Explanation:

Self-help and constructive work at the village level was envisaged as a means of bringing about the social and economic regeneration of the villages and of reaching the rural masses. This meant social reform and campaigns against evils such as caste oppression, early marriage, the dowry system, consumption of alcohol, etc.

The economic boycott movement seemed to be a suitable opportunity for reviving Indian small scale industries. The boycott of foreign goods led to the increase in demand of indigenous goods especially clothes which fell short of supply. The mill-owners of Bombay and Ahmadabad came to its rescue. The Boycott movement in Bengal supplied a momentum and driving force to the cotton mills in India and the opportunity thus presented was exploited by the mill-owners. The economic boycott movement seemed to be a suitable opportunity for reviving weaving industry. The clothes produce were accepted by the Bengalis in the true spirit of the Swadeshi Movement.

Further, J N Tata founded Tata Iron and Steel. Prafulla Chandra Roy set up Bengal Chemicals Factory. Aravindo Ghosh, Syed Haidar Raza and Bipin Chandra Pal took part in Swadeshi.
