## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a)  &  (b) Crop,  land  and  life  damage  data  of  State  due  to  floods  is  not  maintained  centrally. 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. Ghatal Master Plan has not been included under Flood Management Programme (FMP) component of Flood Management and Border Area Programme (FMBAP) for not fulfilling the criteria for inclusion, namely, 'Projects from only  those  States  may  be  included  who  have  implemented  Flood  Plain  Zoning  (FPZ)  either  through  a legislation or through an appropriate Executive Order'.

(c) The  State-wise  details  of  funds  released  under  Flood  Management  and  Border  Areas  Programme (FMBAP) is given at Annexure.
