PMKSY focuses on "Har Khet Ko Pani" and "More Crop Per Drop" to improve irrigation coverage and water use efficiency.
Maximizing Yield with PMKSY
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) has been formulated with the vision of extending the coverage of irrigation and improving water use efficiency. It adopts a focused, end-to-end solution on source creation, distribution, and field application.
Key Components: - Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP): Focus on faster completion of ongoing major and medium irrigation projects. - PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani): Creation of new water sources through minor irrigation and repair of traditional water bodies. - PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop): Promoting micro-irrigation (Drip & Sprinkler) and water conservation activities.
Benefits to Farmers: 1. Guaranteed water supply for crops. 2. Reduced water wastage through efficient irrigation techniques. 3. Increased productivity due to timely and adequate hydration. 4. Financial assistance for installing drip and sprinkler systems.
How to apply: Farmers can apply for micro-irrigation subsidies through their state's dedicated irrigation portal or the district agriculture office.
