In order to provide water to the fields of every farmer in the country, the Central Government started the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Irrigation Scheme in the year 2015. For irrigation in a large part of the country’s agriculture, farmers have to face extremely difficult problems. To overcome this problem of farmers, an irrigation scheme was launched. Under this scheme, farmers of the country get subsidy on equipment for irrigation of their fields. A provision of Rs 11,588 crore has been made in the budget for this scheme in the general budget presented on the first date of February.
According to the Economic Survey 2017-18, a total of 14.2 million hectares of land is cultivated in India. Of this, 52 percent is dependent on irregular irrigation and rain. The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Irrigation Yojana is a scheme coordinated by the Center and the state government. Under this, 75 percent grant is given by the center and 25 percent is spent by the state government. Under this, farmers also get the benefit of irrigation schemes like drip / sprinkler.
At the same time, the central government bears 90 percent of the expenditure in high-altitude agricultural areas and the state governments 10 percent. Wherever there is less water for irrigation, its goal is to fix the distribution. Ground water development, the work of transporting water through lift irrigation is also done under this scheme.
