Which industry provides the largest employment in India?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Textiles
Textiles is the largest employer among industries, and after agriculture the largest source of employment in the country, taking in some tens of millions of people across spinning, weaving, processing and garment-making.
Two features explain it. The industry is labour-intensive at almost every stage, and much of it is decentralised into handloom, powerloom and small units rather than concentrated in large mills. Chemicals, iron and steel are capital-intensive and employ far fewer for their output, and jute, though labour-intensive, is confined largely to eastern India and much smaller in total.
