Biju Krushak Vikash Yojana (BKVY)

Minor irrigation schemes are environment friendly and provide employment opportunity to the rural population. A large number of small irrigation projects on streams and rivulets can provide irrigation to the lands of tribal beneficiaries.These schemes are so close to the heart of tribal and therefore suitable for self management. In 2001,Government of Odisha launched a new scheme named as "Biju Krushak VikasYojana", under which beside setting up new minor & lift irrigation schemes, derelict ones can be revived.The schemes are to be taken up under the ambit of Pani Panchayats or Water Users' Association. 

Water-smart technology supported by the scheme-  Scheduling canal irrigation
