A Scheme for water management and conservation

“Water is the force that drives all of nature.” -Leonardo da Vinci

India is lucky to have 4% of the world’s water. Still, we are running out of water. We are going through the worst water crisis in history. Sources say that more than 600 million people don’t have water. This has also had a big effect on the irrigation industry.

In 2015, the government of India started a programme called Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayi Yojana (PMKSY). This plan was put in place to help manage and save water for irrigation. With the help of this plan, farmers will be able to grow crops on a larger area. It will also help the country use less water than it wastes.

This plan was made by putting together plans that were already in place, such as:

On-Farm Water Management
Integrated Watershed Management Programme
River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation
Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme

PMKSY focuses on getting water from rain to use as a source. It will happen on a small scale through the “Jal Sinchan” and “Jal Sanchay” systems. Subsidies will also be used to encourage microirrigation. This will guarantee that “Per Drop More Crop.”

The motto

India has 200.8 million hectares of land that can be used for farming. Only 95,8 million hectares, or 48% of the land, are used for irrigation. Because there isn’t enough water, the other 52% of the land isn’t used for irrigation.

India’s farmers mostly use rainwater to water their crops. When it rains less, crops produce less. Shri Narendra Modi, our Prime Minister, started this programme to help farmers with all of their problems.

Objectives

Expand the area that can be farmed and make it easier for farmers to get to irrigation facilities (Har Khet Ko Pani).
Use water on the farm more efficiently and waste less water.
Use the right technologies to connect water sources, make them more efficient, and get water to where it needs to go.
Promote and improve the use of precision irrigation
Improve and promote technologies that save water.
Improve the refilling of aquifers and protect water sources that can be relied on.
Use different ways to develop areas that are fed by rain. Among these are:

Groundwater is getting better.
The watershed method is a way to save soil and water.
Stop the runoff
Give natural resource management activities and ways to make a living.

Encourage field workers and farmers to do things (extensions) like:

Crop alignment
Water Management
Water Harvesting

Draw a significant private investment right into the framework of the irrigation system. It will make people more productive and make more things. This will bring in more money for farms.

Program application

1. State Level

At the state level, PMKSY is put into place by the state department of agriculture. Under it, the ministries decide on the rest of the parts.
IDWG suggests the projects and activities, and the state-level sanctioning committee (SLSC) approves them.

2. National Level

There are two main groups that make decisions at the national level. It has a National Executive Committee (NEC) and a National Steering Committee (NSC), which are in charge of how the programme is used.
At the execution level, the ministry of water resources’ ABIP and CADWM are in charge of making sure the project is done and is being checked. This committee is in charge of managing the projects’ resources, adjusting between different levels of government, and keeping an eye on how things are going.
This plan also includes a test of general performance and talks about executive issues.
The chair is the Honorable Prime Minister. The main members are the Union Ministers and the Ministries in charge.

3. District level

The district-level implementation committee is in charge of running the PMKSY projects in each district. On the other hand, the Zila Parishad or the DRDA district collector is in charge of the DLIC.

Program Components

1. AIBP- by using the capability of MoWR, RD & GR,

To help Major and Medium Irrigation National Projects that are already going on.

2. PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani) via MoWR, RD &GR

Creating new sources of water.
Minor Irrigation is used both on the ground and in the groundwater.
Fix, fix up, and fix up the water bodies. For now, start the process of finding water sources.
To build a system to collect rainwater (Jal Sanchay).
To set up a delivery area from the source to the farm.
To get the on-hand allowance, which farmers don’t use to their fullest potential anymore.
Water is taken from its source and sent to different places. So, scarred places will get a lot of water.
Getting water for irrigation from bodies of water or rivers.
Building and improving water storage structures like the Jal Mandir in Gujarat, Khatri and Kuhl in Himachal Pradesh, and many more.

3. PMKSY (Watershed) via MoRD

Building up people’s skills, treating the drift area, doing things at the entry point, and treating the drainage line.
Taking care of nurseries, planting trees, and managing horticulture.
Make sure that people with no assets have access to pasture development and a way to make a living.
Making tools for small and struggling farmers.
Effective ways to deal with rainwater, like field bending and contour bunding or trenching.
Right management of levelling the land, digging trenches in stages, putting down mulch, etc.

Building systems to collect water, such as check dams, tanks, nala bunds, farm ponds, etc.

4. PMKSY(Per drop greater crop) with MoA

To run plans for State/District Irrigation programmes.
To keep an eye on the action plans and approve them every year.
Encourage the use of water applications that don’t make mistakes.
Help water move around in a good way.
Getting the input fees for civil construction projects to go down.
Micro-irrigation structures will be built.
To dig and tube wells that PMKSY doesn’t support (WR).
Water lifting equipment like diesel/ electric/ image voltaic pump sets.
Align your crops so that you can use the water you already have.
Capacity building and education to help people use water grants in all the ways that are possible through technology.
Practices in agronomy and management, such as local irrigation.
Using methods like pipe and container outlet systems that are new and better.

The PMKSY scheme is a big help from the Indian government. It has helped a lot of farmers and given them new opportunities.
