Funds Allocation of Ken-Betwa River Linking Project

Posted On: 29 NOV 2021 5:50PM by PIB Delhi

The National Perspective Plan (NPP) was prepared by the then Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Jal Shakti) in August 1980 for water resources development through inter basin transfer of water, for transferring water from water surplus basins to water-deficit basins. Under the NPP, the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component & 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of Feasibility Reports.

Issues related to funds allocation and utilization for Ken- Betwa Link project (KBLP) will come at the stage of implementation of the project.  A tripartite Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the implementation of the project jointly has been signed by the Hon’ble Union Minister for Jal Shakti and Hon’ble Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh on 22.03.2021 in the august presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

Details and status of the proposals for inter-state linking of rivers under the Inter Linking of Rivers Programme is furnished at Annexure-I.

Feasibility Report of Mahanadi (Barmul) –Godavari (Dowlaiswaram) Link project [an alternate to Mahanadi (Manibhadra) – Godavari (Dowlaiswaram)] was completed and circulated to the concerned States in October, 2020. Interlinking of Rivers projects depend entirely on according of consent by party States.

The river link schemes under ILR Programme have been formulated by considering all relevant engineering parameters like hydrological, meteorological, hydraulic, topographical, geological, geotechnical parameters and other factors like Socio – economic factors, Submergence issues, Environmental Impact Assessment factors and Rehabilitation and Resettlement issues etc.

This Information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Bishweswar Tudu in a written  reply in Rajya Sabha today.
