Solution

The correct option is D Rishra
India’s first jute mill was set up at Rishra near Kolkata, in 1855. This helped process almost all the jute produced in the Bengal region. However, erstwhile Bengal was divided between India and Pakistan in 1947. Three-fourth of the jute producing areas went to East Pakistan or present-day Bangladesh, while the mills remained in India.
