[B] To enhance the ground water table using rain water storage

Answer: C
Notes:

The matter of providing the SC quota benefits to Dalits who converted to Christianity or Islam has come up before earlier governments as well.

The Ranganath Mishra Commission’s report submitted in 2007 recommended that SC status be completely delinked from religion and be made religion-neutral like STs.

However, the then government rejected the proposal on grounds that it was not substantiated by field studies.
