Under the National Perspective Plan (NPP), the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component & 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of Feasibility Reports. Details and current status of the proposals for inter-State linking of rivers under the Inter Linking of Rivers (ILR) Programme is furnished at Annexure.

The Government is pursuing the interlinking of rivers (ILR) programme in a consultative manner and has accorded it priority. There is a structured mechanism for preparing work plan, fixing the targets, consultation with all stakeholders, reviewing of the progress etc. for ILR projects. Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of link projects after completion, are sent to the concerned States and efforts are made by way of holding regular consultation meetings with the concerned States to build consensus on water sharing, etc.

A Special Committee on Interlinking of Rivers (SCILR) was constituted in September, 2014 to expedite execution of the inter-linking of rivers (ILR) projects. Nineteen meetings of the Special Committee have been held so far and its latest meeting was held on 12.11.2021. Further, a Task Force for Interlinking of Rivers was also constituted in April, 2015 to look into the issues relating to interlinking of rivers. Fifteen meetings of the Task Force have been held so far and the latest meeting was held on 22.10.2021.
