This document provides an overview of industrialization and factors affecting industrial location in India. It defines industry and industrialization, and explains their significance for India's development. Key factors hampering industrial growth in India include a lack of infrastructure, rapid population growth, and bureaucratic delays. Industries are classified by nature, ownership, and size. Location selection considers efficiency, costs, revenues, and factors like raw materials, labor, transportation, power availability, and government policy. Choosing the best location is important for long-term success of industrial projects in India.

2.  Meaning of industry and industrialization,
Significance of industrialization in India
 Factors hampering industrial development of
India/ Problems of industrialization
 Meaning and importance of location,
 Factors affecting industrial location
 Classification of industries

3.  Industry is characterized by the conversion of
raw materials into final product with the help of
human efforts working with machines.
 Raw material  human labor + machines
(process)  final product
 Ex. Cotton  weaving, bleaching, dying with
help of labor  cloth = cotton textile industry
 Ex. Cement industry, Jute industry, oil industry,
ship building industry, sugar industry,

9.  Cotton is spun in small villages with very
simple tools such as Charkha or handloom,
all managed manually , it is called ‘Cottage
industry’
 Human efforts play an important role

10.  It refers to large scale modern industries which are
characterized by the use of-
- complex modern machinery
- A large number of people handling machines
- Factory system of production
- Mass production of goods and services at rapid
speed
- Use of electricity or such power
- Wide domestic and often foreign markets for
goods produced in such factories or plants

11. 1. Substitute for agricultural product:
- ex. Man-made fibers for cotton yarn, synthetic rubber,
plastic wrappings and materials
2. To reduce unemployment and poverty
3. Value addition process in India
- Using raw material in India only to prepare final
product, which increase income of people
4. To raise income of people engaged in agriculture

12. 5. Modernization of India's agricultural sector:
- By increase in the supply of industrial goods i.e.,
tractors, electrical engines, pump, hybrid seeds etc.
6. More self reliance
- Reduction in imports, less dependence in foreign
countries
7. To develop defense system
- Vast network of modern industries are required to
produce bombs, warships, missiles, rifles and guns
etc.
8. Decreasing importance of agriculture

13. 1. Economic factor:
- Lack of infrastructure facilities (transport,
communication, training insti., fin. Insti.)
- Lack of power
2. Socio-demographic environment:
- Rapid growth of population -> low per capita
income -> low rate of saving -> Low rate of
investment, poverty
- Variety of cast, religion, culture in India, only
certain castes and community will associate with
industry and commerce. Hindrance to
entrepreneurs

14. - Mentality on life is influenced by fatalism, theory
of Karma (deeds of past life)
3. Public administrative machinery:
- Lack of decision making ability, bureaucratic
delays, corruption, waste of various types of
resources and inefficient implementation of
developmental schemes.
4. International environment:
- Developed countries may put restrictions on
exports of capital goods and equipment for
countries like India

15.  Industries classified into:
1. Nature- Capital goods, Producing goods,
consumption goods
2. Ownership- Private, Public & Joint sector
3. Size- Small scale, medium scale & large scale
industries

 Cost of labor, and material also depend on
location.

20. 1. Land and raw material:
- Land includes water, forest wealth, rivers, coastline,
wind etc.
