mills having spinning weaving machine. Before partition it there was a steady
growth in this sector and the people saw an increase of number of mills, from
24 in 1884 to 76 by 1919.

was all going great, until the partition. Mainly the jute manufacturing was set
up in West Bengal before partition; then Bangladesh. But, soon after the partition

industry and making lives better.
