RAS question

Sultanpur National Park Ramsar site is located in:

Correct answer: (B) Haryana.

Sultanpur National Park Ramsar site is located in Gurugram, Haryana, India.

  1. (A)

    Odisha

  2. (B)

    Haryana

  3. (C)

    Manipur

  4. (D)

    Rajasthan

Explanation

Sultanpur National Park is a Ramsar site in Haryana, not merely a similarly named protected area elsewhere. The official Ramsar Sites Information Service page lists the site as Sultanpur National Park, places its administrative region in Gurugram, Haryana, and gives 25-05-2021 as its designation date. The correct state is Haryana. The exam-relevant frame is that Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, 1971, and India has more than 80 such sites. For RAS, the key is to connect the named wetland or national park with its state, because Ramsar locations are frequently tested as direct map-and-environment facts.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Odisha is wrong because the official Ramsar record places Sultanpur National Park in the administrative region of Gurugram, Haryana.
  • (C) Manipur is wrong because the Ramsar Sites Information Service identifies Sultanpur National Park with Haryana, not a north-eastern state.
  • (D) Rajasthan is wrong because the official Ramsar record places Sultanpur National Park in Gurugram, Haryana.

Concept

This tests Ramsar-site geography within Environment and Ecology: candidates must match a wetland or protected-area name with its state. It recurs in RAS because Ramsar designations combine environment conventions with map-based location recall.
