PRAGATI IRRIGATION PROJECTS
Posted On: 12 FEB 2026 5:16PM by PIB Delhi
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
