Andhra Pradesh: Moving Water To Parched Lands Of Telengana The State Government is spending a massive $ 25 bn building a network of canals, dams and barrages, refilling existing lakes, recharging acquifers and linking the three rain fed rivers in the State, much before such ideas have been implemented on a national level.
Construction of irrigation projects has been taken up on a massive scale in Andhra Pradesh. In the history of irrigation development, there is no such precedent in the State and this activity is going to boost the irrigation sector in a significant manner benefiting irrigated agriculture throughout the State.
Twenty-six major and medium irrigation projects costing Rs. 46,000 crores (Revised to Rs. 67,823 crores) have been taken up for execution. Out of this, 8 projects are programmed to be completed within 2 years and the balance 18 projects within 5 years.
The increase in cost, though happened within 1 year of taking up execution of works, is mainly due to increase in scope of the projects as well as the realistic costs of land acquisition, relief, and rehabilitation.
In addition to these 26 projects, it is proposed to construct several other major irrigation projects like Polavaram, Pranahitha - Chevella and it is estimated that about Rs.1.00 lakh crores would be needed to complete all these projects.
The key beneficiaries will be the private sector entities which have specialised in Building Water Infra. |
