PRAGATI IRRIGATION PROJECTS

PRAGATI IRRIGATION PROJECTS

Total 86 projects of Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR,RD&GR) are being monitored through Project Monitoring Group (PMG) portal. Their State and Sector wise details are given as Annexure-I. None of these projects belong to Dakshin Kannada district or Pali constituency of Rajasthan.

Total 11 projects, being funded by DoWR, RD&GR, have been reviewed under Pro-Active Governance and Timely implementation (PRAGATI) platform till date. Their Details along with benefitted districts are placed as Annexure-II.

Given the scale, complexity, and inter-governmental coordination required for water resources projects such as land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental clearances, inter-state coordination, field-level implementation, and community engagement, several initiatives have been brought under Project Monitoring Group (PMG) framework.

The framework emphasizes real time tracking of issues on PMG portal with simultaneous tracking of physical and financial progress. Clear responsibilities are assigned, and decisions taken during reviews are recorded and followed up until resolution. This approach shifts project oversight from routine reporting to outcome-oriented governance.

Out of 127 issues reported on PMG portal, 108 issues have been resolved so far. Further, the long outstanding issues/projects on PMG portal are brought under the PRAGATI mechanism ensuring time-bound decision-making, accountability alignment, and resolution of long-pending field bottlenecks.

The PRAGATI oversight framework has been instrumental in unlocking implementation constraints such as rehabilitation and resettlement, land acquisition, inter-state coordination, field-level encumbrances etc. ensuring that critical irrigation and water-resource assets move steadily toward commissioning and service delivery.

No irrigation and water resources project in Palghar district has presently been funded under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna and Maharashtra Package Schemes of DoWR, RD & GR.

The information was provided by THE MINISTER OF JAL SHAKTI SHRI C R PATIL in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
