PMKSY         :           Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana was launched on 1st Juy, 2015 with the motto of “Har Khet Ko Paani” and improving water use efficiency “More crop per drop”.  The major objectives of PMKSY is to achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at field level, expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on farm water, enhance the adoption of precision – irrigation and other water saving technologies.

            The main aims of PMKSY are to restore the ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing degraded natural resources such as soil, vegetative cover and water. The outcomes are prevention of soil run-off and soil loss. Regeneration of natural vegetation, rain water harvesting and recharging of the ground water table enabling multi-cropping and the introduction of diverse agro-based activities which help to provide sustainable livelihoods to the people residing in the watershed area are its main aims. Farmers are the true beneficiaries of PMKSY.
