Industrialisation of our country has great impact on the economy and enhancement of living standard of people. With growth of demand in every sector, there is need for consistent growth in production of goods coupled with new technologies required to meet the demand. From the economic point of view such growth is a very positive sign for a prosperous nation, but at the same time growth without considering the environmental impact of it may pose as a deterrent to further progress.

Synergy between traditional, local knowledge and the advanced researches on science and technology can play a very crucial role.
