Economic Development of India and Cottage Industries (Their role and Contribution in the Development)

Journal Title: JOURNAL OF COMMERCE AND TRADE - Year 2006, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

For the balanced economic growth in the country, the era of economic planning started in India on April 1,1951, when the first five-year plan was launched. Since then, nine five year plans have been completed and the tenth five-year plan is in progress. All these plans have stressed upon balanced economic growth in all the sectors of economy. Though agriculture is the largest source of livelihood for the people in India yet only this source is not sufficient for development of the Indian economy. It is believed that cottage industries can generate employment to the villagers and they can utilize their idle time and can be successful in improving their economic status.
