Introduction
Assam is situated at the North-eastern Himalayan Sub-region of India. In spite of having huge development potential, the economy of Assam remained underdeveloped as it is characterized by poverty, under-utillised man power and untapped natural resources. The economy of the state is depending too much on agriculture. In Assam, cultivators and agricultural labourers together account for 64.0 percent of the total working population, whereas workers of manufacturing other household industries constitute only 2.8 percent of the total worker of the state.
Assam is one of the industrially backward states of the country. In spite of being blessed with a high potential for development of resource-based and demand-based industries in the state, the pace of industrialization in Assam had not been satisfactory. The industrial sector in the state had been centralized around some particular sectors, like tea, petroleum, coal, jute and forests.
Industries in Assam can be broadly classified into four heads :
(a) Agro-based industry,
(b) Mineral-based industry,
(c) Forest-based industry, and
(d) Other industries.
Agro-based industries of Assam include-Tea industry, Sugar industry, Grain mill products industry-(Rice, Oil and Flour Mill), Food processing industry and Textile industry.
Mineral-based industries of Assam includes-Railway workshop,

The purpose of the policy was to co-ordinate investment decisions both in the public and the private sectors and to seize the ‘commanding heights’ of the economy by bringing certain strategic industries and firms under public ownership. This classical state-directed industrialisation model held sway for three decades, from 1950-1980. The model began to erode in the 1980s. Following a serious external liquidity crisis in 1991 the model was fundamentally changed.…

    Even after 30 years of Left Front rule in West Bengal, the state has lagged behind in a few economic indicators, this, despite better performance in agriculture. Agricultural growth rates have however declined in the last decade or so, the reasons for which have been elaborated upon.

    In this paper, we have tried to analyze the impact of environmental regulation on the production and the quality status of manufacturing industries across Indian states. This is done to discern the effect of environmental regulation on the competitiveness of the industries across Indian states. Using Ordinary Least Squares we check for the impact of investment in pollution control and status of environmental regulation on the production of manufacturing across Indian states, thereafter, we check for the impact of these variables on the acquisition of quality status certification by the manufacturing units. The quality status certificate considered for the purpose is the ISO9000 certificate which is given to those factories, which take up all round measures in their industrial projects for quality maintenance. We have used the state-wise ASI 1997-1998 which gives the data for investment in pollution control as well as the data for ISO9000 certified units for the Indian states. Percentage of factories taken up pollution abatement facilities, percentage of capital investment of the total capital investment for pollution control and percentage of running expense of the total running expense for pollution control is used to construct a dummy variable which indicates the status of environmental regulation in a state. The OLS regression results reveal that investment in pollution control negatively affects the production of manufacturing but positively contributes to the acquisition of quality status certification by the manufacturing units in the states. Moreover, states with effective environmental…
