Rs. 55.51 crore released for Phina Singh irrigation project: Deputy Chief Minister

The long-awaited Phina Singh irrigation project in Kangra district has received a sanction of Rs. 55.51 crore from the Central Government under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) for States annual plan 2025-26.

The government  in several round of talks and deliberations with the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, has taken up this matter since the work on  project was being affected due to insufficient funding.  

"I personally also advocated for the release of funds so that the project could be completed well in time and also took up other several key issues related to this project before the Centre" stated the Deputy Chief Minister. This project had been stalled for over a decade, but it has now emerged as a ray of hope for the farmers. Upon completion, the scheme will provide irrigation facilities to thousands of hectares of land, significantly boosting agricultural productivity.
