CADWM Programme
The main objective of CAD&WM Programme is to enhance utilisation of irrigation potential
created and improve agriculture productivity and production on a sustainable basis
through integrated and coordinated approach involving multidisciplinary team. The
programme was launched in 1974-75 and was restructured and renamed as Command Area
Development and Water Management (CADWM) Programme in 2004.
The scheme has been implemented as a State Sector Scheme during the XI Five Year

pari-passu with Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP). From 2016-17,
CADWM Program has been restricted to 99 Prioritized AIBP Projects.
