THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

(SHRI BISHWESWAR TUDU)

(a) to (d) 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 Ministry of Jal Shakti. However, for major and medium inter-state irrigation projects, appraisal is being undertaken by Central Water Commission under this Ministry.
Further, for a major or medium irrigation project to be considered for financial assistance under any of the ongoing schemes of this Ministry, its acceptance by the Advisory Committee on Irrigation, Flood Control and Multipurpose Projects, and subsequent investment clearance on recommendations by the Investment Clearance Committee of this Ministry, is required.

Identified major and medium irrigation projects are being provided financial assistance under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana – Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme, with pari passu implementation of Command Area Development and Water Management scheme being implemented by this Ministry. State-wise details of major and medium irrigation projects presently under implementation with financial assistance under PMKSY-AIBP with pari passu implementation of CADWM, including those from Maharashtra, are placed at Annexure.
For the above referred projects, implementing State Governments are mandated to address the monitoring and redressal mechanisms to ensure maintenance and quality control of irrigation projects implemented by them. Further, the projects are regularly monitored by Central Water Commission, as well as by a dedicated Project Management Unit (PMU) under this Ministry. Physical and financial progress of these projects is also monitored through a dedicated dashboard, backed with a Management Information System 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.
In addition, a special cell for monitoring of the bottlenecks, and grievances pertaining to the projects receiving financial assistance under PMKSY-AIBP, has been provisioned. Also, third party evaluation of completed projects is also to be undertaken by this Ministry on sample basis.
