Q1Which department is the nodal department for the Rajasthan Irrigation Water Grid Mission?
The Water Resources Department of the Government of Rajasthan is the mission's nodal department. The mission advances irrigation, river-linking, canal and runoff-water projects through detailed project reports, sanctions, tenders and phased construction; it is not an individual-beneficiary programme run by another department.

It is delivered as a direct cash transfer to individual farmers through a beneficiary portal. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: river linking, runoff-water conservation and canal systems form the mission's named framework. Statement 2 is incorrect because the mission finances capital works selected through detailed project reports, budget sanctions, tenders and construction; it has no individual farmer application or direct cash-transfer portal.
