Which of these is the small-scale industry in India? [#2483]

In India, small-scale industries (SSIs) are typically characterized by lower capital investment, localized operations, and often labor-intensive production methods. Among the given options, the Handloom Industry most closely aligns with this definition. It consists of highly decentralized units where skilled artisans manually weave fabrics, contrasting sharply with the large-scale, capital-intensive operations of the Jute, Paper, and broader Textile industries which often involve significant machinery and factory-based production. The handloom sector, despite its large overall employment, operates on a very small unit-by-unit basis.
