## ( SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU )

(a) Pre-feasibility  report  (PFR)  of  a  proposed  project  on  Irrigation,  flood  control  and  drainage  in  Saran district (phase 1) submitted by Government of Bihar, is currently under appraisal in Central Water Commission (CWC). The compliance on observations raised by CWC is awaited from Government of Bihar. Based on the same,  process  for  acceptance  of  the  PFR  can  be  taken  up  by  the  screening  committee  of  CWC  to  enable preparation of detailed project report by the State Government.

(b) & (c) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with an  aim  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. It is an umbrella scheme,  consisting  of  two  major  components  being  implemented  by  this  Ministry,  namely,  Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists of four subcomponents,  being  Command  Area  Development  &  Water  Management  (CAD&WM),  Surface  Minor Irrigation  (SMI),  Repair,  Renovation  and  Restoration  (RRR)  of  Water  Bodies,  and  Ground  Water  (GW) Development component. In addition, PMKSY also consists of Watershed Development component (WDC) which is being implemented by Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development.

Per  Drop  More  Crop  (PDMC)  component  being  implemented  by  Department  of  Agriculture  and Farmers  Welfare  was  also  a  component  of  PMKSY  during  2016-21,  which  is  now  being  implemented separately.

Further in December, 2021, implementation of PMKSY for the period of 2021-22 to 2025-26 has been approved by Govt. of India with an outlay of Rs. 93,068 crore.

State-wise irrigation potential created (in thousand hectare) made under various components of PMKSY during the period 2016-2023 is given below.
