Solution

As per the information given below, the correct answer is option D. Under the PM Mega Integrated Textiles and Apparel (PM Mitra) scheme, the Uttar Pradesh government signed an MoU with the Government of India at Lok Bhawan in Lucknow for the establishment of 1,000-acres-wide textile parks in Lucknow and Hardoi districts. Expressing gratitude to the Prime Minister for choosing UP under the centre's ambitious PM Mega Integrated Textiles and Apparel (PM Mitra) scheme, Yogi said, "This move is a step towards re-establishing the UP's ancient glory and towards making the state the 'new textile hub' of the country." Stating that despite having a rich history, districts like Kanpur lost their sheen in the textile industry, with factories shutting down one after the other while handloom and powerlooms industries kept collapsing, the Chief Minister said that in the last six years, however, things have changed with UP being one of the biggest beneficiaries of PM Modi's vision.
