## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU )

(a) Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (PMKSY)  is  an  umbrella  scheme,  consisting  of  two major  components  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry,  namely,  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefit Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists of four sub-components: (i)  Command  Area  Development  &  Water  Management  (CAD&WM);  (ii)  Surface  Minor  Irrigation (SMI); (iii) Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies; and (iv) Ground Water (GW) Development.   In  2016,  with  launch  of  revised  AIBP  format,   CAD&WM  sub-component  of  HKKP was taken up for pari passu implementation with AIBP.

In addition, PMKSY consists of two other components implemented by other Ministries. Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) component was being implemented by Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare  under  the  umbrella  of  PMKSY,  which  is  now  being  implemented  separately.  Further, Watershed Development component (WDC) of PMKSY is being implemented by Department of Land Resources.

W orks carried out under Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) component of PMKSY in various States of the country, including Maharashtra, during the last five years is given at Annexure.

(b) & (c) Continuation of PMKSY-HKKP for the period 2021-26 has been approved by Government of India, with the target for creation of 4.5 lakh hectare of irrigation potential through SMI and RRR of water  bodies,  and  implementation  of  ground  water  component  for  completion  of  ongoing  projects. Further,  CAD&WM  component  of  PMKSY  being  implemented  pari  passu  with  AIBP  targets completion of the ongoing CAD&WM major/ medium projects with coverage of cultivable command area of 30.23 lakh hectare during 2021-22 to 2025-26.

Progress made under CAD&WM component during 2021-2022 in Maharashtra is estimated to be about  16.17  thousand  hectare.  However,  there  is  no  project  presently  being  implemented  from Maharashtra under SMI, RRR of water bodies,  or Ground Water development components of HKKP.

(d) State Governments are mandated to monitor from time to time, the projects being implemented by them under PMKSY. During the monitoring, physical and financial progress vis-à-vis the targets is to be  reviewed.  Further,  quality  aspects  of  the  implementation  are  also  being  monitored  by  the  State Governments.

In  addition,  the  projects  being  implemented  under  the  scheme  are  also  regularly  monitored  by Central  Water  Commission,  as  well  as  by  a  dedicated  Project  Management  Unit  (PMU)  under  this Ministry. Review meetings are also held at various levels in the Ministry, right upto the level of the Hon'ble Minister.

Further, a special cell for monitoring of the bottlenecks and grievances pertaining to the projects receiving financial assistance under PMKSY-AIBP, has been provisioned. Also, third party evaluation of completed projects is also to be undertaken by this Ministry on sample basis.

(e) Many  important  components  of  PMKSY,  such  as  AIBP  with  pari  passu  implementation  of CAD&WM, SMI and RRR, do not maintain data in terms of number of beneficiaries,  and the  data maintained  is  in  terms  of  area  covered.  However,  considering  the  average  land  holding  for  these components, along with the number of beneficiaries reported for other components of PMKSY, it is estimated that more than 125 lakh farmers have benefitted under different components of PMKSY since 2015.
