This scheme was launched on 1st July, 2015 with the motto of “Har Khet Ko Paani” and is being implemented to expand cultivated area with assured irrigation, reduce wastage of water and improve water use efficiency. PMKSY not only focuses on creating sources for assured irrigation, but also creating protective irrigation by harnessing rain water at micro level through “Jal Sanchay” and “Jal Sinchan”. Micro irrigation is also incentivized through subsidy to ensure “Per drop-More crop”.
Water conservation and cutting down on wastage is the key to bring irrigation facilities to every farm by introduction of sustainable water conservation practices and optimization of water resources through micro irrigation (Per Drop More Crop) which are as important as introduction of new irrigation schemes. The Govt. of India has sanctioned the Annual Action Plan of Rs. 26.22 crore for implementation of the scheme during the financial year 2023-24. The first installment is awaited under the scheme.
