Physical factors and three human factors that affect the location of industries are:
 (i) Availability of raw materials
 (ii) Availability of power resources
 (iii) Suitable climate
 (iv) Availability of water

 Human factors that affect the location of industries are:
 (i) Availability of labour (ii) Availability of market (iii) Government policies

Those industries that employs large number of workers in each unit and having large production level are
 known as large scale industries. e.g. cotton textile industry.

The industry that employs small number of workers in each unit and having small production level is
 known as small scale industry. e.g. readymade garment industries.

(i) Cotton textile have a very high demand throughout the country.
 (ii) Major inputs like banking, electricity, transportation are available in almost every part of the country.
 (iii) Textile industry is labour intensive industry and labour is easily available in India.

(iii) Out dated machinery and technology
(iv) Low output of workers
(v) Stiff international competition

(i) To increase the productivity
(ii) To improve the quality
(iii) Ensuring good prices to the jute farmers

The internal demand for jute has been on the increase because -
(i) Government policy of mandatory use of jute packaging
(ii) The growing global concern for environment friendly biodegradable materials.

(i) High Costs and Limited availability of coking coal.
(ii) Lower productivity of labour
(iii) Shortage of power
(iv) Poor infrastructure.
(v) Low Investment in Research and Development.

Iron and steel industry is called the basic industry because:
 (i) It is the industry which lays the foundation of rapid development of other industries such as heavy  Engineering, defence equipment, automobiles, aeroplanes etc.
(ii) It is also helpful in providing employment.
(iii) It also helps in the development of agriculture.
