Our government will ensure to adopt this advanced irrigation system across Chhattisgarh as well: CM Shri Sai
Raipur : Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai reviewed a detailed presentation on the latest irrigation technology, PIN (Pressure Irrigation Network), presented by Shri Rajesh Rajora, Additional Chief Secretary of the Water Resources Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, in Bhopal on December 7. He shared that compared to traditional irrigation methods, this system is far more efficient, modern and aligned with water conservation principles.
During the presentation, ACS Shri Rajora stated that while conventional canal-based irrigation offers only around 35 per cent efficiency, the Pressure Irrigation Network System raises efficiency to nearly 65 per cent. Water is supplied through pressure-based pipelines, which reduce leakage and wastage, resulting in significant savings on electricity. He further noted that this system requires minimal land acquisition, enabling the timely and cost-effective completion of projects.
It was highlighted that in Madhya Pradesh, irrigation is already being provided over 13 lakh hectares using this technology, with plans to expand it to 40 lakh hectares in the coming years. This model has improved water-use efficiency and significantly enhanced both farm productivity and irrigation convenience for farmers.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai appreciated the presentation and stated that this advanced irrigation technology aligns with current and future requirements of water management. He said, “We will ensure maximum utilisation of this technology in Chhattisgarh so that farmers receive better irrigation support with less water and achieve improved productivity. From the perspective of water conservation, energy saving and fast implementation, this system will prove extremely beneficial. Through this technology, irrigation benefits can be extended even without land acquisition.” The Chief Minister directed officials to study, test and implement the system in a phased manner.
It is noteworthy that in traditional canal-based irrigation, a significant portion of water is lost due to seepage, evaporation, and uncontrolled flow, thereby restricting the actual supply to fields and resulting in uneven irrigation across the command area. Typically, the overall efficiency of the traditional system is approximately 35 % In contrast, the PIN (Pressure Irrigation Network) system delivers water directly to fields through pipelines under controlled pressure, resulting in nearly zero wastage. This raises irrigation efficiency to more than 65 per cent, which is crucial for both water conservation and increased crop output.
Since irrigation in the PIN system is entirely pipeline-based, the need for canal construction is significantly reduced, and land acquisition remains minimal. This lowers project costs and ensures timely execution. Compared to traditional methods, pumping efficiency is higher, resulting in significant electricity savings. With uniform pressure-based water delivery, even tail-end fields receive adequate water. The system yields higher crop productivity, improved water management, and increased farm income.
Shri Subodh Singh, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, along with Shri Vinod Devda, Chief Engineer of Madhya Pradesh Water Resources Department, Superintending Engineer Shri Vikas Rajoriya and Superintending Engineer Shri Shubhankar Biswas were present.
