Which of the following industrial towns was developed during the pre-independence era?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Jamshedpur
Bhilai, Rourkela and Durgapur are among the many new industrial towns that emerged in India in the years after Independence, when the development of heavy and machine-making industries and the expansion of the public sector were considered very important. Jamshedpur does not belong to this group of post-Independence towns, so it is the town that answers the question about the pre-independence era.
