Chief Minister Irrigation Task Force and Rs 32,000 crore projects

The manifesto promised a Chief Minister Irrigation Task Force to complete Rs 32,000 crore irrigation projects on time. Government publicity after the election repeated this commitment, and state budget evidence shows continued irrigation spending. Several named projects in the package have tender, land-acquisition, environmental-clearance or construction-progress evidence. However, no approved-source evidence was found for formal notification of the task force itself, and no utilisation statement was found for the exact Rs 32,000 crore package. The verdict is partial because project-level movement exists but the promised monitoring mechanism and full package delivery are not verified. Budget: irrigation allocation exists in state budgets, but allocation and utilisation for the exact Rs 32,000 crore package were not found.
