β’ The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948: Focused on encouraging private investment, ensuring balanced industrial growth, and promoting small-scale industries.
Detailed Explanation
This policy was one of the first comprehensive approaches by the Indian government to shape the industrial landscape post-independence. It set the foundation for a mixed economy, where both private and public sectors worked together. The focus was on encouraging private investment with a view to develop several sectors of the economy. Additionally, it aimed to ensure that industries were established in a balanced manner across different regions of India to avoid over-concentration in urban areas. Promoting small-scale industries was vital as they created employment and contributed to rural development.
Examples & Analogies
Think of the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948 like a gardener preparing a plot for planting seeds. Just as a gardener carefully lays out where different plants will grow based on the sunlight and space available, the government wanted to carefully plan where industries would be developed across the country for balanced growth.
