 SAUNI YOJANA (Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation Yojana) is an ambitious water management project launched by the Gujarat government to address the acute water shortage in the Saurashtra region. Let's break down the project in more detail: Background and Need : - Saurashtra Region: Saurashtra is a semi-arid region in Gujarat, prone to water scarcity due to its limited rainfall and inadequate water resources. The region frequently experiences droughts, leading to problems in agriculture, drinking water supply, and overall development.    - Narmada River: The Narmada River, originating in Madhya Pradesh, is a major water source in Gujarat. The Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River stores a large amount of water, but it’s located far from Saurashtra. Objective of SAUNI YOJANA: - **Water Redistribution**: The primary aim of SAUNI YOJANA is to transport surplus water from the Sardar Sarovar Dam to the water-deficient areas of Saurashtra. The goal is to fill up the region's 115
