Discuss the factors for localisation of agro-based food processing industries of North-West India. (10 Marks)

Mentor’s comment

  • The question is straight forward. It plainly asks about the factors that resulted in the localisation of the industries in the specific region of the country.
  • In the intro, briefly explain with the percentage figures how the agro-based processing industries are localised in North-West India.
  • In the body, state and explain each factor which contributed to the localisation of industries in the specific regions. The factors could be- availability of raw material, infrastructure, cheap labour, the proximity of market, reliable supply of electricity, road and rail network etc.
  • Conclude by stating how the combination of the stated factors in that specific region benefited it.

      Good use of a small diagram.
      The content in the main body is fine.
      It covers all the major arguments.
      Could discuss some challenges in the end before ending the answer.
      The language is decent.
      Well attempted answer

      You have not mentioned the NORTHWEST in the intro and instead started discussing the main factor directly. You have to link the demand of the question in the intro to make them relevant. Otherwise, the examiner will not understand what main factors are you discussing.
      The coverage is decent.
      Could keep the bullet points on a lower side in terms of explanations.
      The language is fine.
      Good conclusion.

      Before discussing the factors responsible for their locations in NW India, you have to give brie insight into the agro-based food processing industries in NW India. Give some examples or data to show how their presence in the region is better when compared to the rest of India.
      The rest of the answer is fine.
      Good main body of the answer.
      The content is well placed and well discussed.
      The overall depth is fine.
      Good conclusion.
      Nothing wrong in the main body of the answer

      Perfect use of the diagram.
      The balance in the answer is right.
      The content placed in both parts is fine and well discussed.
      The explanation is short and crisp.
      Good that you discussed the issues/challenges in the 2nd part. That lends credence to your overall content.
      The attempt is fine

      What are those supportive policy initiatives that the Government should take? When mentioning the way forward, be specific. Give concrete points rather than giving vague suggestions. We all know that the government should bring supportive policy initiatives. But what they should be?
      The main body of the answer is fine.
      The brief discussion on the challenges in the 2nd part of the answer is well handled.
      Overall the main body of the answer is well handled.
