Our Assessment
lowlow
Promise to spend Rs 1.5 lakh crore on irrigation over five years (2023-2028). The Water Resources Department receives substantial annual budget allocations, but whether cumulative spending is on pace for the Rs 1.5 lakh crore target - and reporting that the major named projects received no specific grants - currently rests on non-approved analysis. An approved citation on cumulative outlay is needed. Status pending.
