Q95 (UPPCS/2022) Geography › Indian Economic Geography

Which one of the following Watershed Development Projects sponsored by the Central Government of India which aims at enabling the rural population to conserve the water ?

Explanation

Hariyali is a watershed development project sponsored by the Central Government of India. Its primary objective is to empower rural communities to conserve water for drinking, irrigation, fisheries, and afforestation. The project is implemented at the grassroots level by Gram Panchayats with technical assistance from the government. It emphasizes integrated watershed management to ensure sustainable water use and improve rural livelihoods. In contrast, Pani Sansad (Water Parliament) is typically a community-led initiative (such as the Arvari Pani Sansad in Rajasthan), and Jal Kranti Abhiyan is a broader national campaign launched later (2015-16) for water security. The specific phrasing of the question aligns directly with the description of the Hariyali project found in standard Indian geography textbooks (NCERT Class 12).
