## †1369. SHRI PRINCE RAJ

Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state:

(a)  whether  any  scheme  is  being  implemented  by  the  Government  for  drainage  of  water  from waterlogged arable land;

(b) if so, the steps taken/proposed to be taken for resolving the said problem;

(c) the role of the State Governments in this regard along with the funds allocated to the States; and

(d)  the  role  likely  to  be  played  by  the  Union  Government  in  regard  to  implementation  of  detailed project  reports  forwarded  by  the  Water  Drainage  and  Flood  Control  Divisions  of  Samastipur  and Darbhanga districts of Bihar to the State Government?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI ( SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU )

(a), (b) & (c) As the subject matter of water, including drainage falls under the State List of Seventh Schedule under Constitution of India, such projects are formulated and implemented by concerned State Governments as per  their  priority.  The  Central  government  supplements  the  efforts  of  the  States  by providing technical guidance and financial support to the States as per standard guidelines under the relevant schemes as mentioned below.

As far as the Central Government is concerned, there exist  provisions within existing schemes for drainage  of  water  from  waterlogged  arable  land  in  the  ongoing  command  area  development  works under Command Area Development and Water Management (CADWM) component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi  Sinchai  Yojna  -  Har  Khet  Ko  Pani  (PMKSY-HKKP).  Under  this  one  of  the  activity  under 'Structural Intervention' includes Reclamation  of  waterlogged  areas. Further, under  the  Flood Management  Programme,  flood  protection  of  arable  lands  is  taken  up.  For  this,  techno-economic appraisal of flood management and anti-erosion schemes/ drainage schemes received from the Ganga basin States is dealt in Ganga Flood Control Commission (GFCC).

Details  of  Central  assistance  released  to  states  under  the  Flood  Management  and  Border  Area Programme and the CADWM component of PMKSY are at Annexures I and II respectively.

(d) As far as the state of Bihar is concerned, the Water Resources Department (WRD) of Government of Bihar has informed that the State government has identified the water logged area in Bihar as 9.41 lakh hectare. So far, water logged geographical area of 1.80 lakh hectare has been drained out due to the efforts of the State government. Out of the remaining 7.62 lakh hectare, the water logged area of 2.50 lakh hectare area is not feasible to drain out due to socio economic perspective. The state government is taking  efforts  to  solve  the  drainage  issue  in  the  remaining  identified  region.  Further,  the  Water Resources Department (WRD) of Government of Bihar has informed that various anti erosion works are implemented every year for protection of the regions. In this regard, 32 No. of Anti Erosion Work amounting to Rs. 5092.23 lakh are being executed before flood 2023, which would also have drainage benefit  in  Darbhanga  and  Samastipur  Districts.  However,  no  Detailed  Project  Reports  regarding drainage  have  been  submitted  by  Flood  Control  Divisions  of  Samastipur  and  Darbhanga  districts  of Bihar in Ganga Flood Control Commission (GFCC).
