What is PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY)?
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is India's flagship irrigation scheme launched in 2015 with the motto 'Har Khet Ko Pani, More Crop Per Drop.' The scheme aims to achieve convergence of irrigation investments at field level — providing end-to-end solutions from water source creation to field application. PMKSY has four major components: (1) Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) — completing long-pending irrigation projects; (2) Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) — ground water development and distribution network; (3) Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) — micro-irrigation (drip and sprinkler) with 55% subsidy for small/marginal farmers; (4) Watershed Development. Over 7 crore hectares of agricultural land covered with an outlay of ₹93,068 crore under the current phase.
