## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (d) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *152 TO BE ANSWERED ON 05.12.2024 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'AVAILABILITY OF WATER UNDER PMKSY'.

(a) Yes. 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, 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.

Further, in December, 2021, implementation of PMKSY for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26 has been approved  by  Government  of  India.  However,  approval  of  Ground  Water  component  under  PMKSYHKKP  has  provisionally  been  accorded  till  2021-22  only  for  committed  liabilities,  which  has  been extended subsequently till completion of ongoing works. 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) is being implemented by Department of Land Resources (DoLR)

AIBP  component  focuses  on  completion  of  major  and  medium  and  Extension,  Renovation  and Modernisation (ERM) projects for creation of new irrigation potential/restoration of irrigation potential in the country. CAD&WM is dedicated to command area development for bridging gap between irrigation potential created and its utilization and improving on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage. HKKPSMI and RRR deal with minor irrigation projects for enhancement of physical access of water on the farm and  expansion  of  cultivable  area  under  assured  irrigation.  PDMC  deals  with     adoption  of  precisionirrigation such as Drip and sprinkler and other water saving technologies. WDC works toward integrated development of rainfed areas towards soil and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff  and  promoting  extension  activities  relating  to  water  harvesting,  water  management  and  crop alignment for farmers etc.

(b) Ninety-Nine (99) ongoing Major/Medium Irrigation Projects (MMI) (and 7 phases) spread in 18 States  were  identified  under  PMKSY-AIBP  during  2016-17  along  with  pari-passu  implementation  of CAD&WM in 88 projects, in consultation with States, to be completed in phases. 62 MMI projects have been reported completed under PMKSY-AIBP with creation of 25.80 lakh hectare of irrigation potential through these projects during 2016-24 against balance irrigation potential of 34.64 lakh hectare. Command area development of 19.28 lakh hectare has been achieved during 2016-24.

Nine (09) new MMI/ERM projects have been included in the scheme since 2021-22. The targeted potential  to  be  created  by  these  projects  is  4.01  lakh  hectare.  The  irrigation  potential  created  from  the newly included projects under PMKSY-AIBP during 2021-22 to 2023-24 is 0.31 lakh hectare.

Irrigation potential creation during 2016-17 to 2020-21 under HKKP-SMI and RRR was targeted to 3.50 lakh hectare,  against  which  3.89  lakh  hectare  irrigation  potential  was  achieved.  Further,  target  for irrigation  potential  creation  during  2021-22  to  2025-26  under  PMKSY-HKKP-SMI  and  RRR  has  been kept as 4.5 lakh hectare.  75.32 thousand hectare irrigation potential has been created under HKKP-SMI and RRR during 2021-22 to 2023-24.

Further, an area of 84.11 lakh hectares has been covered under Micro Irrigation under the PDMC Scheme being implemented by DoA&FW during 2016-24. Also, a total of 9,364 projects in 89.23 lakh hectare area have been taken up by Department of Land under Watershed Development Component of PMKSY.

State-wise details of physical progress made so far under various components of PMKSY is shown in Annexure.

Physical  progress  made  so  far  in  the  States  of  Maharashtra  and  Madhya  Pradesh  under  PMKSYAIBP, CADWM and other components of PMKSY is shown as below:
