Answer to be written in Exam
Unorganised Sector is the sector which includes all those working people who are not registered by the Government and they are not required or violate the rules and regulations set up by the government. Since, the rules and regulations in this sector can be easily manipulated , the employees of this sector are exploited in a lot of ways and the chances of them raising their voices against the exploiters are also very less as they can be fired without any notice and their source of earning bread will cease to exist.
Thus, they are in a dire need to be protected against these unlawful practices . Some of the ways in which they can be protected are -
- In urban areas , casual workers need government support for procuring raw material. If the government is able to help them, then they can procure raw materials at a cheaper cost which will increase their profit margins.
- Farmers also need to be supported through adequate facilities for timely delivery of seeds, agricultural inputs, credit, storage and marketing outlets. Farmers usually depend upon third - party landlords for these facilities and then they are exploited by them due to lack of support and resources .
- Small Scale industries can be set up in various parts of the country and they have to be supported by the government for procuring raw material and marketing of the goods.
