Practice questions

Q1Indira Gandhi Nahar Project is better known as the lifeline of which region? Choose the most appropriate option from the following.

A Western Rajasthan
B Eastern Rajasthan
C Northern Rajasthan
D Southern Rajasthan
Explanation

Indira Gandhi Nahar Project is called the lifeline of Western Rajasthan because it carries canal water into the arid districts of the Thar region, supporting drinking water, irrigation and settlement. Eastern Rajasthan has comparatively better rainfall and a different river system, so the phrase is not attached to it. Northern Rajasthan benefits in parts, but the standard description refers to the western desert belt. Southern Rajasthan has the Aravalli and tribal upland context, not the IGNP lifeline identity.

Q2Which of the following is not a proposed beneficiary district of the Indira Gandhi Nahar Project?

A Pali
B Sikar
C Nagaur
D Jodhpur
Explanation

The Indira Gandhi Nahar Project is designed to benefit arid and semi-arid parts of western and north-western Rajasthan. In the beneficiary-district set used here, Sikar, Nagaur and Jodhpur are treated as proposed beneficiary districts, while Pali is not included. The wording asks for the district that is not a proposed beneficiary, so the answer is Pali.
