Industrialization and regional development c.2

The present volume is a study of changes in industrialization and regional development. It reveals that the share of industry sector in the State Domestic Product in Punjab is a little less as compared to the share of industrial sector of India in the national Income. But inspite of the snag of the border state and the deficiency of natural resources, this share has grown over various plans at a faster rate in the State.
The book highlights three weak links in the process of industrialization, namely, the shy and urban-based entrepreneurship, competitive relationship between the small and the large sectors and the technological gaps in the industries. Unless the state is able to galvanise the urban entrepreneurs into the large scale production and is successful in rousing the dormant entrepreneur in the peasantry to bring it into the vertex of rural industrialization, the rapid progress in this sphere will not be possible.
