Correct Answer: strengthening


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The phrase "Jal Bharo" is used to symbolise and strengthen the vision of "Jal Shakti". Strengthening means becoming stronger.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  1. Holding: This doesn't fit the context, as the ceremony is more about symbolising and expressing than holding.
  2. Proceeding: This doesn't convey the idea of symbolising the vision of "Jal Shakti".
  3. Moving: While "moving" might be associated with progress, it doesn't capture the meaning of symbolising or expressing the vision.
