The Kosi Mechi Intra-State Link Project, approved by the Cabinet under the PMKSY-AIBP, is set to benefit the state of Bihar. The project, with central support of Rs. 3,652.56 crore, aims to divert surplus water from the Kosi River for irrigation purposes. It will cover 2,10,516 hectares across Bihar's Araria, Purnea, Kishanganj, and Katihar districts, enhancing agricultural productivity. This initiative aligns with the broader objectives of the PMKSY to improve irrigation access and water resource management in the region, significantly impacting Bihar's agricultural sector.
