RAS question

Which national park in Rajasthan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site?

Correct answer: (B) Keoladeo Ghana.

Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, is the national park in Rajasthan that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  1. (A)

    Mukundra Hills

  2. (B)

    Keoladeo Ghana

  3. (C)

    Desert National Park

  4. (D)

    Ranthambore

Explanation

Keoladeo Ghana National Park is the right answer because the official Ministry of Culture page identifies Keoladeo National Park, located in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This directly matches the question's requirement: a national park in Rajasthan with UNESCO World Heritage status. The exam-relevant date is 1985, and the reason usually tested in RAS questions is its avian diversity. The Ministry of Culture, Government of India describes the park as celebrated for rich avian biodiversity and as an important breeding and wintering ground for migratory birds in India. So the key memory link is Bharatpur, Keoladeo Ghana, UNESCO World Heritage Site, 1985, avian diversity.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Mukundra Hills is a national park in Rajasthan, but it is not identified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site here.
  • (C) Desert National Park is in Rajasthan, but it is not the UNESCO-listed national park asked for here.
  • (D) Ranthambore is a major Rajasthan national park, but it is not marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site here.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan geography through protected areas and UNESCO recognition. It recurs in RAS because parks, locations, conservation tags and biodiversity-based distinctions are standard factual anchors in state geography.
