PMKSY is an umbrella scheme, consisting of two major components implemented by this Ministry, namely, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP). HKKP, in turn, consists of four sub-components, being Command Area Development & Water Management (CAD&WM), Surface Minor Irrigation (SMI), Repair, Renovation and Restoration (RRR) of Water Bodies, and Ground Water (GW) Development component.

In addition, PMKSY also consists of two components being implemented by Ministries other than Jal Shakti Ministry.

Water resources projects are planned, funded, executed, and maintained by the State Governments themselves as per their own resources and priorities. Role of Government of India is limited to providing technical support and, in some cases, partial financial assistance under the existing schemes implemented by the Government of India.

The State Governments are themselves mandated to address the monitoring and redressal mechanisms to ensure maintenance and quality control of irrigation projects being implemented by them. Further, Central Water Commission as well as a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU) under this Ministry has also been mandated to regularly monitor the projects receiving central assistance from this Ministry. Physical and financial progress of these projects is monitored through a dedicated dashboard, backed with a Management Information System being maintained by Ministry of Jal Shakti.

Apart from the above, implementation and progress of the projects is also monitored at the highest level in this Ministry. Secretary, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti takes project-wise periodic reviews of physical and financial progress of the projects and actions to be taken by the various State Governments are finalized for early resolution of issues. Review meetings are also held from time to time at the level of Hon’ble Minister, Jal Shakti.

This Information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Bishweswar Tudu in a written  reply in Rajya Sabha today.
