    Manufacturing industries are considered the backbone of economic development by helping to modernize agriculture, reduce dependence on agriculture, eradicate unemployment and poverty, and bring down regional disparities. The iron and steel industry is the basic industry as steel is needed to manufacture many goods, but India lags in steel production due to issues like high coal costs, lower productivity, and poor infrastructure. While industries contribute to economic growth, they can also degrade the environment through air, water, thermal, and noise pollution from releasing gases, wastes, and unwanted noise. Pollution can be controlled by minimizing water usage, treating effluents before release, and harvesting rainwater.

    Manufacturing Industries
    I. Importance of Manufacturing :
    Manufacturing sector is considered the backbone of development in general
    and economic development.
    (i) Manufacturing industries helps in modernising agriculture.
    (ii) It reduce the heavy dependence of people on agriculture income by providing them jobs.
    (iii) Helps in eradication of unemployment & poverty.
    (iv) Helps in bringing down regional disparities.
    (v) Exports of manufactured goods expand trade & commerce.
    II. Iron and Steel Industry :
    - Iron and steel industry is the basic industry steel is needed to manufacture
    a variety of engineering goods, construction material, defence, medical,
    telephonic, scientific equipment and variety of consumer goods.
    - Iron and steel industry is a heavy industry because all raw material as
    well as finished goods are heavy and bulky entailing heavy transportation
    costs. Iron ore, coking coal and lime stone are required in 4 : 2 : 1
    - India is an important iron and steel producing country in the world yet we
    lag behind because.
    (a)High costs and limited availability of coking coal.
    (b)
    Lower productivity of labour.
    (c)Irregular supply of energy.
    (d)
    Poor infrastructure.
    III. Industrial Pollution and Environmental Degradation :
    Industries contribute significantly to Indias economic growth and development but increase in pollution results in degradation of environment.
    4 Types of Pollution :
    (a) Air : caused by undesirable gases such as sulpher dioxide and carbon
    monoxide, air borne particles such as dust, sprays, mist & smoke.
    (b)
    Water Pollution : Caused by organic & inorganic industrial wastes
    such as release of lead, mercury pesticides, fertilizers, synthetic chemical,
    plastics, rubber, fly ash, phosphogypsum etc.
    (c) Thermal Pollution : Caused by nuclear power plants nuclear & weapon

    production cause cancers birth defects & miscarriages.


    (d)
    Noise Pollution : Cause heaving impairment, increased heart rate &
    blood pressure by making unwanted noise.
    (IV) Control of Environment Degradation :
    - Minimising the use of water by reusing recycling.
    - Harvesting rainwater to meet water requirement.
    - Treatment of hot water and effluents before releasing in ponds & rivers,
    involves 3 steps.
    1. Primary treatment by mechanical means.
    2. Secondary treatment by biological process.
    3. Tertiary treatment by biological chemical & physical processes.
    Answer the following Questions :
    1. Describe the importance of Industries in the Economic development of a country?
    2. Why iron and steel industry is called the basic industry?
    3. Name the important raw material used in the manufacturing of iron and steel.
    4. Critically examine how industries causes the environmental degradation?
    5. Suggest some measures to control environmental degradation?
