Which district is not related to Ganga Udwah Yojana (1st phase) for drinking water?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) Navada

Explanation:

• Navada (Nawada) was not included in the first phase of the Ganga Jal Udwah Yojana (Ganga Water Lift Project).
• The first phase primarily focused on supplying drinking water to Gaya, Bodhgaya, and Rajgir (which falls under Nalanda district). Nawada was targeted for the second phase.

Information Booster:

• The Ganga Jal Udwah Yojana is an ambitious project of the Bihar Government to convert floodwater into safe drinking water for water-scarce regions in South Bihar.
• It involves lifting excess floodwater from the Ganga River at Mokama and transferring it through pipelines to reservoirs in Rajgir and Gaya.

Additional Knowledge:

Nalanda (Option b)

• Nalanda is related, as Rajgir, a major beneficiary town, is located in the Nalanda district.

Rajgir (Option c)

• Rajgir is one of the primary destinations for the first phase of the water supply project.

Gaya (Option d)

• Gaya, along with Bodhgaya, was prominently included in the first phase to solve its acute drinking water crisis.

None of the above/More than one of the above (Option e)

• Incorrect, as Nawada explicitly distinguishes itself by being excluded from Phase 1.

So the correct answer is (a)
