This project was initiated in the financial year 2004-05. Under this novel project firstly a floating platform is fabricated consisting of two symmetrical hollow iron cylinders. On this floating platform, a H.P. diesel driven pump is then mounted. Advantages of this scheme over previously constructed conventional Lift Irrigation Schemes are listed below:-
(a) Cost of a "Barge" L.I. Scheme comes to only 10% of a conventional L.I. Scheme, though Irrigation Potential created by both the schemes is more or less same.
(b) Barge L.I. Scheme could be used to provide irrigation along both banks of the river, but conventional L.I. Scheme could provide irrigation along one bank only.
(c) Irrigation potential of a Barge L.I. Scheme does not get affected by the change in direction of a river current, where as conventional L.I. Scheme even becomes defunct by the change in river's current.
(d) Barge L.I. Scheme is not dependent on availability of electricity .

This project in under execution since financial year - 2003-04. Under the project is 1740 tubewells of 6" dia (200mm×150mm) and 100m. depth were to be sunk. Sanctioned cost of the scheme is Rs. 9,187.20 lakh, out of which state's share is Rs. 918.72 lakh.

PROJECTS EXECUTED UNDER RASHTRIYA SAM VIKAS YOJNA
Introduction & Funding Pattern: Million Shallow Tubewell Programme (MSTP) was funded by Central Government under Rashtriya Sam Vikas Yojna. As the name of the project suggests, about 10 lakh private tubewells were to be sunk under the scheme in the state. The scheme was being executed by various branches of (Commercial and Regional Rural) Banks through NABARD. Funding pattern under the project was as follows:-
(i) 30% of the schemes' cost was provided by Govt. as AID.
(ii) Up to 20% of the schemes' cost was borne by the beneficiary as his /her contribution.
(iii) Up to 50% of the schemes' cost was provided by Banks on LOAN to the beneficiary.
The scheme was open to all sections of the farmers' community.
In order to help out farmers of drought prone districts of South Bihar, since February-2006 funding pattern for the scheme had been altered for different sections of farmers' community. The altered funding pattern was as follows:-
(a) For Farmers of SC/ST Category :
(i) AID - 50% of schemes' cost.
(ii) LOAN - Up to 40% of schemes' cost.
(iii) Beneficiaries' contribution on Margin Money - Up to 10% of schemes' cost.
(b) For small and Marginal Farmers of General Category :
(i) AID - 40% of schemes' cost.
(ii) LOAN - Up to 50% of schemes' cost.
(iii) Beneficiaries' contribution on Margin Money - Up to 10% of schemes' cost.
(c) For rest of the farmers of general category of South Bihar as well as farmers of all categories of North Bihar the funding pattern remains unchanged i.e.:
(i) AID - 30% of schemes' cost.
(ii) LOAN - Up to 50% of schemes' cost.
(iii) Beneficiaries' contribution on Margin Money - Up to 20% of schemes' cost.
Final Status:
Under this project, up to the end of financial year 2006-07, as per NABARD against a target of 6,97,111 units 4,07,758 units had been sunk. Planning Commission had given an amount of Rs. 544.64 Crore to NABARD for utilization as subsidy for the scheme. Against this amount NABARD had released Rs. 312.97 Crore to beneficiaries as subsidy through various branches of commercial and rural banks. The residual subsidy amount of Rs. 213.67 crore with NABARD is at present being used in execution of Bihar Ground Water Scheme (BIGWIS).
