3.0 Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-2007) and Annual Plan 2002-03

It is anticipated that 3 Major, 19 Medium schemes will be completed by the end of Ninth Five Year Plan. The strategy of the department is to increase irrigation facility, complete ongoing works, increase utilisation and obtain additional resources during Tenth Five Year Plan.

In order to increase utilisation, it is proposed to take up four new externally aided programs and two modernisation schemes during tenth plan period to improve irrigation. It is proposed to provide Rs. 92.5 crs and Rs. 144 crores respectively during Tenth Plan period for these projects. A provision of Rs. 10 crs. is also being kept for special repairs of existing Major & Medium schemes.

7.2 NARMADA VALLY DEVELOPMENT

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 for implementing major irrigation & Power Projects in the Narmada Valley. An integrated master plan has been prepared to enable full utilisation of 18.25 MAF of allocated water before the stipulated period of review of the NWDT award, (i.e. in the year 2025). The following schedule shows the phasing of projects.

Out of 29 major projects, 5 projects (Barna Tawa, Shukta, Matiyari and Kolar) are with Water Resources department and the remaining 24 projects are managed by Narmada Valley Development Department. One of the hydel projects, namely Maheshwar project, has been transferred to Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board, for execution through private agency.

The expenditure during these years 1997-2002 was Rs. 1313.36 crore the year wise expenditure is as under :

Year	Irrigation	Power	Total
1997-1998	92.54	137.73	230.27
1998-1999	108.18	117.77	225.95
1999-2000	111.73	204.95	316.68
2000-2001	117.07	165.70	282.77
2001-2002	189.85	67.84	257.69
Total	619.37	693.99	1313.36

During the Ninth Five Year Plan, the works of Indira Sagar Project, Left Bank Canal of Rani Awanti Bai Sagar Project, acquaduet of Omkareshwar Project and Man & Jobat Projects were accelerated.

Resettlement of the project affected families (PAFs) and the Environmental works, such as afforestation, catchment area treatment, etc. have also been brought in full swing and are being completed ahead of the engineering works.

The objective is to create additional irrigation potential and generation of energy.

Proposed outlay for Tenth Plan and Annual Plan is as under

(Rs. in crore)
Tenth Plan Annual		Annual Plan
Irrigation Sector	456.22	236.24
Power Sector	543.78	63.76
Total	2000.00	300.00

It is planed to complete the dams of Indirasagar, Omkareshwar and Maheshwar Projects by the time the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat is ready for impoundment. Priority had been given to complete the Narmadasagar complex projects i.e. Indirasagar, Omkareshwar and Maheshwar. The Maheshwar dam would be affected by the water spread of Sardar Sarovar in about 2005. It is necessary to complete the Maheshwar dam before the submergence reaches that site hence the provisions are made to complete the dam in Tenth plan.

Bargi dam under the Rani Awanti Bai Sagar Project (RABS) was completed in 1988-89. It is necessary that the canals (LBC and the RBC) from the Bargi project are completed quickly. LBC will provide irrigation facilities to the areas in Jabalpur and Narsimhapur districts. The RBC is named as Bargi Diversion Project which will provide irrigation facilities to the areas in Jabalpur, Satna and Rewa district.

Man and Jobat projects are ongoing irrigation projects and are located in tribal area. Priority is given to these projects and are proposed to be completed in the 10th plan.

Upper Narmada, Raghavpur, Rosra, Basania, Halon, Upper Beda and Lower Goi projects are located in tribal districts. Raghavpur, Rosra and Basania are given priority being hydro-power projects.

Upper-Narmada, Halon, Upper Beda and Lower Goi are given priority as these are irrigation projects having moderate catchments and could be completed for giving benefits quickly. Under the NWDT Award Madhya Pradesh has certain obligations to share the cost of Unit I and Unit III of the Sardar Sarovar project. Therefore, payments to the Government of Gujarat for SSP has become State’s committed liability. Suitable provisions have been made in the 10th plan towards this payment.

NVDA is also undertaking works relating to resettlement and rehabilition (R&R) of project affected families (PAFs) and the works for protection of environment such as catchment area treatment, compensatory afforestation, protection of flora and fauna, etc. Highest priority is given to the work of R&R of PAFs in the 10th plan so that the PAFs are properly settled before impoundment of water in the different reservoirs.

Small and micro hydel projects in the Narmada valley also assume importance in the 10th plan.

The basic strategy in the approach to the 10th plan is to accelerate progress on ongoing schemes. Therefore the trend of employment in the 10th plan will be on the higher side as compared to the 9th plan.

Command area development activities were started vide Govt. of M.P. resolution dated 9th September 1974. At present 6 Command Area Development Authorities and state level Ayacut Cell for their coordination exist.

The main objectives of the Command Area Development (CAD) programme is to increase agricultural production in irrigated areas by

(a) Bridging the potential created and its utilisation.

(b) Efficient management of irrigation water soil and various inputs.

(c) Scientific crop planning provision for expantion of marketing facilities.

(d) Farmers participation in the programme right from the beginning.

2.1 During the Ninth five year plan the expenditure for the year 1997-98, 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-2001 is Rs. 3.84 crores, 3.91 crores, 3.25 crores and 2.68 crores respectively and expected expenditure for the year 2001-2002 is Rs. 14.73 crores.

Following are the targets likely to be achieved at the end of Ninth five year plan.

(i) Construction of field channels	33151 ha.
(ii) Warabandi	4761 Nos.
(iii) P.I.M.	111911 ha.
(iv) Adaptive trials	2063 Nos
(v) Visit and Training of farmers	8037 Nos.
(vi) Reclamation of water logged Area	1040 ha.

3.1 The main objective of the Tenth five year plan for the command area development programme is to increase agricultural production in irrigated areas.

3.2 The proposed out lay for the Tenth plan is Rs. 37.40 crores and the plan outlay for the year 2002-03 is Rs. 7.37 crores.

3.3 It is proposed to focus on construction of water courses and field channels, effective drainage and control of water logging, warabandi and participatry irrigation management.
