Pattern of Micro Irrigation penetration in different States Since inception of PMKSY-PMDC MADHYA PRADESH KARNATAKA UTTAR PRADESH ANDHRA PRADESH CHHATTISGARH GUJARAT HARYANA MAHARASHTRA ODISHA TAMIL NADU TELANGANA RAJASTHAN Punjab JHARKHAND WEST BENGAL Kerala UTTARAKHAND Goa BIHAR J & K HIMACHAL PRADESH Good NE States Moderate Low Poor
Pattern of MI coverage during 2018-19 States which added above 1.40 lakh hectares: 2.35 2.50 2.00 1.72 2.00 1.41 Area In Lakh ha 1.41 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 Karnataka Andhra Pradesh Tamil Nadu Maharashtra Gujarat
States Not Reported MI Coverage Area and DBT data on MIS Jammu & Kashmir Sikkim Arunachal Pradesh Nagaland Mizoram Tripura Meghalaya Assam Goa
Best Practices in State (Andhra Pradesh) Needs to be Replicated
Paddy Under Drip Irrigation 37% REDUCED COST OF CULTIVATION 5% MORE YIELD 50-60% LESS WATER
Skill Development Programs To provide self employment to rural youth in Micro Irrigation installations and fittings To maintenance of MI Systems improve services for APMIP with M/s Netafim & M/s Jain conducted (25) days (5days in house and 20 days in field) programme for rural youth . in coordination Out of 512 youth trained in Rayalaseema Districts 358 were employed Companies Irrigation Technicians. by MI as Micro 8
Enhancement Of Penetration Of MI In Less Penetrating States Additional incentive/top up subsidy to farmers for encouraging adoption of MI Capacity building and strengthening institutional mechanism. Successful approaches of good States may be replicated. Avail Micro Irrigation Fund for resource mobilization and innovative projects with PPP model. Awareness programmes on importance of efficient use of water and adoption of MI by farmers.
