The New Indian Express
|August 27, 2023
THE sixth census of minor irrigation schemes shows that there has been a substantial increase in the number of such schemes as compared to the fifth round of census conducted in 2013-14.
A major share of minor irrigation schemes belonged to the private sector.
The minor irrigation census is important for effective planning and policy making. So far, six censuses have been conducted with reference years of 1986-87, 1993-94, 2000-01, 2006-07, 2013-14 and 2017-18.
The Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation on Saturday released the report on the sixth census on minor irrigation schemes.
