- 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.
Components of PMKSY
The major components of PMKSY are listed below:
1.Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Program (AIBP):
To concentrate on speedier fulfilment of continuous Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
2.Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP):
Creation of new water sources through minor water system (both surface and groundwater) Repair, reclamation, and redesign of conventional water bodies Charge range advancement Fortifying and production of dispersion organized from sources to the ranch and Creating and rejuvenating traditional water storage systems like Jal Mandir (Gujarat); Khatri, Kuhl (H.P.); Zabo (Nagaland); Eri, Ooranis (T.N.); Dongs (Assam); Katas, Bandhas (Odisha and M.P.), etc. at feasible locations.
3.Per Drop More Crop (PDMC):
Improving the efficiency of water usage by various initiatives like precision water application devices, construction of micro-irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities including tube wells and dug wells, etc
4.Watershed Development (WD):
Ridge territory treatment, seepage line treatment, soil and dampness protection, water reaping and other watershed intercessions.
Ministries Involved in PMKSY
1.Ministry of Agriculture– Promote efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips, sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm “(Jal Sinchan)”, construction of micro-irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities, extension activities for the promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures
2.MoWR RD & GR– Undertake various measures for creation of assured irrigation source, construction of diversion canals, field channels, water diversion/lift irrigation, including the development of water distribution systems
3.Ministry of Rural Development– Mainly undertakes rainwater conservation, construction of farm pond, water harvesting structures, small check dams, and contour bunding, etc.
