Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

The major concerns of the Jute Textile industry are:

• After Partition (1947), three-fourths of the jute-producing area went to Bangladesh, causing a shortage of raw material.
• The industry faces stiff competition from synthetic substitutes and other countries like Bangladesh in the export market.

The question asks for major concerns, so focus on the two key problems mentioned in the textbook: the post-Partition loss of raw jute areas to Bangladesh, and competition in export markets. Examiners expect at least two distinct points for 2 marks. Avoid writing about locational factors — those are advantages, not concerns.
