ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

(SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU)

(a)  to  (c)    Flood  management  including  erosion  control  falls  within  the  purview  of  the  States.  Flood management and anti-erosion schemes are formulated and implemented by concerned State Governments as per their priority. The Union Government supplements the efforts of the States by providing technical guidance  and  also  promotional  financial  assistance  for  management  of  floods  in  critical  areas.  The Government  of  India  had  launched  a  centrally  sponsored  scheme  viz.  Flood  Management  Programme (FMAP)  during  XI  Plan  to  provide  central  assistance  to  states  for  taking  up  works  related  to  flood management, anti-erosion,  drainage  development,  anti-sea  erosion  etc.  which  continued  during  XII  Plan period  and  as  a  component  of    'Flood  Management    and  Border  Areas  Programme  (FMBAP)'  for subsequent period. Five  flood management projects from the State of Tamil Nadu during XI Plan were approved  for  central  assistance  under  'Flood  Management  Programme'  and  have  been  physically completed. Details of these five flood management projects are at Annexure-I .
