મેઇન્સ
GS Paper 2 (Polity - special constitutional provisions) and GS Paper 1 (Geography - regional water resources): the zero inflow into Kalyana Karnataka's reservoirs highlights a chronic water and irrigation stress in a region already recognised as backward under Article 371J. This undermines the provision's developmental intent and calls for integrated water resource management, drought-proofing, and targeted use of the region's special development funds.
