Directions: Read the following passage carefully:
Haryali is a watershed development project which aims at enabling the rural population to conserve water for drinking, irrigation, fisheries and afforestation. Under this initiative, all ongoing area development programmes namely, Integrated Wastelands Development Programme (IWDP), Drought Prone Areas Programme (DPAP) and Desert Development Programme (DDP) will be implemented through Panchayati Raj Institutions w.e.f. April 2003. As the Watershed Development Programmes aim at holistic development of watershed areas, the convergence of all other non-land based programmes of Government of India, particularly those of the Ministry of Rural Development would enhance the ultimate output and lead to sustainable economic development of the village community. The ZP/DRDA therefore, shall take all-possible measures to ensure convergence of other programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development such as the Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY), the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY), the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) and the Rural Drinking Water Supply Programme in the village chosen for the implementation of the watershed development projects.

Directions: Read the following passage carefully:Haryali is a watershe...
Explanation:

Statement I:
The first National Water Policy was indeed adopted in September 1987. This statement is true as it accurately reflects a significant event in India's water management history.

Statement II:
The National Water Policy 2002 does not stipulate primitive approaches to water management. In fact, it focuses on modern and sustainable approaches to water resource management. Therefore, this statement is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' as only statement I is true. The National Water Policy 2002 emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and integrated approach to water management, taking into account factors such as sustainability, efficiency, equity, and participatory governance.
