The correct answer is: A) Irrigation project.
The Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam (KBJN) is a major irrigation project in India. It is a joint venture between the Government of Andhra Pradesh and the Government of Telangana. The project aims to provide irrigation water to over 10 million acres of land in the two states. It is also expected to generate 3,000 MW of hydroelectric power.
The project is being implemented in two phases. The first phase, which is currently underway, involves the construction of a barrage across the Krishna River. The second phase, which is yet to be started, will involve the construction of a series of canals to distribute the water to the irrigation areas.
The KBJN is a major infrastructure project that is expected to have a significant impact on the economy of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is expected to create employment opportunities, boost agricultural production, and improve the living standards of the people in the two states.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is incorrect because the KBJN is not a power generation scheme. It is an irrigation project.
- Option C is incorrect because the KBJN is not an industrial development zone. It is an irrigation project.
- Option D is incorrect because the KBJN is not an urban development scheme. It is an irrigation project.
