divisions : one division believes in cottage industries solely on a cooperative basis ; the other division believes that there should be cottage industries without any such limitation. In order to satisfy both sides. I have used this phraseology deliberately, which, I am sure, will satisfy both views that have been expressed.

Shri M. Ananthasayanam Ayyangar : (Madras : General) : I do not want to speak.

Mr. Vice-President : I think we have discussed this matter sufficiently. We shall pass on to the actual voting.

Shri Mahavir Tyagi : In the hope that this will all be done on the basis of self-sufficiency, I accept the amendment to my amendment as finally proposed by Dr. Ambedkar and in that case I shall have to withdraw mine.

The amendment was, by leave of the Assembly, withdrawn.

Shri Amiyo Kumar Ghosh : Sir, I want to know whether ‘agricultural workers’ have been included or not.

Mr. Vice-President: It has not been included but I am quite prepared to go back on my ruling provided the House as a whole, without any dissention, accepts the suggestion of Dr. Ambedkar.

Honourable Members : Yes.

Mr. Vice-President : Then I shall put the amendment of Shri Ramalingam Chettiar as amended by Dr. Ambedkar to the vote.

The amendment, as amended, was adopted.

The amendment, as further modified by Mr. Nagappa was adopted.

Article 34, as amended, was added to the Constitution.
