Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana<br />

The government <strong>of</strong> India is committed to accord high priority to water conservation and its<br />

management. To this effect, Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) has been<br />

formulated with the vision <strong>of</strong> extending the coverage <strong>of</strong> irrigation “Har Khet ko Pani” and<br />

improving water use efficiency “More Crop Per Drop” The Cabinet Committee on Economic<br />

Affairs chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister has accorded approval <strong>of</strong> PMKSY in its meeting<br />

held on 1 st July 2015. The major objective <strong>of</strong> PMKSY is to achieve convergence <strong>of</strong> investments<br />

in irrigation at the field level, expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm<br />

water use efficiency to reduce wastage <strong>of</strong> water, enhance the adoption <strong>of</strong> precision-irrigation<br />

and other water-saving technologies, enhance recharge <strong>of</strong> aquifers and introduce sustainable<br />

water conservation practices by exploring the feasibility <strong>of</strong> reusing treated municipal waste<br />

water for peri-urban agriculture and attract greater private investment in the precision irrigation<br />

system.<br />

PMKSY has been conceived by amalgamating earlier schemes viz. Accelerated Irrigation<br />

Benefit Programme (AIBP) <strong>of</strong> the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Water Resources, River Development & Ganga<br />

Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD&GR), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) <strong>of</strong><br />

the Department <strong>of</strong> Land Resources (DoLR) and On Farm Water Management (OFWM) <strong>of</strong><br />

Department <strong>of</strong> Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC). The scheme will be implemented by the<br />

Ministries <strong>of</strong> Agriculture, Water Resources, and Rural Development. Ministry <strong>of</strong> Rural<br />

Institutional and policy innovations for accelerated and enhanced impacts<br />
