(c) if so, the details thereof?

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

(a) to (c) Assessment of adequacy of irrigation needs for the different parts of a State, as well as planning, funding, execution and maintaining irrigation projects to address the need for irrigation, is in the domain of the State Government concerned. Role of Government of India is limited to providing technical support and, in  some  cases,  partial  financial  assistance  for  irrigation  projects  under  the  existing  schemes  being implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti.

Measures have been taken to provide irrigation to tribal areas under the components of Pradhan Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (PMKSY)  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry.  Under  the  Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme  (AIBP) &  Command  Area  Development  and Water  Management Programme (CADWM), 21 out of 99 prioritized projects benefit the districts falling in tribal areas. Ultimate irrigation potential of these 21 projects is 10.73 lakh hectare, out of which irrigation potential of 6.99 lakh hectare has been created up to March, 2021. Similarly, under PMKSY- Har Khet Ko Pani, central assistance under Surface Minor Irrigation component is limited to hilly States and special areas, including tribal areas. Further, Repair, Renovation and Restoration of Water Bodies component of PMKSY-Har Khet Ko Pani has been  extended  to  tribal  areas  with  funding  pattern  of  60%  central  assistance,  as  against  25%  central assistance  to  general  areas.  There  is  also  a  preference  for  scheduled  tribe  farmers  under  Groundwater Development component of PMKSY being implemented by this Ministry.

For  Per  Drop  More  Crop  component  of  PMKSY  being  implemented  by  Department  of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the operational guidelines envisage that 8.5% of the total allocation or in proportion of ST population in the district should be utilized for tribal sub-plan. Similarly for Watershed Development  component  of  PMKSY  being  implemented  by  Department  of  Land  Resources,  10%  of allocation is to be spent on scheduled tribe component.
