Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY)

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is an initiative launched by the Government of India to ensure comprehensive and sustainable water management for agricultural practices. Introduced with the vision of "Har Khet Ko Paani" (Water for Every Field), the program aims to expand cultivable areas under irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency, and ensure the judicious use of water resources. PMKSY emphasizes the importance of creating water harvesting structures, efficient water conveyance, and distribution systems. It seeks to integrate multiple water source management and adopt a decentralized approach, giving prominence to water conservation and recharge measures. The program stands as a testament to the government's commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity while ensuring water sustainability.
