As far as irrigation is concerned, I am sorry to say that the funds that allotted to irrigation are very less. Irrigation must be given top priority. Inter-linking of rivers must be thought of. Rivers must be nationalized. There shall be a National Water Policy or else as you know Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are fighting with each other on the Cauvery Water Issue. So it has to be done on a priority basis. The country cannot be divided on these issues. It is important to see that the National Water Policy is adopted as early as possible.
