Notes: In the Agriculture and Natural Resources sector in India, all ongoing projects under ADB financing  are  primarily  supporting  irrigation,  flood  control  and  water  resources  management projects. However,  under  Loan  3265-  Orissa Integrated  Irrigated Agriculture  and  Water Management Investment Program, the expected outcome of the investment in modernization and management of irrigation system and associated infrastructure, is to increase productivity of agriculture in the Mahanadi delta, Brahmani and Baitrani river basins in Odisha.
