Question

Most of the jute mills are concentrated in ____________.
A. Hooghly basin
B. Damodar basin
C. Ganga basin
D. Krishna basin

Answer 1

Hint: A jute mill is a factory for the dispensation of jute. The initial jute mill was recognized in Dundee, Scotland. The world's prime jute mill was the Adamjee Jute Mills at Narayanganj in Bangladesh. It shut down all processes during 2002.

Complete answer:The Hooghly River or the Bhāgirathi-Hooghly is also known as Ganga, once in the past called Kati-Ganga, is a 260-kilometer-long distributary of the Ganges River in West Bengal, India. The Ganges cracks into the Padma and the Hooghly close by Giria, Murshidabad. Today, there is an additional man-made divergence of the river upriver at Farakka. The Padma streams eastward into Bangladesh, however the Hooghly streams south through West Bengal. The river streams over the Rarh region, the subordinate deltaic districts of West Bengal, and ultimately into the Bay of Bengal. Most of the jute mills are situated alongside the banks of river Hugli because:
1. Raw material- West Bengal and Orissa are one of the key jute manufacturing states of India. The temperature, soil, and accessibility of water there are idyllic for its progress. Hence, the raw material is obtainable without difficulty.
2. Transport- A decent system of roadways and railways is existing along with low-priced waterways. This makes transport of jute very laid-back.
3. Labour- Cheap labor is promptly accessible to the businesses from West Bengal, Orissa, and Bihar.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note:The Bhāgirathi-Hooghly river system is indispensable sustenance for the people of West Bengal. This river was used by the East India company to cruise into Bengal and establish their trade settlement, Calcutta, the capital of British India. People from different nations such as the French, Dutch, Portuguese, etc. all had their trade settlements by the banks of this river.
