Plan IAS

A Very important development took place recently.
The Govt of India has amended the Schedule 1 of MGNREA 2005 act
And now, 65% of the MGNREA funds will be used in rural water conservation

Like construction of ponds, canals, micro irrigation, rainwater harvesting, etc

So cool !!!

Climate change can impact rice and wheat yields in the next 20 yrs
Also events of droughts are now frequent due to climate change

And in this context this decision will be a master stroke

Kudos to the Senior IAS who suggested this reform to the PMO
