According to recent data released by the Central Government, there has been a 21% decrease 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 are essential for providing water to small and marginal farmers, ensuring sustainable agricultural practices. The decline in these projects could have a significant impact on Goa’s agricultural sector, affecting crop production and farmer livelihoods. It is important for the state government to take note of this decrease and prioritize the development and maintenance of minor irrigation projects. By investing in irrigation infrastructure, Goa can enhance agricultural productivity, improve water management, and support the livelihoods of farmers. Addressing the challenges faced by minor irrigation projects is vital for ensuring food security and sustainable agriculture in the state. As such, policymakers and stakeholders need to collaborate on strategies to revitalize Goa’s irrigation infrastructure and support the agricultural sector.
