&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The Atal Bhujal Yojana will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has finalised the contours of a Rs 6,000-crore scheme to tackle the country&amp;rsquo;s depleting groundwater level, almost a year-and-a-half after finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the plan in the Union Budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called the Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY) and piloted by the Union water resources ministry, the scheme now needs the cabinet&amp;rsquo;s clearance. It will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, covering 78 districts, 193 blocks and more than 8,300 gram panchayats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scheme was conceived to arrest the rampant overuse of groundwater in India. According to a World Bank report, about 245 billion cubic metre of groundwater is abstracted each year in the country. This figure represents about 25% of the total global groundwater abstraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past four to five decades, 80% of the rural and urban domestic water supplies in India have been dependent on groundwater, the report says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Half of the Rs 6,000 crore earmarked for the scheme will come from government budgetary support and the World Bank will give another Rs 3,000 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The duration of the ABY will be five years. We will soon go to the expenditure finance committee for approval, after which we will move for the cabinet nod,&amp;rdquo; said Akhil Kumar, the joint secretary in charge of groundwater in the water ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government plans to give 50% of the money to states, including gram panchayats, as incentives for achieving targets in groundwater management. That&amp;rsquo;s a first-ever move to encourage community participation and behavioural changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remaining 50% of the funds will be given to states for strengthening institutional arrangements such as providing a strong database and scientific approach to help them accomplish sustainable management of groundwater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Gram panchayats that prepare water security plans and put infrastructure to augment water supply will get incentives. The more steps a state takes to augment supply, more incentives it will get. The idea is to bring in a concept of self-regulation through community participation,&amp;rdquo; said another senior ministry official who does not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry had initially conceptualised the National Groundwater Management Improvement Scheme (NGMIS) in response to the budget announcement of 2016-17. However, the NGMIS was shot down by the expenditure finance committee in May 2017, recommending that the ministry recast the scheme with a composite proposal.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The Atal Bhujal Yojana will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has finalised the contours of a Rs 6,000-crore scheme to tackle the country&amp;rsquo;s depleting groundwater level, almost a year-and-a-half after finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the plan in the Union Budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called the Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY) and piloted by the Union water resources ministry, the scheme now needs the cabinet&amp;rsquo;s clearance. It will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, covering 78 districts, 193 blocks and more than 8,300 gram panchayats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scheme was conceived to arrest the rampant overuse of groundwater in India. According to a World Bank report, about 245 billion cubic metre of groundwater is abstracted each year in the country. This figure represents about 25% of the total global groundwater abstraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past four to five decades, 80% of the rural and urban domestic water supplies in India have been dependent on groundwater, the report says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Half of the Rs 6,000 crore earmarked for the scheme will come from government budgetary support and the World Bank will give another Rs 3,000 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The duration of the ABY will be five years. We will soon go to the expenditure finance committee for approval, after which we will move for the cabinet nod,&amp;rdquo; said Akhil Kumar, the joint secretary in charge of groundwater in the water ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government plans to give 50% of the money to states, including gram panchayats, as incentives for achieving targets in groundwater management. That&amp;rsquo;s a first-ever move to encourage community participation and behavioural changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remaining 50% of the funds will be given to states for strengthening institutional arrangements such as providing a strong database and scientific approach to help them accomplish sustainable management of groundwater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Gram panchayats that prepare water security plans and put infrastructure to augment water supply will get incentives. The more steps a state takes to augment supply, more incentives it will get. The idea is to bring in a concept of self-regulation through community participation,&amp;rdquo; said another senior ministry official who does not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry had initially conceptualised the National Groundwater Management Improvement Scheme (NGMIS) in response to the budget announcement of 2016-17. However, the NGMIS was shot down by the expenditure finance committee in May 2017, recommending that the ministry recast the scheme with a composite proposal.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The Atal Bhujal Yojana will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The government has finalised the contours of a Rs 6,000-crore scheme to tackle the country&amp;rsquo;s depleting groundwater level, almost a year-and-a-half after finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the plan in the Union Budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Called the Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY) and piloted by the Union water resources ministry, the scheme now needs the cabinet&amp;rsquo;s clearance. It will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, covering 78 districts, 193 blocks and more than 8,300 gram panchayats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The scheme was conceived to arrest the rampant overuse of groundwater in India. According to a World Bank report, about 245 billion cubic metre of groundwater is abstracted each year in the country. This figure represents about 25% of the total global groundwater abstraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past four to five decades, 80% of the rural and urban domestic water supplies in India have been dependent on groundwater, the report says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Half of the Rs 6,000 crore earmarked for the scheme will come from government budgetary support and the World Bank will give another Rs 3,000 crore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The duration of the ABY will be five years. We will soon go to the expenditure finance committee for approval, after which we will move for the cabinet nod,&amp;rdquo; said Akhil Kumar, the joint secretary in charge of groundwater in the water ministry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government plans to give 50% of the money to states, including gram panchayats, as incentives for achieving targets in groundwater management. That&amp;rsquo;s a first-ever move to encourage community participation and behavioural changes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remaining 50% of the funds will be given to states for strengthening institutional arrangements such as providing a strong database and scientific approach to help them accomplish sustainable management of groundwater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Gram panchayats that prepare water security plans and put infrastructure to augment water supply will get incentives. The more steps a state takes to augment supply, more incentives it will get. The idea is to bring in a concept of self-regulation through community participation,&amp;rdquo; said another senior ministry official who does not want to be identified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ministry had initially conceptualised the National Groundwater Management Improvement Scheme (NGMIS) in response to the budget announcement of 2016-17. However, the NGMIS was shot down by the expenditure finance committee in May 2017, recommending that the ministry recast the scheme with a composite proposal.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>The Atal Bhujal Yojana will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh<br />
</em><br />
The government has finalised the contours of a Rs 6,000-crore scheme to tackle the country&rsquo;s depleting groundwater level, almost a year-and-a-half after finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the plan in the Union Budget.<br />
<br />
Called the Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY) and piloted by the Union water resources ministry, the scheme now needs the cabinet&rsquo;s clearance. It will be launched in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, covering 78 districts, 193 blocks and more than 8,300 gram panchayats.<br />
<br />
The scheme was conceived to arrest the rampant overuse of groundwater in India. According to a World Bank report, about 245 billion cubic metre of groundwater is abstracted each year in the country. This figure represents about 25% of the total global groundwater abstraction.<br />
<br />
In the past four to five decades, 80% of the rural and urban domestic water supplies in India have been dependent on groundwater, the report says.<br />
<br />
Half of the Rs 6,000 crore earmarked for the scheme will come from government budgetary support and the World Bank will give another Rs 3,000 crore.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The duration of the ABY will be five years. We will soon go to the expenditure finance committee for approval, after which we will move for the cabinet nod,&rdquo; said Akhil Kumar, the joint secretary in charge of groundwater in the water ministry.<br />
<br />
The government plans to give 50% of the money to states, including gram panchayats, as incentives for achieving targets in groundwater management. That&rsquo;s a first-ever move to encourage community participation and behavioural changes.<br />
<br />
The remaining 50% of the funds will be given to states for strengthening institutional arrangements such as providing a strong database and scientific approach to help them accomplish sustainable management of groundwater.<br />
