statement.
Answer: Importance of manufacturing industries for India:-
(i) It helps in modernizing agriculture, which is the base of our economy.
(ii)It reduces heavy dependence on agricultural income by providing jobs in non-agricultural sectors.
(iii)Industrial development is necessary for eradication of poverty and unemployment because people
get jobs and generate more income.
(iv)Export of manufactured goods expands trade and brings in much needed foreign exchange.
16 “Development of Iron and steel industry is very important for India’s development.” Support this 3
statement with three arguments.
1. All the other industries: heavy, medium and light depends on this industry for their machinery.
2. Steel is needed to manufacture a variety of engineering goods, construction material, defense,
medical, telephonic, scientific equipment and variety of consumer goods.
3. This industry contributes a lot in providing employment opportunities to the people. 4. It helps in
development in agriculture.
17 Why are sugar mills shifting and concentrating in southern and western State of India? Give reasons. 3
Answer: Sugar Industry is shifting towards southern and western States, because:-
(i)Cane produced here has higher sucrose content.
(ii)The favourable climatic conditions (cooler climate) ensure a longer growing and crushing season.
(iii)The Cooperatives are more successful in these States and sugar industry being seasonal in nature, is
ideally suited to cooperative sector.
(iv)Yield per hectare is higher in southern States.
18 Why is iron and steel industry called the basic or key industry? Explain. 5
(i)Since all the other industries- heavy, medium and light, depend on it for their machinery.
(ii)Steel is needed to manufacture a variety of engineering goods.
(iii)Steel is needed for construction material, defence and medical equipments.

(iii) Power. Cheap and continuous supply of power is extremely necessary for continuity in the
production process.
(iv)Capital. It is necessary for developing infrastructure, for the entire manufacturing process and for
