Abstract
Household Industries play a vital role in the development of a developing
economy like India. These industries not only raise the per capita income and
standard of living of the people by providing employment opportunities but also
reduce the disparities in the economic structure. A wide variety of household
industries can be seen in India. The industries that are seen in rural India are
mostly different that found in urban India. But some of industries can be seen both
in rural and urban parts of India based on availability of raw materials. Bamboo
based industry is one of the household industry which mainly seen in the eastern
part of India and can be found in small towns and maximum rural parts.
Mathabhanga is a small town in the northern part of West Bengal which has
ample resources for bamboo based industries. A large number of people have
engaged in this work for their livelihood and they rely on local markets and weekly
hats to sell their products. A total of 50 units of this industry have taken for this
work which is taken from different wards of this town and data are collected from
each house by field survey. A total of nine parameters have been taken to find out
the most important factors that effect on income generation of this industry.
Multiple linear regressions have been used here to find out the result. Result
shows that out of nine parameters, seven have an impact on generation of income
in this study area.
