Mohini mohon
Mohini Mohan Chakraborty (1245–1329 Bengali era) was a famed yarn merchant of India. Thanks to safe river transport and improved railway links, he took the initiative to set up a yarn mill beside Kushtia's big railway station. In 1908 he built Mohini Mill on 100 acres in the Millpara area, importing brass handloom machines and nearly 200 brass-made looms from distant England — one of the most modern yarn mills in India at the time, employing around 300 workers. Its yarn reached every province of India as well as Burma, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, making the historic Mohini Mill the economic engine of Kushtia.

Once Asia's largest heritage textile mill, Kushtia's Mohini Mill was famed far and wide for the broad economic current it generated at the international level. But today, amid so much development across the country, the people of Kushtia express sorrow when they look at the mill's pitiful condition. Many believe that if the Bangladesh government now takes proper initiative to recover the mill and bring it back into operation with new technology in the interest of the nation's industrial development, Mohini Mill may perhaps once again regain the heritage of its lost days.

Mohini Mohan Chakrabarty was a celebrated yarn trader of India. Because of safe river-borne travel and improved railway connections, he took the initiative to set up a yarn mill on land adjoining Kushtia's big station. In 1908 he built Mohini Mill on 100 acres of land in the Millpara area. At that time he imported brass handloom machines and about 200 looms made of brass from faraway England and installed them in his mill. Among the handful of modern yarn mills then working in different parts of India, Mohini Mill was one. Nearly 300 workers laboured there. The yarn produced at this mill went to all the provinces of India, as well as to Burma, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In those days Kushtia's heritage textile mill, Mohini Mill, was an economic driving force.

Cloth is one of humanity's basic rights. It was to protect people from heat, cold and shame that they built the textile industry. Hand-woven cloth once met this country's popular demand. In that era grew up the Bengali's proud craft of cotton cloth. In colonial times machine weaving arrived and seized that place. Mills and factories sprang up.

Kumarkhali in the Nadia of that era and in today's Kushtia district has at all times been known for a single, distinct identity of its own. From politics to the social order, from administrative arrangements to the cultural milieu, or from trade and commerce to the economic plane, in everything there was, as it were, a character distinguishing it from all other areas. Water transport was easy in Kumarkhali. Lying close to the bank of what was once Gauri, today's Gorai river, and again near the Padma's banks, it did not have to try hard to establish itself as an economic zone. In 1857 Kumarkhali was established as the first subdivision.
