| Summary: | The World Bank supported West Bengal
Accelerated Development of Minor Irrigation Project assumes
a centre stage position in the current context of bringing
water to every farm (Har Khet ko Pani) under the recently
launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMSKY).
With an objective to "enhance agricultural production
of small and marginal farmers of the project area in West
Bengal through development of minor irrigation
infrastructure and agriculture support system", the
Project was launched in 2012, partnering the Department of
Water Resources Investigation and Development, Government of
West Bengal. To achieve its outcomes, the Project focuses on
strengthening community-based organizations, especially
water users' association with a strong focus on gender
aspects, irrigation systems development and improvement,
agriculture, horticulture and fisheries development. |
