Importance of Cottage Industries

Cottage industries  are simple and small  industries. We  need  many  things  in our  everyday   life.  We have  to wear. We  need  soap.  We need  copies. We  need  matches to make  fire.  All  these things  are the  products of cottage industries.
 We have  have some  popular  cottage  industries . They are Palpali Dhaka,  Karuwa of Tansen, Bhojpure Khukuri  etc.  Nepali paper is also  a popular  product of cottage industries.
 Cottage industries are very  much  important for  the  development of country. They  can be set up  with  a small amount  of money  in a small  area.  They can  be set up  in every  village.  We can  provide  employment  for the people  of villages. Most  People   in the  villages can  use  their  leisure time  in the  industries.
 We can  use our  bamboo, straw, as  materials from  our  forests and produce  paper, scent,  soap, matches etc.  In the same way,  we can  use our cheap soil to  make posts.  We  can develop our art   and  handicrafts. These are some disadvantages. These products may be tittle expensive, we may not  get  a big market and will  have to be satisfied at a little profit. But we  can be using  the idle time and our energy which is  running for no use.
