## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with  an  aim  to  enhance  physical  access  of  water  on  farm  and  expand  cultivable  area  under  assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency, introduce sustainable water conservation practices, etc. It is an umbrella scheme, consisting of two major components being implemented by the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, 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.

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

During last three years, central assistance released to Odisha under different components of PMKSY is tabulated as below:

Further,  planning,  design  and  implementation  of  water  resources  projects  is  taken  up  by  the  State Governments as per their priorities and availability of funds. Some of these projects are included for partial financial  assistance  under  the  existing  schemes  of  Government  of  India,  including  PMKSY.  Thus, inclusion of the projects under the different components of PMKSY is based on conformity of the proposal with  the  laid  down  norms  of  the  component,  availability  of  funds,  etc.  and  not  based  on  invitation  of applications.

(c) Monitoring and maintenance of database for the different components of PMKSY is primarily based on the irrigation potential created. Thus the requisite details regarding number of beneficiaries, including those in Kalahandi and Nuapada districts of Odisha, are not being monitored at Government of India level.

However, as  per  information  provided  by  Government  of  Odisha,  district-wise  details  about  number  of beneficiaries under various projects of Odisha funded under AIBP, are as under:

|   Sl. No. | Name of the Project                 | District              | Beneficiary (Nos)   |
