moving further here you can see there

play05:43

are various ramser sites now this tawa

play05:45

your Ramer s so that is why it becomes

play05:51

even more important now you will tell me

play05:53

in the comment section that how many

play05:55

Ramer sites are there in India in total

play05:57

Tava reservoire is your answer option D

play06:03

is your right answer over here okay now

play06:05

let's move further to the next question

play06:07

that is question number four consider

play06:09

the following statement about the port

play06:11

Blair recently the center has renamed

play06:14

Port Blair the capital of andan and

play06:16

nicobar Island as three nadapuram okay

play06:19

statement two is Port Blair was named

play06:21

after the archal Blair a British nval

play06:24

surveyor who conducted the first thoro

play06:26

survey of the Andaman Island in late 70s

play06:29

70s okay then the city lies on the hilly

play06:33

Southeastern Andaman Sea Coast of the

play06:36

South Andaman Island okay now if you

play06:39

look at the all these statements this

play06:41

was in news because recently the name of

play06:43

Port Blair was changed to three

play06:46

vuram

play06:48

three Vijaya puram now this vijayapuram

play06:51

was kind of you can say SRI vij was an

play06:53

Empire which was there in the vicinity

play06:56

of this particular area and that is why

play06:57

we have taken this particular name okay

play06:59

so option

play07:00

you can say statement one is incorrect

play07:01

because the name is not s nadapuram it

play07:03

is Sri vijayapuram okay other than that

play07:05

if you look at the two statements these

play07:07

both the statements are factual and

play07:09

these are true okay now location of the

play07:11

city if you look at over here so you'll

play07:13

be seeing that this is the Andaman and

play07:15

in the south eastern part over here we

play07:16

have this port Blair okay other than

play07:18

that if you look at this particular area

play07:20

you'll be seeing that we have Andaman

play07:22

and nicobar group okay now when we talk

play07:24

about Andaman and nicobar group there is

play07:26

this 10° Channel which is basically

play07:30

separating andan from the nicobar okay

play07:32

and andman and nicobar are further

play07:34

divided among various groups like one is

play07:36

north andan then we have middle anman we

play07:38

have South anman we have little anman

play07:40

and similarly there are nicobar groups

play07:42

which are also divided great nicobar is

play07:44

there car nicobar is there okay so

play07:45

similarly it has also been divided when

play07:48

you talk about this area this is quite a

play07:50

strategic area you know that there is a

play07:51

sea route which is passing through uh

play07:53

you can say nearby areas that is the

play07:55

malaka straet route and other than that

play07:57

if you look at the great nicobar you

play07:59

know that the southernmost tip of Indian

play08:01

Territory is basically present in great

play08:03

nicobar that is

play08:06

your Indira Point okay so that is there

play08:09

in the great nicobar other than that if

play08:11

they ask you the what is the

play08:13

southernmost tip of the India Mainland

play08:15

that is basically kanyakumari okay now

play08:17

this is the picture of Captain Arch bir

play08:19

Blair which is basically on Whose name

play08:21

the port Blair was named okay now moving

play08:26

further here you can see only two and

play08:29

three are correct so option b would be

play08:31

the right answer only two statements are

play08:32

correct over here okay now question

play08:34

number

play08:36

five which of the following statement is

play08:39

or are not correct about the Sardar

play08:42

sover Dam okay first is it is a concrete

play08:44

gravity Dam built on the sabarmati river

play08:47

at kadia in Gujarat second is it is the

play08:51

third largest concrete Dam that is 163 m

play08:55

in India it is part of Nara Valley

play08:57

Project and NDA main canal in guat is

play08:59

the largest irrigation irrigation line

play09:02

canal in the world okay now they are

play09:04

talking about statement which is not

play09:06

correct okay now looking at the

play09:08

statement one it is a concrete gravity

play09:10

Dam that is true it is built on the

play09:12

tabati river now this is incorrect

play09:14

because it is built on the Nara River

play09:16

okay if you look at this particular you

play09:19

can say uh statement that is NDA Valley

play09:23

then the next statement which is also

play09:24

talking about the NDA main Canal so you

play09:27

can see that it is more about NDA and

play09:29

not about the Sati okay so option A is

play09:31

your right answer because it is

play09:32

incorrect okay now looking at the

play09:35

location of this particular Dam you know

play09:36

that this is located in Gujarat over

play09:38

here okay so there is this this

play09:40

particular Canal is there which is

play09:41

basically a NDA main canal and if you

play09:44

look at the beneficiary of this

play09:45

particular project so there is this

play09:47

electric electricity generation project

play09:49

is also there so the beneficiaries will

play09:51

be uh Gujarat MP and Maharashtra and if

play09:56

we talk about the beneficiary of

play09:58

irrigation so Gujarat and Rajasthan will

play10:01

be beneficiary of that okay I hope that

play10:03

is clear this information is given in

play10:05

this particular slide okay so Sardar SAR

play10:07

project which is there on the NADA River

play10:09

okay it is a gravity Dam okay and the

play10:12

primarily meant for the large scale

play10:14

irrigation and hydro electric

play10:16

multi-purpose Dam okay now if we talk

play10:18

about the beneficiaries which are given

play10:20

over here when we talk about the

play10:21

hydroelectric power generation so

play10:23

beneficiaries are Gujarat Madia Pradesh

play10:25

and Maharashtra for the irrigation

play10:27

beneficiaries are Gujarat and Rajasthan

play10:30

okay I hope that is clear now we can

play10:31

move further to the next one that is

play10:33

question number six pahari Corva tribe

play10:57

that particular Village is there in

play10:58

chattis Gad option a is your right

play11:00

answer let's have a look at the you can

play11:02

say news and the location when we talk

play11:04

play11:06

electricity supply for the first time

play11:08

okay here they have mentioned that there

play11:10

is this particular tribe which is living

play11:11

over here that is pahari corba tribe

play11:13

okay so this is the picture of them okay

play11:15

and this particular tribe is a

play11:17

particularly vulnerable tribal group

play11:19

okay now you know that for particularly

play11:22

vulnerable tribal group we have this

play11:23

scheme that is PM jman okay

play11:27

so and other than that you you know that

play11:29

in India there are nearly 75 pvts which

play11:32

are present and highest are there in

play11:34

odisa okay so now moving further here

play11:37

you can see they are located in the

play11:39

chattis Gad somewhere over here and here

play11:41

you can see mahua Pani Village is there

play11:44

and they have got the electricity for

play11:46

the first time since the independence

play11:48

and Village is located in the dense

play11:50

play11:53

P's families from the tribe that is

pahari corba tribe okay the project is

play11:58

play12:02

janman yoga under which they have

play12:04

actually received the electricity now 54

play12:08

pahari Corva settlements in the northern

play12:10

chtis gar will be connected via roads

play12:13

under the scheme so this is particular

play12:14

area where they are located okay I hope

play12:17

that is clear we can move further to the

play12:19

next question that is question number

play12:20

seven consider the following statements

play12:22

the city of Hyderabad is situated on the

play12:24

duakan plate Hyderabad was founded by

play12:27

nisam mul that is ass

play12:29

was uh intermittently Vice Roy of the

play12:32

Duan Peninsular India under the mugal

play12:35

emperor from 1713 to 1721 now these two

play12:40

are factual statements which are over

play12:42

here now when we are talking about the

play12:44

this particular news it was taken

play12:45

because there was this Hyderabad

play12:48

Liberation day and that is why it was in

play12:50

news because you know that in

play12:52

1948 okay there was this issues with

play12:54

respect to the integration of Hyderabad

play12:56

India and Pakistan there was this uh you

play12:58

can say specul that Hyderabad might go

play13:00

with Pakistan but the you can say

play13:02

population of the people over here they

play13:04

wanted to merge with India and that is

play13:06

why India has gone for the operation

play13:09

Polo okay this was a you can say

play13:11

military action or you can say police

play13:13

action which has been performed over

play13:14

here police action because it was an

play13:16

internal issue and that is why there was

play13:18

this police action and under which uh

play13:21

you can say Hyderabad War merged into

play13:24

India okay so that statement if you're

play13:26

talking about the city of Hyderabad is

play13:28

situated on the D Plato this is correct

play13:30

and when we talk about the Hyderabad

play13:32

found was founded by n mul now this is a

play13:35

statement from the history so this

play13:36

statement is also true option C is your

play13:38

right answer now talking about the

play13:40

location over here of Hyderabad City

play13:42

here you can

play13:43

see so this is where in telengana we

play13:47

have Hyderabad okay and this is

play13:49

play13:51

okay I hope that is clear now we can

play13:53

play14:28

the color of this plant

play14:29

this is kind

play14:30

of you must have heard about Neil grees

play14:34
