The deployment of man power in manufacturing processes was limited to a few select industries such as jute, textile, chemicals etc.

The legislation on creation and development of a ful proof multi-dimensional Social Security system, when the country's economy was in a very fledgling state was obviously a remarkable gesture towards the socio economic amelioration of a workface though limited in number and geographic distribution. India, not with standing, thus, took the lead in providing organized social protection to the working class through statutory provisions.
