Where was the first jute mill in India established?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Rishra.
The first jute mill in India was established in 1855 at Rishra, near Kolkata. This was the first attempt to mechanize the jute manufacturing process in India, and it marked a significant step in the industrialization of the region. The jute mill at Rishra was set up by George Acland, who brought jute spinning machinery from Dundee, Scotland. Assisted by an experienced jute machinist, William Fergusson, Acland set up the machinery at Rishra on the banks of the Hooghly River.
