    Under the visionary leadership and guidance of Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, the World Bank has approved technical and financial assistance (loan) of ₹5,700 crore under the ‘Jal Sanrakshit Haryana Project’, with the objective of making the state self-reliant in the water sector. The Chief Minister was chairing a meeting of officials in Chandigarh regarding the Jal Sanrakshit Haryana programme. The Chief Minister said that this amount will be disbursed in a phased manner over a period of six years, from 2026 to 2032. The funds will be utilised for large-scale works in the canal sector. He said that out of a total of 1,570 canals in the state, 892 canals have been restored over the past 20 years, and the restoration of the remaining 678 canals is proposed to be completed in the next five years. This includes restoration of 115 canals at a cost of ₹2,325 crore with World Bank financial assistance, 284 canals at a cost of ₹2,230 crore from the state budget, and 279 canals at a cost of ₹2,880 crore through NABARD. The Chief Minister said that out of a total of 15,562 canal minors under MICADA, 4,487 minors have been restored over the past 20 years, and the remaining 1,961 minors are proposed to be restored over the next five years. This includes 400 canal minors at a cost of ₹450 crore with World Bank assistance, 1,500 minors at a cost of ₹1,250 crore from the state budget, and 61 minors at a cost of ₹402 crore through NABARD. In addition, with World Bank support of ₹900 crore, micro-irrigation systems will be implemented over approximately 70,000 acres of agricultural land. The Chief Minister said that the Agriculture Department will develop tube-well-based drainage and surface drainage systems to resolve the problem of waterlogging in the remaining waterlogged areas of the state, covering approximately 2,00,000 acres of land. Further, sustainable and water-conservation-based agriculture will be promoted through crop diversification, direct seeding of rice, and other measures. For this, the World Bank will provide financial assistance (loan) of approximately ₹886 crore. The Chief Minister said that to strengthen groundwater recharge, about 80 water bodies will be constructed in various districts of southern Haryana. In addition, treated water from four major sewage treatment plants located in Jind, Kaithal, and Gurugram will be reused to ensure irrigation for approximately 28,000 acres of agricultural land, for which the World Bank has provided financial assistance of about ₹600 crore. The Chief Minister said that the World Bank appreciated the government’s visionary leadership and guidance for this achievement and described the ‘Jal Sanrakshit Haryana’ programme as a “paradigm shift” in the state’s water management approach. On completion of this project, all canals in Haryana will be restored, making them the most modern and well-restored canals in the country. The ‘Jal Sanrakshit Haryana’ programme will not only prove to be a milestone in making the state water self-reliant, but will also strongly reflect the government’s commitment to ensuring a safe, inclusive, and sustainable water future for coming generations. The Chief Minister said that on completion of this project, the entire canal network of the state will be fully lined and will function effectively for the next 25 years. After this, no funds will be required for canal restoration for many years. Additionally, irrigation facilities will become available on 2 lakh acres of additional land, and farmers will also get relief from the problem of waterlogging. He said that since irrigation currently uses mostly fresh water, this project will help save that water, making it available for drinking purposes. The Chief Minister appealed to farmers to adopt micro-irrigation systems as much as possible in paddy cultivation. This will result in higher yields and will also help farmers overcome several other problems caused by open-field water usage. He directed officials to motivate farmers on a large scale to adopt micro-irrigation systems for paddy and to organise extensive awareness camps for this purpose. The Chief Minister said that tenders will soon be allotted to provide drinking water through pipelines for the industrial zone in Kharkhoda. He also directed that, under the Jal Sanrakshit Project, proposals for channel links be prepared to ensure future water availability, especially to supply drinking water to industrial zones. During the meeting, Chief Engineer of the Irrigation Department Dr. Satbir Kadyan made a detailed power presentation. The meeting was attended by the Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary Arun Kumar Gupta, Additional Principal Secretary to CM Dr. Saket Kumar and several other senior officers of Irrigation department
