RAS question
In which state did PM Modi lay the foundation stone of the PM MITRA Textile Park at Bhainsola village in Dhar district?
Correct answer: (C) Madhya Pradesh.
PM Modi laid the foundation stone of the PM MITRA Textile Park at Bhainsola village in Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh.
Explanation
The location is Madhya Pradesh. The official PMO release covers development works in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, where PM Modi laid the foundation stone and inaugurated development works. Within that programme, the PM MITRA Park in Dhar is part of the textile-sector push under the 5F vision, bringing the textile value chain into one integrated facility. Bhainsola village is in Dhar district. PM MITRA stands for Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel, and the park is expected to create nearly 3 lakh jobs; the PMO notes that it will generate nearly 3 lakh employment opportunities.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Gujarat is wrong because the PMO release places the Dhar PM MITRA Park event in Madhya Pradesh, not Gujarat.
- (B) Maharashtra is wrong because Dhar district is in Madhya Pradesh.
- (D) Rajasthan is wrong because Dhar district and the PM MITRA Park foundation stone event are connected to Madhya Pradesh, not Rajasthan.
Concept
This tests industrial policy and location-based current affairs, especially flagship schemes tied to manufacturing and employment. RAS repeats such items because state, district and scheme mapping is a standard way to test economic-development news.
