Manashree Das

Abstract :

The pitiful picture of the industrial development of Assam along with north eastern states already proves nothing is gained from so called ‘policy of liberalization’ or economic reform that has already passed almost two decades. Time has come to realize the economic backwardness and industrial backwardness of the state like Assam along with other north eastern states. Economic development is not possible without industrial development. In Assam large scale industrial development is not viable because it is capital intensive. In Assam growth of capital formation is very slow and low. Available manpower in the form of labour and organizer or entrepreneur and available agro based raw materials like jute, bamboo, cane, fruits, rubber, Assam can develop lots of agro based industries of all kinds. Development and expansion of MSME on the basis of agro based resources, Assam can also fulfil the twin objectives of national policy–inclusive growth and sustainable development. The paper is an attempt to focus how industrial backwardness of the state can be mitigated by utilizing available agro based resources like jute. The study is based on secondary data and is descriptive in nature.
