They alone cannot play the vital role in the development of a country as the production is low. Thus, the medium and large scale industries are essential for the rapid development of a country. Very few places of country have adequate infrastructures of large scale industry. In those places, medium and large scale industries have been established. An area having several types of industries like cottage or small scale, medium and large scale industries are called Industrial Estate.

Types of Industry
There are mainly three types of industries. These are: Cottage and Small Scale Industry, Medium and Large Scale Industry, and Tourist Industry.

Cottage Industry: The traditional industries that are being carried on in village in small scale are called cottage industries. These industries use local materials to produce varieties of things for our daily use. The farmers do not throughout the year in the field. They work during rainy season to cultivate crops and in autumn season to harvest the crops they have planted. Rest of the time, they spend producing various things for their use and also to earn by selling them. The main cottage industries that are found in Nepal are as follows:


  • Industries based on Agricultural products: Weaving threads with hands to prepare handloom cloth, make shoes from skin animals, make carpet from straw, sheep’s wool and coconut fibre, prepare sugar and jaggery (chaku) from sugarcane, produce oil from mustard seeds, etc. come under this category.
