Irrigation is an important farm implement to increase the production of both kharif and rabi season crops. A study has been conducted to highlight the policies implemented in Assam to raise agricultural productivity and to examine the growth trends of irrigation facilities in the state. The result of study reveals that Irrigation Department of Assam has implemented several schemes sponsored by Central, State, and Institutional bodies. Through the utilization of Compound Annual Growth Rate analysis, the results indicate a notable increase in Gross Irrigated Area (GIA), Net Irrigated Area (NIA), Irrigation Potential Created (IPC), and utilization of major and minor irrigation systems, as well as season-wise irrigation facilities in Assam.
