THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES (SHRI JAI PRAKASH NARAYAN YADAV)
Irrigation being a State subject, the irrigation projects are
planned, formulated, executed and funded by the State
Governments out of their own resources and as per their
priorities. Central assistance is released in the form of
block loans and grants not tied to any sector of development
or project. As large number of major and medium irrigation
projects in the country are languishing due to various
reasons, the most important of them being financial
constraints of the State Governments, the Central Government
during 1996-97 launched the Accelerated Irrigation Benefits
Programme (AIBP) to provide Central Loan Assistance (CLA) to
approved ongoing major/medium irrigation projects with the
objective to accelerate implementation of these projects which
are beyond the resource capability of the states or are in an
advanced stage of completion. The state-wise details of
CLA/grant released under AIBP for the last three years are
given in the statement enclosed. No CLA/grant under AIBP has
been released to States during 2005-06.
