Question

Give two suggestions for the growth of cotton textile in India.

Answer 1

Hint: One of mankind’s great discoveries, cotton is one commodity that is available everywhere - acting both to its utility, as well as the magnificent impact capitalism, has had on human production and consumption. Cotton production in India has focused on textiles for over thousands of years, generating notable employment for both skilled and unskilled labour - thus helping to improve the Indian economy.

Complete solution:
1. There are 1,719 textile mills in the country, out of which 188 mills are in the public sector, 147 in the cooperative sector and 1,384 in the private sector. Apart from them, there are a lot of small factories comprising 5 to 10 looms.

2. The power loom sector plays an important role in meeting the clothing needs of our country. The increasing cotton textile industries generate more employment opportunities for low skilled labour in India. This sector not only contributes notably to the cloth production in the country but also provides employment to millions of people in India.

3. Several factors contribute to the cause including the availability of raw cotton and market transport. They play a key role in the localisation of the cotton textile industry.

4. Mumbai is a city near Maharashtra and Gujarat's cotton-producing area and it has contributed a lot in the localisation of cotton textile industries. Also, cotton does not lose much of its weight in the process of manufacturing and there's only a slight loss in weight, more of which is compensated by the use of sizing materials.

Note:
Cotton is mankind's greatest discovery and has a magnificent impact on capitalism. It is the natural fabric used to make t-shirts, bedsheets etc. It is worn in summer and is very effective.
