1.1.5 Problems of Industrialisation

The haphazard and uneven growth of industrial activites have given rise to various evils which must be eradicated for sound and effective industrialization. The principle industrial concentration in India is to be found at the ports and commercial centres such as Coimbatore, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kolkota,Delhi and Kanpur. The iron and steel and various ancillary industries are located in West Bengal and Bihar where coal and iron-ore are found in close proximity, while the other main industries like jute and cotton textiles and largely concentrated in the vicinity of ports and commercial centres. Ports provide an ideal location for the cotton textile and jute mill industries, since these industries depend largely on the export market.
