  animals managed by nearly 70 million farmers
• Revolution brought by - Operation flood
• The share of organized sector is small
  (private-11-12, Government/cooperative sector -
  11-12).

Role of Forest Resources in National Economy

• Forest is of paramount importance for
  socio-economic development of the rural areas.
• Important source of fuel and also of raw
  materials, such as, timber, bamboos, fodder,
  fruits, gums, resins, dyes, mushrooms, medicinal
  plants and many other non-wood forest products
  (NWFP).
• Over the years, many NWFP have become important
  sources of income and employment in rural areas
• Besides supplying timber and fuel, the forests
  are an important source of raw materials for the
  matchwood, plywood and paper industries and also
  potentially for the rayon industry .

18
Food Processing

• India is the among the largest producer of fruits
  and vegetables in the world.
• Food processing covers a spectrum of products
  from sub-sector comprising agriculture,
  horticulture, plantation, animal husbandry and
  fisheries
• The processed food industry ranks fifth in size
  in the country, representing 6.3 per cent of GDP.
  
• Accounts for 13 per cent of the country's exports
  and 6 per cent of total industrial investment.
  The industry size is estimated at US 70 billion,
  including US 22 billion of value added products.
  
• Its processing level is estimated to be around 2
  , as compared to about 80 in Malaysia, 30 in
  Thailand

19
Non Farm sector Transforming Rural India

• While agriculture dominates the rural scene, it
  is not the only economic activity there.
• Rural areas have had some manufacturing
  activities too - handloom weaving, oil pressing,
  bidi manufacturing
• Rural Non farm sector (RNFS) is an important one
  in terms of understanding the livelihood patterns
  of vast sections of the population.
• Rural Non Farm Sector (RNFS) holds the key to
  faster economic development of the country

20
Small Scale Industries

• Small-scale industry (SSI) is any unit with an
  upper limit on investment (in plant and
  machinery) of from Rs. 0.20 million to Rs. 0.35
  million.
• Village and small industries comprises of
  Handloom, Handicrafts, Coir, Sericulture, Khadi
  and Power looms
• VSI comprises of both traditional and modern
  group of Industries
• Generates revenue of almost Rs. 6000 crores and
  provides employment to about 50 million people
• Farmers can supplement their income and provide
  themselves with a better source of livelihood
  through these VSI.

21
Performance of Small Scale Industries
22
Forest-based small-scale manufacturing

• Forest based industries collection of forest
  plants and herbs for aromatic and medicinal
  purpose, cane and bamboo processing gums and
  resins katha manufacturing.
• These forest based industries utilize minor
  forest produce which are under the control of
  State Forest Departments.
• Also provides raw material to industries like
  Timber, match industry.

23
Cluster Development A way towards Nations
development

• With a contribution of 40 to the country's
  industrial output and 35 to direct exports, the
  Small-Scale Industry (SSI) sector has achieved
  significant milestones for the industrial
  development of India.
• Indian SSI clusters share significant constraints
  like technological obsolescence, relatively poor
  product quality, information deficiencies, poor
  market linkages and inadequate management systems
  .

24
Rural consumers and unexplored rural market

• Average rural income in 1994-1995 -------55-58
• 2004-2005--------63-64
• Number of middle and high income households in
  rural India expected to grow from 80 million to
  111 million by 2007.
• In urban India expected to grow from 46 million
  to 59 million by 2007
• Increased income in farm sector impacts the
  entire economy however it has an almost
  immediate impact on some sectors like consumer
  durables and non-durables, tractors and
  motorcycles

25
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Sector

• Sector is expected to witness more than 50 per
  cent growth in rural and semi-urban India by
  2010.
• Rural market for FMCG is worth 14.4 billion
• The total numbers of rural households are
  expected to rise from 135 million in 2001-02 to
  153 million in 2009-10.
• This presents the largest potential market in the
  world.
• With 12.2 of the world population living in the
  villages of India, the Indian rural market is a
  market that no one can afford to overlook.

26
Durable Goods

• Rural areas witnessed rapid market growth driven
  largely by agricultural growth, income
  redistribution, and inroads made by audio-visual
  media
• The rural share of the market for durable goods
  has grown steadily over the last few years, from
  54.2 percent to 57.9 percent in 2004, and in
  items such as bicycles, mechanical wrist watches,
  radio/ transistors etc. the share of the rural
  market was in excess of 75 percent

Development

• Conclusion
• Winds of Growth from Rural India
• Indias rural economy is vital for growth.
• However the biggest problem is that of finance.
• Microfinance models should be established in a
  systematic way.
• Thrust must be provided to the rural industries
