IRRIGATION ASSESSMENT AND RECOVERY

摘要

There has been a massive development of irrigation in India since the inception of planning. Huge investments have been made in the public sector to develop the irrigation infrastructure to support agricultural growth. Altogether during the four decades from 1950-51 to the present more than Rs. 40,000 crores have been invested by the public sector on all forms of irrigation, the bulk of it on projects directly under the auspices of the Government. In Maharashtra State the expenditure to the extent of Rs. 5,500 crore have been incurred uptill now on irrigation projects. This has generated the irrigation potential to the tune of 2.8 M ha.
