Accordingly, we visualise production to take place not only in the big mills owned either by the State or by the big capitalist but also in cottage industries and small scale industries Many attempts made on behalf of the local industrialists to manufacture matches, but they could not withstand the competition. One of the weapons in the hands of those big monopoly companies is to use the trade mark to browbeat these manufacturers and harass them. This is not the only measure to curb these big monopolists, these foreign monopolists. We should see that this particular trade mark does not become a weapons in the hands of those big mooplists to browbeat the small industrialists. Sir, that devoted follower of Gandhiji and the present member of the All India Khadi and village Industries Board, Shri Satish Das Gupta, has brought out in his brochure, which I think was circulated to all the Member of Parliament, as to how these big monopolists are endangering the very existence of small industries and that too, especially of the hand-made and cottage industries. The Dhebar Commission has to be congratulated for the elaborate report it had written and its approach to the subject of tribal welfare. It is necessary for me to direct the attention of the Ministry to be fact that there is a great difference questions affecting the Scheduled Castes and the Tribes, The case of Scheduled. Tribes is a "peculiar" one. They have peculair modes of living. They have peculiar ways and means of carrying on their trade. I am saying this specifically for the industry because people were talking about job losses. What happened in the industrial sector? Due to global meltdown, what has happened in India? We have lost exports. The IT sector, which was booming, has lost exports. But what about local industries and local consumption? It has not come down. Export-oriented jobs have been lost. I know this personally because I am near to Tiruppur. Tiruppur is only 40 kilometres from Coimbatore. From Tiruppur, garment export was to the tune of Rs. 6,000 crore.
