Principles of appropriate technology


1.      Work place has to b created in the areas where people are living and not in metropolitan areas where people tend to migrate.
2.   These work place must be, on average, cheap enough so that they can be created large numbers without calling for unattainable level of capital formation and imports.
3.     The production methods employed must be relatively simple so that demands for high skills are minimized not only on th production process itself but also in matters of organization, raw materials supply, financing marketing and so forth.
4.     The production should be mainly from local materials and mainly for local use.
