The correct answer is: D. Chandigarh
NITI Aayog has selected Chandigarh as the first Union Territory for a pilot project on Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs). The project will focus on improving the quality of life in Chandigarh by implementing SDG-related initiatives in the areas of education, health, environment, and infrastructure.
The project will be implemented in collaboration with the Chandigarh Administration and other stakeholders. It is expected to be completed in three years.
The selection of Chandigarh for the pilot project is based on its unique characteristics. Chandigarh is a planned city with a well-developed infrastructure. It is also a relatively small city, which makes it easier to implement and monitor the project.
The project is expected to have a positive impact on the quality of life in Chandigarh. It is expected to improve access to education, healthcare, and other essential services. It is also expected to improve the environment and infrastructure in the city.
The project is a significant step in the implementation of the SDGs in India. It is expected to serve as a model for other cities in the country.
The other options are incorrect because they are not Union Territories. Jammu and Kashmir, Goa, and Lakshadweep are all states.
