Answer: Varanasi
Notes: The Green Strategic Partnership between India and Denmark led to the creation of the Smart Laboratory on Clean Rivers (SLCR) in Varanasi. This partnership involves India's Department of Water Resources, IIT-BHU, and Denmark to improve small river management. SLCR focuses on rejuvenating the Varuna River using sustainable methods and collaboration. The initiative combines a hybrid lab at IIT-BHU and a living lab on the Varuna River to test solutions. SLCR includes strong institutional and review mechanisms to ensure high standards. The Indo-Danish Joint Steering Committee provides strategic guidance, while a Project Review Committee oversees quality control.
