The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 states that “small-scale industries provide immediate large-scale employment; they offer a method of ensuring a more equitable distribution of national income and they facilitate an effective mobilization of resources of capital and skill which might otherwise remain unutilized. Some of the problems that unplanned urbanization tends to create will be avoided by the establishment of small centre of industrial productions all over the country”.
