RAS question

Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is in which district?

Correct answer: (B) Dholpur.

Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Dholpur district of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Bharatpur

  2. (B)

    Dholpur

  3. (C)

    Alwar

  4. (D)

    Jaipur

Explanation

Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is in Dholpur district. The official notification from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change places it in Dholpur district of Rajasthan, along the Chambal ravines. The Chambal ravines are a useful location clue because the sanctuary is associated with Dholpur's Chambal landscape. The notification lists nilgai and Indian wild boar among its prominent fauna; sambhar and chital are also found there. For RAS preparation, remember the district-sanctuary pairing: Kesarbagh belongs with Dholpur, not Bharatpur, Alwar, or Jaipur.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Bharatpur is associated with Keoladeo, whereas Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is in Dholpur district.
  • (C) Alwar is associated with Sariska, whereas Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is in Dholpur district.
  • (D) Jaipur is associated with Nahargarh, whereas Kesarbagh Wildlife Sanctuary is in Dholpur district.

Concept

This question tests your ability to match Rajasthan's wildlife sanctuaries with their districts. Such pairs recur in RAS geography because they are concise factual points and can be tested through easily confused options.
