Saryu Nahar Pariyojana: PM Modi inaugurated Saryu Nahar National Project in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh on December 11, 2021. The work on Saryu Nahar National Project had started in 1978, however, because of a lack of continuity of budgetary support, adequate monitoring, and interdepartmental coordination, the ambitious project got delayed and was not completed even after nearly 4 decades.
In 2016, Saryu Nahar National Project was brought under Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana with a target of completing it in a time-bound manner. The renewed focus on the project by the Central Government resulted in the project being completed in the time period of only about 4 years.
