TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Haryana. The World Bank approved a ₹4,000-crore loan for Haryana's Jal Sanrakshit Haryana project to strengthen water security and irrigation management. The project focuses on water conservation, canal modernization, groundwater recharge, irrigation efficiency, treated wastewater reuse, and crop diversification. The initiative aims to promote climate-resilient agriculture and sustainable water resource management across Haryana. Haryana launched the project to address challenges such as groundwater depletion, waterlogging, and rising irrigation demand. A total of 678 canals have been identified for restoration and modernization under different funding mechanisms. Under the project framework, 106 canals will be restored with World Bank assistance, while 293 canals will be rehabilitated through state funding. Another 279 canals will be upgraded through projects supported by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The programme will rehabilitate 620 water channels, benefiting about 3.18 lakh acres of agricultural land, and upgrade 120 canal-based micro-irrigation projects covering nearly 56,830 acres.
