Q7081. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R): Assertion (A): The MSME sector plays a highly crucial role in generating employment opportunities in India. Reason (R): MSMEs are generally capital-intensive rather than labor-intensive industries.
Explanation
MSMEs are vital for employment generation in India because they are generally labor-intensive, meaning they employ more people per unit of capital compared to large industries. While they play a crucial role in the economy, claiming they are capital-intensive is incorrect. Their ability to provide jobs with relatively lower investment makes them essential for inclusive growth and regional development across the country.
