LATEST NEWS- In what could be a precursor to a water-friendly Budget, the water resources ministry is taking to the Cabinet a Rs 20-crore proposal for a pilot project on restoration of water bodies.
This project, spanning 15 districts in the country, aims to bring back two million hectares of farm land lost to drying up and misused water bodies.
According to sources in the ministry, the Cabinet’s nod on the proposal would be sought before the end of February.
It is expected that another Rs 150-200-crore allocation would be made in the 2005-06 Budget for expansion of the project. “While the pilot project would be considered as part of this fiscal, the pilot project for restoration work would work out in 2005-06,“ sources said the scheme envisages hundreds of projects — each with a minimum of 40 hectares of land — to supplement irrigation work. NGOs, water user associations and environmentalists would be roped in with the district commissioner as key functionary overseeing implementation.
“A techno-economic feasibility study is on and all concerned would be addressed holistically,” sources said.
With Rs 4,500-crore expected for the completion of 83 last-mile identified major and medium irrigation projects in the Tenth Plan, the ministry plans to complete 30 projects this year itself.
