Question

Briefly explain any two factors that have favoured the growth of the Chota Nagpur Industrial region.

Answer 1

1. This region has abundant high-quality raw materials such as iron ore, coal, bauxite, jute, indigo, and tea located nearby. Iron ore is available at a low cost, and the presence of important minerals like copper, nickel, and manganese has encouraged the development of the Chota Nagpur industrial region in India.
2. The availability of inexpensive labour and good export facilities has contributed to the growth of the Chota Nagpur Industrial Region. The region has a large workforce ready to work for low wages.
