Which Indian state has embarked upon ‘Sujalam Sufalam Jal Sanchay Abhiyan’ for scientific water management?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Gujarat
The Sujalam Sufalam Jal Sanchay Abhiyan is a water conservation campaign of the Government of Gujarat, first run in 2018. Before each monsoon, ponds, lakes and check dams are deepened and reservoirs and canals desilted, with the help of local people, so that more rainwater is stored and the groundwater is recharged.
Note: This ‘current affairs’ question is about a campaign launched in 2018, eight years before this May 2026 paper. The campaign has seen eight monsoons since then; NTA’s question bank has not seen one.
