## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) & (b) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *131 TO BE ANSWERED ON 13.02.2025 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'FUNDS FOR PMKSY'

(a)  & (b) The  Government of India launched a pilot scheme titled 'Repair, Renovation, and Restoration of Water  Bodies'  in  January  2005  (X  Plan)  to  restore  water  bodies  directly  linked  to  agriculture.   The  main objective of the pilot scheme was to restore and augment the storage capacities of water bodies and to recover and extend their lost irrigation potential.

Following the success of the pilot scheme, two schemes of RRR, one with domestic support and other with  external  assistance  were  launched  during  XI  Plan  (2007-12).   The  scheme  with  external  assistance  was implemented by the Department of Economic Affair.

The continuation of the Repair, Renovation & Restoration of Water Bodies during the XII Plan (201217)  was  approved  by  the  Union  Government  in  September  2013.  However,  in  2015-16,  the  Government  of India  approved  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (PMKSY)  scheme  by  consolidating  several ongoing  initiatives,  including  the  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits  Programme  (AIBP),  Command  Area Development  &  Water  Management  (CADWM),  Surface  Minor  Irrigation  (SMI),  Repair,  Rejuvenation  & Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies, Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), and the Micro Irrigation  component  of  On  Farm  Water  Management  (OFWM).  The  primary  objective  of  PMKSY  is  to enhance physical access to water for farms, expand cultivable areas under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency, and promote sustainable water conservation practices.

Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) is one of the key components of PMKSY. The Surface Minor Irrigation and RRR of Water Bodies schemes were incorporated as part of PMKSY-HKKP for implementation during 20162021, with an outlay of Rs. 3550 crores. The ongoing SMI and RRR of Water Bodies schemes, which were considered for central assistance during the XI and XII Plans, were also continued under PMKSY-HKKP.

Further, Government of India has also approved the continuation of PMKSY with HKKP as one of its components for the period 2021-2026. The Surface Minor Irrigation and RRR of Water Bodies schemes have been  included  under  PMKSY-HKKP  with  an  outlay  of  Rs.  4580  crores.  Details  of  the  central  assistance provided under PMKSY-HKKP for RRR of Water Bodies schemes to the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu during the last ten years and the current year are given in Annexure.
