Question

i. Give two reasons why the woollen industry is not a flourishing industry in India.
ii. Name two centres for this industry.

Answer 1

• Two reasons why the woollen industry is not a flourishing industry in India are:
  
• 1. India is a tropical country and woollen clothes are required only in Northern India during the winter season. So, the demand is less.
  
• 2. Because the wool produced in India is not of high quality, it needs to be imported from abroad.
  
• Two centres of this industry are Ludhiana and Kanpur.
