Brief Note on Importance of Industrial Growth in Indian Economy

By Victor S. Fischer
The Indian Government understood the importance of industries in India. The industrial policy undertaken on July 1991 by the Congress Government, have been designed to build on the past industrial achievements and to accelerate the process of making Indian industry internationally competitive, with a view to integrate the Indian economy with the world economy.

By Victor S. Fischer
1. India is a land of festivals. We celebrate our festivals with great enthusiasm. The festivals make us forget our cares and anxieties. They break the monotony of our everyday life. They provide great joy and fun. We celebrate the different festivals at different times. Holi perhaps the happiest festival of the Hindus. It is a spring festival. It is celebrated on the first day of Chaitra. It marks the beginning of the spring season. The beauty of nature makes this festival colourful. The lovely flowers with their dazzling colors and the sweet songs of the cuckoo provide a charming background to Holi. 2. The Holi celebrations begin on the last day of Phalgun.
