Abstract

Economic development of country largely depends upon the rural areas because India lives in villages. About 70 per cent of the population living in rural areas depends upon agriculture and its allied activities. But agriculture alone can't provide employment to the vast millions of the population. So it causes migration of rural people to urban areas in search of employment. Therefore, there is a need to provide employment opportunities through the rural industrialization. The present study is based on data, available from the annual reports of Khadi and Villages Industry from 2000–01 to 2008–09. In this study an attempt is made to identify the problems of rural industrialization and to suggest the promotional measures for strengthen the rural economy.
