Conceived in 1987, this predominant irrigation project turned into to be completed in 1992. The assignment involved constructing a dam on the Lendi river to shop over 6 trillion cubic metres of water before it joined the Manjira river, a tributary of the Godavari, the most important river of peninsular India. The mission being completed by using the Godavari Marathwada Irrigation improvement employer Ltd became at the beginning envisaged to be constructed on the price of half a billion rupees. but in 2016, government similarly pushed the completion date to 2020 with a revised price of Rs 14 billion. If the challenge is completed after 28 years of delay, it'll be part of 16 different such irrigation tasks in Maharashtra that have been placing fire for over decades. a lot of these projects are inside the excessive drought-hit regions of Vidarbha and Marathwada in the state.
This shouldn’t were lots of a bother for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who receives set to give his government’s final full-fledged finances on February 1, 2018. however the truth that such behind schedule tasks dot Maharashtra could truly rankle the finance minister. records sourced from his ministry indicates that these multi-decade delays in finishing minor and major irrigation tasks throughout Maharashtra have value the government a whole lot of cash through the years. Out of a total of 29 irrigation tasks underneath construction in the country, 16 are delayed with huge time lags. these tasks that ought to have been completed at an expected cost of Rs 9 billion will now end up costing more than Rs 50 billion. And the destiny of those anticipated to be commissioned in 2018 nevertheless stays doubtful.
