## PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY IN KARNATAKA

## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. *16 TO BE ANSWERED ON 29.01.2026 IN LOK SABHA REGARDING 'PROJECTS UNDER PMKSY IN KARNATAKA'

(a) & (b) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) launched during the year 2015-16, aims to enhance physical access of water on farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve onfarm water use efficiency, introduce sustainable water conservation practices, etc.

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 (GW).  However,  during  approval  for  continuation  of  PMKSY  during  2021-26,  GW  component  was approved only for committed liabilities.

In  addition,  Watershed  Development  component  (WDC)  of  PMKSY  is  being  implemented  by Department  of  Land  Resources  (DoLR).  Further,  Per  Drop  More  Crop  (PDMC)  was  implemented  by Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (DoA& FW) under the umbrella of PMKSY during 201622, which is now being implemented by DoA&FW under Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (PM-RKVY).

Component wise details of projects sanctioned and implemented under PMKSY-AIBP and HKKP, being  implemented  by  Ministry  of  Jal  Shakti,  in  Karnataka  during  the  last  five  years,  are  given  at Annexure-I. However, these components do not benefit Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka.

Further,  an  area  of  13.51  lakh  hectares  has  been  covered  under  micro-irrigation  in  the  state  of Karnataka during last five years through PDMC scheme being implemented by DoA&FW, which includes 0.27  lakh  hectares  in  the  Chikkaballapur  district  of  Karnataka.  In  addition,  78  watershed  development projects  covering  an  area  of  3.29  lakh  hectare  have  been  sanctioned  in  Karnataka,  including  one  project covering an area of 3960.77 hectare in Chikkaballapur, under the WDC component being implemented by DoLR.

Further, Government of India has also approved the Modernization of  Command  Area Development and Water Management (MCADWM) for the period 2025-2026 at an initial total outlay of Rs. 1600 crores to undertake pilot projects across the States/UTs. The scheme aims for modernization of the irrigation  water  supply  network  to  supply  of  irrigation  water  from  existing  canals  or  other  sources  in  a designated cluster. Two projects of Karnataka have been sanctioned under the MCADWM. Details of these projects/clusters are as under:

| S.No.   | Name of Project                                   | District   |   Targeted CCA (Hectare) |

- (c) & (d) Under the present finance commission cycle, PMKSY, is up to 2025-26. The State-wise details of the total irrigation potential created under the Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) component of PMKSY since its inception including surface minor irrigation and groundwater interventions is given in Annexure-II.
- (e) Yes.  The  PMKSY-HKKP  encourage  conjunctive  use  of  surface  and  ground  water  for  creation  of irrigation infrastructure, enhance water use efficiency and augment irrigation sources. The States/UTs may formulate and implement projects for the reuse of treated waste-water for agricultural purposes based on local requirements, availability of treated water, compliance with environmental and water quality norms, and techno-economic viability.
