Solution

The correct option is B Adarsh Gram Yojana
The situation in the village of Hiware Bazar was quite grim during the 1980’s as tree cutting and uncontrolled open grazing had led to soil erosion and low groundwater levels resulting in acute water scarcity. However, things changed drastically when the village was selected under the Adarsh Gram Yojana of Maharashtra to conserve water.
