TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Korea. Korea district in Chhattisgarh is recognized for community-led water conservation under the ’Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari’ initiative. The programme encourages farmers to voluntarily allocate five per cent of their agricultural land for groundwater recharge. Small recharge ponds and terraced pits are constructed to capture rainwater and replenish local groundwater reserves. The initiative follows a farm-based, decentralized water conservation model directly within agricultural fields. Recharge structures help retain rainwater, improve soil moisture, and reduce soil erosion. Women volunteers, known as ’Neer Nayikas,’ lead water conservation efforts at the community level. Youth volunteers, called ’Jal Doots,’ support awareness campaigns and field activities such as trench mapping and canal desilting. Communities have revived over 440 traditional ponds as part of the programme. More than 500 Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana beneficiaries constructed soak pits near their homes. Gram Sabha resolutions and technical guidance from district authorities facilitated effective implementation.
