Introduction  
Industrial development is necessary for modernisation  
The sum of all kind of creative industries that is  
including production, trade and labor can be introduced as  
creative economy. Today, the creative industries are among  
the most powerful parts on the planet economy giving new  
chances to forming nations to jump into developing high-  
development regions of the world economy.(2)  
of agriculture. In India, agriculture is traditional and  
backward. The cost of production is high and productivity  
is low. We need tractors, threshers, pump sets and  
harvesters to modernise agriculture. To increase  
productivity, we need chemical fertilizers, pesticides and  
weedicides etc. These are all industrial products. Without  
industrial development, these goods cannot be produced.  
Agricultural products like jute, cotton, sugarcane etc. are  
raw materials. To prepare finished products like flex,  
textiles and sugar etc. we need industrialisation. So  
industrial development is necessary for modernisation of  
agriculture.  
The term creative industry include publishing, music,  
performing arts, advertising, fashion, computer games,  
photography, architecture, computer games, software, arts  
and crafts, research & development and TV and radio are  
the major function of creative industry in economic  
development. It can see that they are considered as  
significant source of cultural and commercial value.  
The creative economy does not have any one definition.  
It can defined that creative economy is can be an evolving  
concept which it make a interplay between technology,  
intellectual property, knowledge and idea of human

systems administration and information sharing for little  
and medium business (3).  
3.4 Importance in  
Industrialisation plays an important role in the  
promotion of trade. The advanced nations gain in trade than  
countries who are industrially backward. The  
underdeveloped countries export primary products and  
import industrial products. Agricultural products command  
lower prices and their demand is generally elastic. While  
industrial products command higher values & their demand  
is inelastic. This causes trade gap. To meet the deficit in  
balance of payments we have to produce import substitute  
products or go for export promotion through industrial  
development.  
Systems not just form associations with existing or  
potential customers yet in addition organizations with other  
imaginative enterprises organizations. This thusly makes an  
imaginative enterprises cooperative energy. Such  
collaborations happen as intended when "gatherings of  
people, regularly from various organizations, meet up for a  
constrained timeframe to attempt explicit errands before  
exchanging binds and being reassigned to different  
activities" defined by Reimer et al., in 2008 (4-6).  
At the core of the co-area discussion is whether  
geographic bunching really makes inventive enterprises  
progressively productive in creating local economies. There  
is additionally banter on whether enormous metropolitan  
groupings of inventive enterprises will keep on developing  
while local center stays vague in 2008 by Reimer et al. In  
3.5. Use of Natural Resources  
It is a common saying that India is a rich country  
inhabited by the poor. It implies that India is rich in natural  
resources but due to lack of capital and technology, these  
resources have not been tapped. Resources should be  
properly utilized to transform them into finished industrial  
products. The British people took India’s cheap raw-  
materials for producing industrial goods in their country.  
India was used as a market for their industrial products. So  
India fought with poverty and England gained during  
industrial revolution. Hence industrialisation plays  
important role for proper utilisation of resources.  
2015 Rowe and Collits (2015) contend that local organizers  
regularly don't have an unmistakable thought of how their  
economies work and even less thought regarding how to  
fuse imaginative ventures in territorial monetary  
arranging(7).

Result and Discussion  
Industrial development encourages the development of  
science and technology. The industrial enterprises conduct  
research and develop new products. Ethanol in the form of  
biofuel is an example of industrial development. Industry  
conducts research on its wastes and develops byproducts  
like biodiesel from Jatropha seeds. Due to industrialisation,  
we have made progress in atomic science, satellite  
communication and missiles etc.

.6 Alleviation of Poverty and Unemployment  
Poverty and unemployment can be eradicated quickly  
through rapid industrialisation. It has occurred in  
industrially advanced countries like Japan. The slow  
growth of industrial sector is responsible for widespread  
poverty and mass unemployment. So with fast growth of  
industrial sector, surplus labour from villages can be put  
into use in industry.  
3.1 Capital Formation  
Acute deficiency of capital is the main problem of

.7 Main Sector of Economic Development  
Industry is viewed as leading sector to economic  
Indian economy. In agricultural sector, the surplus is small.  
Its mobilisation is also very difficult. In large scale  
industries, the surplus is very high. By using external and  
internal economies, industry can get higher profit. These  
profits can be reinvested for expansion and development.  
So industrialisation helps in capital formation.  
development. We can have economies of scale by applying  
advanced technology and division of labour and scientific  
management. So production and employment will increase  
rapidly. This will bring economic growth and capital  
formation.

.8 Fast Growth of National and Per Capita Income  
Industrial development helps in the rapid growth of  
industrialisation.  
Industrialisation in a particular region brings growth of  
transport and communication. Schools, colleges, technical  
institutions, banking and health facilities are established  
near industrial base. Rourkela was dense forest but now is

national and per capita income. The history of economic  
development of advanced countries shows that there is a  
close relation between the level of industrial development  
and the level of national and per capita income. For  
instance, the share of industrial sector to national income  
was 26% and the per capita income in year 2000 was

industrialisation is necessary. During war and emergency  
dependence on foreign countries for war weapons may  
prove fatal. Self-reliance in capital goods and industrial  
infra-structure is also necessary. Atomic explosion at  
Pokhran (Rajasthan) and Agni Missile are examples of  
industrial growth.

comprehensive practical development. On the off chance  
that well-supported, the inventive economy can be a  
wellspring of auxiliary financial change, financial  
advancement, work creation and advancement while adding  
to social incorporation and reasonable human improvement.  
Basically Cultural and creative industries (CCI) are  
comprehensive. Individuals from every single social class  
from the indigenous to the tip top take an interest in this  
economy as makers and customers. Work in the segment  
will in general support youth and ladies contrasted and  
different divisions  
Table 1: Examples of Creative Industries

The term creative industries have numerous definitions.  
The most as a rule refered to are DCMS(British Department  
of Culture Media and Sports) and UNCTAD (United  
Nations Conference for Trade and Development). The term  
'creative industries' started to be utilized around twenty  
years back to portray a scope of exercises, some of which  
are among the most established in history and some of  
which just appeared with the coming of advanced  
innovation. A significant number of these exercises had  
solid social roots and the term 'cultural industries' was at  
that point being used to depict theater, move, music, film,  
the visual expressions and the legacy division, in spite of  
the fact that this term was itself questionable the same  
number of craftsmen felt it belittling to consider what they  
did as being, in any capacity, an 'industry' (12-14).  
The creative economy is one of the most unique  
divisions of the worldwide economy with an amazing  
transformative power for financial advancement. The  
innovative economy manages the interface between  
economy, culture, innovation, and social viewpoints.  
Having inventiveness as the primary driver, the area is  
focused around items and administrations bearing  
innovative substance, social worth and market goals.  
Inventive merchandise and ventures are flexible items for  
they depend on thoughts, learning, aptitudes and the  
capacity to take advantage of new lucky breaks.

.1 Creative Industries evolution  
After twenty years, the idea of the 'creative industries',  
and their significance, is perceived by pretty much every  
administration on the planet and is starting to offer path to a  
significantly more comprehensive thought of a more  
extensive 'creative economy'. Obviously, the longing to  
characterize explicit enterprises as 'creative' endures, and  
will no uncertainty keep on being so. In certain nations the  
definitions rotate intently around human expressions and  
culture.  
3.2 Cultural and creative industries can  
power human development  
Creative and cultural industries, which incorporate  
expressions and artworks, promoting, structure, excitement,  
design, books, media and programming, have turned into a  
fundamental power in quickening human advancement.  
They enable individuals to take responsibility for possess  
advancement and invigorate the development that can drive
