## 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 201516  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 including Maharashtra. 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. Implemented by Ministry of Jal Shakti.
- 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.  Implemented by Ministry of Jal Shakti.

Contd..2/-

During  2016-17,  ninety-nine  (99)  on-going  Major/Medium  irrigation  projects  under PMKSY- (AIBP), having ultimate irrigation potential of 76.03 lakh ha. have been prioritized in consultation  with  States,  for  completion  in  phases  up  to  December,  2019  along  with  their Command  Area  Development  &  Water  Management  (CADWM)  works.  Out  of  these  99 prioritized projects, AIBP  works of 34 prioritized projects have  been reported to be completed/almost completed. Cumulative Irrigation Potential of about 54.45 lakh ha has been created through these 99 prioritized projects as on 31.03.2018.

- iii. PMKSY-Watershed Development (WDC): Focuses on development of rainfed portions of  the  net  cultivated  area  and  culturable  wastelands.  Activities  include  ridge  area treatment, drainage line treatment, soil and moisture conservation, rain water harvesting,  nursery  raising,  afforestation,  horticulture,  pasture  development,  livelihood for asset less persons, etc. Implemented by Department of Land Resources.
- iv. PMKSY-Per Drop More Crop (PDMC): Focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm  level  through  Micro  Irrigation  technologies  viz.  Drip  and  Sprinkler  Irrigation. Implemented by Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare.

State wise achievements made under the components of PMKSY including Maharashtra are given at Annexure-I to VI.

(b):      The  Group  of  Secretaries  (GoS)  has  recommended  a  target  of  10  Million  ha  for  Micro Irrigation from 2017-18 to 2021-22. The Department encourages the farmers to take advantage of PMKSY-PDMC by wide publicity through press & print media, publication of leaflets/booklets, organization of workshops, exhibitions, farmer fairs, information on State/Government of India web portals etc.  In addition, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) imparts training and organizes    field  demonstrations  through  Krishi  Vigyan  Kendras  (KVK)  to  educate  farmers  for promotion of Micro Irrigation.

The Government provides financial assistance @  55% for small  and  marginal farmers and @ 45% for other farmers for installation of Drip and Sprinkler systems under the scheme. In addition,  some  States  provide  additional  incentives  for  encouraging  farmers  to  adopt  Micro Irrigation.      Further,  25%  higher  amount  have  been  taken  into  calculation  of  subsidy  for  the North Eastern and Himalayan states and 15% higher for States with low penetration of Micro Irrigation for larger adoption of systems by the farmers under the scheme.

(c) & (d):   The Government had constituted an Inter-ministerial Committee to examine issues relating  to  'Doubling  of  Farmers  Income'  and  recommend  strategies  to  achieve  the  same  in April,  2016.  The  Committee  has  submitted  its  Report  to  the  Department  of  Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare in September, 2018.

To  achieve  this,  the  Committee  has  identified  seven  sources  of  income  growth  viz., improvement in crop productivity; improvement in livestock productivity; resource use efficiency or savings in the cost of production; increase in the cropping intensity; diversification towards high value crops; improvement in real prices received by farmers; and shift from farm to nonfarm  occupations.      Several  initiatives  have  already  been  taken  among  each  of  the  above mentioned strategies which inter-alia  are given at Annexure VII.

The  initiatives  would  impact  large  numbers  of  farmers  of  the  country  in  doubling  their income by the year 2022.
