The correct answer is: b) Small and medium-scale enterprises.
Bihar’s industrial sector is primarily dominated by small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs). SMEs account for over 90% of the total number of enterprises in the state and employ over 70% of the workforce. The state government has been promoting the development of SMEs through a number of initiatives, including providing financial assistance, training and infrastructure support.
Large-scale, heavy industries are not as common in Bihar as they are in other states. This is due to a number of factors, including the state’s lack of natural resources, its poor infrastructure and its relatively low level of economic development.
High-tech manufacturing is also not a major sector in Bihar. The state does not have a strong base of skilled workers or research and development facilities. As a result, there are few opportunities for high-tech manufacturing in the state.
Export-oriented industries are also not as common in Bihar as they are in other states. This is due to a number of factors, including the state’s poor infrastructure, its lack of access to international markets and its relatively low level of economic development.
In recent years, the state government has been making efforts to promote the development of all sectors of the economy, including the industrial sector. However, it is likely that SMEs will continue to play a dominant role in the state’s industrial sector for the foreseeable future.
