    "content": "“Large scale irrigation scheme” means a scheme whose acreage size covers over three thousand acres, and is developed and managed by the Authority, and is established for national strategic purposes, or such schemes as implemented by the private sector”. We are talking of Galana and other Government or private-owned irrigation schemes. I have redefined what a large scale irrigation scheme is. This is to secure the national strategic interest as a country and provide avenues for strategic interventions on account of irrigation. Where we have food deficit, the government can come in. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the last one is on storage, which I seek to redefine as follows: “Infrastructure and practices designed to capture and store water for use in irrigation”. This is just to make it consistent with the object of the Act citing irrigation and not agriculture. That is the rationale of those amendments."
