Manufacturing industry

Explanation:

The criterion used to measure the strength of a country is the strength of its manufacturing sector. For the general and economic development of the country, the manufacturing sector plays an important role as it is the backbone of development. Manufacturing industries increase employment in the country and provide job opportunities not only in manufacturing but also in the secondary and tertiary sectors that supports it. This will reduce the dependence of people on the agricultural sector and increase GDP. It brings in foreign exchange as manufactured goods are exported, thus increasing trade and commerce of the country. Manufacturing supports all other industries and even agriculture from where it obtains raw materials.
