Administrative Secretaries of Animal & Sheep Husbandry, Forest, Ecology and Environment and Rural Development & Panchayati Raj along with concerned Heads of Departments participated in the meeting.

The Chief Secretary said that the Department should converge efforts under various schemes and bridge the gaps through location specific innovative interventions to ensure extension of irrigation facilities to every farm.

These measures have increased crop production by 30%, saved water by 70% and benefitted 7,000 agro-dependent families, besides, reducing water runoff and recharging ground water reservoirs.

In the current financial year, the Department has proposed bringing 12,000 Ha additional areas under irrigation and reducing the gap between ultimate irrigation potential and irrigation potential by converging 144 existing schemes.
