## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b) Flood management including erosion control falls within the purview of the States. Flood management and anti-erosion projects are formulated and implemented by concerned State Governments from own resources 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.

To  strengthen  the  structural  measures  of  flood  management,  Ministry  had  implemented  Flood Management Programme (FMP) during XI & XII Plan for providing Central Assistance to States for works  related  to  flood  control,  anti-erosion,  drainage  development,  anti-sea  erosion,  etc.  which subsequently continued as a component of Flood Management and Border Areas Programme (FMBAP) for the period from 2017-18 to 2020-21 and further extended up to September 2022 with limited outlay. No  central  assistance  is  provided  for  repair  and  maintenance  of  embankments  under  the  FMBAP scheme. However, projects for raising and strengthening of the embankments are considered for funding under the FMBAP Scheme. The data on construction of new embankment is not maintained centrally.

State wise details of funds released for various flood management projects under FMBAP scheme since year 2014 is at Annexure.

(c) Master plans of Manu River and Howrah river of Tripura were prepared by Brahmaputra Board and  approved  by  Government  of  India  in  2004.  Periodic  updation  of  master  plans  are  taken  up  by Brahmaputra Board. Updation of master plan of Howrah river has been taken up by Brahmaputra Board in March 2022.
