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
