2. IRRIGATION SCENERIO
High dependence of Indian economy on the agricultural sector.
50-60% of the population is engaged in meeting the food demands of the country and thereby acquire livelihood and life sustenance.
Out of the 142 million hectares of agricultural land in India, only about 45 percent has the facilities for irrigation.
The rest of the agricultural farm is entirely dependent on rainfall for its water needs

3. IRRIGATION SCENERIO
Delay in rainfall or a failure, spells disaster for the farmers
Shortfalls in crop, hikes the prices of food items followed by social unrest and economical losses
General wellbeing of the people and attached ecosystems and overall economy of the country gets adversely effected.

5. DEVELOPMENT OF IRRIGATION SECTOR
In the First Five Year Plan ( ), the country launched a major irrigation programme.
Number of Multipurpose and Major Projects such as Bhakra Nangal, Nagarjunasagar, Kosi, Chambal, Hirakud, Kakrapar and Tungabhadra were taken up.
During the fifth Plan ( ), Command Area Development Programme was launched as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with the objective of reducing the lag between potential created and optimum utilization of available land and water.
For speedy completion of ongoing projects in advance stage of construction Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) was launched in

17. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)
Har Khet Ko Paani

18. Enhanced farm productivity
Vision
Strategy
Outcome
Increase gross irrigated area
More crop per drop
Access to Irrigation to every farm (Har Khet ko Pani)
Bridging the gap between irrigation potential & utilisation
Enhanced farm productivity
Creating/Strengthening water distribution network
Rural prosperity
Enhance water use efficiency & management

19. Objectives
Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of district level and, if required, sub district level water use plans).
Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani),
Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through appropriate technologies and practices.
Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in duration and extent,
Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop).
Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices

20. Objectives
Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices
Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed approach towards soil and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff, providing livelihood options and other NRM activities.
Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture, and
Attract greater private investments in irrigation.

21. Programme Components (MoWR,RD&GR)
A. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme(AIBP)
To focus on faster completion of ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
B. PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani)
Creation of new water sources through Minor Irrigation
Repair, restoration and renovation of water bodies (Jal Sanchay);
Command area development, strengthening and creation of distribution network from source to the farm;
Ground water development in the areas where it is abundant,
Improvement in water management and distribution system for water bodies.
Diversion of water from source of different location where it is plenty to nearby water scarce areas,
Creating and rejuvenating traditional water storage systems like Jal Mandir (Gujarat); etc. at feasible locations.

22. Programme Components (Other Ministries)
PMKSY(Per Drop More Crop): Ministry of Agriculture
Micro level storage structures, efficient water conveyance & application, precision irrigation systems, topping up of input cost beyond MGNREGA permissible limits, secondary storage, water lifting devices, extension activities, coordination & management .
PMKSY (Watershed): Deptt. of Rural Development
Ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment, soil and moisture conservation, water harvesting structure, livelihood support activities and other watershed works.

23. Thrust Areas of MoWR, RD&GR
Bridging the gap between irrigation potential creation and utilization
Emphasis on Command Area Development
Project benefitting DPAP areas and DDP areas to be assigned higher priority
Completion of priority MMI projects
Judicious use of ground water and recharge of ground water

24. Issues & Constraints
Total requirement of fund to achieve Har Khet Ko Pani will be about Rs lakh crore [Rs lakh/ha for complete chain of activities (Source-Distribution-Application-Extension)] - Current year allocation of Rs crore.
Pending large liabilities under AIBP and IWMP will affect prioritizing projects
Unless precision farming is expanded through Bank finance and NBFCs, coverage will be limited by the total subsidy alone.
Free water, power and subsidy on diesel, is a serious disincentive for adaptation of precision irrigation
Change in funding pattern to 50:50 from the existing level may slow down the pace of implementation
Difficult to ensure appropriate coordination, synergy and convergence at field level in the existing system with diverged heterogeneity in administrative hierarchy

25. Challenges & Way Forward
Compilation of District-wise Data in spatial layers in terms of:
Agricultural Area (Crop-wise)
Area under Irrigation Scheme-wise; existing, ongoing and proposed
Natural water bodies with size
Ground water scenario
Delineation of un-irrigated area
Preparation of schemes for providing irrigation to un-irrigated area; either through extension of existing schemes or introduction of new scheme, through precision irrigation
Impact of watershed development on existing projects and catchment areas of the proposed projects

26. Challenges & Way Forward
Preparation of District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) ensuring convergence of all the schemes of the three Line Miniseries and resolving trans-boundary issues
Prioritization of various schemes in DIPs in terms of return values
Options available through interlinking of Rivers for water deficit areas
Exploring Funding Options
Making the irrigation sector self sustainable through participation of Private sectors
Implementation of water sector reforms
Socio-political issues in terms of prioritization and completion of schemes

27. Session directed to house
The session is dedicated to generate discussion on delivering its vision oriented objectives,
Effeciency enhancement
Use of pipe net work in ERM project
Use of micro irrigation
PPP for farmers benefit
Use of volumetric measurement technique
Change in mindset of states to adopt Micro irrigation
Mode of disbursement of funding,
Way forward for its successful implementation.
Suggestions to further improve or augment the scheme.
