Final Report Volume XIII

(April 2014 - March 2015)

I. Final Narrative Report: A pilot was tested in the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project with the support of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, Hivos and NABARD since 2001 in Sindhanur taluk of Raichur district. Upon successful demonstration of the model, Janakalyan decided to test it in another context and thus proposed Deshpande Foundation. With the support of Deshpande Foundation (through Give2Asia), Janakalyan initiated an innovation integrated inspiring intervention in Gadag district of North Karnataka with the small & marginal farmers of tail end of Malaprabha Irrigation Project to address two extremes of water availability. The intervention started in April 2010 in 5 villages with 10 farmers which have now spread across 3 taluks of Gadag and Dharwad districts in more than 65 villages. This report is prepared at the end of 5th year to document the progress during the reporting period (April 2014 – March 2015) for the grant that was approved for 2014-15. It was made possible to reach out to so many farmers of these villages to sustain their lives & livelihoods by the grants provided by Deshpande Foundation (through G2A) during these periods. The grant and its outputs are furnished below- Grant Amount Grant Period Deliverables Achievement Status of Grant

A. Project Implementation: During the current financial year, a grant of $12,295 was approved to complete 50 water harvesting structures in tail end of Malaprabha Irrigation Project. We have successfully excavated 50 irrigation tanks against the target of 50. This volume of the report is Final Report of the grant that was provided during the current financial year.

1. Please describe the project activities Include as many details as possible (e.g. number and schedule of activities, who participated, specific topics discussed, etc.). The activities those were completed during the reporting period are not many as the focus was mainly on creation of more number of water harvesting structures. However, this report is prepared at the end of the grant cycle to document the achievement as well as to assess the benefits of those structures created in the previous years.

1.1. Project Concept Orientation to the new villages: In addition to the existing project villages, Janakalyan field team extended their extension services to other villages of Naragund & Ron taluks of Gadag district and Navalagund taluk of Dharwad district; i.e. Janakalyan has now reached its activities in 3rd taluk in 2nd district of

[


Sandbox. Many strategic decisions were taken during the year in order to achieve the target set for the year under reporting. Reaching far away villages in the tail end was one such strategy which helped a lot to achieve the set target.

1.2. Selection of eligible farmers for excavation of water harvesting structures: The selection of farmers for excavation of water harvesting structures are done in 2 stages - 1) Technical Feasibility by visiting the site proposed for excavation of the water harvesting structure and 2) Social Feasibility by visiting the house of the farmer to assess the interest of the family members and their willingness to participate in all activities under the project.

1.2.1 Technical Feasibility: Technical feasibility of the site proposed for excavation of the water harvesting structure is assessed by our technical experts by visiting the site along with the farmer. While assessing the site, we look at many angles of the site such as watershed area, soil condition, catchment area, etc.

1.2.2 Social Feasibility: Once, the technical feasibility is through, the team then visits the house of the farmer to assess the social feasibility in terms of interest of the family members to excavate a water harvesting structure, their interest in participating all other agriculture-allied activities proposed as part of this intervention, socio-economic status of the family and such other factors contributing success of the project.

1.3 Excavation of water harvesting structures: The commitment was to excavate about 50 water harvesting structures during the reporting period and the team succeeded to excavate 50 structures during April 2014 – March 2015; thus the team could achieve a total of 10+27+8+45+50=140 structures since commencement of the program in 2010. Based on the field experiences, there was a shift in our strategies from quarter to quarter and farmer to farmer. Some of these strategies in their order of execution are listed below- Strategy-1: Machine ours rest yours: This is the strategy based on which the excavator was purchased. It was assumed that we will take the excavator to the farm of the farmer and they will use it with diesel and other incidentals. The drawbacks of this strategy were many and some of these are listed below- • Only one structure can be excavated at a time; thus the progress becomes slow. • Shifting cost becomes very high when single farmer comes forward from a village to

excavate a water harvesting structure. • If the operator falls ill or remain absent from duty or the machine gives trouble, the

progress hinders. • Sometimes the farmers delays to arrange their share of contribution and thus the

excavator remains idle. • Sometimes the farmer fails to arrange tractors and again the machine remains idle. • Due to rain also, the excavator and tractors cannot move for few days and again the loss

of productive periods.

It was due to all these reasons, Janakalyan Team took a strategic decision in 2nd quarter and adopted the 2nd strategy as under- Strategy-2: Complete structure of specified dimension and hours, get part hire charge of the excavator: Identified few excavators (both wheel mover and chain mover) and farmers and given them the specifications of the structures to be excavated. Once the farmer reports completion of the structures of required dimensions, Janakalyan Team visits and measures the dimension. If found satisfactory, part cost of the hire charges is paid to either farmer or excavator owner vide cheque. Strategy-3: Identify interested farmers from new and remote villages: Most of the farmers who had shown interest reported that due to consecutive drought for 2 years they are not able to invest their share of contribution. All those farmers who are capable of investing are already excavated water harvesting structures in old villages and thus requested the team to reach out to more number of new villages where there would be at least few farmers available, who would be interested and also be capable of investing for his structures despite consecutive drought.

Strategy-4: Assess need of the farmers and create flexible sizes of water harvesting structures with hired JCBs: Another strategic decision was taken to hire few JCBs to reach out to the demands of small farmers from far away villages. About 5 JCB worked simultaneously and reached far more than the target. This was to meet the demand of the small farmers.

Farmers Share: The above table depicts that the team has been successful to raise the farmers’ contribution to the tune of Rs.941,415 (73%) in terms of excavation of 50 water harvesting structure during the reporting period while the project share remained Rs.350,125 (27%). The farmers’ contribution has reduced to only 27% from 100% that we started in 2010-11, which itself is a great achievement.

1.4 Demonstration of effective water usage methods: The IIFS (Intensified Integrated Farming System) model includes water budgeting to intensify the available resources like water, land, human and other resources of the farming families. It starts with water harvesting but concludes by empowering the farmers to practice diversified cropping with effective utilization of available resources. However, in this project, concentration is only on physical asset creation and rest is left to the farmers.

Since these are all first generation farmers, it was very difficult for them to succeed; moreover, the adverse climate conditions during the year made it more difficult. The farmers had to sow the seeds twice during the kharif but lost the crops after germination. Similarly, the attempt in rabi also failed for some of the farmers. However, few farmers have succeeded and got excellent yield.

1.4.2 Diversified Cropping Pattern: Some of the belief of Janakalyan team to implement this program are- 1. Give ‘water’ to farming communities, they will feed the nation 2. Built a ‘water harvesting structure’ for your child than a house 3. Like ‘house’ to a urban family, “water harvesting structure” is for a rural family/ farmer 4. Cost sharing brings ownership among the participating farmers and sustainability to the

initiative.

With these beliefs, Janakalyan initiated the interventions in Malaprabha Tail end and thus the focus was only on creation of water harvesting structure to provide water and nothing else with cost sharing approach. However, farmers required some sort of orientation and exposure to various productive units to make effective use of scarce resources like land & water in order to enhance productivity and in turn the livelihood security. The cropping pattern that is seen with these set of farmers during the year are as under- The farmers of 1st batch (selected in 2010-11) are shown the following crop diversification during the current crop year- Sl.

The cropped area was 78% of the total land holding during 2013-14 while that has reduced to 69% during 2014-15 due to bad cropping year. Accordingly, return has reduced to 166% against 226% in last year vis-à-vis the expenditure. The expenditure has remained almost same though the net profit has reduced to Rs.4.75 lakhs (66%) from Rs.9.22 lakhs (126%) which is almost half of the previous year.

This loss is basically due to the mono cropping i.e. cotton. The performance of cotton was good in previous year and thus almost all farmers went for only cotton cultivation.

[


Initially, the crop was very good but in mid year, the crop condition became bad and finally the yield reduced to half of the previous year. In addition, the price of the cotton has also gone down and therefore, the farmers have incurred hug loss. Fifth batch of farmers-

2. If the actual project activities differed from the activities described in the proposal, please explain why. The actual project activities have not differed from those described in the proposal. We have succeeded to complete 50 water harvesting structures against the target of 50 structures during the reporting period. It was based on the learning from the Deshpande Foundation direct intervention field in Navalagund and as per the approval of Deshpande Foundation that the size of the structures could be adjusted based on the need of the farmers. However, we have learnt that the small size tanks shall not be excavated in future as those are not really helping the farmers.

[


B. Project Outcomes & Impact: Major outcomes and impacts of the project interventions at the end of reporting period are narrated in the subsequent sections of the report.

1. Please describe your progress in achieving the purpose of the grant. What were the major achievements of this project? The purpose of the grant is to demonstrate a model which could resolve the irrigation needs of the tail end farmers. It is basically to address 2-extremeties of water availability that exists in all tail ends of any irrigation projects in India; the situation of farmers of Malaprabha tail end is no better than this. The intervention that Janakalyan has planned with the support of Give2Asia (Deshpande Foundation Fund) is to demonstrate the creating a water harvesting structure can resolve the irrigation needs of these farmers. The major achievements of the grant as on date could be summarized as in the table below – Sl. No. Commitment for 2013-14 Achievement during the reporting period

1 Excavation of 35 small (30X30X10 cft) water harvesting structures in Malaprabha tail end

Excavated 35 small (30x30x10 cft) water harvesting structures during the year against the target of 35.

2 Excavation of 15 big (40x40x10 cft) water harvesting structures in Malaprabha tail end

Excavated 15 big (70x70x11 cft) water harvesting structures during the year against the target of 15. Please note that the size of the tanks much bigger than the agreed size.

3 Cultivation of vegetables in 5 acres of land

Cultivated 32 farmers’ few succeeded and others learnt as they are first generation cultivators.

2. Please compare your actual project achievements to the specific goal(s) and outcomes described in your proposal. Please explain any differences or variance. The deliverables agreed for the project period are tabulated with the status on each of these deliverables against them (based on the indicators agreed in the grant agreement)- Sl. No. Deliverables / Outcomes Status at the end of the project period

1 Deliverable 1: Excavation of 35 big irrigation tanks to harvest runoff and excess water from the irrigation canals for life saving irrigation to the standing crops.

Total 35 water harvesting structures have been excavated during the year against the target of 35

2 Deliverable 2: Excavation of 15 small irrigation tanks to harvest runoff and excess water from the irrigation canals for life saving irrigation to the standing crops.

About 15 small tanks have been created during the year; all these 15 are much bigger than the agreed size. About 90 tanks were excavated in previous years. Total structures completed till date is 140.

3 Deliverable 3: Cultivation of vegetable in 5 acres of land.

More than 32 farmers have gone for vegetable cultivation; all these are first generation vegetable growers and have learnt which shall be used in future.

3. Why was this project important? The tail end farmers, having no access to assured irrigation during the peak season, can never cultivate the land that they are having for their livelihoods. Neither, they have any alternative source of their livelihoods and thus facing extreme difficulties to survive in the age of price-hike. In addition to decrease in per capita land availability, the productivity of the land has also gone down as they cannot grow the crops to their fullest extent, which has direct impact on the socio-economic as well as educational status of the communities. This intervention was extremely important for the farmers of this region for various reasons as stated below- 1) The rainfall is erratic in the region and thus cannot be depended solely on it for cultivation 2) The irrigation sources available with the farmers are not ASSURED for the crop period 3) Farmers having lift irrigation from neighboring canals cannot lift the water as the electricity is

supplied in the night hours 4) Available water from the canal is NOT adequate for irrigating the total land holding 5) The runoff generated during rainy season is wasted as the farmer does not have storage

structure and later suffers for shortage of water for irrigation.

To address all these problems, Janakalyan innovated an intervention to excavate a water harvesting structure to harvest excess water during rainy season and use the same for life saving irrigation during peak season; the same structure could also be used to lift the water during night (whenever electricity is supplied) and irrigated during convenient time. The canal water whenever runs freely, could also be stored and used during peak season for irrigation. Thus, a single intervention could address the whole lot of irrigation related issues of the farmers of Malaprabha Tail end thereby ensuring yield and thus securing the livelihoods of farming communities. This also adds to the food security of the nation by bringing more land under irrigation and increasing the productivity of the land.

C. Lessons Learned Institution like Janakalyan implements social development projects to learn from the process for wider benefits of the society at large. Major learning of this intervention during the reporting period are listed in the subsequent sections of the report. The learning process is described below for better understanding of the readers. Proposed plan for 2015-16: The plan of action for 2015-16, as per the approved proposal, was to- 1) Create 35 water harvesting structures of 60x60x10 cft each in the farms of tail end farmers. What Did Not Work: The project did not move as per the plan but had lot of issues which we learnt during the course of execution of the plan and changed the path based on the ground reality. Some of these issues which did not work are listed below- • Vegetable cultivation was not that successful due to bad climatic condition.

1. What have you learned through this project?

There are many learning of this intervention and the important ones are listed below- • Farm based intervention needs to be flexible as per the need of individual farmer on case

to case basis and not a rigid package to excavate water harvesting structures. • The existing farm ponds / small water harvesting structures of farmers need to be

deepened/ widened to make use of land effectively. • Farmers do not show interest during the cropping period to excavate the tank (due to

their engagements in farm based activities so also investment issue) • They do not want to lose the soil moisture once it rains (as they are not sure when the

next rain would come) and therefore go for sowing than excavation. • The farmers do not foresee any immediate return from the water harvesting structure v/s

crops; thus prioritize the crops than tank once it starts raining • One excavator can hardly excavate 25-30 water harvesting structures in a year considering

all external factors. • Cost of operation would still go down if we engage 2-3 excavators instead of 1 as the

human resource and other incidental expenditures remains same either for 1 or 3 excavators.

• Hardly, cost of maintenance (greasing & regular service) could be generated from the revenue generation works. Salary of operator remains an issue if fully engaged in subsidized project work.

• It’s an investment heavy intervention; the farmers have no option to use the locally available excavators (on credit) as they are solely dependent on our excavator hence they need to mobilize more than 70% of the total cost of excavation

• The period of excavation is from January to June (6 months only); further, we can add hardly another 30 days out of these 6 months

• Though there are more interested farmers in a village but fail to mobilize funds at a time • We cannot use the excavator more than 8-10 hours a day (as engaged tractors work for 8

hours a day)

[


These are the most important learning from our interventions with the innovative idea of owning the excavator instead of hiring it for excavation of water harvesting structures. It could be summarized by saying that it is an entrepreneurial initiative keeping the sustainability of the organization in mind; however, at least 3 excavators are to be owned at a time to break even from 3rd year onward.

2. What improvements would you make in the future?

Some of the improvements proposed for future interventions would be – a) Reaching out to far away villages where the irrigation water is inadequate using the hired

excavator, if need be. b) All excavated water harvesting structures would be captured with GPS enable camera for

online tracing. c) More than 1 Hitachi shall be operated by the team in order to make effective utilize of the

human resources. d) Hired hitachi shall also be used for excavation of more number of water harvesting

structures at a time to make use of productive time.

D. Future Plans Janakalyan has completed 5th year of intervention with the financial support of Give2Asia (Deshpande Foundation Fund) with a break for a year in 2012-13. The plan for next financial year is narrated in the subsequent section of the report.

1. What are your future plans for this project? Will the project continue after this Give2Asia grant? Future Plan: Janakalyan team has planned the following activities in the next year i.e. 2015-16 keeping all learning of all these years in mind.

• Target of completing about 35 water harvesting structures in 2015-16 of 60x60x10 cft

Sustainability: The intervention of Janakalyan with the support of Give2Asia (DF Fund) would become sustainable in the following manner even after withdrawal of Janakalyan and also the donors.

Sustainability of the project means, continuation of the activities even after withdrawal of Janakalyan from the project area. In this case the sustainability can be ensured if we can ensure the following 2 options- 1) Use of the water harvesting structure created by the project even after the withdrawal of

Janakalyan 2) Excavation of such structures after 3-5 years without the project support

In our experience, effective use of water harvesting structures would be ensured even after the withdrawal of Janakalyan due to the following factors- The water harvesting structures would be excavated in the land of farmers and thus it would

be his/her own assets; the farmers would try and get maximum output from this piece of land in terms of irrigation water, fish cultivation, fruit trees on the bunds of the water bank, etc.

The cost sharing concept in built in the project towards excavation of the water harvesting structure would also ensure the ownership on the structure and thus its use in long run.

Similarly, the excavation of such Water Bank even after the withdrawal of Janakalyan can be ensured with the following mechanisms- Poor farmer: The project would try to leverage resources from NREGA rather make proper use

of the NREGA funds in excavating the Water Bank, especially in the land of SC/ST of tail end of Tungabhadra Project to increase productivity.

Middle-class farmer: The Formal Financial Institutions (Banks) would also be sensitized to finance Water Bank in the middle class farmers’ land, for whom NREGA funds are not available.

Rich farmer: Upon successful demonstration of the concept, the rich farmers would make their own investment to create such structures in their own farms.

KVK, UAS and line departments like Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries and Animal Husbandry would provide technical support to the farmers from time to time towards SRI/IIFS concept.

Thus all the farmers can get water harvesting structures created in their farms to harvest runoff during the rainy season and use the same for life-saving irrigation during peak season thereby increasing the productivity of lands and thus improving the livelihoods of the rural peasant communities with your kind support.
