Question
Through which of the following ways the PMKSY Scheme is
implemented? The State government and the Centre are working to resolve financial constraints that have left a major irrigation project such as Jigaon incomplete, by bringing it under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). The initiative came at a recent meeting between Union minister Nitin Gadkari and state Water Resources Minister Jayant Patil. Gadkari said, “Apart from 26 irrigation projects shortlisted under PMKSY, we want to add a few more to expedite its work and resolve financial problems.” High on the list is Jigaon irrigation project. Even after 23 years, the second biggest irrigation project Jigaon, in drought-hit district Buldhana in western Vidarbha region, has failed to make much headway. As a result, the promise of bringing one lakh hectares of land under irrigation is still a distant dream.Solution
PMKSY is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (Core Scheme) launched in 2015. Centre- States will be 75:25 per cent. In the case of the north-eastern region and hilly states, it will be 90:10. Its objectives are: Convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level, To expand the cultivable area under assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani), To improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage of water, To enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop), To enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices by exploring the feasibility of reusing treated municipal based water for peri-urban agriculture and attract greater private investment in a precision irrigation system. It is formulated by amalgamating ongoing schemes: o Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) -Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation. o Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) - Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development. o On-Farm Water Management (OFWM) - Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC). Implementation - Decentralised implementation through State Irrigation Plan and District Irrigation Plan.
