Full form, vision, and core mottos
- PMKSY stands for Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana.
- Guided by two core national goals: 'Har Khet Ko Pani' (providing assured water to every cultivable farm) and 'Per Drop More Crop' (maximizing water productivity through precision technologies).
- Unifies irrigation planning across three central ministries: Agriculture, Jal Shakti, and Rural Development.
Four key components of PMKSY
- Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP): Focuses on the time-bound completion of major and medium river valley irrigation projects.
- Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP): Enhances physical access on farms through surface minor irrigation, repair and renovation of water bodies, and command area development.
- Per Drop More Crop (PDMC): Promotes micro-irrigation technologies (drip and sprinkler systems) through capital subsidies to improve water-use efficiency.
- Watershed Development: Supports ridge-to-valley soil and moisture conservation, rainwater harvesting structures, and groundwater recharge in rainfed areas.
Farmer benefits and implementation structure
- Extends capital subsidies to small, marginal, and commercial farmers for installing modern drip and sprinkler equipment.
- Reduces agricultural water consumption by 30 to 50 percent while boosting fertilizer efficiency through fertigation.
- Managed at the district level through District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) formulated by agricultural and irrigation departments.
