National Policy Interface
- Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY) can address existing gaps, such as the exclusion of water-stressed states like Punjab and Bihar, where the water tables are rapidly declining.
- The policy should establish a unified framework to tackle both groundwater issues, treatment, and contamination from agricultural activities.
- Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) recognizes water efficiency as a separate component. By including water management under the NMSA scheme, the policy can promote integrated approaches in sustainable agriculture.
