Q81 (CAPF/2014) Geography › Indian Economic Geography › Energy and power projects Answer Verified

With reference to the various multipurpose projects in India, which one among the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Mayurakshi project is not a joint venture of Odisha and West Bengal. It is a multipurpose project primarily serving West Bengal, with its catchment area and the Canada Dam (Massanjore Dam) located in Jharkhand [2]. The project provides irrigation and electricity to districts like Birbhum and Murshidabad in West Bengal and Santhal Pargana in Jharkhand [3]. In contrast, the Machkund project is a joint venture between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha [1]. The Parambikulam Aliyar project is an interstate venture between Kerala and Tamil Nadu [3]. The Chambal Valley project is a joint execution by Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, involving the Gandhi Sagar, Rana Pratap Sagar, and Jawahar Sagar dams [4]. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect as it misidentifies the participating states.
