Answer:
Introduction – Mention that At present, cotton textile industry is largest organised modem industry of India. There has been a phenomenal growth of this industry during the last four decades. About 16 per cent of the industrial capital and over 20 per cent of the industrial labour of the country is engaged in this industry.
Body – Explain that initially textile industry developed in certain major centres such as Mumbai, Surat etc which had all the factors that are responsible for location of textile industries. Mention factors such as easy transportation, cheap labour, closer to market etc. Next, discuss the reasons for decentralization of cotton textile industry such as – Dispersal of industry from the old nuclei started after 1921 with railway lines penetrating into the peninsular region. New centres like Coimbatore, Madurai, Bangalore, Nagpur, Indore, Solapur and Vadodara were favourably located in respect to raw material, market and labour than places of original locations. This industry also reached some places with some additional advantages, such as nearness to coal (Nagpur), financial facilities (Kanpur) and wide market with port facilities (Kolkata); Dispersal of cotton textile industry was further boosted with the development of hydroelectricity. The growth of this industry in Coimbatore, Madurai and Tirunelveli is largely due to the availability of hydroelectricity from Pykara dam. The industry also tended to shift from areas of high labour cost to those with low labour cost. The labour cost factor played a crucial role in establishing this industry at Madurai, Tirunelveli, and Coimbatore etc.
Answer:
I think ur asking for decentralisation
if not then comment
Explanation:
THIS ANSWER IS FOR DECENTALISATION...
Causes of Decentralisation of cotton textile industries in India -
1. Advent of Electricity:
With the coming of electricity, it is no longer necessary to locate the factories near coal-mines or on the banks of rivers or streams.
Electricity can be supplied at a distance of hundreds of miles from the generating station.
2 . Risk of Bombing:
The last war has shown that centralisation is dangerous, as a crowded area is more vulnerable to bombing from the air. Wise governments, therefore, encourage the spreading out of industry. The industry gets decentralised.
3 . Development of Means of Transport:
On account of improved transport, distant markets can be approached and distant sources of raw materials tapped. The industry need not be located near the market or near the raw materials, if there are other more important advantages elsewhere. Thus industry gets decentralised.
4 . Higher Costs in Old Centres:
A rise in costs in old industrial centres and concessions available elsewhere help decentralisation. It is found that as industries grow up, rents rise and so do the municipal taxes. The cost of living also goes up which necessitates the payments of higher wages. Factory sites also become very costly.
