Which Indian state has introduced boat ambulance service in its four districts where people face difficulties in getting health service?
Show Hint
Look for local government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare access in remote and difficult areas like Odisha's boat ambulance service.
- Uttar Pradesh
- Bihar
- Odisha
Uttarakhand
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
The state of Odisha has launched a boat ambulance service to aid people in remote areas facing challenges in accessing healthcare. This service is particularly useful in areas with poor road connectivity and high water bodies. Why option (C) fits: Odisha has been the first state to introduce such a boat ambulance system to address healthcare access issues. Eliminations: The other states are not known for this specific service.
Approach Solution -2
Since the service targets districts cut off by water bodies rather than hilly or landlocked terrain, matching the geography of each state narrows this down.
- Uttar Pradesh: largely a plains state without the specific riverine access problem this scheme addresses.
- Bihar: faces flooding but is not the state credited with introducing this particular boat ambulance service.
- Odisha: introduced boat ambulances in four of its districts where waterlogged and riverine terrain otherwise cuts people off from healthcare.
- Uttarakhand: a hilly state where the transport challenge is mountainous roads, not water bodies, so a boat ambulance would not fit its terrain.
The state whose four districts actually rolled out this water-based ambulance service is Odisha.
Hence, the correct answer is Odisha.
