(a)  to  (c) Flood  management  and  irrigarion  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 promotional financial assistance.

To strengthen the structural measures of flood management, Union Government had implemented Flood Management Programme (FMP) during XI & XII Plans for providing central assistance to States for  works  related  to  flood  control,  anti-erosion,  drainage  development,  anti-sea  erosion,  etc.  which subsequently  continued  as  a  component  of  'Flood  Management  and  Border  Areas  Programme (FMBAP)' for the period from 2017-18 to 2020-21 and during 2021-22 to 2025-26.

Total  522  flood  management  projects  covering  25  States/UTs  with  an  estimated  cost  of  Rs. 13238.37  Crore  were  included  during  XI  and  XII  plan  and  7  new  flood  management  projects  of  six states with an estimated cost of Rs. 2573.80 crore have been included under FMP component of FMBAP during 2021-26. Total central assistance amounting to Rs. 7260.50 crore and Rs 1477.15 crore has been released  under  FMP  and  River  Management  and  Border  Area  (RMBA)  component  respectively  to various states upto March 2025.

Total 431 projects under FMP component of FMBAP have been completed in various States which give protection to an area of around 5.13 Mha and protected a population of about 54.84 million.

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched during the year 2015-16, with the 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. PMKSY 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).

Further, a special package for completion of 8 MMI and 83 surface minor irrigation (SMI) projects of  Maharashtra,  having  estimated  balance  cost  of  Rs.  13,651.61  crore  as  on  April,  2018,  has  been approved during 2018-19 for financial assistance by Government of India.
