In 1955, _____ noted the possibility of using small-scale industries for promoting rural development.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Karve Committee.

  • In 1955, the Karve Committee emphasized the potential of small-scale industries to foster rural development in India.
  • The committee noted that promoting such industries could help alleviate rural poverty by generating employment, enhancing local resources, and reducing regional imbalances. Small-scale industries empowered rural populations, allowing them to utilize traditional skills and local raw materials.
  • The committee's recommendations laid the foundation for policies aimed at decentralizing industrial development, which later became crucial for inclusive economic growth and reducing the rural-urban divide in the country.
