## ANSWER

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी ( SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a): The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16 with the motto of 'Har Khet Ko Paani' for providing end-to-end solutions in irrigation supply chain, viz. water sources, distribution network and farm level applications. The scheme is  being  implemented  in  various  States  of  the  country.  The  components  of  PMKSY  are  as under:
- i. Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefit  Programme  (AIBP): To focus  on  faster  completion  of ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation projects including National Projects. This component is implemented by the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation.
- ii. PMKSY-Har Khet  Ko  Pani  (HKKP): Source  augmentation,  distribution,  ground  water development, lift irrigation,  diversion  of water from water plenty to  water scarce areas, repair, restoration, renovation of traditional water bodies. This component is implemented by the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation.

- iii. PMKSY-Per Drop More Crop (PDMC): Focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm level through Micro Irrigation technologies viz. Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation. This component is implemented by the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare.
- iv. PMKSY-Watershed Development Component (WDC): Focuses on development of rainfed portions of the net cultivated area and culturable wastelands. From 2009-10 to 2014-15, 8214 watershed development projects in states /UTs were sanctioned under Integrated  Watershed  Management  Programme  (IWMP).    The  IWMP  has  been amalgamated  as  Watershed  Development  Component  (WDC)  of  PMKSY.    This component is implemented by the Department of Land Resources.

(b) & (c): The details of watershed  projects sanctioned, area covered  by  projects, completed projects and funds released as Central share to States including Rajasthan under WDC-PMKSY, is Annexed.

(d) & (e): The projects sanctioned are at various stages of implementation. The Government is focusing on completion of all on-going projects and therefore, no new projects under WDC-PMKSY have been sanctioned since 2015-16.
