## ANSWER

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

(a) Launched in 2015, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is an umbrella scheme, consisting of two  major  components  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry,  namely,  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists of four sub-components, being Command Area Development & Water Management (CAD&WM), Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI), Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water  Bodies, and Ground Water (GW) Development component. However, the CAD&WM sub-component of HKKP is being implemented pari-passu with AIBP.

In addition, PMKSY also consists of two components being implemented by other Ministries. Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) component is being implemented by Department of Agriculture, and Farmers Welfare (DoAFW). Watershed Development component (WDC) of PMKSY is being implemented by Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development.

Further,  while  approving  the  extension  of  PMKSY for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26, the following targets have been kept under the scheme for this period.

i. AIBP including CAD&WM: Completion of ongoing major/ medium projects numbering 60 under AIBP and 85 under CAD&WM, has been targeted during 2021-26. In addition, funding of two National projects, namely  Lakhwar  and  Renuka  projects,  has  also  been  approved.  Through  the  above  projects,  creation  of 13.88 lakh hectare irrigation potential under AIBP and 30.23 lakh cultivable command area coverage under CAD&WM has been envisaged during 2021-26.

ii. PMKSY-HKKP: Creation of 3.7 lakh hectare of irrigation potential through ongoing projects, and taking up  new  projects  to  create  0.8  lakh  hectare  of  irrigation  potential  for  coverage  through  surface  minor irrigation  (SMI)  and  repair,  renovation and restoration (RRR) of water bodies, has been approved for the period  2021-22  to  2025-26.  In  addition,  implementation  of  ground  water  component  was  provisionally approved  for  2021-22,  which  has  been  extended  subsequently  till  completion  of  ongoing  works  creating irrigation in 82,290 hectare using ground water in favorable areas.

iii. PMKSY-WDC: Under  this  component,  completion  of  sanctioned  projects  covering  49.5  lakh  hectare rainfed/ degraded lands, along with 2.5 lakh hectare additional area to be brought under protective irrigation, has been approved for implementation during 2021-22 to 2025-26.

iv.  In  addition,  at  the  inception  of  PMKSY  in  2015,  Per  Drop  More  Crop  (PDMC)  component  to  be implemented by DoA&FW, was also included as a part of PMKSY. However, with effect from December, 2021, PDMC is now being implemented by DoA&FW under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), in lieu of PMKSY.

(b) The details of the progress made so far under different components of PMKSY State/ UT-wise during 2016-17 to 2021-22 is at Annexure-I .

(c) & (d) Planning and implementation of irrigation projects to enhance physical access of water on farms, lies in the domain of the State Government concerned. However, in order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, Government of India provides technical assistance to the State Governments, and also provides partial financial assistance under its ongoing schemes for the identified irrigation projects. Some of the key initiatives taken by Government of India in this regard in the recent past, are given below.

1. Extension of PMKSY for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26 has been approved by Government of India, with an overall outlay of Rs. 93,068.56 crore (central assistance of Rs. 37,454 crore, debt servicing to NABARD for  Rs.  20,434.56  crore  and  an  outlay   for  Rs.  35,180  crore  by  the  State  Governments towards State share).
2. A  special  package  for  completion  of  8  major/  medium  irrigation  projects  and  83  surface  minor irrigation (SMI) schemes in drought prone areas of VIdarbha, Marathawada and rest of Maharashtra, has been approved by Government of India in 2018. The package has estimated balance cost of Rs. 13,651.61 crore, against which central assistance component for is Rs. 3,831.41 crore, with irrigation potential creation of 3.77 lakh hectare.
3. In June, 2018, Government of India has approved financial assistance to Shahpurkandi dam (National) project  benefitting  J&K  and  Punjab,  for  project  cost  of  Rs.  2,715.70  crore.  The  approved  central assistance liability for the project is Rs. 485.38 crore.
4. In  November,  2018  Government  of  India  has  approved  financial  assistance  to  'Relining  of  Sirhind Feeder  and relining of Rajasthan Feeder, for project cost of Rs. 1,976.75 crore. The approved central assistance liability of the project is Rs. 982 crore.
5. In  December,  2021,  Government  of  India  has  approved  central  assistance  to  Lakhwar  multipurpose (National) project, in the State of Uttarakhand. Estimated cost of the project is Rs. 5,747.17 crore.
6. In December, 2021, Government of India has also approved Ken-Betwa link project in the States of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, at an estimated cost of Rs. 44,605 crore.
