Title

Role of Micro Food Processing Industry in income and employment generation of rural areas: a case study from Kamrup district, Assam

Abstract

Income and employment generation in rural areas have remained prime focus in national plan strategies in India since the First Fifth Year Plan period. Poverty, lack of employment generation and limited scope for enhancing income not only cripple the rural workforce, but stand as a major obstacle behind the growth of national economy as a vast rural workforce remained under-employed. The non-agricultural activities that can divert rural workforce from the over burdened agricultural sector are the micro industrial, micro commercial and micro trading activities in addition to commercialised allied agricultural activities. Traditional non-commercial micro food processing activities in the form of household activities persisted in Assam since the historic times but growth of such activities in commercial and micro-industrial form started emerging very recently, particularly after implementation of various government logistic and financial support policies over last few decades. These micro food processing industries have generated non-agricultural employment to a sizeable proportion of rural workforce with gradual strengthening of the government support policies and creation of trading opportunities for this category of industry the micro food processing industries can serve as an effective tools in eradication of poverty and for income and employment generation in the rural areas of Assam. The present study highlights the role of micro food processing industries in income and employment generation in rural areas of Kamrup district, which is a representative areal unit of Assam as a whole.
