Correct Answer: Enhance irrigation efficiency and water use in agriculture
 


Solution : The correct answer is b) Enhance irrigation efficiency and water use in agriculture.

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is a flagship program of the Government of India that aims to improve irrigation infrastructure and water management in agriculture. The primary objective of PMKSY is to enhance water use efficiency, expand irrigation coverage, and improve the productivity of agricultural water resources.

Under PMKSY, various components and strategies are implemented to achieve these objectives. This includes the promotion of precision irrigation methods such as micro-irrigation systems (drip and sprinkler irrigation) to reduce water wastage, the construction and renovation of water storage structures like dams and reservoirs, the development of water distribution networks, and the adoption of efficient water management practices.

PMKSY also emphasizes the convergence of resources and efforts from multiple ministries and departments to ensure integrated and holistic development of irrigation infrastructure. The program aims to address the challenges of water scarcity, uneven distribution of water resources, and inefficient irrigation practices in agriculture, ultimately leading to sustainable water use and increased agricultural productivity.
