Which district in Rajasthan is known as the 'Textile City of India' and contributes significantly to the state's cotton and fabric production?

A

Jaipur

B

Pali

C

Bhilwara

D

Balotra

Correct Answer:

(C) Bhilwara

Explanation:

Bhilwara is widely recognised as the 'Textile City of India' due to its large-scale production of synthetic fabrics, polyester-viscose blended yarn, and cotton textiles. The city hosts numerous spinning, weaving, and dyeing units and exports to markets including the USA and Europe. Other Rajasthan textile cities — Pali (dyeing/printing), Balotra (hand-block printing), and Jaipur (traditional handicrafts) — are notable but do not match Bhilwara's industrial scale.
