## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU )

(a) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with an aim to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency, introduce sustainable water conservation practices, etc.

Under  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits  Programme  (AIBP)  component  of  PMKSY,  there  was  no provision for inclusion of any project during 2017-22, beyond the 99 prioritized projects included under the scheme  during  2016.  However,  inclusion  of  additional  projects  beyond  the  99  prioritized  projects  was allowed during extension of the PMKSY for 2021-26. Subsequently, five projects have been included under PMKSY-AIBP during 2021-22. Further, funding for Renukaji dam (National) project of Himachal Pradesh and Lakhwar (National) project of Uttarakhand has also been approved in December, 2021.

In addition, under the Ground Water sub component of PMKSY-Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP), 13 projects amounting to Rs. 1,020.54 crore have been sanctioned during the last five years, whereas during this period,  under  Surface  Minor  Scheme  (SMI) sub  component of PMKSY-HKKP, a total of 2,596 schemes with an estimated cost of Rs. 3,115.08 crore have been included for central assistance.

Further,  Special  Package  for  chronically  drought  prone  areas  of  Vidarbha,  Marathawada  and Rest of Maharashtra (Special Package), Relining of Rajasthan Feeder and Sirhind Feeder and Shahpur Kandi Projects of Punjab were approved by Government of India in  2018.

(c) A report on evaluation of centrally sponsored scheme for water resources sector was initiated by NITI Aayog, in which Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana was also evaluated. The said report was published in December,  2020.  Some  of  the  reasons  for  gap  between  irrigation  potential  created  (IPC)  and  irrigation potential utilized (IPU) leading to poor project performance reported in this study include non-completion of command area works, high water loss during conveyance through open canal networks, switching to waterintensive  cropping  pattern  on  project  completion  (especially  head  end  farmers),  faulty  designs,  unlined canals, lack of desilting, poor operation and maintenance of distribution channels and ineffective Water User Associations.
