The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the Modernisation of Command Area Development and Water Management (M-CADWM) as a sub-scheme of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) for the 2025-2026 period with an initial outlay of Rs 1,600 crore.
The scheme aims for the modernisation of the irrigation water-supply network to supply irrigation water from the existing canals or other sources in a designated cluster.
It will make robust back-end infrastructure for micro-irrigation by farmers from an established source to the farms' gates, up to 1 hectare, with underground pressurised piped irrigation, according to an official statement.
