    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to speak on what I consider a very important Bill before this House; the Community Groups Registration Bill 2021. One of the fundamentals in society is to get organized socially, politically and economically. When you combine the three of them, socio-economic and political development, the country or community makes an advancement in that area of their interest. Sometimes, national revenue may not be adequate enough to support such groups. However, they can deliberately have seed funds to these kind of groups to transform them into very active entities. Sometimes, many people view development in different angles and dimensions. One of the most basic examples I have seen is the Indian example, the so-called cottage industries. These cottage industries are literally village cottage industries whose idea was by farmers who had a common identity and commodity, cotton. They came together to add value to this commodity to advance the development of the region or the village to a particular level. Therefore, they came with an identity of various looms and various fabrics that were considered to be a preserve of a particular State, whether it was a Kashmir State or Guajarat State, or for that matter the Bombay State. All these were meant to give an identity of the kind of crop and the cottage industry that was going to enhance the economic welfare as a village and a community."
