STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (A) TO (F) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.93 FOR ANSWER ON 12-07-2004 REGARDING PENDING IRRIGATION PROJECTS

(a) to (f) The Ministry of Water Resources/Central Water Commission and Planning Commission reviews the status of on- going/pending irrigation projects of the states from time to time with the representatives of the State Governments. The Central Water Commission is regularly monitoring selected on going major and medium irrigation projects.

The State-wise details of major and medium irrigation projects lying pending with the Central Water Commission for techno-economic appraisal are given in the Annexure - I. The common reasons for delay in clearance of major and medium irrigation projects are inadequate technological studies, irrigation planning, estimate and economic analysis, lack of attention to international and inter- State aspects, conjunctive use of surface and ground water, concurrence of state finance, absence of environmental and forest clearances, clearances of resettlement & rehabilitation plans, etc. while submitting detailed project report to Central Water Commission. The clearance of projects depends upon the promptness with which the State authorities arrange the compliance to the observations of the Central appraising agencies.

Concerned with a large number of major and medium irrigation projects spilling over into Ninth Five Year Plan, the Central Government launched the Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) during 1996-1997 for accelerating implementation of such ongoing irrigation/multi-purpose approved projects on which substantial progress has been made and which are beyond the resource capability of the State Governments. The Central Loan Assistance (CLA) under AIBP is released to the State Government on an year to year basis as per the ceiling fixed by the Planning Commission and this ceiling is finalised in the annual plan discussion held between the Planning Commission and State Government. An amount of Rs. 14,670 crore has, so far, been released as CLA under the programme for 181 major/medium and 3810 surface Minor Irrigation Schemes. The details of CLA under AIBP is given in the Annxeure II.
