The “Mukhyamantri Jal Swavalamban Yojana” in Chhattisgarh focuses on:

[amp_mcq option1=”Irrigation development” option2=”Promoting bottled water consumption” option3=”Banning all water extraction” option4=”Rain dances and rituals” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is: Irrigation development.

The Mukhyamantri Jal Swavalamban Yojana (MJSY) is a flagship program of the Government of Chhattisgarh to provide safe drinking water to all households in the state. The program focuses on the development of irrigation infrastructure, including the construction of check dams, water harvesting structures, and pipelines. The MJSY also promotes rainwater harvesting and water conservation measures.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Promoting bottled water consumption would not help to provide safe drinking water to all households in the state. Bottled water is often more expensive than tap water, and it is not always available in rural areas.
  • Banning all water extraction would not be sustainable, as it would prevent people from using water for agriculture, industry, and other purposes.
  • Rain dances and rituals are not effective ways to improve water supply. They may have some cultural significance, but they do not provide a practical solution to the problem of water scarcity.
