Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Tube Well is not called the ‘temples of modern India. The temples of modern India are referred to as the dams of India. Jawaharlal Nehru referred to the dams of India as temples of modern India. He referred to dams as temples of modern India because they generate electricity through water and will be helpful in agricultural activities. With the help of dams, rapid industrialisation will be done as they generate maximum electricity energy through water. They are also helpful in agricultural fields because water and electricity are transported to nearby agricultural fields of the villages. They provide maximum electricity energy. They transfer water energy to electric energy and produce electricity at maximum rates, which promotes industrial activities also.
The correct statement would be that dams are called the ‘temples of modern India’.
