Haryana GK Questions 2026

The land in Bhiwani, Charkhi Dadri, Mahendragarh and Rewari rises above the level of the main canals, so water has to be pumped to it in stages.

These western districts lie outside the command of the Yamuna canals, so their supply comes from the Sutlej through the Bhakra Nangal works: the Bhakra Main Line and the Narwana branch carry it into Hisar, Fatehabad, Sirsa and parts of Jind and Bhiwani, and it is this water that turned…

In check or check basin irrigation the field is levelled and divided into small rectangular plots, each enclosed by low bunds or levees, and water is let into one plot at a time until the required depth stands in it.

A sprinkler breaks water into drops and spreads it like rain, so the field does not have to be levelled and no flowing sheet of water is needed.

The agreement signed in 1981 between Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan reallocated the surplus Ravi and Beas waters, and Haryana's share was fixed at roughly 3.5 million acre feet, to be carried by the proposed Sutlej Yamuna Link canal.

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi laid the foundation stone of the canal in 1982 at Kapoori in Patiala district, after the 1981 agreement between Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan on the sharing of the Ravi and Beas waters.

Both canals are headed at the Okhla barrage on the Yamuna below Delhi.

The Delhi sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq had a canal cut from the Yamuna in the fourteenth century to carry water westwards towards Hisar, where he founded Hisar Firoza, and that channel is the ancestor of today's Western Yamuna Canal.

The barrage was built on the Yamuna in Yamunanagar district a short distance upstream of the old Tajewala headworks and was commissioned in 1999.

Ambala lies in the north-eastern corner of Haryana, inside the command of the canals drawn from the Yamuna system, and its fields are watered mainly by that flow supply rather than by any other source; the Dadupur head on the Western Yamuna Canal was built to carry water into this…

Hisardale was bred at Hisar in Haryana to get finer wool from animals that could still live in the hot dry plains, so the hardy local Nali ewes of the Bikaner side were crossed with Merino rams, the standard fine wool breed of the world.

Vita is the brand under which it sells milk, ghee, butter, paneer, curd and sweets, and the milk behind the brand is gathered on the three tier Anand pattern: village societies collect it, district unions pool it and the federation processes and markets it through plants at Jind, Rohtak, Ambala…

The National Dairy Research Institute at Karnal is the premier dairy research body of the country, working on milk production, processing and animal reproduction, and the first cloned buffalo calf of India was produced in its laboratories.

The buffalo research institute was set up at Hisar because the town sits in the Murrah tract and already had the agricultural university and a very large government livestock farm, so breeding stock and expertise were at hand.

The breed takes its name from the region and is the classic dual purpose cattle of the state: white or light grey, with a long narrow face, a small hump and strong legs, giving a useful quantity of milk and bullocks once prized for ploughing and carting.

The Murrah is the buffalo of Rohtak, Jind, Hisar and Bhiwani, jet black and heavy bodied with short, tightly curled horns, and it yields more milk and richer milk than any other buffalo breed of India.

The correct answer, as marked in the paper, is D, Kankrej. The Kankrej of the Kutch and Banaskantha country is rated the best of the Indian dual purpose cattle breeds: it is the largest and heaviest of them, its bullocks have the fastest and most enduring gait of any Indian…

The Merino, of Spanish origin and now reared in large numbers in Australia, is the standard fine wool sheep of the world, its fleece being soft, dense and of very small fibre diameter.

The corrected lactometer reading, written CLR, is the figure read on the neck of a lactometer floating in milk, and the specific gravity is obtained from it by the simple relation one plus the reading divided by one thousand.

In the Gerber test a measured quantity of milk is mixed with sulphuric acid and amyl alcohol in a butyrometer and spun in a centrifuge; the acid digests everything but the fat, which rises into the graduated neck of the tube and is read off directly as a percentage.
