Automated driving test centre proving a tough nut for Delhiites

Why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit the Netherlands’ iconic Afsluitdijk dam during his Europe tour? The visit was far more than a diplomatic photo-op. The massive Dutch engineering project has now become directly relevant to India’s long-term plans for water security, flood control and climate resilience. From protecting an entire country from rising sea levels to managing freshwater storage and renewable energy, the Afsluitdijk is considered one of the world’s greatest water engineering marvels. Indian officials say the Dutch model could offer crucial lessons for Gujarat’s ambitious Kalpasar Project — a mega dam and freshwater reservoir proposed across the Gulf of Khambhat. But why is India suddenly looking at Dutch water infrastructure so seriously? And can the Kalpasar Project actually become reality? Watch the full video to know more.
