In the delta region of which river are fertile plains found around Kakinada and Rajahmundry?

Correct answer: Godavari

The correct answer is the Godavari. The lower Godavari spreads into a broad delta in Andhra Pradesh, where distributary channels deposit fine, nutrient-rich alluvium. This supports fertile agricultural plains around Kakinada and Rajahmundry, now officially called Rajamahendravaram. The river finally reaches the Bay of Bengal through its delta. The Godavari is one of India’s major east-flowing peninsular rivers and is often called the “Dakshin Ganga.” Tapi and Sabarmati flow westward toward the Arabian Sea and therefore do not form this east-coast delta. Luni belongs to the arid drainage of Rajasthan and does not explain the fertile deltaic landscape around these Andhra Pradesh cities.
