, it is very important to let rise our standards internationally so that we can have a fair competition in world markets, therein tourism laying the foundation stone of entering into the global markets as this has been helping in the development of international understanding about our heritages.

Thus providing a channel for the foreigners to explore heritage, ecotourism, adventure, and business tourism. It helps in promoting national integration. More than ten million are engaged in tourism in our land as it has largely benefited local handicrafts.

It has also contributed to foreign exchange by tourist arrival which has substantially grown over the past few years.

Unemployment is a situation where in the persons willing to work fail to find a job that earns them living. Unemployment means lack of employment. In simple way, unemployment means the state of being unemployed. The rate of unemployment varies over a wide range among the different states of India. When a person does not get a full time work, it is called under- employment.    When the productivity and income of a person increase by changing his occupation, he is also known as underemployed.

Unemployment may be categories in – seasonal unemployment , Industrial unemployment, Educational unemployment, Technological unemployment and Disguised unemployment. Agricultural labourers, farmers, workers of sugar mills, rice sellers, cotton ginning units and ice factories are included in seasonal  unemployment. Workers forced to be unemployed due to saving devices are counted in industrial unemployment. Educated unemployment means educated unemployed persons with no job. Technological unemployment refers to person who have been put out of work by the introduction of a superior technology in their idea of operation. Disguised unemployment is a common feature in agriculture where more than required person have been engaged in the cultivation of the same plot. It is a sort of under – employment.

The manufacturing sector is considered as the backbone of the economic development of the country because of the following reasons:

(1) Manufacturing sector helps in modernising agriculture which increases agricultural productivity.

(2) The export of manufactured goods expands trade and commerce.

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs but not every man’s greed said Gandhiji. Hard facts on why energy conservation is a must are outlined below.

We use energy faster than it can be produced - Coal, oil and natural gas - the most utilised sources take thousands of years for formation.

Energy resources are limited - India has approximately 1% of world’s energy resources but it has 16% of world population.

Most of the energy sources we use cannot be reused and renewed - Non renewable energy sources constitute 80% of the fuel use. It is said that our energy resources may last only for another 40 years or so.

We save the country a lot of money when we save energy - About 75 per cent of our crude oil needs are met from imports which would cost about Rs.1, 50,000 crore a year

We save our money when we save energy - Imagine your savings if your LPG cylinder comes for an extra week or there is a cut in your electricity bills

We save our energy when we save energy - When we use fuel wood efficiently, our fuel wood requirements are lower and so is our drudgery for its collection

Energy saved is energy generated - When we save one unit of energy, it is equivalent to 2 units of energy produced

Save energy to reduce pollution - Energy production and use account to large proportion of air pollution and more than 83 percent of greenhouse gas emissions

An old Indian saying describes it this way - The earth, water and the air are not a gift to us from our parents but a loan from our children. Hence we need to make energy conservation a habit.
