&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ensuring irrigation efficiency is of paramount importance for sustainable agriculture.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India needs to redesign its irrigation policy, including by promoting improved technological interventions in the wake of depleting ground water, according to an article published in the latest issue of RBI Bulletin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the backdrop of recurrent episodes of drought and declining groundwater table, ensuring irrigation efficiency is of paramount importance for sustainable agriculture, the article published on Tuesday said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;RBI said the article titled &amp;#39;&lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/RBI%20article.PDF&quot;&gt;Irrigation Management for Sustainable Agriculture&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; analyses the trends in the area-weighted cost and efficiency of irrigation across 19 agriculturally important Indian states using the Comprehensive Cost of Cultivation data published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers&amp;#39; Welfare, for the period from 2002-03 to 2017-18.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The area-weighted cost of irrigation declined during the study period perhaps reflecting the impact of increased access to subsidised power in most of the states. However, the costs are still high in some states, said the article authored by officials in the RBI&amp;#39;s the Department of Economic and Policy Research.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The estimated technical efficiency of irrigation suggests that the majority of the states lie far from the efficiency frontier and have also recorded declining trends over the study period, the article said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The inefficiency appears to be driven by the energy consumption in the farm sector and ground water accessibility,&amp;quot; it said, and added that the findings call for policy focus on energy and water efficient irrigation technologies, particularly in states where irrigation efficiency is declining.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Cost and availability of energy to the farm sector along with the depth of ground water level appear to influence irrigation efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;There is a need for redesigning irrigation policy, including promotion of improved technological interventions to correct the interstate irrigation imbalances,&amp;quot; it said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India needs to redesign its irrigation policy, including by promoting improved technological interventions in the wake of depleting ground water, according to an article published in the latest issue of RBI Bulletin.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the backdrop of recurrent episodes of drought and declining groundwater table, ensuring irrigation efficiency is of paramount importance for sustainable agriculture, the article published on Tuesday said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;RBI said the article titled &amp;#39;&lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/RBI%20article.PDF&quot;&gt;Irrigation Management for Sustainable Agriculture&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39; analyses the trends in the area-weighted cost and efficiency of irrigation across 19 agriculturally important Indian states using the Comprehensive Cost of Cultivation data published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers&amp;#39; Welfare, for the period from 2002-03 to 2017-18.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The area-weighted cost of irrigation declined during the study period perhaps reflecting the impact of increased access to subsidised power in most of the states. However, the costs are still high in some states, said the article authored by officials in the RBI&amp;#39;s the Department of Economic and Policy Research.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The estimated technical efficiency of irrigation suggests that the majority of the states lie far from the efficiency frontier and have also recorded declining trends over the study period, the article said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The inefficiency appears to be driven by the energy consumption in the farm sector and ground water accessibility,&amp;quot; it said, and added that the findings call for policy focus on energy and water efficient irrigation technologies, particularly in states where irrigation efficiency is declining.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Cost and availability of energy to the farm sector along with the depth of ground water level appear to influence irrigation efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;

India needs to redesign irrigation policy, says RBI article

-PTI/ The Week Ensuring irrigation efficiency is of paramount importance for sustainable agriculture. India needs to redesign its irrigation policy, including by promoting improved technological interventions in the wake of depleting ground water, according to an article published in the latest issue of RBI Bulletin. In the backdrop of recurrent episodes of drought and declining groundwater table, ensuring irrigation efficiency is of paramount importance for sustainable agriculture, the article published on Tuesday said. RBI said the article titled 'Irrigation Management for Sustainable Agriculture' analyses the trends in the area-weighted cost and efficiency of irrigation across 19 agriculturally important Indian states using the Comprehensive Cost of Cultivation data published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, for the period from 2002-03 to 2017-18. The area-weighted cost of irrigation declined during the study period perhaps reflecting the impact of increased access to subsidised power in most of the states. However, the costs are still high in some states, said the article authored by officials in the RBI's the Department of Economic and Policy Research. The estimated technical efficiency of irrigation suggests that the majority of the states lie far from the efficiency frontier and have also recorded declining trends over the study period, the article said. "The inefficiency appears to be driven by the energy consumption in the farm sector and ground water accessibility," it said, and added that the findings call for policy focus on energy and water efficient irrigation technologies, particularly in states where irrigation efficiency is declining. "Cost and availability of energy to the farm sector along with the depth of ground water level appear to influence irrigation efficiency. "There is a need for redesigning irrigation policy, including promotion of improved technological interventions to correct the interstate irrigation imbalances," it said.
