## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR  WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT AND GANGA REJUVENATION

(DR.  SANJEEV KUMAR BALYAN)

(a) to  (d) Water  resources  projects  are  planned,  funded,  executed  and  maintained  by  the  State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priority. In order to supplement the efforts of the  State  Governments,  Ministry  of  Water  Resources,  River  Development  &  Ganga  Rejuvenation (MoWR,  RD  &  GR)  provides  financial  assistance  to  State  Governments  to  encourage  sustainable development  and  efficient  management  of  water  resources  through  Accelerated  Irrigation  Benefits Programme  (AIBP)  scheme  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (PMKSY).  Target  for potential creation in the State are set by concerned States.

Details of irrigation potential created and Central Assistance (CA) released under AIBP is given at Annexure-I .

As per Land Use Statistic available at Ministry of Agriculture's website; the details of state-wise net irrigated and unirrigated area is given at Annexure-II .

Pradhan Mantri Krishi SinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) has been launched during 2015-16 to serve as  a  platform  for  convergence  of  investments  in  irrigation  through  comprehensive  District  and  State irrigation  Plans.  The  focus  is  on  improving  water  use  efficiency  at  farm  level  and  bridging  the  gap between irrigation potential created and utilization.

Ninety    nine    (99)  Major/medium  Irrigation  Projects  having  potential  of  76.03  lakh  ha.  have been identified in consultation with states, to be completed in phases by Dec., 2019. For completion of these projects in a mission mode, innovative funding mechanism through NABARD is envisaged.
