give reason narmada is lifeline of Gujarat
Answers
The world’s most controversial dam — the Sardar Sarovar Dam on River Narmada in South Gujarat — which was conceptualised at least 60 years ago was finally inaugurated on Sunday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is the second largest dam in the world with a height of 138 meters and is expected to extend irrigation benefits to nearly 18.54 lakh hectares of land in Gujarat.
Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the dam on his birthday and said no other project in the world has faced so many hurdles as this dam did. The foundation of the project — the benefits of which will be reaped by Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan — was laid by India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1961. PM Modi stressed the dam would become a symbol of India’s growing prowess and would further boost the growth oriented Gujarat Model. He said despite hurdles, his government was determined and had dared to complete the project.

Explanation:
The Narmada River, also called the Reva and previously also known as Narbada (Nerbudda)[2]. It is also known as "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat" for its huge contribution to the state of Madhya pradesh and Gujarat in many ways. Narmada rises from Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur district Madhya Pradesh. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India and flows westwards over a length of 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining through the Gulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch city of Gujarat.
It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. Being the rift valley river, Narmada river does not form delta. Rift valley river forms estuaries. The other rivers which flow through rift valley include Damodar River in Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti. The Tapti River and Mahi River also flow through rift valleys, but between different ranges. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh (1,077 km (669.2 mi)), and Maharashtra, (74 km (46.0 mi)),(39 km (24.2 mi)) (actually along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (39 km (24.2 mi)) and then the border between Maharastra and Gujarat (74 km (46.0 mi)) and in Gujarat (161 km (100.0 mi)).[5]
The Periplus Maris Erythraei (c. 80 AD) calls it the Nammadus,[6] and the British Raj called it the Nerbudda or Narbada.[7] Narmada is a Sanskrit word meaning "The Giver of Pleasure".[8]
