Discussion
Which of the following is not a watershed development project in India?
Answer: B
The one that is not a watershed development project is the National Flood Control Project.
India's watershed development efforts include the Drought Prone Areas Programme (1973-74), the Desert Development Programme (1977-78) and the National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas (1990-91), all of which treat land, water and vegetation on a watershed basis.
Flood control in India was organised under the National Flood Control Programme, launched in 1954, which built embankments and drainage works on rivers. It is a flood management programme rather than a watershed development project, and the name in the option does not match any watershed scheme.
