Road:

MP’s performance in utilization of PMGSY funds during XI Plan has been

widely appreciated but adequate funds were not provided on the pretext of

PMGSY guidelines. State has been able to provided road connectivity to all

villages as per the guidelines in short period as compare to other states. To meet the goal of providing connectivity to all villages irrespective of Population state needs huge Resources  for which Centre should consider of lowering the population criterion for providing connectivity to targeted villages under PMGSY during XII Plan, for

states like Madhya Pradesh which has lower population density (dispersed

population) and high proportion of tribal population.

energy,:- Energy sector plays an important role in the development of agriculture,

Industry and social sectors. Bulk of the state’s budget outlay during XI Plan was

dominated by energy sector and at the same time there still exists a big gap

between generation and demand. All out efforts are

being made to implement the regulatory reforms besides dedicated effort to

separate the feeder distribution for different category of consumers such as user

for agricultural purposes, domestic and commercial at a very high cost. In case of thermal power generation, to maintain optimum level of production,

the issues related to rationalization of coal supply and its movement, adequacy

of coal availability and making available the annual contracted quantity of coal

needs to be resolved at the earliest. e Constituted GoM for the purpose should

resolve these constraints relating to the establishment of Thermal Plants by

allocating pit head coal blocks in their proximity to reduce the cost of

movement.

POVERTY:-

State welcomes the initiative taken by the Central government to conduct a

fresh survey “Socio-economic Census in Rural Areas 2011” to study the present

socio-economic status of all section of Society. The poverty

estimates should not only consider monthly per capita expenditure (inclusive of

expenditure on Education, Health etc.) but also basic requirements for leading

healthy life with optimum productivity and the deprivation from various

facilities and Services should also be factored in.

Highway-

The National highways in Madhya Pradesh are in extremely poor condition. NHAI has thoroughly neglected the

maintenance of national highways for the last few years. State urges the

Ministry of Road Transport to ask NHAI to maintain these national highways

Properly. State can take up the programme for rehabilitation and reconstruction of

these national highways in case of de-notification takes place.    Longest, smallest, total length… data included.

MP Irrigation and Power-

basic overview of MP irrigation:-

The 12th Five Year plan of Govt. of M.P. Water Resources Department has been

formulated as per directives of the Planning Commission. Emphasis has been

laid on completion of ongoing Major, Medium and Minor Irrigation projects &

making much more effective use of irrigation facilities, both from existing and

newly created schemes to restore and improve old irrigation works and create

additional EMPLOYMENT opportunities for rural masses.Percentage of irrigation to net sown area would be 76.80%. Assuming 40 percent irrigation by private sources and 60 percent by Government sources.

 

NARMADA VALLEY DEVELOPMENT:-

The Narmada Basin Cover 27% area of the present state of M.P. The

development of Narmada Basin is the most ambitious segment of the state’s

Plan in the irrigation and power sector. In July 1985 the State Govt. constituted

the Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA) for implementing major

irrigation& power projects in the Narmada Valley. Narmada Valley Development Authority has prepared a ‘Reverse Calendar’ and also embarked on preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of all the 16 remaining major projects along with

seeking necessary clearances. To finance and expedite the construction of medium and minor projects, the NVDA has also incorporated, “Narmada Basin Projects Company Ltd.”

Road and Highway

Roads and highways are essential Infrastructure-2/”>INFRASTRUCTURE for any country. They provide a way for people and goods to move around, and they play a vital role in the economy. In India, the road Network is extensive, with over 6 million kilometers of roads. The network is divided into three main categories: national highways, state highways, and major district roads.

National highways are the most important roads in the country. They connect the major cities and towns, and they carry the bulk of the long-distance traffic. State highways connect the district headquarters with each other, and with the national highways. Major district roads connect the tehsil headquarters with each other, and with the state highways.

The road network in India is constantly being upgraded and expanded. In recent years, the government has invested heavily in road construction, and the network has improved significantly. However, there are still some areas where the road network is inadequate. In particular, there are many rural areas that do not have good roads. The government is working to improve the road network in these areas, but it is a slow process.

Power

India is a rapidly developing country, and its energy needs are growing rapidly. The country is currently facing a power shortage, and the government is working to increase the supply of electricity. The main sources of electricity in India are coal, hydropower, nuclear power, and RENEWABLE ENERGY.

Coal is the main source of electricity in India, accounting for about 70% of the total. The country has large reserves of coal, and it is the third-largest producer of coal in the world. However, coal is a dirty fuel, and it contributes to Air Pollution.

Hydropower is the second-largest source of electricity in India, accounting for about 15% of the total. The country has a large potential for hydropower, and it is the fourth-largest producer of hydropower in the world. However, hydropower projects can have a negative impact on the Environment, and they can displace people from their homes.

Nuclear power is the third-largest source of electricity in India, accounting for about 3% of the total. The country has two nuclear power plants, and it is planning to build more. Nuclear power is a clean and efficient source of electricity, but it is also controversial, due to the risk of accidents.

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing source of electricity in India, accounting for about 12% of the total. The country has a large potential for renewable energy, and it is the sixth-largest producer of solar power in the world. Renewable energy is a clean and sustainable source of electricity, but it is also intermittent, and it cannot provide baseload power.

Irrigation

Irrigation is the artificial application of water to land to assist in the growing of crops. Irrigation has been practiced for thousands of years, and it is essential for agriculture in many parts of the world. In India, irrigation is used to irrigate about 50% of the cultivated land.

There are many different methods of irrigation, including surface irrigation, Sprinkler Irrigation, and Drip Irrigation. Surface irrigation is the oldest and most common method of irrigation. It involves flooding the land with water from canals or ditches. Sprinkler irrigation involves spraying water onto the land from sprinklers. Drip irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigation. It involves delivering water directly to the roots of the plants through a network of pipes.

Irrigation has many benefits. It can increase crop yields, improve crop quality, and reduce the risk of crop failure. Irrigation can also help to control Soil erosion and improve water quality. However, irrigation can also have some negative impacts. It can lead to waterlogging and Salinization of the soil. It can also contribute to Water Pollution.

The government of India is committed to increasing the area under irrigation. The government has launched several programs to promote irrigation, including the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY). The PMKSY is a flagship program of the government to provide irrigation facilities to farmers. The program aims to irrigate an additional 10 million hectares of land by 2022.

The government is also working to improve the efficiency of irrigation. The government has launched several programs to promote efficient irrigation practices, including the National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA). The NMSA aims to promote efficient irrigation practices, such as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation. The program also aims to improve the management of irrigation systems.

Irrigation is an essential part of Agriculture In India. The government is committed to increasing the area under irrigation and improving the efficiency of irrigation.
