ASurat and Rajkot
BKachchh and Tapi
CNarmada and Dahod
DPatan and Mahisagar
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Narmada and Dahod
1. The planning section lists Gujarat's Aspirational Districts.
2. Of 117 such districts nationally, two are in Gujarat: Narmada and Dahod.
3. Patan and Mahisagar were awarded under the Swachh Survekshan Gramin, not the Aspirational Districts list, so they are a trap.
4. Therefore the two Aspirational Districts are Narmada and Dahod.
