## STATEMENT REFERRED IN REPLY TO PARTs (a) TO (c) OF STARRED QUESTION NO.  *102.  ANSWERED  ON  09.02.2017  IN  LOK  SABHA  REGARDING  'IRRIGATION PROJECTS' ASKED BY SHRI K. PARASURAMAN:

(a) to (c) Central Water Commission (CWC) has reported that out of 32 project proposals under appraisal during XII plan, 23 proposals including Grand Anicut Canal system have been accepted by the Advisory Committee of this Ministry on Irrigation, Flood Control and Multipurpose projects and 4 projects have been sent back due to non-compliance of the observations. The details of 23 ERM projects accepted by the Advisory Committee is at Annexure-I and the appraisal  status of balance ERM projects is at Annexure - II .

The  proposals  of  Grand  Anicut  Canal  System  of  Tamil  Nadu  has  been  accepted  by Advisory  Committee in its 130 th meeting held on 30.09.2016for an estimated cost of Rs. 2298.75 crore  with  benefits  to  an  area  of  1.0  Lakh  Ha.  However,  project  authorities  have  not  submitted proposal for investment clearance.

Further,  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 Manti Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). Further, inclusion of the projects under various schemes  for  central  assistance  is  considered  after  all  necessary  statutory  clearances  as  well  as investment clearance is obtained by project authorities and is subject to fulfillment of conditions laid down in the guidelines of schemes, availability of budget etc.

Forty two (42) approved ERM projects have been included under AIBP since its inception. Central Assistance of Rs. 2845.27 crore has been released for these projects upto Dec., 2016. Out of  these  42  ERM  projects,  20  ERM  projects  have  been  reported  to  be  completed  by  State Governments. The issues related to completion of ongoing AIBP projects were considered by a committee constituted under the Chairmanship of Minister (WR), Chhattisgarh. The Committee, in consultation  with  States  has  identified  99  ongoing  AIBP  projects  including  9  ERM  projects  for completion in phases by Dec., 2019 The details of prioritized  9 ERM projects is at Annexure- III .
