Rajasthan GK Questions 2026

The Luni rises in the Naga hills near Ajmer in the Aravalli, flows south-west through Pali, Jodhpur, Barmer and Jalore and loses itself in the marshes of the Rann of Kachchh in Gujarat.

The Aravalli was folded in Precambrian times, long before the Himalaya existed, and hundreds of millions of years of erosion have worn it down to a chain of residual hills whose rocks carry zinc, lead, copper and marble.

Guru Shikhar stands on Mount Abu in Sirohi district and, at 1,722 metres, is the highest point of the Aravalli Range and of Rajasthan.

The campaign is to be organised across all states from 22 October to 30 November 2026, and the minister asked state governments and the authorities concerned to take part actively so that it reaches farmers.

The scheme was designed for one hundred districts selected on three measures: low agricultural productivity, low cropping intensity and limited disbursement of agricultural credit.

The correct answer is Gaya in Bihar, which secured first position among the best-performing districts when the scheme completed its first year.

The Luni is the main river of western Rajasthan. It rises in the Naga hills near Ajmer, runs about 495 kilometres to the south-west through the Godwar belt and empties into the Rann of Kutch.

The Aravalli runs diagonally from the south-west to the north-east and splits Rajasthan into two unequal parts: roughly three-fifths of the state lies west of the range, in the sandy plain and the Thar, and about two-fifths lies to its east, in the plains and the plateau.

The south-eastern plateau of Rajasthan has two parts: the Vindhyan scarpland of sandstone and the Deccan lava plateau, which is the Malwa plateau of basalt continuing into Rajasthan.

Sambhar is the largest saline lake of Rajasthan and of India, lying in the inland drainage tract on the eastern edge of the desert, where the Mendha and the Rupangarh end their course.

The Great Boundary Fault runs along the Chambal valley in south-eastern Rajasthan and separates the Vindhyan rocks of the Hadoti plateau from the much older Aravalli system to its west.

Rajasthan touches five states, and of them Madhya Pradesh, lying to the south-east, shares the longest common boundary. The two states meet along the Chambal and the Hadoti country, which is why the Chambal ravines and the Deccan lava plateau continue from one state into the other.

Rajasthan has an international boundary with Pakistan about 1,070 kilometres long, the longest held by any Indian state, and Jaisalmer accounts for the greatest part of it, roughly 464 kilometres.

Guru Shikhar rises to 1,722 metres on the Abu hills, an outlying block of the Aravalli in Sirohi district, and is the highest point both of Rajasthan and of the whole Aravalli system.

The Tropic of Cancer touches Rajasthan only at its southern extremity and crosses Banswara district near Kushalgarh. This is why the state is described as lying almost wholly in the sub-tropical zone, even though it is often grouped with the tropical states of western India.

Rajasthan lies between these parallels and between 69 degrees 30 minutes east and 78 degrees 17 minutes east longitude, which places the whole state in the north-western, sub-tropical part of India, with only its southern tip in Banswara touching the Tropic of Cancer.

Rajasthan covers 342,239 square kilometres, about 10.4 per cent of the area of India, and it has been the largest state of the country since Madhya Pradesh was divided and Chhattisgarh created in November 2000.

The Tropic of Cancer lies at 23 degrees 30 minutes north and crosses eight Indian states: Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram.

Faced with a steep fall in the water table around Chennai, the state amended its building rules in 2003 to require a rainwater harvesting structure in buildings, and it is cited as the first state in the country to make such harvesting compulsory.

The plan, released in 2008, set up eight national missions, among them the National Solar Mission, the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency, the National Water Mission, the National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem, the National Mission for a Green India, the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, the National…
