If it is said that India is still a country of villages, it will not be an exaggeration, but at the same time it is also true that Indian society is slowly moving towards urbanization. We get this information from the census held every ten years. On the other hand, the structure of our villages has also changed a lot and many villages have facilities like cities. Under these circumstances, the small businesses of villages and towns, which are called cottage industries, are seeing drastic changes. Many cottage industries are in distress or have come to an end due to inability to compete with the big industries.
The decline in cottage industries in India had started coming for the first time due to the policies of the British rule, whereas at that time only cottage industries were prevalent in the name of industries in India. In village-village, various industries like handloom, handicrafts, oil crusher were established at private level and were the main means of rural employment.
As a result of the Industrial Revolution in England, large mills were established there, for which raw materials were mainly imported from India at cheap prices. Then the finished goods were sold at high prices in the mandis of India. Due to this process going on for a long time, the Indian cottage industry got destroyed. Later, Gandhiji inspired people to spin yarn from house to house with the charkha, which eased the situation a bit.
After attainment of independence, our central government laid special emphasis on the establishment of agriculture and heavy industries respectively, due to which small and cottage industries gradually got neglected. However, the cottage industries could not be completely eliminated because the efforts of the people at the private level were involved in its operation and even today the cottage industries are playing their useful role standing parallel to other industries.In villages, towns and cities, various works like flour mill, oil mill, kathloom, silk and khadi cloth, harvesting and weaving etc. are being done at the level of cottage industry. The traditional professions of tailor, carpenter, blacksmith etc. fall in this category. Some people are doing small scale metallurgy, leather work, parts making of various machines, brick making, paper bag making etc. which are the best examples of modern cottage industries.
Even though the nature of cottage industries has changed all over the world due to the development of science and technology, the future of such industries cannot be said in balance. Mechanization is also a happy event in cottage industries as it has led to rapid increase in production capacity. Processing of fruits and vegetables is easily done through cottage industries based on these.
