Answer» In India, land and capital is scarce whereas labour is abundant. - The population grows at a fast rate and hence labour supply keeps on increasing. On the other hand the employment opportunities do not grow at the same rate. This keeps a large number of labour unemployed.
- In such a condition India should adopt labour intensive production techniques to provide employment at a large scale.
- When Bhagwati Committee and Venkataraman Committee were formed to study unemployment they also recommended using less of mechanization and using labour intensive techniques.
- Industries such as consumer goods, small and medium scale industries and business and trade, animal husbandry, dairy development, etc. have huge potential to employ a large of labourers as contrast to large mechanized industries.
- Hence, labour intensive technique is more applicable for India.
