Reviving Minor Irrigation in Telangana
Midterm Assessment of Mission Kakatiya
Manisha Shah, Bharti and Shilp Verma
Mission Kakatiya is the flagship program of government of Telangana, a state whose formation itself was catalysed by perceived regional injustices in water distribution for irrigation. Launched in 2014, the mission aims to harness benefits of tank irrigation by increasing command area, water supply for irrigation and opportunities for agriculture. Based on multiple field studies, this Highlight presents a midterm assessment of the project’s impact on increasing irrigated area, farmers’ incomes, groundwater recharge, opportunities for agriculture and associated livelihoods and shares insights on improving implementation and maximizing net positive benefits.
