<h1>Government Approves Rs. 50,000 Crore for Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana to Boost Irrigation and Water Management.</h1> The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, led by the Prime Minister, approved the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) with a budget of Rs. 50,000 crore over five years (2015-2020). The scheme aims to enhance irrigation investment, improve water use efficiency, and promote precision-irrigation technologies. It encourages private investment and integrates water management efforts across sectors. The program is decentralized, allowing states to develop District and State Irrigation Plans. National and state-level committees will oversee implementation and resource allocation. The initiative aligns with other government efforts to support farmers, including soil health and organic farming programs.
