Micro-irrigation projects are being developed with an emphasis on the western region of the country, particularly the rain-scarce states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, in order to boost economic growth in the rural areas.

India recently set a goal of micro-irrigating 100,000 hectares of agricultural land. The goal of the dedicated Micro Irrigation Fund (MIF), which the central government established with a budget of Rs. 5000 crore, is to assist states in raising funds to increase the scope of Micro irrigation.
