• The Department of Agriculture, Co-operation & Farmers’ Welfare is implementing the Per Drop More Crop component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), which is operational from 2015-16 in the country.

• Per Drop More Crop mainly focuses on water use efficiency at farm level through precision/ Micro Irrigation (MI) (Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation).

• Besides promoting precision irrigation and better on-farm water management practices to optimize the use of available water resources, this component also supports gap filling interventions as other interventions, like micro level water storage or water conservation/management activities to complement and supplement the source creation.
