The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was introduced with the goals of improving water efficiency and supplying irrigation to all fields on 1 July 2015. Creating water sources, allocating and overseeing water, using it in fields and expanding associated activities are all part of this strategy. According to a notification from the Jal Shakti Ministry, this would benefit farmers with small land holdings by increasing water-use efficiency through the use of innovative technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition).
