APMIP is being implemented with the assistance from Government of India, State Government and farmer contribution. In  view of the deficit Rainfall, Rain shadow regions, unpredictable rains and considerable depletion of ground water, the  farming community realized the need to adopt the technologies of Micro Irrigation to achieve the concept of “More  crop per Drop”. Government of Andhra Pradesh has set a goal to cover the entire potential area available in all the 13  districts of Andhra Pradesh under Micro Irrigation, within the next five years. Keeping in view of this the present paper  makes an attempt to study the progress made under APMIP in Andhra Pradesh.
