SHRI RAM TAHAL CHOUDHARY:

Will the Minister of  PLANNING be pleased to state:

(b)     the funds allocated for the above mentioned purpose under the programme during the                             	said period State/UT-wise?

**ANSWER**

MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MINISTRY OF PLANNING

AND MINISTER OF STATE FOR DEFENCE

(RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

(a):      Under the Bharat Nirman programme, State Governments have informed that an area of 	    	13.462 million hectare has been brought under irrigation in various States from April 2005 	to March 2013. The State/UT-wise details including Rajasthan and Jharkhand is enclosed 	at Annexure I.

(b):     There was no separate allocation of funds for the Bharat Nirman Programme. As per the 	Constitution, irrigation is a State Subject and planning, funding and implementation of 	irrigation projects are primarily the responsibility of the States. However, Central 	Government provided assistance under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme 	(AIBP) to the States for the completion of ongoing major, medium, ERM and surface minor 	irrigation schemes. Details of funds released during the last three years under the 	Programme is enclosed at Annexure II.
