Ukai Dam is located in which State?

Appeared in: RRB Nsg. Superintendent-20 July 2019 (Shift-2)

Explanation

The Ukai Dam is located in the Tapi district of Gujarat.
It is constructed across the Tapti River and is the second-largest reservoir in the state.
The reservoir created by the dam is also known as Vallabh Sagar.
This is a factual general knowledge question common in the non-nursing sections of recruitment exams.

Option A: Manipur is a state in Northeast India. It is known for Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, not the Ukai Dam.
Option C: Punjab is a state in Northern India. It is famous for the Bhakra-Nangal Dam, a major gravity dam on the Sutlej River.
Option D: Tripura is another state in Northeast India. A notable dam in this state is the Gumti Dam on the Gumti River.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Location of Major Dams in India as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general knowledge question and does not have direct clinical relevance to nursing practice.
However, general awareness is a component of many nursing recruitment examinations, making such questions important for aspiring nurses to prepare for.
What if? If the question were about a health crisis following a dam failure (e.g., a flood), the clinical relevance would shift to disaster management, triage, and public health nursing interventions.

How to Approach the Question

This is a factual recall question from the subject of general knowledge/geography.
First, identify the key subject of the question, which is the 'Ukai Dam'.
Access your memory or knowledge base regarding major infrastructure projects in India.
Recall or deduce the state associated with the Ukai Dam.
Compare your recalled answer with the given options. Gujarat is the correct match.
If unsure, try to use the elimination method by identifying famous dams or landmarks in the other states listed as options.
