In a significant development for water management in India, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has given the green light to the expansion of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). The Rs 1,600 crore “Modernisation of Command Area Development and Water Management” (M-CADWM) scheme has been approved for the fiscal year 2025-2026. This initiative is designed to bolster irrigation systems, enhance water use efficiency, and boost agricultural productivity by leveraging modern techniques such as micro-irrigation and Internet of Things (IoT)-based water management. The move underscores the government’s commitment to sustainable water resource management and agricultural growth. The expansion of PMKSY is expected to have a positive impact on farmers across the country, enabling them to optimize water resources and improve crop yields. This strategic investment in water infrastructure aligns with the government’s vision to transform India’s agricultural landscape and ensure food security for its citizens.
