Pradhan
Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojna
In India, micro-irrigation subsidy is covered under the
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojna (known as PMKSY), which was launched on 1st of
July 2015 with an intention to encourage micro-irrigation and promote its benefits
through heavier subsidies based on the category of farmers. It aims at
relieving farmers off the initial irrigation investment burden to a
considerable extent. PMKSY is a multi-focused plan comprised of 4 elements.
- Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Program: It
involves loan assistance to states to help them complete the incomplete
major/ medium-sized irrigation projects that were at an advanced
completion of the stage, thus accelerating the execution of the irrigation
projects.
- PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani): This
refers to increase the cultivable land area under assured irrigation, and
also increase the physical access of water on the farm.
- PMKSY (More Crop Per Drop): The
focus here is improving water use efficiency in an organized and focused
manner.
- PMKSY (Watershed Development): This
program focuses on prudent utilization of water and land resources,
through various mediums such as prevention of soil erosion, increasing
crop productivity, harvesting rainwater, etc.
Through the micro-irrigation subsidy proposition that falls
under the Per Drop More Crop element of PMKSY, both state and the central
government, on an average, contribute to 55% and 45% of the total finances
incurred in setting up irrigation systems for small and marginal farmers and
for other farmers respectively. Nevertheless, state-specific variations exist.
