The JALDOOT mobile application, launched in September 2022, is used by Gram Rojgar Sahyaks primarily to monitor and record which of the following?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. water level in well.
The JALDOOT application, launched in September 2022 by the Government of India, is a mobile-based digital tool designed to empower Gram Rojgar Sahyaks (village employment assistants) in measuring the water levels in wells across rural India. This initiative is a joint effort by the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, aimed at promoting sustainable groundwater management.
Through this app, Gram Rojgar Sahyaks are instructed to manually measure and record the groundwater level twice a year (pre-monsoon and post-monsoon) from selected open wells. The data collected is uploaded to a central database, allowing for the analysis of groundwater trends at the village, district, and national levels.
Other Options:
-
Rainfall – Measured by rain gauges, not the Jaldoot app.
-
Crop yield – Estimated via agricultural surveys and satellite imaging.
-
Humidity – Monitored using hygrometers and weather stations, not by this app.
