The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) aims to achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level, enhance aquifer recharge and introduce sustainable water conservation practices, and explore reuse of treated municipal wastewater for peri-urban agriculture. It consolidates ongoing schemes to attract greater private investment in irrigation and promote extension activities related to water management for farmers. Key features include decentralized state-level planning, a District Irrigation Plan and State Irrigation Plan to access funds. It is supervised by an Inter-Ministerial National Steering Committee and National Executive Committee. Investments will occur at the farm level to include farmer feedback.

OBJECTIVE To achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level.
To enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices. To explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for periurban agriculture.
To attract greater private investments in irrigation. To promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
Salient features PMKSY has been formulated Decentralized State level planning amalgamating ongoing schemes viz. and projectised execution' Accelerated Irrigation Benefit structure, in order to allow Programme (AIBP), States to draw up Integrated Watershed Management a District Irrigation Plan (DIP), Programme (IWMP), and a State Irrigation Plan (SIP). On Farm Water Management (OFWM) These plans need to be prepared Component of National Mission on in order to access PMKSY fund. Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA).
SCHEME
It will be supervised and
monitored by Inter-Ministerial National Steering Committee Recently, Long Term Irrigation (NSC) under PM with Union Fund has been instituted Ministers of all concerned under PMKSY in NABARD for Ministries. A National Executive funding and fast tracking the Committee (NEC) is to be implementation of constituted under the Chair- incomplete major and medium manship of the Vice Chairman, irrigation projects. NITI Aayog to oversee programme implementation.
Investments will Water budgeting happen at farm level. is done for all sectors So, farmers know namely, household, what is happening agriculture and and can provide industries. valuable feedback.
