Solution
The correct option is B Dandakaranya project The Dandakaranya rehabilitation plan was conceived in early 1956 to resettle the East Pakistani refugees as West Bengal was groaning under the huge burden of rehabilitation. The particular focus was on Bengali refugees from East Pakistan moving to lands and resources in Orissa and Chhattisgarh. To implement this project, the Government of India established the Dandakaranya Development Authority.
