How many artificial recharge and storage structures have been constructed under the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari initiative?
- A.Over 55 lakh
- B.Over 1.55 crore
- C.Over 2.43 crore
- D.Over 3.55 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is over 1.55 crore. That is the total number of artificial recharge and storage structures built under the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari initiative taken as a whole. Within it, JSJB 1.0 alone saw more than 10 lakh groundwater recharge structures constructed, with over 27 lakh artificial recharge structures reported, which shows how the national total was reached. Option A, over 55 lakh, is far short of the figure and could tempt a candidate who confuses the part with the whole. Option C, over 2.43 crore, mixes up the number of structures with a different measure altogether: 2.43 billion cubic metres is the estimated groundwater recharge from the impact evaluation, not a count of structures. Option D, over 3.55 crore, overstates the achievement. Keep the two headline numbers apart in your notes, since question papers often swap one for the other.
