24. Thank you

25. Way Forward
The entire scheme of AIBP, CAD and RRR are now part of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana to fulfill the objective of “Har Khet Ko Pani”.
Scheme is now streamlined after detailed deliberations at Jal Manthan and discussions held by Hon’ble Minister with States.
The proposals are ripe for releases. Major constraints being lack of funds.

26. Reason for Low Expenditure
12th Plan schemes EFC approval got delayed and received after a long time. As a result, the expenditure in the new schemes and the new components in the on going schemes was not incurred.
Maximum Works of the Ministry starts after the rainy season, resulting in curtailment of BE at RE stage.
Under the Centrally sponsored schemes, the states submitted the proposal after provision made in the State Budget in the month of Oct. to Dec. due to which at the stage of RE the Ministry of Finance curtailed the Budget.
Due to curtailment of RE to 40% of BE , the committed liabilities as per MoU could not be honoured.

27. Steps to augment expenditure
Hon’ble Minister reviewing Expenditure on the weekly basis in Senior Officers Meeting.
Jal Manthan was initiated in the month of Nov and as a result of which modification was made in the Centrally Sponsored Schemes.
Regular communication with Finance Ministry / PMO for enhancing allocation to discharge out standing liabilities in Centrally Sponsored Schemes.
For smooth functioning and transparency in the implementation of AIBP schemes, proposal submission started online from ,
All historical data uploaded on Web.

28. SUGGESTIONS
Ministry needs a serious reconsideration, to meet the genuine needs of the states as per approved pattern of AIBP.
Funds require for Ken –Betwa Link to be started this Year.
More Funds require for Polavaram Project, It is the committed liability of GOI as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014.
The commitments of present Govt. “ SAB KA SATH SAB KA VIKAS” where Water plays a vital role by providing “ HAR KHET KO PANI” would be inline, for which the Finance Ministry should look into the needs which are not fulfilling due to paucity of funds.
