Section 90 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 treats Polavaram Irrigation Project as a national project. The Ministry of Jal Shakti describes government execution of the irrigation component and dated funding and construction stages. The project lies on the Godavari; its intended canals, transfers, power and rehabilitation components must be kept separate in status questions.
An approval, allocation, completed concrete work and water actually delivered are different milestones. Do not state that every project component is finished because one structure or canal section has progressed. The new Polavaram district’s headquarters, Rampachodavaram, is a separate administrative fact.
Worked example: The Polavaram National Project is named in the Reorganisation Act, while its construction, rehabilitation and delivery are separate dated questions. If the stem asks for legal designation, cite the Act. If it asks for 2026 progress, use a current Ministry of Jal Shakti report. The project is on the Godavari; a recent Polavaram district name must not be treated as proof of project completion or as the entire command geography.
Active recall: Locate the named river or project on the relevant map, name its function, and state which facts need a dated source.
