Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention of 1971. India keeps adding sites, especially around World Wetlands Day (2 February).
Chhari-Dhand Wetland Conservation Reserve was designated a Ramsar site at the end of January 2026. It is a seasonal saline wetland lying between the Banni grasslands and the salt flats of the Rann in Kutch district, Gujarat, and is an important stopover for migratory birds such as cranes and flamingos. It became Gujarat's fifth and Kutch's first Ramsar site.
Indore in Madhya Pradesh is known for its Sirpur and Yashwant Sagar wetlands, Agra has no such 2026 site (Uttar Pradesh's 2026 addition was Patna Bird Sanctuary in Etah), and Ratnagiri in Maharashtra is a coastal district not linked to this wetland. Since one listed region is correct, “None of the above” is ruled out.
Kutch, Gujarat option is correct.
