## ANSWER

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

(PROF. SANWAR LAL JAT)

(a) & (b)  Yes Madam. The investment in the irrigation sector has been increased from Rs. 50655 crore in the year 2011-12 to Rs. 77881 crore in 2013-14. State/UT-wise details are at Annexure-I. However,  figures  regarding year 2014-15 are not available with the Niti Aayog.

3. Irrigation development, planning, execution, operation & maintenance of irrigation projects are carried out by the State Governments from their own resources and as per their own requirements and priority of works. However, Government of India provides Central Assistance under Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP).
