The Prime Minister announced a five-year excise duty holiday for industries in the earthquake-ravaged Kutch district in the year 2001.
This announcement was made in response to the devastating earthquake that struck the Kutch district of Gujarat, India, on January 26, 2001. The earthquake caused widespread destruction and loss of life in the region. To promote the revival and reconstruction of industries in the affected area, the Prime Minister declared a five-year excise duty holiday. This measure aimed to incentivize businesses to invest in the Kutch district and contribute to its recovery and development.
Therefore, the correct option is "earthquake ravaged Kutch district."
