Executive summary
In an agrarian economy like India, agriculture utilizes the major share of country’s exploitable
water resources. Though the sector utilizes the maximum share of exploitable water resources,
availability of the same at different locations to different extent makes it vital to adopt effective
utilization of water through storage, channelizing and judicial use. At some places like Punjab and
Haryana, the environmental and socio-economic rationale for this capture by the sector is now
being questioned. Accordingly, it is needed to challenge and change the fundamentals of the
prevailing view of water resources exploitation. A new and more suitable approach to water
resources allocation is necessary if the population is to be adequately fed, without further
degradation and destruction of the critical ecosystem services. Water productivity needs to be
enhanced considerably, and economic cost-benefit analysis and pricing regimes can play a
significant role in such a process. However, these economic measures will not be sufficient on
their own. They will need to be buttressed by technological innovation and institutional changes
in order to encourage a more equitable distribution of resources and to mitigate potential
international conflicts across 'shared' water basins.
Water has unique characteristics that determine both its allocation and use as a resource by
agriculture. Agricultural use of water for irrigation is itself contingent on land resources. In a
situation of growing water scarcity and rising demands for non-agricultural (household and
industrial) use of water, reassessment of sectoral allocations of water are inevitable. In developing
countries, irrigated agriculture plays a vital role in contributing towards domestic food security
and poverty alleviation. Therefore, achievement of these objectives is dependent on adequate
allocations of water to agriculture. Justification of such allocations requires that irrigated
agriculture be a cost-effective means of achieving stated political or social objectives, such as food
security or poverty alleviation, and that all externalities be taken into account in the pricing
mechanism. Improved allocation of irrigation water is required within the agriculture sectors in
order to achieve greater efficiency in the use of irrigation water and existing irrigation
infrastructure. Reallocation is also required in order to reduce waterlogging and salinization of
irrigated land, to decrease the negative environmental impacts and other externalities of
irrigation (caused by overextraction of groundwater and depletion and pollution of surface water).
Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to address the
constraints in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of
10 | P a g e
current water use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India
were reflected in the Hon’ble President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th
Lok Sabha where he indicated that “Each drop of water is precious. Government is committed to
giving high priority to water security. It will complete the long pending irrigation projects on
priority and launch the ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana’ with the motto of ‘Har Khet Ko
Pani’. There is a need for seriously considering all options including linking of rivers, where
feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the recurrence of floods and
drought. By harnessing rain water through ‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’, we will nurture water
conservation and ground water recharge. Micro irrigation will be popularised to ensure ‘Per drop-
More crop”.
PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 crore over a period of five years
from 2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry
of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture &
Cooperation and Ministry of Rural Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI,
SWMA, Watershed & Convergence with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella
program of PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks convergence with scheme like Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNRES), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana
(RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural Electrification programmes
(JLNNSM&REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Members of Parliament Local
Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development
Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department (WPSFD)
etc. The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a
decentralized state level planning and projectised execution structure that will allow the state to
draw up their own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7
years. The program will be supervised and coordinated utilizing the existing mechanism and
structure available under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) program with state agriculture
department acting as the State Nodal Agency for implementation of PMKSY. However, the
implementing departments for the four components like AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani),
PMKSY (Per drop more crop) and PMKSY (watershed development) will be decided by the
respective program ministry/department.
The 05 chapters along with introduction chapter, explains the profile of district, its water
requirement for agriculture and allied sector, water availability, assessment of water requirement
for various sectors and strategic action plan for augmentation and effective management of
11 | P a g e
available water resources.
District Demography: Bilaspur district which forms the north-western portion of the southern
Himachal Pradesh, is located between 310 12’ 30” and 310 35’45” North latitudes and 760 23’ 30”
and 760 55’ 40” East longitudes. The district has a three blocks viz. Bilaspur Sadar, Ghumarwin
and Jhanduta. The total population of the district is 3,81,956, out of which population of female
and male are 1,89,192 and 1,92,764 (census 2011).
Agriculture in Bilaspur: It has been observed from records of Revenue department in the
district that the Gross Cropped Area is 56,901 hectare out of which 14,604 hectare and 13,544
hectare i.e. around 26% and 24% of the area falls in Ghumarwin and Jhandutta Tehsil
respectively. Ghumarwin and Jhandutta Tehsil also records for maximum net sown area of 7354
hectare and 6789 hectares i.e. around 25% and 23% of the net sown area of the district. The
cropping intensity in Jhandutta Tehsil is 199.5% which is highest among other Tehsils in the
district. For rest of the Tehsils, the average cropping intensity is 193%.
As reported by Revenue Department of the district, the total irrigated area in the district is 5,299
hectare which covers only around 10% of the gross cropped area i.e. 51,169 ha. The total cropped
area during Rabi is 31935 ha, of which only 8.4% is irrigated and remaining is under rainfed
cultivation. A total of 6235 hectare is utilized for cultivation of Horticultural and Plantation crops,
out of this irrigated area is to the extent of 20% of the total area covered under this category of
crops.
The major proportion of land in the district is used for cultivation of cereals. Considering all the
blocks, cereals occupy more than 96% of the gross cropped area under agriculture. Wheat, Maize
and Paddy are the three major cereals crops in Bilaspur district. The other food crops which are
grown in the district are Gram, Mash, Sesamum, Mustard and vegetables (Toria, Gobi, Lime and
others). Among the horticulture crops, the most significant ones are Mango, Aonla, Plum and
Litchi.
District Water Profile: As reported by the IPH Bilaspur, only lift irrigation system prevails in
the district. The facility of irrigation through canal is not available in the district. Through LIS, a
total area of 899.98 hectare and 967.5 hectare is being irrigated during Kharif and Rabi season
respectively.
There has been no assessment of availability of ground water in Bilaspur district by Central
Ground Water Board and hence the potential/ availability of ground water in the district cannot
12 | P a g e
be commented upon. Among the ground water sources, 444 Borewells and 135 electricity pumps
are available in the district but these are with individual for personal use (irrigation and other
purpose).
Demand for water sources and the gap: The present water demand of the district has been
assessed at 96.75 MCM annually, with Ghumarwin being the block with maximum requirement
of water. Shri Nainadevi and Bilaspur Sadar blocks stand at 2nd and 3rd position with
approximately 23% and 22% of total water required by district. During 2020, the demand shall
be proportionate to the current water demand and total water requirement has been assessed at
99.2 MCM. The total water gap for the district has been estimated at 66.3 MCM during 2020. The
gap is maximum in case of Ghumarwin with 23.2 MCM followed by Jhandutta (15.7 MCM) and
Bilaspur Sadar (15.3 MCM).
Component wise proposed plan: The plan is prepared component wise also. Table below
shows component wise plan for 4 years starting from 2016-17 to 2019-20. AIBP component has
to be executed mainly by Irrigation and Public Health Department. Per Drop More Crop
components will be executed by Agriculture and Horticulture departments mainly. All the
stakeholders need to have coordination among themselves to have the maximum irrigation
efficiency and to avoid duplicity. It is observed that maximum share of 57.91% is for Har Khet ko
Pani followed by PMKSY Watershed 24.51% and Per Drop More Crop- Supplementary Water
Management activities (5.59%).

INTRODUCTION
Background
Preparation of decentralized area specific district planning process visualized in various plans
took concrete shape through the years and initiatives like specific guidelines on methodologies
and processes for preparation of district plans; framework for preparation of perspective plan,
medium term and annual plans by then planning commission in 1969 and the 73rd and 74th
constitutional amendments conferring constitutional status to Panchayats at district and sub
district level; local self-government in urban areas; constitution of district planning committee to
consolidate the plans prepared at Panchayats and municipalities and prepare a draft development
plan for the whole district.
The decentralized planning process was further strengthened through emphasis by planning
commission on preparation of district level plans and making it an integral part of the process of
preparation of the states 11th five year plan. The Planning commission issued guidelines in August
2006 for preparation of the district plans. The guidelines define the District Planning as ‘the
process of preparing an integrated plan for the local government sector in a district taking into
account the resources (natural, human and financial) available and covering the sectoral activities
and schemes assigned to the district level and below and those implemented through local
governments in a state. The document that embodies this statement of resources and their
allocation for various purposes is known as the District Plan”.
Government of India through a resolution in National Development Council on 29th May 2007
conceived a special Additional Central Assistance Scheme (ACAS) to address the slow growth of
agriculture and allied sectors by incentivizing states to draw up plans for their agriculture sectors
more comprehensively. The NDC resolution states "GoI will introduce a new Additional Central
Assistance Scheme to incentivize states to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more
comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resource issues and technology into
account, and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries, etc. This will involve a new scheme for
Additional Central Assistance (ACA) to State Plans, administered by the Union Ministry of
Agriculture over and above its existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes, to supplement the State-
14 | P a g e
specific strategies including special schemes for beneficiaries of land reforms. The newly created
National Rainfed Area Authority will, on request, assist States in planning for rainfed areas".
The NDC in its resolution advised the states to prepare a comprehensive district agriculture plans
(C-DAP) that will fully utilize available resources and will include allied agriculture sectors.
Further, GOI issued a manual on preparation of comprehensive district agriculture plans to help
the states prepare C-DAP. As per these guidelines, the objective of district planning is ‘to design
an integrated and participatory action plan for the development of local area in general and
agriculture and allied sectors in particular’. The objectives of Comprehensive District Agriculture
Plan (C-DAP) are:
To prepare a Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) through participatory
process involving various organisations and stakeholders.
To enable optimum utilisation of scarce natural, physical & financial resources.
To assess and plan for the infrastructure required to support the agriculture development.
To establish linkages with the required institutional support services, like credit, technology
transfer, ICT, research etc.
To evolve an action plan for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with food security and
cropping system that will improve farmers’ income.
The guidelines required the state/district authorities to (i) ensure that the agricultural plans are
prepared for the district and then integrated into the agricultural plans of the State based on the
agro-climatic conditions, availability of technology, trained manpower and natural resources; (ii)
local needs / crops / feed and fodder / animal husbandry / dairying / fisheries / priorities are
reflected in the plan; (iii) productivity gaps for important crops and livestock and fisheries are
reduced; and (iv) the returns to the farmers from these are maximized.
The latest move in the process of strengthening of decentralized planning process was the
Government of India guidelines issued in 2015 in the form of a template for the preparation of
District Irrigation Plan (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP) as part of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi
Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) program and made the preparation of DIP and SIP mandatory for the
states to receive funds from the program. The present report is a product of these long drawn
efforts of Government of India to strengthen the decentralized planning process in the country
focusing on the vital resource i.e., water.
Water is of vital importance for human & animal life, maintenance of ecological balance and
15 | P a g e
promotion of developmental activities. Considering its vital importance and ever increasing
demand for water, in the face of population growth, urbanization & industrialization and
considerations of climatic change, making water, an increasingly a scarce resource, available to
multiple uses, planning and management of this vital resources, utilization of water economically,
optimally and equitably assumes greater importance.
According to the 12th Five year Plan the water budget estimates of India by Ministry of Water
Resources suggests an availability of 1123 billion cubic meters (BCM) against a current estimated
demand of 710 BCM. The Standing Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources estimates that
this water demand will rise to 1093 BCM by 2025. Though the existing water availability in the
immediate future seems to be adequate, with the near constant supply of water resources in the
face of increasing demand on account of population growth, urbanisation and industrialization
will strain the water supply-demand balance.
The per capita water availability which stood at 5,177 cubic meters in 1951 was reduced to 1820
cubic meters in 2001 while the international prescribed limit is 1800 cubic meters. The projected
per capita availability of water is 1341 cubic meters in 2025 and 1140 cubic meters in 2050
suggesting shortage of water in the medium term1. Further, the all India water balance estimates
does not reflect the variations in water balance across time and space- certain areas having a
positive water balance and the others facing acute shortage. The problem is further accentuated
by water quality related issues.
With the abundant surface and ground water supply in the first five decades since independence,
more than 80 percent of the total available water resources were allocated for irrigation purposes
and the rest meeting the domestic and industrial demands. In a recent study2on the demand for
water from agriculture, domestic and industrial uses in 2000, 2025 and 2050 seems to suggest
that domestic demand (34 BCM in 2000, 66 BCM in 2025 and 101 BCM in 2050) and industrial
demand (42 BCM in 2000, 92 BCM in 2025 and 161 BCM in 2050) for water will utilize the total
balance water available while agriculture demand for water will be (605 BCM in 2000, 675 BCM
in 2025 and 637 BCM in 2050). This change is partly because of the changing sectoral
contributions of India’s GDP and also partly because of dynamics of irrigation development in the

country where the initial expansion in area under irrigation is propelled by the availability of
abundant water resources and availability of good quality land. This is no longer the case in many
of the states where the availability of land and water are serious constraints for further expansion
of irrigation. Further, as per the erstwhile planning commission up to March 2012 out of 141
million hectares of net sown area in the country 114 (or 81%) million hectares is Irrigation
Potential Created (IPC) and 88 (or 62%) million hectares is Irrigation Potential Utilised (IPU)
leaving almost 20% of irrigated potential unutilized. This leaves 40 percent of the net sown area
in the country dependent on rainfall which makes farming a high risk and less productive.
The competing demands for water resources and the emerging issues and concerns were to be
addressed through certain basic principles and commonality in approaches in dealing with
planning, development and management of water resources3 under an Integrated Water Resource
Management framework. The main objectives of water resource management as delineated in
National Water Policy 2012 are:
(i) Planning, development and management of water resources need to be governed by common
integrated perspective considering local, regional, State and national context, having an
environmentally sound basis, keeping in view the human, social and economic needs.
(ii) Principle of equity and social justice must inform use and allocation of water.
(iii) Good governance through transparent informed decision making is crucial to the objectives
of equity, social justice and sustainability. Meaningful intensive participation, transparency and
accountability should guide decision making and regulation of water resources.
(iv) Water needs to be managed as a common pool community resource held, by the state, under
public trust doctrine to achieve food security, support livelihood, and ensure equitable and
sustainable development for all.
(v) Water is essential for sustenance of eco-system, and therefore, minimum ecological needs
should be given due consideration.
(vi) Safe Water for drinking and sanitation should be considered as pre-emptive needs, followed
by high priority allocation for other basic domestic needs (including needs of animals), achieving
food security, supporting sustenance agriculture and minimum eco-system needs. Available

water, after meeting the above needs, should be allocated in a manner to promote its conservation
and efficient use.
(vii) All the elements of the water cycle, i.e., evapo-transpiration, precipitation, runoff, river, lakes,
soil moisture, and ground water, sea, etc., are interdependent and the basic hydrological unit is
the river basin, which should be considered as the basic hydrological unit for planning.
(viii) Given the limits on enhancing the availability of utilizable water resources and increased
variability in supplies due to climate change, meeting the future needs will depend more on
demand management, and hence, this needs to be given priority, especially through (a) evolving
an agricultural system which economizes on water use and maximizes value from water, and (b)
bringing in maximum efficiency in use of water and avoiding wastages.
(ix) Water quality and quantity are interlinked and need to be managed in an integrated manner,
consistent with broader environmental management approaches inter-alia including the use of
economic incentives and penalties to reduce pollution and wastage.
(x) The impact of climate change on water resources availability must be factored into water
management related decisions. Water using activities need to be regulated keeping in mind the
local geo climatic and hydrological situation.
Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to address the
constraints in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of
current water use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India
were reflected in the Hon’ble President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok
Sabha where he indicated that “Each drop of water is precious. Government is
committed to giving high priority to water security. It will complete the long
pending irrigation projects on priority and launch the ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi
Sinchayee Yojana’ with the motto of ‘Har Khet Ko Pani’. There is a need for
seriously considering all options including linking of rivers, where feasible; for
ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the recurrence of floods
and drought. By harnessing rain water through ‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’,
we will nurture water conservation and ground water recharge. Micro irrigation
will be popularised to ensure ‘Per drop-More crop”.
PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 crore over a period of five years
from 2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry
18 | P a g e
of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture &
Cooperation and Ministry of Rural Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI,
SWMA, Watershed & Convergence with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella
program of PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks convergence with scheme likeMahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNRES), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana
(RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural Electrification programmes
(JLNNSM&REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Members of Parliament Local
Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development
Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department (WPSFD)
etc. The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a
decentralized state level planning and projected execution structure that will allow the state to
draw up their own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7
years. The program will be supervised and coordinated utilizing the existing mechanism and
structure available under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) program with state agriculture
department acting as the State Nodal Agency for implementation of PMKSY. However, the
implementing departments for the four components like AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani),
PMKSY (Per drop more crop) and PMKSY (watershed development) will be decided by the
respective program ministry/department.
The funds under this program would be provided to the states as per the pattern of assistance of
Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) decided by the Ministry of Finance and NITI Aayog. During
2015-16 the existing pattern of assistance of ongoing scheme was continued. An outlay of Rs.
50,000 crore has been approved for 2015-20. The financial assistance provided to the state
governments from this centrally sponsored scheme is subject to fulfillment of certain
conditions.Firstly, a state will become eligible to access PMKSY fund only if it has prepared the
District Irrigation Plans (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP), excepting for the initial year, and
the expenditure in water resource development for agriculture sector in the year under
consideration is not less than the baseline expenditure, which is defined as the average of the
expenditure in irrigation sector irrespective of the department in the state plan in three years prior
to the year under consideration. Secondly, States will be given additional weightage for levying
charges on water and electricity for irrigation purposes, so as to ensure sustainability of the
programme. Thirdly, interstate allocation of PMKSY fund will be decided based on
19 | P a g e
share of percentage of unirrigated area in the state vis-à-vis national average including
prominence of areas classified under Desert Development Programme (DDP) and Drought
Prone Area Development Programme (DPAP)
increase in percentage share of expenditure on water resource development for agriculture
sector in State Plan expenditure in the previous year over three years prior to it and
improvement in irrigation efficiency in the state.
Vision
The overreaching vision of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) will be to ensure
access to some means of protective irrigation to all agricultural farms in the country, to produce
‘per drop more crop’, thus bringing much desired rural prosperity.
Objective
The objectives of the PMKSY are to :
a) Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of district level
and, if required, sub district level water use plans).
b) Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured
irrigation (Har Khet ko Pani),
c) Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through
appropriate technologies and practices.
d) Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in
duration and extent,
e) Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop
per drop).
f) Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices
g) Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed approach towards soil
and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff, providing livelihood
options and other NRM activities.
h) Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop
alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
i) Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture, and
20 | P a g e
j) Attract greater private investments in irrigation.
Strategy/approach
To achieve these objectives PMKSY adopted strategies that include
a) Creation of new water sources; repair, restoration and renovation of defunct water sources;
construction of water harvesting structures, secondary & micro storage, groundwater
development, enhancing potentials of traditional water bodies at village level like Jal Mandir
(Gujarat); Khatri, Kuhl (H.P.); Zabo (Nagaland); Eri, Ooranis (T.N.); Dongs (Assam); Katas,
Bandhas (Odisha and M.P.) etc.
b) Developing/augmenting distribution network where irrigation sources (both assured and
protective) are available or created;
c) Promotion of scientific moisture conservation and run off control measures to improve ground
water recharge so as to create opportunities for farmers to access recharged water through shallow
tube/dug wells;
d) Promoting efficient water conveyance and field application devices within the farm viz,
underground piping system, Drip & Sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns and other application devices
etc.;
e) Encouraging community irrigation through registered user groups/farmer producers’
organisations/NGOs; and
f) Farmer oriented activities like capacity building, training and exposure visits, demonstrations,
farm schools, skill development in efficient water and crop management practices (crop
alignment) including large scale awareness on more crop per drop of water through mass media
campaign, exhibitions, field days, and extension activities through short animation films etc.
Programme Components
PMKSY has following four components:
Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme(AIBP) a) To focus on faster completion of
ongoing Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani) a) Creation of new water sources through Minor Irrigation (both
surface and ground water) b) Repair, restoration and renovation of water bodies; strengthening
carrying capacity of traditional water sources, construction rain water harvesting structures (Jal
Sanchay); c) Command area development, strengthening and creation of distribution network
21 | P a g e
from source to the farm; d) Ground water development in the areas where it is abundant, so that
sink is created to store runoff/ flood water during peak rainy season. e) Improvement in water
management and distribution system for water bodies to take advantage of the available source
which is not tapped to its fullest capacity (deriving benefits from low hanging fruits). At least 10%
of the command area to be covered under micro/precision irrigation. f) Diversion of water from
source of different location where it is plenty to nearby water scarce areas, lift irrigation from
water bodies/rivers at lower elevation to supplement requirements beyond IWMP and
MGNREGS irrespective of irrigation command. g) Creating and rejuvenating traditional water
storage systems like Khatri, Kuhl etc. at feasible locations.
PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop) a) Programme management, preparation of State/District
Irrigation Plan, approval of annual action plan, Monitoring etc. b) Promoting efficient water
conveyance and precision water application devices like drips, sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the
farm (Jal Sinchan); c) Topping up of input cost particularly under civil construction beyond
permissible limit (40%), under MGNREGS for activities like lining inlet, outlet, silt traps,
distribution system etc. d) Construction of micro irrigation structures to supplement source
creation activities including tube wells and dug wells (in areas where ground water is available
and not under semi critical /critical /over exploited category of development) which are not
supported under AIBP, PMKSY (Har Khet ko Pani), PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS as per
block/district irrigation plan. e) Secondary storage structures at tail end of canal system to store
water when available in abundance (rainy season) or from perennial sources like streams for use
during dry periods through effective on-farm water management; f) Water lifting devices like
diesel/ electric/ solar pumpsets including water carriage pipes, underground piping system. g)
Extension activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures
including cropping alignment to maximise use of available water including rainfall and minimise
irrigation requirement (Jal Sarankchan); h) Capacity building, training and awareness campaign
including low cost publications, use of pico projectors and low cost films for encouraging potential
use water source through technological, agronomic and management practices including
community irrigation. i) The extension workers will be empowered to disseminate relevant
technologies under PMKSY only after requisite training is provided to them especially in the area
of promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures, improved/ innovative
distribution system like pipe and box outlet system, etc. Appropriate Domain Experts will act as
Master Trainers. j) Information Communication Technology (ICT) interventions through NeGP-
A to be made use in the field of water use efficiency, precision irrigation technologies, on farm
water management, crop alignment etc. and also to do intensive monitoring of the Scheme.
22 | P a g e
PMKSY (Watershed Development)
a) Effective management of runoff water and improved soil & moisture conservation activities
such as ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment, rain water harvesting, in-situ moisture
conservation and other allied activities on watershed basis. b) Converging with MGNREGS for
creation of water source to full potential in identified backward rainfed blocks including
renovation of traditional water bodies

throughout the period.
1.4 Agro-Ecology, Climate, Hydrology and Topography
Bilaspur district is located in Shivalik ranges and forms part of the lesser Himalayas. It has a
diverse landscape of hills, valleys with piedmont zone. There are seven main hill ranges i.e. Naina
Devi, Kot, jhanjiar, Tiun, Bandla, Bahaurpur and Ratanpur constituting the hill system. The
elevation of the lowest point is about 290 m amsl and of the highest peak i.e. Bhadurpur hill is
1980 m amsl.
The major river that passes through the middle of the district from east to west is Sutlej. It enters
the district near a place known as Kasol in the north-west and after traversing a course of 90 km,
it leaves near Naila and enters the territory of Punjab in the south-west. The Sutlej is joined by
several tributaries from both sides. The main three tributaries are Ali Khad, Gamrola Khad and
Seer Khad. The length of Ali Khad is about 26 km. It arises in Shimla district and after passing
through Bahadurpur Dhar joins the river Sutlej at Bilaspur. Gamrola Khad also arises in Shimla
district and after draining the RattanpurDhar joins the river about 5 km downwards from Bilaspur

town. Seer Khad which is the third tributary of Sutlej originates at Wah Devi which is 10 km from
Sarkaghat in Mandi district. After draining Kot-Ki-Dhar and a greater portion of Ghumarwin
tehsil, it joins Sutlej River at village Serimatla which is about 15 kms downwards from Bilaspur
town.
The drainage maps of district as given below indicates the flow of water bodies, streams and river
in Bilaspur. Map 1.2 depicts the amount of water before onset of monsoon and Map 1.3 illustrates
the presence of water post- monsoon. It can be clearly seen that during summer season, the
districts primarily is dry except the western and south western part where water body is situated.
However, after monsoon, all the tributaries and sub-tributaries throughout the district are
recharged. Due to high elevation, these tributaries join the main river.
Climate and Rainfall
The climate of this district is generally temperate. The terrain is mountainous, particularly in the portion of
the district to the southwest of Sutlej. The portion to the north and west of Sutlej is slightly hilly with
elevations generally between 500 and 700 m with some well-defined ridges going upto higher elevations.

As per District Agriculture plan, the records of rainfall in the district are available for three
stations, namely Bilaspur (Obsy), Bilaspur (Sadar) and Ghumarwinfor period ranging from 32 to 39
years. It has been observed that the monsoon rainfall occurs mainly during July to September,
with July being the month receiving maximum rainfall. The average annual rainfall in the district
is 1256.7 mm [refer table 1.9].
Temperature
There is only one observatory in the district located at Bilaspur. Climatic conditions prevailed at
Bilaspur may be taken to be broadly representative of the whole district, except for regions at
higher elevations where the temperatures would generally be less than those at Bilaspur. From
beginning of March, temperatures begin to rise steadily till June, which is usually the hottest
month of the year with the mean daily maximum temperature of 36.7 0C and the mean daily

minimum temperature of 23.1 0C. With the advance of the southwest monsoon over the district
by about the beginning of July, the day temperature drops appreciably while the night
temperatures continue to be as warm as in June. After about the middle of September,
temperatures begin to decrease, the fall in night temperature being more rapid than that of day
temperature. January is the coldest month of the year with the mean daily minimum temperature
of 4.9 0C. In the cold season from December to February, the cold waves affect the district in wake
of passing western disturbances and at times minimum temperature may drop down to about
freezing point of water and frosts may occur.
Humidity
In the southwest monsoon season the values of relative humidity are high. The values of relative
humidity in the early mornings are generally high during throughout the year except in the latter
part of summer. In the summer, particularly in afternoons, the values of relative humidity are low
about 40 percent.
Cloudiness and Winds
As mentioned in District Agriculture plan, skies are usually clear or lightly clouded in the post
monsoon and winter season. Heavily clouded to overcast skies prevail in the southwest monsoon
season.

1.5 Soil Profile
Bilaspur district is dominated with Brown Earths (Eutrochrepts and Hapludalfs) in gently sloping
lands of Shivaliks. The soils of side slope of Shiwalik hills are shallow to medium, excessively
drained, loamy skeletal (gravelly), coarse to fine loamy in texture with moderate to severe erosion.
These are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline with low to medium AWC. The soils are classified as
Ustorthents and Eutrochrepts.
Table 1.10: Soil classes in Bilaspur Major Soil Classes Area (Ha) Shallow to medium deep, loamy soils 1700 Medium deep to deep loamy soils 3100 Medium deep to deep, loamy-skeletal soils 95700 Medium deep, loamy, calcareous soils 4600 Shallow, sandy soils 4200 Deep, loamy soils 1350 Medium deep, loamy soils 1500
As indicated in Table 1.10, the soils on ridge tops are medium to deep, well to excessively drained,
loamy skeletal with severe to very severe erosion. The soils are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline
soils with low AWC. These have also been classified as Ustorthents and Eutrochrepts. The soils of
very gently to gently sloping piedmont plains are medium to deep, well drained, coarse loamy to
fine loamy with slight to moderate erosion. They are non-calcareous to calcareous and neutral to
moderately alkaline with medium to high AWC. These soils are mostly classified as Eutrochrepts
and Udifluvents. The nearly level to very gently active flood plains have deep, well to excessively
drained, mostly stratified, coarse loamy to fine loamy soils with slight erosion and stoniness.
These soils are mostly prone to slight to moderate flooding. The soils have been classified as
Ustifluvents and Psamments. The soils of district Bilaspur are low to medium in available N, P
and K. In Jukhala area of Sadar Block, deficiency of Zn has been observed. The soils of the district
are prone to water erosion. The soils are having low to medium status of organic carbon. With
some variation in valley areas where soils are deep fertile having good water holding capacity.
Contrarily, soils in Changar areas are shallow and stony. A few pockets in these situations are well

drained and rich in organic matter. Whereas, a peculiar situation exists in the basin of
GovindSagar reservoir where soils are sandy, low in organic matter, neutral to alkaline having
poor water holding capacity [Map 4 depicts the soil map of the district]
Map 1.4: Soil map of Bilaspur
1.6 Soil Erosion and Runoff Status
Physiography of the area is dominated by irregular, undulating topography, shallow depth, steep
slopes, coarse texture, poor soil structure, scanty vegetative cover and erratic rainfall. Thus, the
soils are subjected to severe soil erosion during rainy season. During dry spell, the soil dries up
quickly due to evaporation and transpiration. The crops experience drought conditions and
consequently the crop yields are affected adversely. At times the extent of damage is alarming.
Undulating topography makes the development of irrigation facilities difficult.
38 | P a g e
Slope and aspect of an area are vital parameters in deciding suitable land use for the area, as the
degree and direction of the slope decide the land use that the area can support. Slope is also very
important while determining the land irritability and capability classification and has direct
bearing on the runoff. Slope and aspects are also helpful in prioritizing area for development
measures and in deciding sites for irrigation projects, afforestation programmes etc.
Due to topographical factors, the soil is subject to splash, sheet and Gully erosion resulting into
degradation of the soil. Besides this, there is biotic pressure on the lands to the curb this menace
particularly on the agricultural lands.
1.7 Land use Pattern
The total geographical area (TGA) of Bilaspur is 1,11,776 hectare. The largest Tehsil of the district
is Jhandutta which comprises of a TGA of 31,041 hectare i.e. about 28% of the TGA of the district.
The Figures 1.8& 1.9 indicate the change in land use pattern in the district. Notable attributes are
decrease of 12% in area under forest and slight increase of 1% in area under agriculture. Significant
increase of approximately 10 % has been observed in spread of Barren land over the period of 13
years.
It has been observed from records of Revenue department in the district that the Gross Cropped
Area of the district is 56,901 hectare out of which 14,604 hectare and 13,544 hectare i.e. around
26% and 24% of the area falls in Ghumarwin and Jhandutta Tehsil respectively. Ghumarwin and
Jhandutta Tehsil also records for maximum net sown area of 7354 hectare and 6789 hectares i.e.

As per National Forest Policy, 66% of the area in the hilly regions of the state and 33% in plains is
to be brought under forest cover. However, keeping in view that about 20% of the area is
inaccessible and beyond the tree limit, the State Government aims to bring 50% of the
geographical area under forest cover.
The development of forestry sector assumes greater significance as it not only provides direct
benefits in terms of production of timber, sandal wood, fodder etc. but also intangible benefits on
the fragile eco-system. There is scope for improving the density of trees in the forest areas as also
afforestation on problematic / wasteland available in the district and through diversification of
agriculture to agro forestry. Depending upon the site, some of the fast growing species that can be
selected are Khair, Eucalyptus, Poplar and Bamboo.
Within Bilaspur, Jhandutta Tehsil contributes for maximum forest area i.e. 37% (5173 hectare) of
the total forest area of the district followed by Sh Naina Devi Tehsil (27%, 3766 hectare) and
Ghumarwin (18%, 2535 hectare).
In Jhandutta and Bilaspur Sadar Tehsil, the area under wasteland is to the tune of 6.4% of the
total geographical area of the Tehsil. Similarly, the area under wasteland in Shri Naina Devi is
1347 hectares i.e. 5.5% of the TGA of the Tehsil. In other Tehsils, the area under wasteland is
approximately 3-5% of total area of the tehsil.

Chapter 2 : District Water Profile
2.1 Area Wise, Crop-Wise Irrigation Status
Irrigation and drinking water supply facility are the basic needs of the rural agricultural economy
of Bilaspur. Despite heavy precipitation, the soils of district remain thirsty to a larger extent
because of its undulating topography, shallow depth and coarse texture. As reported by Revenue
Department of the district, the total irrigated area in the district is 5,299 hectare which covers
only around 10% of the gross cropped area i.e. 51,169 ha. The total cropped area during Rabi is
31935 ha, of which only 8.4% is irrigated and remaining is under rainfed cultivation. A total of
6235 hectare is utilized for cultivation of Horticultural and Plantation crops, out of this irrigated
area is to the extent of 20% of the total area covered under this category of crops.

The total irrigated area under agricultural crops is maximum in Ghumarwin block. During Kharif
season, a total of 1306 hectare of area is cultivated under irrigated conditions, which is only 5% of
the total cultivated land in the district during the season. In case of Rabi season also, the total
irrigated area is maximum in Ghumarwin block, which constitutes 4% of the total cultivated area
in the district during this season.
In Jhandutta block, only 823 hectare is under irrigation and most of the crops are cultivated under
rainfed conditions. In remaining blocks, the extent of irrigation facility is significantly low.
The major proportion of land in the district is used for cultivation of cereals. Considering all the
blocks, cereals occupy more than 96% of the gross cropped area under agriculture.
In case of horticulture and plantation crops the area under rainfed is almost four times more than
that of irrigated. In case of Bilaspur Sadar, Ghumarwin and Jhandutta block, the irrigated land
under Horticulture and Plantation is 20% of the total cropped are under Horticulture and
Plantation.

It is apparent from the table above that wheat is the major Rabi crop which is cultivated on an
area of around 25.6 thousand hectares. The productivity of wheat in the district is 18 qt. per
hectare and the total production is to the tune of 45.7 thousand MT. This is significantly high
when compared to average productivity of wheat in the state of Himachal Pradesh (1671 kg per
ha). As per Department of Agriculture of the district, it has been observed that while Ghumarwin
block has recorded maximum area of 12454 ha under cultivation of wheat. The production has
also been highest in Ghumarwin district with average yield of 18 quintal per hectare.
Similarly, in case of Maize, the area under cultivation was reported to be 21.5 thousand hectare,
with a total production of 41 thousand MT. The productivity of maize has been observed to be
1900kg/ha, which is much lower than the state average of 2233 kg/ha. As per Department of
Agriculture of the district, it has been observed that Bilaspur Sadar block has recorded maximum
area of 7732 ha under cultivation of maize against the district total of 21.5 thousand ha. The
production has been maximum in Bilaspur Sadar with average yield of 19 quintal per hectare. In
terms of area and production, Bilaspur Sadar is followed by Ghumarwin and Jhandutta blocks.
In case of Paddy, it is observed that that the total area under cultivation was 829 hectare. The
productivity of paddy in the district is 24 qt. per hectare and the total production is 1.9 thousand
MT. This is significantly higher than the state average 1546 kg per ha. As per the data recorded by
Department of Agriculture in the district, Ghumarwin block has maximum area (627 ha) under
paddy cultivation which is 75.6% of total area of paddy in the district.
Mustard and Sesamum are the major oil seed cultivated in the district. Mustard is cultivated on
approximately 924 hectare of land and contributes to the production of 3762 MT with an average
yield of 400 kg per hectare. As per Department, Sesamum is cultivated on a total of 71 ha area
with Jhandutta having maximum area of 61 ha, followed by Bilaspur Sadar block with 9 ha area.
The production has been observed to be proportionate to the area under cultivation and the
productivity of around 3.3 qt. per hectare has been constant in all the blocks of district.
Among the fruit crops, the major crop is Mango which is produced in the district in an area of
1242 hectares and the total production is 253 MT. The yield of Mango in the district is 683 kg per
hectare. As per Department, Jhandutta has recorded maximum area (1238 ha) under cultivation
of Mango as compared to remaining blocks. It is followed by Bilaspur Sadar and Ghumarwin
blocks with 3.49 ha and 0.38 ha respectively. Though Jhandutta bock records for maximum area
under cultivation of Mango, the yield of mango in this block is mere 2.02 qt. per hectare which is
far below the average yield of the district (6.83) and the highest yield achieved in Ghumarwin
block (10.5 qt per hectare).

2.3 Irrigation Based Classification
As discussed earlier in table 2.1, the district is primarily rainfed. Out of the gross cropped area of
51,169 ha, the extent of irrigated land is only 5299 ha, i.e. mere 10% of total cropped area.
Considering the block-wise data, percentage of gross irrigated land to gross cropped area is
maximum in Ghumarwin block, followed by Shri Naina Devi block, i.e 13% and 12% respectively.
A total of 50858 ha of area is under rainfed cultivation. While comparing the ratio of area under
rainfed cultivation to gross cropped area in each block, Jhandutta block comes at the top position
with 94% (gross cropped area of 13973 ha) under rainfed irrigation, followed by Bilaspur Sadar
block with 89% area under rainfed cultivation (gross cropped area of 8392 ha).
The area under partial irrigation has been reported to be zero across all the blocks the district.

Chapter 3 : District Water Availability
The water situation in the district in terms of surface and underground water is discussed below:
Sutlej: It is the only river that passes through the district and enters the district at village Kasol
located in north east of the district. It is deep and rapidly flowing river which runs at the rate of
about eight kilometres per hour. The river divides the district in almost two equal parts. It flow
ninety kilometres within the district leaving it at a village Neila in the south west and enters the
Punjab territory. The gigantic multipurpose dam is located over this river. The tremendous
increase in the volume of water during the rainy season causes floods.
Ali Stream: Ali is one of the notable streams of the district which rises in Arki tehsil of district
Solan. It enters district Bilaspur at village KothiHarrar and Manothi. It is perennial stream but as
its source lies in snowless mountains, the volume of water is very small during summers. After
flowing for about thirty five kilometres in the district, it joins Sutlej river in between villages
Kherian and Talwar. During its course, its water is utilised for irrigation purpose in low lying areas
and also for running water mills.
GhamberKhad: This Khad originates in Shimla hills and enters the district territory at Village
Neri of Ratanpur finally joining Sutlej at village Dagran and Nerli at a distance of about 13
kilometers. Its bed is very deep and hence a small area is only irrigated by its water.
Seer Khad: It is large stream and a largest tributary of Sutlej. It originates in district Mandi and
drains a large part of Ghumarwin and Jhandutta blocks. Two other khads, Suka and Saryali which
rise in Hamirpur district join this khad at village Balgar after draining the western portion of the
district. Few water mills are run by the water of this Khad. This is a rich source of perennial water
which could be utilised for augmenting irrigation facilities in the district.
Lakes, Tanks, Springs and Spring Heads:There are no natural lakes though the district has
one of the biggest lakes in the country, GobindSagar. The lake has huge importance for the
agricultural economy of the district in terms of availability of water for irrigation and potential for
fish production. The district has six large water tanks at JagatKhana, Swarghat, Naina Devi,
Jamthal, Kasol and Snghwana. In addition, there are about 40 small tanks. There are two springs,
namely, Luhund Spring and Bassi Spring.

3.1 Status of Water Availability
As reported by the IPH Bilaspur, only lift irrigation system prevails in the district. The facility of
irrigation through canal is not available in the district. Through LIS, a total area of 899.98 hectare
and 967.5 hectare is being irrigated during Kharif and Rabi season respectively.

There has been no assessment of availability of ground water in Bilaspur district by Central
Ground Water Board and hence the potential/ availability of ground water in the district cannot
be commented upon. Among the ground water sources, 444 Borewells and 135 electricity pumps
are available in the district but these are with individual for personal use (irrigation and other
purpose). Block-wise detail of these ground water sources is mentioned in para 3.4.
3.2 Status of Ground Water Availability
Ground water availability is abysmally low in the district and all the blocks have been classified
under critical zone (as per IPH Bilaspur). The exact quantum of consumable ground water
resources and stage of groundwater resources in the district has yet not been estimated. The soft
rock aquifers which exist underground, indicated feasibility of tube-well and dug-well and areas
with hard rock aquifers indicated places where bore well, dug well and spring development are
possible. As already mentioned, the regional geology is characterized by alluvium, Shivaliks and
metamorphous rocks.

Hydrogeologically, both the unconsolidated valley fill and alluvial formation are occurring in the
valley area and semi-consolidated sediments belonging to Shivalik Group form aquifer system in
the district. Porous alluvial formation forms the most prolific aquifer system in the valley area
where as the sedimentary semi-consolidated formation forms the aquifer of low yield prospect.
The ground water in the Siwalik group of rocks occur under unconfined to semi confined
conditions mainly in the arenaceous rocks viz., sandstone, siltstone, gravel & boulder beds etc.
The occurrence and movement of ground water is controlled by inter-granular pore spaces and
also the secondary fracture porosity. Siwalik sediments underlying hilly/undulating areas where
springs (mostly gravity/contact type) and bowries are the main ground water structures apart
from the hand pumps. The discharges of the springs, varies from seepages to 0.50 lps. Bowries
49 | P a g e
are dug well type structures constructed on the hill slopes for tapping the seepages. In the low
lying areas underlain by Siwalik rocks, dug wells and hand pumps are the main ground water
structures that range in depth from 3.00 to 25.00 m bgl, where in depth to water level ranges from
2.50 to 15.00 m bgl. In upland/plateau areas the water level is generally deep. In Beet area, water
level more than 60 m below land surface is observed.

Map 3.1: Hydrogeology of Bilaspur
In valley areas, the ground water occurs in porous unconsolidated / alluvial formations (valley
fills) comprising sand, silt, gravel, cobbles / pebbles etc., and forms prolific aquifers. Ground
water occurs both under phreatic and confined artesian conditions. Water logging areas are
observed in northern part of Jukhola valley. Ground water is being extensively developed in the
51 | P a g e
area by medium tube wells and dug wells, and also by hand pumps. Depth of dug wells ranges
from 4.00 to 15.00 m bgl whereas depth to water level ranges from near surface to 6 m bgl in pre
monsoon. Yield of shallow aquifer is moderate with well discharges up to 10 lps.
Ground water quality is assessed to be good and check dams, check dam cum ground water dam
and recharge shaft have been reported to be suitable recharge structure. Further, it has been found
that the depth of bore-well and dug-well feasible in the soft rock aquifers varies between 100-150
meters and 10-20 meters with discharge of 1200-2500 litres per minute in case of the former type
of wells and 300-500 litres per minute in respect of the latter. Likewise, in hard rock aquifers, the
depth of bore well, dug well has been estimated between 100 to 200 metres and 10 to 20 meters
respectively.

Chapter 4 : Water Requirement/Demand
The earlier chapters dealt with the general profile, water profile and water availability of Bilaspur
district. The present chapter deals with the current and projected (2020) demand of water for
various sectors. The demand for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from
different departments.
4.1 Domestic Water Demand
Data of Census 2011 and 2001 has been considered to arrive at the growth rate of population of
the district. As per Census 2011, the district has shown an annual growth rate of 1.205%. Table 4.1
below indicates the block-wise population of the district. Current and Projected population have
been estimated using the growth rate of 1.205% per annum.
It has been assumed that per capita daily water requirement of people residing in urban areas of
the district is 150 Liters and for population in rural areas, the daily per capita daily water
requirement is 70 Liters. Using the same norms domestic water supply demand has been worked
out and given in table 4.1 below.

56 | P a g e
It can be inferred from the table that considering the growth rate of population of the district, the
quantity of water required in 2020 for domestic consumption shall be approximately 16 MCM
which is 0.9 MCM more than the present water requirement.
4.2 Crop Water Requirement
As discussed in Chapter 2, cereals are cultivated on major part of the gross cropped area in the
district. Hence, the crop water requirement for major cereals viz. Maize, Paddy, Wheat as assumed
by State Agricultural University has been taken. The assumptions are as under:
For paddy: 0.6 m per ha,
for Maize: 0.06 m per ha,
for wheat: 0.15mper ha,
Vegetables: 0.18 m per ha and
for Horticulture crops: 0.06 m/ha
The small portion of area under other crops has been taken in category of vegetables and
same assumption has been made.

Water potential required has been derived from water required by crops cultivated under rainfed
conditions. Therefore, the existing water potential represents the water requirement of crops
cultivated in irrigated areas.
It can be concluded from the table that a total water potential of 50.60 MCM is to be created in
the district to fulfill the requirement of crops.
4.3 Livestock Water Requirement
The requirement of water by livestock in the district has been derived from two livestock census
(2003 & 20012), as discussed in second chapter. The table below represents the animal wise water
requirement as well as total water requirement of the district for livestock.

Based on the projected water requirement for livestock in 2020, the gap has been assessed. The
total potential which has to be created for livestock in 2020 is 0.072 MCM. This has been assessed
on the terms of the following:
Per capital daily water requirement for cows/buffaloes 65 litres, sheep/goats/pigs 6 litres
and Poultry 0.25 liters.
For projecting the water demand of livestock, growth rate as deduced from census has
been considered during calculations. In case of livestock with decreasing growth rate of
population, the present population has been considered. It is assumed that present water
requirement of livestock is met from existing water usage and hence existing potential is
equal to existing demand.
As observed above, the potential to be created for meeting the water demand for livestock is
slightly more than existing potential.
4.4 Industrial Water Requirement
The requirement of industries has been calculated from data given by District department of
Industries. Only two industrial areas exist in the district, namely, Industrial area Bilaspur and
Gwalthai Industrial area. The industrial department has their own water supply system and they
supply water as per actual requirement at present. As majority of industrial units in the district
are small, the consumption of water is quite nominal. The Department has informed that
presently the water supply to industries is much more than their actual consumption.

Chapter 5 : Strategic Action Plan for Irrigation
The vision of the scheme PMKSY is to ensure access to some means of protective irrigation to all
agricultural farms in the country, to increase water use efficiency by its ‘per drop more crop’
subcomponent, thus bringing much desired rural prosperity. The need of the hour is to have well
managed watershed resources which not only enhances the ecological resource base of a rural
economy but will also create sustainable livelihood opportunity.
5.1 Strategic Plan for irrigation in PMKSY.
At present, the schemes implemented by all the departments are broadly based and are required
to be specific and location/ problem based. A systematic integrated approach having full
participation of the users in the planning process is the need of the hour and extension facilitation
should be inter-disciplinary. On the basis of methodology described above, a strategic plan for
four years has been prepared starting from 2016-17 to 2019-20.
The schemes have been prepared by the proper consultation with the actual beneficiaries. The
ground water recharge structures were also prepared after the proper study of the availability of
the water from the local boulies, jhorhas and khattries, etc. The water from these sources was
otherwise going waste. Hence, the schemes seem to be justified.
The plan in brief is detailed below.
5.2 Year wise total Plan of the district
Estimated plan for whole district under the scheme for four years works out to be Rs.13002.9
lakhs. Irrigation and Public Health Department accounts for the maximum share of about Rs.
7876.3 lakhs (60. 57%) and is followed by RDD with a budget of Rs. 3790.83 lakhs (29.15%).
Agriculture and Horticulture Departments have a share of around 5% each. While working out
the plan, phasing of ongoing irrigation projects has been considered. However, from the proposal
of departments, eligible activities under RIDF will be covered as per the funds requirement of the
State. Project sanctioned under RIDF XXI for micro irrigation has been shown separately as it
will be implemented by I&PH Department and covered under the plan of the Department.
Capacity building, extension and training are important components for successful execution of
the plan. Therefore, a budget of Rs. 53.4 lakhs has been proposed in the plan from 2016-17 to
2019-20. Year-wise plan with respect to all departments for 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-
20 has been proposed to be Rs. 2417.1 lakhs, Rs. 3846 lakhs, Rs. 3855 lakhs and Rs. 2884.8 lakhs
respectively. Details of the plan are given in Annexure V.

5.3 Component-wise Plan
The plan is prepared component wise also. Table below shows component wise plan for 4 years
starting from 2016-17 to 2019-20. AIBP component has to be executed mainly by Irrigation and
Public Health Department. Per Drop More Crop components will be executed by Agriculture and
Horticulture departments mainly. All the stakeholders need to have coordination among
themselves to have the maximum irrigation efficiency and to avoid duplicity. It is observed that

There should not be any duplicity of project.
The Department should supplement each other so that the maximum irrigation efficiency
is achieved.
Agriculture and Horticulture Department should take micro irrigation projects in the
command of minor irrigation projects which are either completed or likely to be completed
in near future.
All the irrigation projects should have a component of water conveyance so that the each
drop of water is judiciously utilized.
Where ever feasible, Solar pumpsets should be installed.
All the structures planned should be geo tagged and marked on map, so that social
monitoring of the projects can be conducted. This will also avoid the duplicity.
Priority should be given to projects to minimize the gap in potential created and potential
utilized.
Wherever sites with low head LIS have already been exhausted, higher per hectare norms
should be allowed.
Execution of the scheme should be expeditiously completed.
There should be smooth fund flow for timely completion of the project and to avoid cost
escalation.
5.6 Expected Outcome
As stated above in earlier chapters gross sown area of the district is 51169 hectare of which 5299
hectare is irrigated. Thus there is a gap of 45870 hectare which can be converted from rainfed to
area under assured irrigation. As the water requirement of crops for the existing cropping pattern
works out to be 73.26 MCM and if the gross cropped area is to be brought under irrigated area,
50.60 MCM water is required. Though the water (surface and ground water) is available in the
district yet it will not be feasible to create irrigation potential to the extent of 100% as the
construction of irrigation project may not be economically viable even if it is technically feasible.
In hilly area due to tough terrain, high head, small and fragmented land holdings, per hectare cost
may be very high. Moreover it may not be feasible to develop all the sources within a short spell
of four years for which the plan is being prepared.
Keeping in view the above constraints a plan to develop irrigation potential of 16021.44 ha has
been proposed. It is proposed to create an irrigation potential by installing new lift irrigation ad
Flow irrigation schemes tapping surface water and installation of tube wells and bore wells where
80 | P a g e
ground water is available. Besides, water Harvesting structures have also been proposed which
will harvest rainwater as also spring water.
The average productivity of land in Rainfed area is 2394 kg/ha while the same is 3049 kg/ha.
Hence, with extended irrigation facility to 16021 hectare, the incremental yield would be 10500
MT approximately. Considering an income of Rs. 100000/- from one hectare, the additional
income which farmers would derive on account of increased productivity will be around Rs. 40
crores per season.
Potential of 4422.44 hectare which is around 28% of the total potential proposed to be created is
proposed I&PH department. Horticulture and Agriculture Departments have proposed to create
and irrigation potential of 840 hectare. Sprinkler and drip irrigation schemes have been proposed
by the department. On completion of these projects, it is expected that an additional irrigation
potential will be created due to saving of water through adoption of water saving methods of
irrigation. It is proposed to create 2177 Water Harvesting Structures which will augment the water
potential by around 122436 cum. This will result into extending irrigation facility to around 163.25
hectare.
Under Per Drop More Crop (Supplementary Water Management Activities), a total of 399
structures will be created which will create a pondage capacity of 189500 cubic meters. This will
result in to creating an irrigation potential of 330 hectares. Maximum potential will be created in
Ghumarwin Block (100 Ha) followed by Jhandutta (80 ha), Sadar (80 ha) and Swarghat Block
(70 Ha).
Last but not the least, as the scheme envisages, the plan includes convergence with MGNREGS
for creation of water sources to full potential in identified backward rainfed blocks including
renovation of traditional water bodies. This can be observed from the fact that DRDA has
proposed around Rs. 604.2 for the period of 4 years under the head of convergence with
MGNGRES. This involves creation of new water conservation, water harvesting structures,
irrigation canals and drains, land development, etc. It also involved renovation of water bodies
including desiltation, maintenance of canals and drains, etc.
Considering 20% of the TFO will be used for labour component, around 12 lakh mandays of job
will be created in the district.
