The correct answer is option 3: Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct. Assertion: Countries like India, China, Indonesia and Brazil, etc. have given importance to small scale manufacturing. This statement is correct. These countries promote small scale industries because they generate employment, use local resources, and support regional development. Reasoning: Small scale industries are capital intensive and they help in achieving the objective of balanced regional development. This statement is incorrect because small scale industries are generally labour intensive, not capital intensive. However, they do help in balanced regional development. NCERT:" Small scale manufacturing is distinguished from household industries by its production techniques and place of manufacture (a workshop outside the home/cottage of the producer). This type of manufacturing uses local raw material, simple power -driven machines and semi-skilled labour. It provides employment and raises local purchasing power. Therefore, countries like India, China, Indonesia and Brazil, etc. have developed labour-intensive small scale manufacturing in order to provide employment to their population." |
