Here are the details of Water Management System under PMKSY

During the post independence era, a large number of irrigation projects were constructed for increasing agricultural production in   the country.   However, during early seventies analysis of irrigation potential created and utilised revealed that there was a substantial gap between them.

To fill the gap, the Government of India initiated a Centrally Sponsored Command Area Development Programme (CADP) in December 1974 to improve irrigation potential utilisation and optimise agricultural production from irrigated land through integrated and coordinated approach of efficient water management.

Objectives:

  • Enforcement of warabandi, land levelling and shaping, realignment of field boundaries/ consolidation of holdings.
  • Introduction of suitable cropping patterns, strengthening of extension services etc.
  • Farmers’ participation and reclamation of waterlogged.

Eligibility:

Eligible Farmers:

  • Farmers involved in irrigation.

Eligible Organization:

  • States which levy charges on water and electricity for irrigation.
  • States who wants to facilitate water management facility.

Benefits:

Financial Assistance for command area development.
