Question

Why is it important for our country to keep the mill sector lower than power loom and handloom?

Answer 1

Hint:
Many artisans and weavers work independently along with their family on handlooms and power loom in our country. Most of them have only one mill and are poor and this is their only source of income for them.

Complete answer:
The reasons for which the mill sector looming has to be kept lower than power loom and handloom are:
The power loom and handloom are little to medium-sized creation units and give a decent work occasion to nearby individuals. Whereas, mills are large units that require less manpower due to automation resulting in low employment. Thus, employment is a very big reason for this.
Continuous and stable employment leads to better earnings, which bolster the economic condition of semi-urban and rural people. Consequently, improving their living standards and overall development.
While power looms and handlooms are established chiefly in semi-metropolitan and country territories, factories are endemic to urban areas. Therefore, power looms and handlooms help in decreasing migration.
Little units are controlled by lower or working class individuals, while plants are possessed by large business firms. This helps in an efficient distribution of income and helps in income-parity.
Around 70 per cent of the rural population depends upon agriculture, which is in an abysmal situation. In the presence of employment opportunities in other areas like textile, heavy dependency on agriculture could be reduced.
Thus, the industrial or mill looming is always kept lower than the power looms and the handlooms to make rural people self-sufficient.

Note:
If the industrial production increases in the mills, the livelihood of many families who work on power looms and handlooms in their houses will be affected. It will also result in poverty and unemployment.
