(ii) Development of primary and secondary sectors: The development of agriculture and industry leads to the development of services such as transport, trade and storage.

(b) In the unorganised sector, mostly landless agricultural labourers, small and marginal farmers, and artisans are included. These workers can be protected in the following ways:

(ii) Small-scale industries also need support for procuring raw materials and marketing of output.
(iii) The casual workers in both rural and urban areas need to be protected. Protection and support to these unorganised workers is necessary for both economic and social development.
