Manufacturing Industries · Class 10 Geography: quick revision, 70 bites

Manufacturing

Raw material in, higher value out.

Takeaway. Manufacturing adds value.

Takeaway. Each depends on the other.

Competing in a Globalised World

Enough is not enough.

**Self-sufficiency alone is not enough.** Indian goods must be **at par in quality** with the international market to compete.

Takeaway. Quality decides competitiveness.

Agro Based and Mineral Based

From the farm or from the mine.

Takeaway. The raw material decides the group.

Basic and Consumer Industries

Feeds industry, or feeds people?

Cotton's Many Links

One industry feeds many.

Cotton textiles give a living to **farmers, boll pluckers** and workers in **ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing, designing, packaging, tailoring and sewing**.

Takeaway. Close links with agriculture and other industries.

India's Jute Industry

Largest producer, second exporter.

India **leads the world in producing raw jute and jute goods**, and ranks **second exporter after Bangladesh**.

Takeaway. Jute clings to the Hugli.

Why the Hugli Basin

Six reasons for one river.

Takeaway. Raw material, water, labour and a port city.

Jute After Partition

Takeaway. Mills without enough fields.

The Sugar Industry

Second in sugar, first in gur.

India is **second** in world sugar and **first in gur and khandsari**. **Sixty per cent** of mills are in **Uttar Pradesh and Bihar**.

Takeaway. Sugar follows the cane.

Sugar Shifts South and West

Three reasons to move.

Takeaway. Better cane, longer season, stronger cooperatives.

Why Sugar Suits Cooperatives

Mills that run half the year.

The sugar industry is **seasonal**, running only when cane is harvested.

Takeaway. Seasonal work, shared ownership.

Cotton Textile Map Items

Takeaway. My Sister Is Knitting Cotton.

Mineral-Based Industries

From the mine, not the farm.

Takeaway. Iron and steel leads the group.

Takeaway. Machines for every factory start as steel.

What Steel Is Used For

Steel is everywhere.

Takeaway. Steel reaches every sector.

An Index of Development

Measure a nation by its steel.

How much steel a country **makes and uses** is often taken as **the measure of how developed it is**.

Takeaway. More steel, more development.

Why It Is a Heavy Industry

Heavy in, heavy out.

**All the raw materials and finished goods are heavy and bulky**, so **transport costs are heavy**.

Takeaway. Weight shapes where steel is made.

The Raw Material Ratio

Four, two, one.

Takeaway. Iron ore is the biggest input by far.

Inside the Blast Furnace

Ore melts, slag leaves.

Takeaway. Coke heats, limestone cleans.

After the Blast Furnace

From pigs to steel sheets.

Takeaway. Purify, then shape.

Where Should a Plant Go?
