Thus, Appropriate Technology has a significant contribution to increase the sustainable development in several dimensions in a country.

In animal livestock rearing sector, it is useful to improve livestock, fodder supply, development of new fodder, and develop new areas such as poultry, fish culture and others. In the health sector, it is useful to improve the health of people through providing clean drinking water, sanitation and supply of low cost of food. In the energy sector, Appropriate Technology is helpful to create renewable energy sources like solar, wind, sun, water power, gobar gas and electricity from water and sun. In rural housing, Appropriate Technology is cooperative to design, construct and fabricate cheap and affordable houses in rural areas. Agricultural scientists have developed several technologies like biotechnology, high-tech protected, cultivated, nanotechnology and advance irrigation methods which are beneficial to increase agricultural productivity.

Whatsoever, family businesses represent majority of the businesses and a significant portion of the GDP in almost every country (Colli, 2003). In India, Family businesses play a major role in contributing to the economic landscape (Dutta, 1997; Kaushik & Dutta, 2012). The share of family firms in India account for two thirds of the nation’s GDP, contributes 90% of the gross industry output and generates 79% of organized private sector employment (KPMG, 2013) These firms vary widely in terms of their size, operations and generational involvement. Looking from a brighter side, it is found that, family controlled firms in India outperform the non-family controlled peers in terms of share price returns and overall market capitalisation and more than 50 percent of the top 30 best performing family controlled companies in Asia are from India (Credit Suisse, 2018). Contrastingly, family businesses in India also face multitude of challenges (Ramachandran & Bhatnagar, 2012). They suggest among others leadership and succession planning poses major challenge for several family businesses in India.
