Kolleru Lake which is one of the largest freshwater lakes in India is located in which state?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Andhra Pradesh.

Kolleru Lake, one of India's largest freshwater lakes, is located in Andhra Pradesh. Situated between the Krishna and Godavari deltas, it serves as a vital habitat for migratory birds and supports local fisheries. The lake is a designated wildlife sanctuary and Ramsar site, emphasizing its ecological significance.

Other Options:

  • Rajasthan: Known for saline lakes like Sambhar, not freshwater ones like Kolleru.

  • Manipur: Home to Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, but not Kolleru.

  • Jammu & Kashmir: Famous for Dal and Wular Lake (India's largest freshwater lake), but Kolleru is in Andhra Pradesh.
