According to recent data released by the central government, there has been a 21% decline in minor irrigation projects in Goa. The data highlights a concerning trend in the state’s irrigation infrastructure, which plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture. Minor irrigation projects, such as check dams and small reservoirs, are essential for ensuring water availability for crops, especially during dry seasons. The decrease in the number of such projects could have a significant impact on agricultural productivity in Goa. It is important for the state government to take note of this data and prioritize the development of irrigation infrastructure to support the agricultural sector. Improving irrigation facilities can help enhance crop yield, boost farmer income, and ensure food security in the region. Sustainable water management practices and investments in irrigation technology are needed to address the challenges posed by the declining number of minor irrigation projects. By focusing on these areas, the government can work towards revitalizing Goa’s agricultural sector and promoting overall economic growth in the state.
