designed with primary focus on providing pressurized water at the farm level to facilitate adoption of
micro-irrigation for higher agricultural productivity and hence higher farmers’ income over time. The
scheme is envisaged to directly benefit about 70,000 farmers and indirectly benefit around 3.5 lakh
farmers across the identified command areas.
