All three statements regarding Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) are correct.
PMKSY was launched in July 2015 with the aim of expanding irrigated area, improving water use efficiency, and achieving convergence of irrigation investments at the field level. Its core objective is indeed to enhance physical access of water on the farm, symbolized by the slogan “Har Khet Ko Pani” (water to every field). The scheme integrates various ongoing irrigation programs to ensure a holistic approach to water management in agriculture.
PMKSY also focuses on promoting water-saving technologies like micro-irrigation (drip and sprinkler systems) and integrated watershed development. The program is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with significant contribution from states.
