What is the primary objective of the 'PM-MITRA' (Pradhan Mantri Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel) scheme?
A. To develop world-class industrial infrastructure for the entire textile value chain from spinning to garments in one location.✓ Correct Answer
B. To provide direct cash support to handloom weavers for purchasing raw silk and cotton.
C. To subsidize solar-powered looms for women entrepreneurs in rural districts.
D. To eliminate import tariffs on raw synthetic fibers entering domestic manufacturing units.
💡 Solution & Explanation
The PM-MITRA scheme seeks to establish mega integrated textile regions equipped with plug-and-play manufacturing infrastructure to reduce logistics costs and attract foreign direct investment into the Indian textile sector. Alternative choices focusing exclusively on raw silk or handloom cash subsidies describe entirely different ministry initiatives. This scheme aligns with the broader national goal of building resilient global supply chains through integrated industrial hubs.
