Question

Name the two sectors of the cottage textile industries. How are they different?

Answer 1

The cotton textile industry in India can be broadly divided into two sectors, the organized sector, and the unorganized sector. The decentralized sector includes cloth ‘ produced in handlooms (including Khadi) and power looms. The production of the organized sector has drastically fallen from 81 percent in the mid-twentieth century to only about 6 percent in 2000. At present, the power looms on the decentralized sector produce more than the handloom sector.
