## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) Water  resources  projects  are  planned,  funded,  executed,  and  maintained  by  the  State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priorities. Role of Government of India is limited  to  providing  technical  support  and,  in  some  cases,  partial  financial  assistance  under  the existing schemes implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti. However, for major and medium interstate  irrigation  projects,  appraisal  is  being  undertaken  by  Central  Water  Commission  under  this Ministry.

Further, for a major or medium irrigation project to be considered for financial assistance under any of the ongoing schemes of this Ministry, its acceptance by the Advisory Committee on Irrigation,  Flood  Control  and  Multipurpose  Projects,  and  subsequent  investment  clearance  on recommendations by the Investment Clearance Committee of this Ministry, is required.

Identified major and medium irrigation projects are being provided financial assistance under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana - Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme, with pari passu implementation of Command Area Development and Water Management scheme being implemented by this Ministry. State-wise details of major and medium irrigation projects presently under implementation with financial assistance under PMKSY-AIBP with pari passu implementation of CADWM, including those from Maharashtra, are placed at Annexure .

For  the  above  referred  projects,  implementing  State  Governments  are  mandated  to address  the  monitoring  and  redressal  mechanisms  to  ensure  maintenance  and  quality  control  of irrigation projects implemented by them. Further, the projects are regularly monitored by Central Water Commission, as well as by a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU) under this Ministry. Physical and financial progress of these projects is also monitored through a dedicated dashboard, backed with a Management Information System maintained by Ministry of Jal Shakti.

Apart from the above, implementation and progress of the projects is also monitored at the highest level in this Ministry. Secretary, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga  Rejuvenation,  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti  takes  project-wise  periodic  reviews  of  physical  and financial  progress  of  the  projects  and  actions  to  be  taken  by  the  various  State  Governments  are finalized for early resolution of issues. Review meetings are also held from time to time at the level of Hon'ble Minister, Jal Shakti.

In addition, 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.
