Nagaland: Two villages in Peren selected for irrigation water through pressurised pipes

Dimapur, Jun 12 (UNI) Two villages in Peren district of Nagaland, Jalukiekam and Beisumpuikam, have been selected for the Modernisation of Command Area Development and Water Management (M-CADWM) scheme by the union Ministry of Jal Shakti to supply irrigation water in the agricultural fields through pressurised pipes.
The M-CADWM scheme aims to shift outdated, canal-based agricultural irrigation to pressurised piped water networks, significantly improving on-farm water use efficiency.
Addressing an awareness programme on the scheme at Beisumpuikam Village Council hall on Thursday, Shubham Pachauri, Deputy Director, Ministry of Jal Shakti, said the current problem with the irrigation system is leakage in canals or tail-end farmers not receiving water and no proper accounting of water usage, for which change was needed.
