Appeared in: UPPSC 2022

Explanation

• Statement 1 is factually correct. The Saryu Nahar National Project was first initiated in 1978, although it faced significant delays over the decades.
• Statement 2 is factually incorrect. The project was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, but the event took place on December 11, 2021, not in January 2022.
• Because only the first statement is true and the second is false, the correct choice is 'Only 1'.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option B: This option claims only statement 2 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because the inauguration date was December 2021, not January 2022.
• Option C: This option claims both statements are correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect due to the wrong inauguration month and year.
• Option D: This option claims neither statement is correct. However, statement 1 is factually correct as the project was started in 1978.

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Major National Infrastructure Projects in India as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• While not a direct clinical question, awareness of major public works is relevant for community health.
• Large-scale irrigation projects like this can impact regional agriculture, nutrition, and the economy, which are social determinants of health.
• Improved water access can also affect the prevalence of water-borne diseases, a key concern for public health nursing.

How to Approach the Question

• First, read both statements carefully, identifying the key facts in each (e.g., start year, inauguration date).
• Access your knowledge base on major national projects and current affairs.
• Evaluate the truthfulness of each statement independently. For Statement 1, recall or verify the project's start year. For Statement 2, recall or verify the inauguration details (location, date).
• Note that Statement 2 contains two facts: the location (Balrampur) and the date (January 2022). A statement is incorrect if any part of it is false.
• Based on your evaluation (Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false), select the option that matches this conclusion ('Only 1').
• Double-check the other options to confirm they are inconsistent with your findings.
