The programme aims at end-to end solutions in irrigation supply chain, viz. water sources, distribution network and farm level applications. All the States and Union territories are covered under the programme. The scheme envisages decentralized state level planning and projectised execution, allowing the states to draw their irrigation development plans based on district/blocks plans with a horizon of 5 to 7 years. The scheme has four components which are as under:
- i. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme(AIBP): To focus on faster completion of ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
- ii. Har Khet Ko Pani(HKKP): Creation of new water sources to minor irrigation (both surface  and  ground  water); repair,  restoration  &  renovation  of  traditional  water bodies;  command  area  development;  strengthening  and  creation  of  distribution network from sources to the farm etc.
- iii. Per  Drop  More  Crop(PDMC): Precision irrigation systems, efficient water conveyance & application, micro level storage structures, topping up of input cost beyond Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) permissible limits, secondary storage, water lifting devices, extension activities, coordination & management etc..
- iv. Watershed  Development(WD): Ridge  area  treatment,  drainage  line  treatment, soil and moisture conservation, rainwater harvesting and other watershed interventions.
