This move aims to boost agricultural productivity, improve water use efficiency, and support <strong>Atmanirbhar Bharat<\/strong> by ensuring better irrigation infrastructure and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Objectives_of_the_CADWM_Programme\"><\/span><strong>Key Objectives of the CADWM Programme<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary goal of the revamped CADWM programme is to <strong>enhance water-use efficiency in irrigation systems<\/strong> by creating an integrated and participatory approach to water management. This includes <strong>lining watercourses, micro-irrigation<\/strong>, and using <strong>technology-driven solutions<\/strong> like satellite imagery and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping for effective monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Funding_and_Implementation_Framework\"><\/span><strong>Funding and Implementation Framework<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised CADWM programme will be implemented as a <strong>centrally sponsored scheme<\/strong> with an approved outlay of <strong>\u20b99,000 crore<\/strong> until 2026. The <strong>Centre and States<\/strong> will share funding in a <strong>60:40 ratio<\/strong>, while for <strong>North Eastern and hilly states<\/strong>, the ratio will be <strong>90:10<\/strong>. This ensures wide accessibility and participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_Participatory_Irrigation_Management\"><\/span><strong>Focus on Participatory Irrigation Management<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the highlights of the CADWM modernization is the emphasis on <strong>Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)<\/strong>. This involves <strong>Water Users Associations (WUAs)<\/strong> in the planning and distribution of water, enhancing <strong>accountability, transparency, and sustainability<\/strong> in water usage across rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technological_Advancements_and_Sustainability\"><\/span><strong>Technological Advancements and Sustainability<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised scheme proposes the use of <strong>smart technologies<\/strong> like mobile applications, real-time data analysis, and <strong>drone-based surveillance<\/strong> to monitor water distribution. These steps are aligned with India\u2019s goals for <strong>climate resilience, food security<\/strong>, and <strong>sustainable water resource management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"National_Significance_for_Agriculture_and_Rural_Economy\"><\/span><strong>National Significance for Agriculture and Rural Economy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modernization of CADWM is seen as a critical step in improving the <strong>rural economy<\/strong>, reducing <strong>water wastage<\/strong>, and increasing <strong>crop intensity<\/strong> and <strong>farm income<\/strong>. The integration of technology and community involvement ensures long-term benefits in <strong>rainfed and water-scarce regions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\" id=\"CADWM-modernization-2024\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/edunovations.com\/currentaffairs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/download-8-4.jpeg\" alt=\"CADWM modernization 2024\" class=\"wp-image-32577\" style=\"width:736px;height:auto\" title=\"CADWM modernization 2024\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CADWM modernization 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"B_Why_This_News_is_Important\"><\/span><strong>B) Why This News is Important<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strengthens_Agricultural_Infrastructure\"><\/span><strong>Strengthens Agricultural Infrastructure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revised CADWM scheme will boost <strong>irrigation infrastructure<\/strong>, leading to <strong>increased agricultural productivity<\/strong>\u2014a key concern for both economy and food security.
