How could education affect industrial development? Discuss in the class.

With the development of industries in India, the British government introduced many laws and regulations. Most of these were in favor of their own government. The Indian Industrialist suffered a lot because their demands and requirements were not focused upon. For example, the need for Railway, road, coal, and iron was completely ignored by the British government. During this period, education played a very important role. The Indian Industrialist required the help of scientists, engineers, and technicians. In fact, educated workers were required at every level of the industrial work. Sadly, the British government did not give any importance to the education sector in our country. So the Indian Industrialist had to rely on the abilities of the foreigners because of the shortage of skilled personnel in India. So education played a very important role in industrial development.
