Hello,

Under the Mission, assistance will be provided for creating water sources through construction of community

be linked with Micro Irrigation facility for judicious use of water. Cost is estimated at Rs.15 lakh per unit
for an area of 10 ha of command with pond/tank size of 100 m x 100m x 3 m; owned and managed by
community / farmers group. For smaller size of the ponds/tanks, cost will be admissible on pro rata basis,
depending upon command area. Assistance under NHM will be limited to cost of plastic / RCC lining.
However, for non MNREGS beneficiaries, 100% assistance will be provided including the cost of plastic /
RCC lining. Maintenance of the water source will be responsibility of the community.
