Solution
The correct option is D d)All of the above
Answer 16: D
Explanation: The major objective of PMKSY is to achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level, expand cultivable
area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage of water, enhance the adoption of precision-
irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop), enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water
conservation practices by exploring the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture and attract
greater private investment in precision irrigation system.
PMKSY has been conceived amalgamating ongoing schemes viz. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) of the Ministry of
Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD&GR), Integrated Watershed Management Programme
(IWMP) of Department of Land Resources (DoLR) and the On Farm Water Management (OFWM) of Department of Agriculture and
Cooperation (DAC).
The scheme will be implemented by Ministries of Agriculture, Water Resources and Rural Development.
Ministry of Rural Development is to mainly undertake rain water conservation, construction of farm pond, water harvesting structures,
small check dams and contour bunding etc.)
MoWR, RD & GR, is to undertake various measures for creation of assured irrigation source, construction of diversion canals, field
channels, water diversion/lift irrigation, including development of water distribution systems.
Ministry of Agriculture will promote efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips, sprinklers, pivots,
rain-guns in the farm “(Jal Sinchan)”, construction of micro-irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities, extension
activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures.
