CLEAN INDIA THROUGH RURAL INDUSTRIALISATION
Journal Title: Pollution and Public Health - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Setting up industries in rural locations will solve the problem of migration of rural population to cities and reduce the environmental pollution there. This will also provide alternate employment to the rural work force who are mainly engaged in agriculture which has become unviable due to small land holdings and low wages. Recycling of used packaging to produce new products has been suggested in this paper due to growing consumption of the same, availability of raw material from waste collection, as well as, other pertinent aspects including economic, social and other benefits. Also, by collection and recycling discarded packaging, the volume of garbage and hence environmental pollution will be reduced. Mahatma Gandhi’s idea to develop the Indian society was based on his understanding of the rural society and hence based on the village system. Talking about the importance of village, he wrote in 1936, “I would say if the village perishes, India will perish too. It will be no more India” Through employment, the manufacturing units will provide “on the job “training to the local population and contribute to skill development. This will be of help in operating and maintaining modern farm machinery and equipment. Also, as part of their social responsibility, the units will contribute to development of the locality by promoting hygiene, education, sports and cultural activities, providing clean drinking water etc. Modern living conditions in rural areas, with better housings having running water and flush toilets, electricity (solar), cooking gas (bio), garbage disposal etc. will be the consequences of assured employment through industries. Besides recycling, there are many other industries which are suitable for rural locations and some of them have been listed at the end of this article.
