Under IWMP a target for covering 22.65 million ha was set for 11th Plan. Against this, a total area of 24.213 million ha (5087 projects) has been sanctioned by State Level Nodal Agencies (SLNAs) of 27 States. The target for sanction of new projects under IWMP for the year 2012-13 is 5.00 million ha.
