Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Tokhan Sahu and state Agriculture Minister Ramvichar Netam were present during the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project, involving an investment of approximately \u20b9119 crore, aims to provide year-round irrigation to nearly 4,933 hectares of land across 13 villages in the Kansabel development block. Chief Minister Sai stated that the initiative embodies the vision of &#8220;more crop per drop&#8221; and will establish Jashpur as a national model for modern pressurised irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of traditional canal systems, the project features an underground pressurised pipe irrigation network. This modern infrastructure is designed to prevent water wastage, enhance water-use efficiency, and eliminate the need for extensive land acquisition. Villagers from Bagia, Uskuti, Rajoti, Sujibahar, and nine other local settlements are expected to benefit from the permanent water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bagia cluster is notably the only project from Chhattisgarh selected among 34 M-CAD projects approved across 23 states in India. The Central Government has sanctioned \u20b995.89 crore for the initiative. The project incorporates advanced technologies including solar power supply, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and IoT (Internet of Things) for scientific water management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State Nodal Officer for the Samriddhi scheme, Alok Agarwal, informed that the project is slated for completion within the next six months. A Water User Committee, with mandatory participation from women, will take over the operations and maintenance after the initial five-year period managed by the contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Union Minister Tokhan Sahu remarked that the scheme would pave the way for the holistic development of the region, while Agriculture Minister Ramvichar Netam termed it a &#8220;boon&#8221; for the rural economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, May 01: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday launched the construction of the Bagia Pressurised Lift Irrigation System under the Samriddhi Command Area Development and Water Management [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chhattisgarh","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2433,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2431\/revisions\/2433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
