## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *64 TO BE ANSWERED ON 07.12.2023 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'NEW PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY'

(a)  to  (c) Yes  Sirs.  PradhanMantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana  (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. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) is one of the components of PMKSY.

At the inception of AIBP under PMKSY in 2016, financial assistance under the scheme was restricted to the identified 99 priority major and medium irrigation projects and 7 phases. However, while approving continuation  of  PMKSY-AIBP  for  the  period  2021-2026,  provision  for  inclusion  of  other  major, medium irrigation projects under PMKSY-AIBP, including extension-renovation-modernization (ERM) projects, has also been approved.

The  eligibility  criteria  for  inclusion  under  the  PMKSY-AIBP,  inter-alia,  require  the  projects  to  have investment  clearance  by  this  Ministry.  Further,  the  project  should  also  be  in  advanced  stage  of construction,  having  at  least  50%  overall  physical  progress,  except  for  either  extension-  renovationmodernization  projects,  or  projects  having  command  in  certain  special  category  areas.  The  detailed eligibility  criteria  and  procedure  required  to  be  followed  for  inclusion  of  such  additional  projects, including  those  on  rivers  in  Andhra  Pradesh  and  Telangana,  have  been  laid  down  in  detail  in  the guidelines of PMKSY-AIBP which is available at the website of the Ministry.

Out of the 99 priority projects (and seven phases) taken up under PMKSY-AIBP in 2016, 54 projects have been reported complete so far. Out of balance priority projects, 21 projects have progress of more than 90% and 13 projects have progress between 80 to 90%. Under these projects, 25.11 lakh hectare additional irrigation potential has been created during 2016-17 to 2022-23. State wise details of status of these projects, fund sanctioned, and irrigation potential created through these projects, including projects of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, are placed at Annexure-I .

Further, 8 new major/ medium and ERM projects have been included under PMKSY-AIBP subsequent to the approval of continuation of PMKSY-AIBP for the period 2021-2026. Statewise details of status of these  projects,  fund  sanctioned  and  irrigation  potential  created  through  these  projects,  are  placed  at Annexure-II .
