This question was posed to me in a job interview.

I would like to ask this question from The State of India’s Rivers topic in chapter Environmental Pollution of Energy Management

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) 18

The best I can explain: National River Conservation Plan (NRCP) covers 18 rivers in 10 states including 46 towns. The cost is bore entirely by the Central Government and the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The main activities of the plan are to treat the pollution load from sewer systems of towns and cities.
