61(17), Apr 25, 2026: p.23-26 While much is expected of industry-led growth, many factors hinder the industrialisation of the workforce.

Innovation may hold the key, providing prospects for both growth and employment generation.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/17/commentary/industrialisation-workforce.html Economic & Political Weekly 260522
