Practice questions
Q1Where and when was the original Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan launched?
The original campaign was launched on 27 January 2016 from Gardan Kheri village in Jhalawar district by the then Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. The later dates, 9 December 2016 and 12 December 2017, relate to Phases 2 and 3 respectively and therefore cannot be the initial launch date.
Q2Assertion (A): Gram Sabha-level water budgeting is a distinguishing planning feature of Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan. Reason (R): Drinking water, irrigation, livestock and local commercial water needs are assessed before works are prioritised in the village action plan. Select the correct answer:
Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion. The village does not begin by selecting structures in isolation. It first assesses water demand for drinking, irrigation, livestock and local commercial use through Gram Sabha-level budgeting; that assessment then determines priorities in the village action plan. This needs-first link is precisely what makes water budgeting distinctive.
Q3Consider the following statements about Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan 2.0: 1. It was announced with an outlay of about ₹11,200 crore for 4 years to build 5 lakh water-harvesting structures in 20,000 villages. 2. Its first phase proposed 1,10,000 works in more than 5,000 villages with about ₹3,500 crore. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. The 2024-25 budget announcement provided about ₹11,200 crore over 4 years for 5 lakh water-harvesting structures in 20,000 villages. Within that broader design, the first phase proposed 1,10,000 works in more than 5,000 villages at about ₹3,500 crore. The second statement is therefore a component of, not a contradiction to, the first.
Q4Which description most accurately identifies the basic nature of Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan?
Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan is an area-development and natural-resource-management programme. It captures local rainfall, recharges groundwater, conserves soil moisture and revives water bodies so that villages become water self-reliant. These features distinguish it from cash transfers, urban connection subsidies and crop insurance.
Q5How many of the following are components of the Four Waters concept used in Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan? 1. Rainwater 2. Surface water 3. Groundwater 4. In-situ soil moisture 5. Desalinated seawater
Four components are included: rainwater, surface water, groundwater and in-situ soil moisture. The campaign manages these through catchment treatment, renovation of existing structures and creation of new water-harvesting works from ridge to valley. Desalinated seawater has no place in this village watershed framework, so the correct count is 4.
