Our Assessment

The manifesto listed Bahuti canal project in Satna and Rewa. Forest-clearance material confirms that the Bahuti Canal Scheme is proposed to irrigate 65,000 hectares of land in Rewa and Satna districts using water from the Bansagar reservoir by flow and partial lift. This establishes the project and its intended geography. However, no approved-source evidence was found in this pass showing completion, commissioning or actual irrigation delivery after the 2023 manifesto. The verdict is pending because the project scope is verified but delivery is not. Budget: no current allocation and utilisation evidence for completion of the Bahuti canal promise was found.
