Abstract
The economic development of any country depends upon industrialization. Though it has got recognition in our country, it is high time we thought about balanced regional development, an important component of industrialization. Rural development forms a key component in a nation’s progress towards economic freedom and equality. But the migration of rural people to cities and the in effective utilization of rural resources stand as hurdles to rural development. Hence it is very important to develop and to encourage rural industry by considering its significance on the socio-economic front of the country. Rural or traditional industry, one of the sub-sectors in small-scale industry, has a direct and important influence on sustainable economic development.
