Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchaee Yojana (PMKSY) 🌾💧

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchaee Yojana (PMKSY) is a government initiative aimed at improving the availability of water for agriculture and promoting efficient water usage across the country. The program focuses on providing irrigation facilities and water-saving technologies to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability.

Key Objectives of PMKSY:

1. Enhance Physical Access to Water for Farms 🌾💧

   • The program aims to improve the physical access of water on farms by expanding irrigation coverage to ensure that every farm (har khet ko pani) has assured water supply. 🚜

2. Expand Cultivable Area Under Assured Irrigation 🌱💧

   • By increasing the area covered under irrigation systems, PMKSY helps farmers cultivate more land with guaranteed water supply, boosting agricultural output. 🌾

3. Improve On-Farm Water Use Efficiency 🔄💧

   • The initiative focuses on improving the efficiency of water use on farms to reduce wastage and make better use of available resources. 💧🔋

4. Introduce Water-Saving Technologies 💡🚰

   • “Per drop, more crop” is a central theme, encouraging the use of modern water-saving techniques like drip irrigation and sprinkler systems to optimize water use and increase crop yield. 🌻

5. Promote Sustainable Water Conservation Practices 🌍♻️

   • The scheme advocates for the adoption of sustainable water conservation practices, ensuring long-term water availability for farming without depleting natural resources. 🌿
