Abstract

Rural industrialization or establishing industries in rural area as an important and most prevalent procedure for non agricultural economic development is discussed in this article. Lack of main agricultural production parameters like water resource, rich and suitable soil, in these areas, in spite of plenty of manpower, directs the situation to day by day immigration rate from rural areas. Industries in the rural areas that have low agricultural potential level, may act as an effective tool for avoiding immigration, keeping them in their homes, and improving diverse social and economic lifestyle indices such as employment, income, level of health and education and access to sanitary facilities. The results of the research clarify a positive correlation between rural industrialization process and life welfare indices improvement in rural areas. Unwanted industrialization impacts and also second immigration wave because of their economic capability must also be considered.
