## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## ( SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY )

(a) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with an aim and objective to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation,  improve  on-farm  water  use  efficiency,  introduce  sustainable  water  conservation  practices,  etc. Under PMKSY, various measures for creation of assured irrigation source, construction of diversion canals, field  channels,  water  diversion/lift  irrigation,  including  development  of  water  distribution  systems  are undertaken.

PMKSY  is  an  umbrella  scheme,  consisting  of  two  major  components  being  implemented  by Ministry of Jal Shakti, namely, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists  of  Command Area  Development  and  Water  Management  (CADWM), Surface Minor Irrigation scheme (SMI), Repair-Renovation-Restoration of water bodies (RRR), and Ground Water Management. However, Ground Water Management has been since discontinued.

In  addition,  Watershed  Development  component  (WDC)  of  PMKSY  is  being  implemented  by Department of Land Resources. Further, Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) was implemented by Department of Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare  (DoA&  FW)  under  the  umbrella  of  PMKSY  during  2016-22,  which  is now being  implemented by DoA& FW under Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (RKVY).

(b) & (c) Details of funds released to Andhra Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh under the PMKSY during the last four years and the current year, year-wise, are tabulated below:
