Question

What is the difference between Small Scale And Large Scale Industries?

Answer 1

The exact meaning of industrialisation is a process by which an increasing proportion of a country’s economic activity is involved in the industry. The basis of the division of the large-scale and small-scale industries is generally the size, capital resources, and labour of the individual unit.
