## ANSWER

## THE  MINISTER  OF  STATE  FOR  WATER  RESOURCES,  RIVER  DEVELOPMENT  AND  GANGA REJUVENATION (DR. SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) to (d) Water  Resources  Projects  are  planned,  funded,  executed  and  maintained  by  the  State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priority. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, MoWR, RD & GR provides financial assistance to State Governments to encourage sustainable  development and efficient management of water resources through various schemes such as Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits  Programme  (AIBP)  etc.  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana (PMKSY).

Ninety Nine (99) ongoing Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) projects, including 26 projects of Maharashtra, have been identified in consultation with States for completion in phases up to December, 2019. Based on the inputs available at the time of formulation of the scheme, 7 projects, out of these 26 projects, were tentatively identified for completion by 2016-17.

The progress of the prioritized projects of Maharashtra was reviewed by Secretary (MoWR, RD & GR) & Mission Director (PMKSY) on 27.02.2017.   Government of Maharashtra informed that 4 projects out of 7 projects identified for completion by 2016-17 are now planned to be completed by June, 2017. Further, one project which was scheduled for completion by March, 2018 is now planned to be completed by  June,  2017.      Further,  it  emerged  that  various  long  pending  issues  related  to  irrigation  projects  of Maharashtra have been streamlined and they have been now put on fast track to meet overall completion targets of December 2019.

Project-wise central assistance released under AIBP to Maharashtra during last three years and current year is at Annexure .
