कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a)&(b):  Government  is  implementing  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee Yojana  (PMKSY)  from  2015-16  with  the  motto  of  'Har  Khet  Ko  Paani'  for providing  end-to-end  solutions  in  irrigation  supply  chain,  viz.  water  sources, distribution network and farm level applications. The PMKSY  has four components and the details are as under:

i. PMKSY-  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefit  Programme  (AIBP): This component is being implemented by the Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR, RD &GR). During 2016-17, ninetynine  (99)  on-going  Major/Medium  irrigation  projects  (and  7  phases),  in  the country  having  balance  estimated  cost  of  Rs.77,595  cr.  (Central  AssistanceRs.31342.50  crore  and  State  Share-Rs.46253  crore)  have  been  prioritised  in consultation with States for completion in phases. Funding mechanism has been approved by the Government for providing Central and State Share under Long Term  Irrigation  Fund  (LTIF)  through  National  Bank  for  Agriculture  and  Rural Development  (NABARD).    Out  of  these  99  prioritized  projects,  two  projects namely  Narmada  Canal  and  Modernization  of  Gang  Canal  benefitting  Jalore, Barmer  and  Sriganganagar  districts  of  Rajasthan.  AIBP  works  of  both  the projects  have  been  reported  to  be  completed.  During  2016-17  to  2020-21, Central Assistance of Rs.458.56 crore has been released for these projects of Rajasthan.  Total  irrigation  potential  of  315.57  th  ha.  has  been  reported  to  be created upto March, 2021 in Rajasthan. Out of which, irrigation potential of 7.24 th  ha  has  been  reported  to  be  created  by  these  projects,  during  2016-17  to 2020-21. State-wise detail of Central Assistance released & Irrigation Potential created is at given at Annexure-I .

Under  Command  Area  Development  &  Water  Management  (CADWM) Programme, as per information provided by the States, about 20.67 lakh Ha of Culturable Command Area (CCA) has been developed during last 6 years (201516  to  2020-21)  including  Rajasthan.  State-wise  details  of  Central  Assistance released  and  Culturable  Command  Area  (CCA)  developed  under  CADWM  is given at Annexure-II .

ii. PMKSY-Har  Khet  Ko  Pani  (HKKP): This component  is  also being implemented by the DoWR, RD &GR.

The scheme of Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI) and Repair, Renovation and Restoration  (RRR)  of  Water  Bodies  are  a  part  of  HKKP.  Under  SMI  scheme, since 12th plan onwards, 6213 schemes are ongoing with an estimated cost of Rs. 13473 crore. Central Assistance (CA) of Rs. 7957 crore has been released to  states upto March, 2021. Further, 3884 schemes have been reported to be completed  upto  March,  2021.  Target  irrigation  potential  creation  of  these schemes  is  10.53  Lakh  Ha  and  out  of  this,  6.85  Lakh  Ha  is  reported  to  be created till March, 2021. During the current financial year, Rs. 17.72 crore has been released to SMI schemes till date.

Under  the  RRR  of  Water  Bodies  scheme,  since  12th  plan  onwards,  2228 schemes  are  ongoing  with  an  estimated  cost  of  Rs.  1914.86  crore.  Central Assistance of Rs. 469.69 crore has been released to states upto March, 2021. Further,  1549  water  bodies  have  been  reported  to  be  completed  upto  March, 2021.  Target  irrigation  potential  restoration  of  these  schemes  is  1.89  Lakh  Ha and  out  of  this,  1.31  Lakh  Ha  is  reported  to  be  restored  till  March,  2021.  2 clusters of 68 water bodies have been included during 2014-15 to 2017-18 from the State of Rajasthan under this scheme with total estimated cost of Rs. 187.82 crore  and  targeted  Irrigation  potential  of  0.1319  Lha.  So  far,  total  Central Assistance  of  Rs.  62.18  crore  has  been  released  to  these  schemes  and  66 schemes  have  been  reported  complete  with  achievement  of  0.1019  Lakh  ha Irrigation  potential  till  date.  Districts  covered  by  these  schemes  are  Ajmer, Banswara, Bhilwara, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Dholpur, Jalore, Jodhpur, Karoli, Kota, Madhopur, Pali, Pratapgarh, Sawai, Sikar, Sirohi, Tonk and Udaipur. State-wise details  of  Central  Assistance  released  and  potential  achieved/  restored  under SMI and RRR of Water Bodies schemes is given  as Annexure-III & IV .

- iii. PMKSY-  Watershed  Development  (WDC): The  Department  of  Land Resources (DoLR) implements WDC for development of rainfed/degraded lands. DoLR  has sanctioned, 8214 watershed development projects covering an area of about 39.07 million hectare  in 28 States (except Goa) [now 27 States and UTs of J & K and Ladakh) including Rajasthan during the  period  2009-10  to  2014-15  under  Integrated  Watershed  Management Programme  (IWMP).  As  per  the  decision  at  highest  level,  1832  projects (345 uninitiated and 1487 in preparatory stage) were transferred to various States in 2018 to implement with their own budget.  Therefore, DoLR has been implementing only 6382 projects. The project period of the scheme got over on 31st March 2021.  IWMP was amalgamated as WDC in 2015-16.

The State wise details of projects sanctioned, area covered, funds released as central share from 2009-10 to 2021-22 and farmers benefited (2014-15 to 2021-22,Q1)  are given at Annexure-V .

- iv . PMKSY-Per Drop More Crop (PDMC): This component is being implemented by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW). The PDMC focuses on enhancing water use efficiency at farm level through Micro Irrigation technologies viz. Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation. The State wise details  of  Central  Assistance  released,  area  covered  under micro irrigation and number of farmers benefitted from micro irrigation under PDMC is given at Annexure-VI .  District wise  details of area covered under micro irrigation and number of farmers benefitted in the State of Rajasthan under PDMC is given at Annexure-VII .
- (c):    The  DA&FW  is  implementing  various  programmes/schemes  such  as Rainfed Area Development Programme to promote Integrated Farming System for enhancing productivity and minimizing risks associated with climatic variability;  National  Food  Security  Mission  for  Cultivation  of  pulses  and  coarse cereals  and  oilseeds  as  these  crops  require  less  water;  Crop  Diversification Programme (CDP) to diversify cropping pattern away from water guzzling paddy; Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) for holistic growth of horticulture sector covering fruits, vegetables, root and tuber crops, mushrooms, spices, etc.  Under these schemes, the financial assistance and advisories are provided to farmers for adopting the best practices for efficient water management and agro ecologically suitable crops.

Indian Council for Agricultural Research  (ICAR)-Central  Research Institute  for  Dryland  Agriculture  (CRIDA)  is  providing  weather  based  agroadvisories  to  the  farmers  to  cushion  the  impact  of  delayed  monsoons  during kharif season across the country. It has also prepared District Agricultural Contingent Plans to facilitate appropriate agro-advisories to farmers in the event of adverse climatic situations including delayed Monsoon. ICAR suggests drought tolerant short duration varieties, diversified farming systems, in-situ and ex-situ water conservation measures to tackle such a situation.
