## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a) to (d) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna (PMKSY) is an umbrella scheme, consisting of two major components  being  implemented  by  the  Department  of  Water  Resources,  River  Development  &  Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR,RD&GR), Ministry of Jal Shakti, namely, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists of four sub-components: (i) Command Area Development & Water Management (CAD&WM); (ii) Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI); (iii) Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies; and (iv) Ground Water (GW) Development.  In 2016, with the launching of revised AIBP format, CAD&WM sub-component of HKKP has been taken up for pari passu implementation with AIBP.

During  approval  of  implementation  of  PMKSY  for  the  period  2021-22  to  2025-26,  approval  of Ground  Water  component  under  PMKSY-HKKP  was  accorded  only  for  committed  liabilities.  Also,  Per Drop  More  Crop  component,  which  was  earlier  a  component  of  PMKSY,  is  now  being  implemented separately by Department of Agriculture and Farmer's Welfare (DoA&FW) under Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojna (RKVY).  In addition, Watershed Development Component  (WDC) of PMKSY  is being implemented by Department of Land Resources (DoLR).

To  address  the  issue  of  development  of  irrigation  in  water  scarce  drought  prone  areas  in  India including the state of Rajasthan, special provisions have been made in criteria for selection of projects and central funding ratio under PMKSY-AIBP. If a project has more than 50% command in drought prone area, 50%  advance  stage  criteria  has  been  relaxed  and  the  project  can  be  included  since  beginning  of  the construction with enhance funding.

03 projects of Rajasthan namely Narmada Canal Project, Modernization of Ganga Canal Project and Parwan Multipurpose Irrigation Project have been included under PMKSY-AIBP. 16.38 thousand hectare irrigation potential has been created and command area of 82.47 thousand hectare has been developed under these  projects  since  April,  2016.  However,  Dausa  district  of  Rajasthan  is  not  being  benefitted  by  these projects.

Under PMKSY-HKKP-RRR component of PMKSY, an area of 15.33 thousand hectares of irrigation potential  has  been  created  in  Rajasthan.  Repair,  renovation  and  restoration  of  one  water  body  of  Dausa district with irrigation potential of 167 hectare has been completed under PMKSY-HKKP-RRR.

Further, under WDC component of PMKSY 2.0, 04 projects with an area of 21,426 hectares has been sanctioned in the Dausa district of Rajasthan, whereas under PDMC, an area of 10,490 hectares has been covered under micro irrigation in Dausa District of Rajasthan.

The target achieved under various components of PMKSY in various States is at Annexure.

Under the components of PMKSY being implemented by DoWR,RD&GR, central assistance is being provided to State/project authority. However, under PDMC, the Government provides financial assistance at the rate of 55% for small and marginal farmers and at the rate of 45% for other Farmers for installation of Drip and Sprinkler systems. Subsidy support to each farmer is up to 5 hectare. The beneficiary is eligible for subsidy again for the same land after the end of seven years for installation of Micro Irrigation.
