(A) 5.1% and 5.7% (B) 6.1% and 6.7% (C) 7.1% and 7.7% (D) 8.1% and 8.7%

This question has two distinct parts. The first requires factual knowledge about irrigation sources in India, while the second demands factual recall of data from the Economic Survey of Jharkhand. The approach is primarily factual.

Points to Remember:

  • Irrigation source ranking by irrigated area.
  • Jharkhand’s GSDP growth rate projections.

Introduction:

India’s agricultural sector heavily relies on irrigation. Various sources contribute to irrigation, each with varying coverage. Accurate data on irrigated areas is crucial for agricultural planning and policy. Similarly, understanding a state’s Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth rate is essential for economic policy formulation and investment decisions. The following addresses the two distinct parts of the question.

Body:

Part 1: Ranking Irrigation Sources by Irrigated Area

The question asks to arrange canal, wells & tube wells, and tanks in descending order of their irrigated areas. While precise figures vary by year and region, a general trend across India shows canals having the largest irrigated area, followed by wells & tube wells, and then tanks. This is due to the scale of canal irrigation projects compared to the relatively smaller-scale nature of wells and tanks.

Therefore, the correct order is: (A) I, II, III (Canal, Wells & Tube wells, Tanks)

Part 2: Jharkhand’s GSDP Growth Rate Projections

This part requires consulting the Economic Survey of Jharkhand for FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25 GSDP growth rate projections. Without access to the specific survey document, we cannot definitively answer this. However, the question provides multiple-choice options, and one of these options represents the actual figures from the survey. To answer this accurately, one must refer to the official Economic Survey of Jharkhand.

Conclusion:

In summary, based on general knowledge of Indian irrigation systems, the correct order of irrigation sources by irrigated area is Canal, Wells & Tube wells, and Tanks (option A). The second part of the question, regarding Jharkhand’s GSDP growth rate projections, necessitates consulting the relevant Economic Survey of Jharkhand to determine the correct option (A, B, C, or D). Accurate and up-to-date data on irrigation and economic growth are crucial for informed policymaking and sustainable development. Further research into specific regional data and the Jharkhand Economic Survey is recommended for a complete and accurate response to the second part of the question. A holistic approach to agricultural development, incorporating efficient irrigation techniques and sustainable economic growth strategies, is essential for the overall progress of the state.
