Chapter-I

1.0 Introduction Based on the lessons learnt from the implementation of various watershed development programmes in the State, particularly of Sujala - I and Sujala - II series, and to provide tools and techniques that can strengthen site-specific planning and implementation of targeted soil and water conservation, crop selection and livelihood interventions at farm level, Watershed Development Department with the support from the World Bank has formulated the Karnataka Watershed Development Project-II (KWDP-II), popularly known as Sujala-III project (Su: is Good, Jala: is water) in the state. The earlier World Bank assisted Sujala I was implemented in 6 Districts (Chitradurga, Kolara, Tumkur, Dharwad, Haveri and Chikkaballapura) during 2002 to 2009, the NABARD (RIDF) assisted Sujala II project was implemented in 6 Districts during 2008 to 2014 and the Sujala III is implemented in 11 project districts in the state from 2013 to 2018.

Sujala- III project will address the following three important areas:

• Integrating watershed development with all other land-based research and developmental programmes. This would help rainfed farmers access a range of information tools, adopt innovations and diversify crop, horticulture and livestock production and improve the value chain through Best Management Practices within their particular farming systems.

• Better understanding of hydrological dynamics for scientific management of water and quantification of upstream and downstream effects of watershed interventions to enable better targeted interventions to address surface and groundwater management issues and minimise negative externalities.

• To develop science-based land and water management practices for effective convergence of the PMKSY-IWMP approach with soil and water conservation programmes. This will enable Gram Panchayats (GP), communities and policy makers to adopt scientific strategies to tackle local problems and livelihood issues through a robust Decision Support System.

Such interventions have so far not been a part of planned watershed development, although some provisions for convergence into Watershed Net Plans exist. The Watershed Development Department in Karnataka is well-positioned to pilot such an approach by building on the success of the earlier Bank-supported Karnataka Watershed Development Project I (KWDP -I) (Sujala-I).

1.1 Lessons learnt in KWDP-I Sujala-I:

Combining watershed and livelihoods interventions to establish quality economic benefits.

Knowledge of the hydrological behaviour of micro and macro-watersheds is essential for effective management of the scarce water-resource.

  

2

The participatory approaches adopted in Sujala-I for conservation and management of natural resources helped to improved productivity and livelihoods.

Concurrent monitoring and evaluation enable improvements in the implementation of the project for success.

Empowerment of lead farmers as local champions for future leadership encourages farmers to adopt improved technologies.

In the backdrop of the range of lessons learnt, the proposed project design has been evolved into a model that complements the ongoing PMKSY-IWMP through technical support and facilitates convergence between PMKSY-IWMP and the activities and programmes of line departments.

The KWDP-II (SUJALA-III) - project’s success depends on development of an effective model for convergent-implementation-plan which would contribute to sustainable improvements in conserving the productivity of natural resources and livelihoods of small farmers in rainfed areas, while improving the effectiveness of public expenditure.

1.2 Project Districts

Karnataka Watershed Development Project II (SUJALA-III) was to be implemented over a period of six years and as a part of the centrally financed PMKSY-IWMP planned for the selected 7 project districts, namely Bidar, Gulbarga, Yadgir, Gadag, Koppal, Davangere and Chamarajanagar, and subsequently 4 CGIAR districts viz Tumkur, Bijapur, Raichur and Chikkamagalur were also added (Fig 1). The Agro Climatic characteristics of Project districts are furnished in Annexure – I * PMKSY-IWMP is an ongoing GOI programme that supports participatory watershed management, preparation of soil and water conservation “net plans”, production systems and micro-enterprises, livelihood development through Self-Help Groups, and monitoring and evaluation of implementation and impacts.

(Originally 931 and additional 1000 added during Nov 2016) Farmers Covered 6.22 lakh farmers (9.65 lakh Ha / 1.55 ha avg. holding) Drought Rainfed agriculture covering about 278,000 ha in the project

area, experiences at least two drought years in a five-year cycle due to prolonged dry spells during crop season and/or delayed onset of the monsoon

The KWDP-II aims to increase the productivity of natural resources through scientific management of 1931 MWS in an area of 9.65 la ha. 1.4 Project Approach

Three key pillars of the World Bank’s Countries Assistance Strategy (CAS) for India are:

• Helping to achieve rapid inclusive growth and poverty reduction in rainfed areas through improved agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods;

• Ensuring sustainable development through improved natural resource management (especially water), with resilience to climate change; and

• Increasing the effectiveness of service delivery, by covering integrated watershed management with other development programmes adopting science-based approaches.

The project targets convergence of scientific knowledge generated through Land Resources Inventory (LRI) and R&D innovations in crop production and watershed

management and strengthening of institutional capacities to enhance productivity of natural resources. The project involves the landscape-analysis approach for development of knowledge base and design of decision tools to promote watershed participatory planning by integrating programmes related to Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries and Groundwater activities along with PMKSY-IWMP for land development and NRM under Environment Social Management Framework (ESMF).

1.5 Implementation support Implementation support will focus on the generation of site specific land resources database supported by need based research and development, adoptive trials for demonstration and incorporation of these ideas in watershed operations. Capacity building activities will also be reviewed, especially those designed to strengthen agricultural extension service delivery. Other key areas of focus for implementation support will be integration of sectoral development programmes and broader programme convergence with soil and water conservation operations, resulting in improved PMKSY-IWMP planning through integrated participatory planning.

1.6 Key Focus Areas of the Project

KWDP-II (SUJALA-III) project will address following key areas:

• Improving the integration of watershed development, agricultural programmes, and related research. This will help small farmers to take up innovations and key schemes, have better access to a range of information tools and support mechanisms, improve value addition, and diversify crop, horticulture and livestock productivity within their particular farming systems.

• Better understanding of hydrological dynamics based on good science and integrated into watershed plans. This will help in better targeted interventions.

• Augmenting the capacity of the community as well as local institutions to effectively integrate watershed interventions, to address correct positioning of structures, and to ensure technical quality.

• Shifting the approach of Gram Panchayat (GP) members and communities towards science-based land management, and linking them into planning tools.

1.7 Project Development Objective (PDO): The proposed Project Development Objective (PDO) is to demonstrate more effective watershed management through greater integration of programmes related to rainfed agriculture, innovative and science-based approaches, and strengthened institutions and capacities.

Pre Project Studies under the KWDP-II (SUJALA-III) (Disclosed in WDD website www.watershed.kar.nic.in)

The WDD initiated Baseline, Social Assessment and Environmental Assessment studies. The study reports submitted by the different agencies have made several observations and recommendations to be considered by the project authorities. The said reports are reviewed by the PIA-WDD, and suitable recommendations and observations are considered for drafting implementation concept note and details are given below;

2.1 Comprehensive Base line Survey of the project districts:

Objectives and Scope of Base line Survey; • The broad objectives of the baseline study under SUJALA-III considered are to

ascertain the current status of the poor rural households in the 7 Project Districts (Bidar, Chamarajnagar, Davangere, Gadag, Gulbarga, Koppal & Yadgir) in terms of their resources, skills, livelihoods, assets and to identify the factors affecting their current status.

• To establish benchmarks against which project progress will be measured,

• To generate and develop an information base pertaining to socio-economic profile of targeted households and villages,

• To reflect on power dynamics structure pre-existent in the target areas, and risks which are likely to be faced by the project; also suggest mitigation strategies for the risks identified.

• To map the availability and concentration of developmental agencies and inputs in the project districts, while analysing their socio-economic profiles.

Introduction - Base line Survey; The area under dry land agriculture is prone to periodic droughts, severe soil erosion due to erratic rainfall, and depleting groundwater are hindering agricultural productivity in Karnataka. Sujala Watershed Development Project (Sujala I), implemented by the Watershed Development Department, established a model for the participatory integrated Watershed Development. Sujala was a community-driven watershed development project implemented over 2001-2009. The current project - Karnataka Watershed Development Project II (Sujala III) – aims to build on the success of Sujala I by involving all stakeholders. However, as a pre-requisite to this process this study is undertaken to identify the Stakeholders – individuals or agencies who can impact and/or who can get impacted by the project - and to map their expectations as well as issues.

Methodology followed - Base line Survey Methodology followed is analysis of primary data followed by baseline indicators matrix development, of the information collected from State, District, Taluk Offices, including survey by the investigators of the agency.

* computed based on average figures Key Observations of the Base line Survey;

The key observations arrived from the data analysis are;

• Most of the farmers do not have water harvesting structures in their land to conserve rain water, which is essential for improving farm productivity.

• Only a few households have permanent house structures, with a higher percentage of households residing in temporary/semi-permanent structures.

• In most of the sub-watershed areas, the households rely on firewood and other fuels for their cooking needs, thus impacting the ecology adversely.

• Since there are no toilet facilities either at the household or community level, there is a possibility for the spread of contagious diseases from open defecation.

• Most of the households do not give importance to nutritious food and, therefore, give least priority for expenditure on food.

  

12

• In the sub watershed areas, more farmers depend on traditional agricultural equipment & practices, and prefer organic pesticides to chemical pesticides, which is a positive and encouraging trend in the agricultural practices. However, one of the disturbing trends is that the farmers are more dependent on hybrid seeds than using indigenous ones, and, if this trend continues, there is every possibility of the latter becoming extinct.

• In most of the sub-watershed areas, the households depend more on micro finance institutions and money-lenders for borrowing. Since the rate of interest charged is high, it leads to distress sale of assets.

• Most of the household income is spent on non-productive purposes like marriages and festivals and they give less priority to child education, food consumption, etc.

• The benefits from the Government of India’s flagship poverty alleviation programme, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), which seeks to create income-generating assets at the local level through community involvement, rarely manage to reach the target groups.

• Most of the marginalized households interviewed were not often aware of the existence of the various government-initiated poverty alleviation programmes / schemes and the SC/ST households have not benefitted much from such initiatives.

• The cattle population appears to be on a declining trend, this can mostly be attributed to severe drought conditions which affect the project districts almost every year. Due to this, milk production is less compared to the state average.

• Due to lack of proper rainwater management structures, the agricultural output is way below the state average, if properly augmented, there can be multiple crops grown in the same land as also for more than one season to increase production.

2.2 Social Assessment Study:

Objectives;

Main objectives considered for the Social Assessment study are:

• To carry out a socio-economic, cultural and political/institutional analysis to identify potential social impacts of the proposed development of the project;

• To identify principal stakeholders, carry out consultations that are well documented and develop institutional framework for transparent and participatory implementation;

• Screen the proposed investment and assess whether there will be any adverse social impacts and to determine the applicability of policies relating to involuntary resettlement and Indigenous Peoples policies, and,

• To ensure that results of the SA provide inputs for participatory implementation.

  

13

Social assessment (SA) in the seven project districts ensures that development initiatives contribute to inclusive development and poverty reduction. It is an approach for incorporating social analyses and participatory processes into project design and implementation. SA helps to make the project responsive to social development concerns including seeking to enhance benefits for the poor and vulnerable people while minimizing or mitigating risks and adverse impacts.

The following tasks were undertaken during Social Assessment

Beneficiary Assessment; Stakeholder Analysis; Impact Assessments; Safeguards Analysis; Risks Analysis; Designing Participatory Framework; Human and Institutional Development; Monitoring and Evaluation; Scope for Financial Participation by Beneficiaries; Assessing the Legislative and Regulatory Considerations.

The findings of Social Assessment Study are as given below;

• Boundary issues are likely to crop up while implementing private land development activities such as bunding and plantations.

• Convergence evokes mixed reaction from stakeholders. Therefore a detailed convergence policy is needed (under preparation).

• The issue of what is the right or desirable mix of common land treatment and private land treatment in a given location needs to be addressed.

• Due to high fluoride content in groundwater, people in several watershed locations of Yadgir, Koppal, Gadag and Gulbarga districts suffer from fluorosis. They expect that watershed development activities would mitigate the incidence.

Findings of the Social Assessment study;

The findings of the Social Assessment study reveal that the overall impacts would be positive but issues related to equity need closer attention. As per the report, the Social Assessment enquiry has identified the following points as key social development issues/ principles which should underpin the project’s strategy and implementation, accordingly following steps are considered for implementation under project implementation plan (PIP);

• Participation and inclusion is the central point in the design of the project.

• The PMKSY-IWMP of WDD aims to assist for mobilizing individuals and institutions at different levels: from community to state level;

• Project would be implemented on Integration and Convergence policy design to protect the interest of all the project stakeholders while developing the Watershed Project area on a science based plat form.

• Sector related institutions would be either strengthened or established, at different levels with explicit capacity, composition and a definite mandate, with strong emphasis on accountability and service delivery performance;

  

14

• An Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaign would be implemented by: publicizing the project rules for open engagement of partners; establishing a communication platform; and an easily accessible digital library.

Therefore, no Social Safeguard Policies are triggered for the focused action. Further,

Given the shift in project design from an investment to technical assistance focus, the investments no longer have any direct bearing on the Bank's Social Safeguard Policies - Resettlement and Lands.

No lands are to be acquired for any of the proposed activities, nor any impacts on the tribals expected.

2.3 Environmental Assessment

Environmental Assessment and Management Frame work (EMF): Environmental Management Frame Work (EMF) mainly comprises the following tasks;

• Understanding the project area with respect to the Environmental Situations existing;

• Analysis of the existing Environmental Situations and Identifying the sensitive areas which needs attention under the prevailing legal frame work;

• Understanding expected Positive and Negative Impacts due to intervention of several activities under different components;

• Assigning responsibilities to different stakeholders/Project players for Enhancing Positive impacts and Mitigation of Negative impacts for assuring safety through the safeguard measures to the society and the delicate environment.

• Developing and Implementation of Capacity Building Activities to the project stakeholders/Project players at different levels for Environmental Management.

Objectives;

The specific objectives of the EMF are;

a) To provide a systematic approach for identifying various possible environmental impacts at different stages of the project cycle,

b) To identify appropriate mitigation measures against the identified environmental impacts and

c) To devise an institutional arrangement for mainstreaming environmental management into the project implementation processes.

Introduction Over view of the KWDP-II (Sujala-III) reveals that the project design does not result in any adverse environmental impacts and leads to enhancement of positive environmental impacts. KWDP-I of GOK has prepared a detailed EMF and implemented the model.

  

15

However, the study agency has provided the Environmental Assessment Report of the proposed project districts and the EMF has been prepared based on a detailed; a) Environmental Assessment, b) Stakeholder Consultations and c) Baseline Assessment.

Review: Review of available literature, visiting the project area and consulting the respective DWDO and other line departments to establish the baseline conditions in terms of physical and biological environment conditions in the proposed project area is done. Data on key parameters such as hydrological conditions of the watershed, status of natural resource management, land use pattern within the watershed, etc. are collected. Based on the information collected the positive and negative environmental impacts are identified.

Project stakeholders Consultation: The project stakeholder’s consultations were held to delineate the appropriate boundaries of the environmental assessment and to screen potential adverse environmental issues. Feedback on the expected environmental issues related to the project impacts and suggested mitigation measures was also received.

Study data Analysis

The important environmental issues identified: Through stakeholder consultations in the project districts following summarized environmental issues are identified as listed below.

Parameter Area Situation Land Related

Forest cover Depleting Natural Resource Base

Poor vegetation in forests Degradation of forests due to anthropogenic activities Land Degradation

Note: Other World Bank Policies important to Environmental Concerns is the BP 17.50. This policy deals with Disclosure of Operational Information. The Bank’s Policy on Disclosure of Information, has been incorporated in the project implementation plan. As part of disclosure plan, the Project would disclose the final environmental assessment report on its website and at the district headquarters, where the project is to be implemented. An executive summary of the environmental assessment would be prepared and translated in the local language and disclosed.

Mitigation measures: Identified adverse environmental impacts were screened for designing mitigation measures and included in the Environmental Management and Monitoring Plan (EMMP). Project will be implemented in accordance with the EMF in a manner satisfactory to the (IDA) Association; including, the mitigation measures set forth therein, in a manner satisfactory to the Association; and by Ensuring that the environmental performance indicators contained in the EMF are updated and monitored regularly, in agreement with the Association. Environment Management Framework highlighting project activities, impacts, and mitigation measures with responsibilities, details would be communicated with a circular for implementation by the PIA-WDD.

Management Arrangements: In view of the above situation, in order to implement the KWDP-II (SUJALA-III) efficiently and to facilitate the end users to be more responsible and responsive, aiming at achieving the watershed development objectives in long run, the project would contract an Environmental Management and Policy Research consultant who will assist the PIA - WDD to oversee the implementation of the EMF

  

19

Risk and Mitigation: The project is not financing any on the ground investments, such as, water and soil conservation works, constructing check dams, erosion prevention structures etc. This minimizes the risks, if any, emanating from Bank’s investments. Project is supporting institutional capacities, use of new and innovative technology for watershed planning and training and capacity building of stakeholders on science and research based findings. The Project’s objective is to improve integration of programs, strengthened institutions related to rainfed agriculture, and a stronger science-based approach supported by new innovations, knowledge and technologies that result in increased productivity of natural resources and incomes for communities in selected watersheds.

KWDP-II (SUJALA-III)’s Views:

Consequent to the project implementation no potential large scale, significant and/or irreversible impacts are anticipated. However, the key environmental challenges that the project addresses are:

Optimal utilization of hydrological resources through improved planning and collection of hydrological data; and

Arrest decline of groundwater and reduce soil erosion.

In order to face the possible challenges effectively, at the district level the DWDO will be overall in charge for the implementation of EMF. DWDO would coordinate with the Environmental Consultant and take appropriate actions to implement provisions of the EMF. At the Taluk level the Agricultural Officer/ADA would be in charge of the implementation of the EMF. These, project players would be suitably capacitated with Workshops/Trainings.

Under Environmental Management Frame work (EMF), the project plan has an approach with measures to enhance the potential positive environmental impacts that the project investments would result in. As part of the project design, new decision-support tools would be developed and piloted to improve selection of priority watershed sites that combine biophysical, hydrological, socio-economic, and environmental criteria. Deployment of such tools is likely to facilitate sustainable utilisation of natural resources, accurate investment plans to improve the natural resource base.

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) prepared as a part of Watershed Assessment and consequent planning process would be screened and scanned by the WDT before it is submitted for approval of the District Level Committee (DLC).

  

20

Training and Capacity Building under EMF and Social Framework;

The objectives of the capacity building initiatives are:

To build and strengthen the capability of Watershed development institutions and other partners (NGOs) to integrate sound environmental management into watershed implementation.

To orient the watershed development staff, participating institutions at watershed level and communities to the requirements of the project’s environmental management framework.

Past experience of Sujala-I and with the implementing experience of ongoing IWMP-Batch-1 & 2, the district and taluk level implementing agencies have clearly gained awareness, skills and experience regarding the environmental aspects of watershed planning and implementation. However, in the new project area project stakeholders have to be trained in a systematic way to build their capacity to safe guard the Environment. Appropriate Modules will be developed under safeguards as detailed below. After assessing the Environmental Management Frame work report and the baseline as well as The Social Assessment study reports the WDD proposes the following comprehensive capacity building arrangements to address the various Social and Environmental issues.

Details of Training Programs to be considered during the project period;

Providing for participation by PRIs through SWS and MWS level institutional platforms

Capacity building of PRIs and securing participation in planning and implementation Establishment of Right of Grievance (RoG) to address issues arising at the MWS & disputes (if any) across different levels. Planning & Designing interventions

New approaches and tools for integrated planning,

Environmental Awareness Management and Monitoring Developing community monitoring training modules for WDT, CBOs and GPs

Developing training modules in Hydrological assessment

Developing Capacity Building Manuals on technology transfer for Extension Agents

Capacity building on usage and utility of LRI for planning. Workshops, trainings and seminars on usage and utility of DL for planning and interpretation watershed institutions including GP and RSK's and line department staff (in situ/SATCOM) Training on Geo-informatics (GIS) (Landscape Technology -Latest development ) Capacity Building for Project staff on Use of Land resources portal Additional training and Technical support for hydrology and stakeholder facilitation.

 

  

21

Participants: Key officials of the project including TWDT, DWDT, as well as State Level Environmental Experts and District Resource Persons. DWDO of the district will be responsible for selection of suitable candidates for the training, and the expense will be borne by the overall project capacity building budget.

Schedule: The training will include an initial orientation workshop, a main and annual refresher training workshops on environmental assessment. The main and refresher training programs will be for duration of 2-3 days each, whereas the initial orientation workshop will be of one day duration. 10 Training programs will be conducted during the first year and 5 refresher programs per year will be conducted for the next 4 years. This will total to 30 programs.

Usage: This EMF is prepared for implementation by the WDD in the project area in order to overcome the anticipated adverse impacts of all the direct and indirectly linked infrastructure related activities and prepare enhancement and mitigation measures for implementation. Therefore, the PIA would make good use of this EMF and the good practice guidance note to identify key Environmental issues, as well as plan and implement mitigation and enhancement measures, as and where applicable.

New Legal Requirements & Updation : As and when required, PIA-WDD would update the EMF on any new legal requirements – modification of existing legislation or introduction of new legislation – as and when they are announced or made applicable. PIA-WDD would also ensure that the design, implementation and operation of all its sub-projects are in line with the new legal requirements.

In particular, PIA-WDD would update the chapter on legal requirements as and when required.

Comprehensive EMF Review: PIA-WDD would undertake thorough / comprehensive review of the EMF during the project period. Based on the review, the EMF would be updated if necessary. WDD would undertake this review and revision prior to Sujala-III’s mid-term review by the World Bank.

Supervision and Monitoring Plan: The following provisions are considered and the arrangements would be made for the effective implementation of the EMF with Supervision and Monitoring Plan:

Environmental supervision: A sample of 10% of the completed schemes will be visited at six monthly intervals by the WDT to check if all safeguard requirements are met and to identify any issues that need to be addressed. The selected sample will have representation of both Phase- I and Phase-II project area. However, internal environmental monitoring will be done as part of the regular monitoring by the WDD.

Monitoring of Relevant Environmental Parameters

The M&E process to be initiated in by the project will also monitor and prepare a report of the environmental situation in the project districts including data and analysis of relevant parameters such as rainfall, depth to water levels, status of groundwater basins, soil erosion, etc., as well as a listing of relevant new legislation and regulations that have

  

22

a bearing on the environmental performance of the project. The EMF will be suitably revised annually on the basis of situation and data availability.

Environmental Audit Twice during the project period; mid-term and end-term; the WDD will appoint an external agency to undertake an independent audit of the environmental performance of the project. 5% of the completed micro watersheds will be covered in the audit.

Chapter-IV

Project Components and implementation

4.0 Introduction In order to achieve the project development objective described in para 1.7 supra, the project is designed to strengthen the science base of watershed management in IWMP by enhancing the understanding of hydrological dynamics and climatic variability, and developing tools for measuring them within the planning process. The project would include small farmers in existing agriculture schemes and value chains. The key agency responsible for the project is WDD which is the main beneficiary with respect to institutional strengthening and enhanced capabilities in order to serve the requirements of farmers and land less communities living in the watersheds. The project will be implemented through the following five components:

Component 1: Support for Improved Programme Integration in Rainfed Areas Component 2: Research, Development and Innovation Component 3: Institutional Strengthening Component 4: Strengthening Horticulture in Rainfed Areas Component 5: Project Management and Coordination

4.1 Component 1: Support for Improved Programme Integration in Rainfed Areas

This will test and demonstrate new planning by incorporating science-based approaches especially hydrological modelling and decision tools and M&E approaches through PMKSY-IWMP by convergence with other development programmes. Objective: Intervention of this component results in developing a scientific base for participatory micro watershed master planning with suitable tools, technical and knowledge support and Capacity Building Activities. Implementation will be through the following four activities;

i. Development of a digital spatial-data library through LRI for integrated land use planning to combine other development schemes for watershed management.

ii. Development and piloting of integrated sub-watershed assessment and planning, with particular focus on broader hydrological dynamics of the 1931 watersheds. The activities would include mapping, ground water planning and modelling, and dissemination of recommendations for micro-watershed planning;

iii. Developing and piloting new decision-support systems for integrated watershed management through science-based land use planning.

iv. Strengthening integrated micro-watershed master planning under PMKSY-IWMP by providing incremental support to the WDD and communities for more effective linkages with agricultural, horticultural and livestock development programmes.

  

31

Expected Outcomes: • Scientific recommendations for watershed management are included in micro-

watershed plan. Key results include; ground-water assessment, crop selection, land-use, and agriculture potential.

• Digital library to be in place as per design and fully operational. • Strengthening community-based monitoring and documentation by providing

technical support for local M&E systems including simple water monitoring equipment.

4.1.1 Development of Digital Spatial-Data Library:

Purpose: Providing single window access for Geospatial and other Agriculture-related information for the farming community, researchers, planners and all other users from agriculture and allied sectors facilitating integrated landscape approach for planning effective watershed management.

Objectives: • Generation of site-specific land-resource digital database at the watershed level. • Design of a suitable architecture for the integrated digital data storage • Develop appropriate protocols for data sharing • Provide inputs for establishment of Land Resources Portal

Location: State Data Centre, NBSS&LUP Bengaluru, UAS Bangalore, UAS Dharwad, UAS Raichur, UHS Bagalkot and UAHS Shimoga.

Strategy: • Land Resource inventory to assess bio-physical status of natural resources through

mapping and digitization on GIS platform • Pooling of relevant information from different sources and organisations;

compilation, synthesis and analysis of primary and secondary data on climate, surface water and groundwater, land use, crops and cropping pattern, socio-economic parameters etc. of the watershed area.

• Interpretation of the data and generation of reports and maps on GIS platform • Operationalization of Digital Spatial-data Library

Implementation

This involves two stages i) Land resource Inventory and ii) Development and Establishment of Digital Library.

4.1.2 Land Resource Inventory and GIS Database Purpose: Karnataka state, with an area of 19.17 m. ha, is endowed with varied climate, fauna and flora, soils, forests, minerals and rivers. The natural resources, which have enriched the social fabric of the state are under severe stress due to population pressures and competing demands on land resources. This has resulted in large scale land degradation (about 7 m. ha), which is continuing at an alarming rate, requires urgent and effective remedial interventions. This calls for assessment of potentials and constraints. Often the problems are site-specific necessitating farm-level interventions to bring in the desired change or impact. The detailed site-specific information at watershed level, particularly on soil and site characteristics is not available at present in the state. Many studies carried out in various parts of the country and in Karnataka (Tirumale sub-watershed near Magadi under IWMP, Durgada Naganehalli village in Tumkur district and Chikkarasinakere in Mandya district), have proved the importance of site-specific database for watershed planning and programme implementation in the state. (See Annexure II) Location: The spatial and temporal Land Resource Inventory is carried in 1931 microwatershed in 11 project districts. Objectives: LRI is carried out in the project districts to meet the deficits in the present data base as given below

• At present land resources are characterized at macro level (1:250,000 and 1:50,000 scales) with respect to certain parameters to broadly indicate the type/category to differentiate through visual observations with limited ground checks.

• Land resources inventory for different uses at cadastral level has not been generated so far in the state.

• Hydrological information and vegetation details at larger scale are not available as Spatial information.

• Socio-economic features are not available to know the needs and demands as well as strengths and weaknesses to promote equity, inclusiveness and improving economic status.

Strategy: For watershed development, site-specific spatial information on various land resources is required and the same can be obtained by carrying out detailed characterisation and mapping of all the existing land resources like soils, climate, rock types, groundwater, vegetation, crops, land-use pattern, socio-economic conditions, infrastructure and marketing facilities.

  

33

Implementation: The Land Resource Inventory (LRI) is carried out by using cadastral map in conjunction with Cartosat/Quick Bird imagery as base. The land parcels or survey numbers having similar soil-site characteristics are grouped as one management unit and this helps in planning and implementation of various watershed development programmes.

The NBSS&LUP, Regional Centre, Bangalore will lead the consortium of Institutions identified in the state, for organizing the cadastral level Land Resource Inventory and Mapping. It will provide technical facilitation whereas the WDD will facilitate the consortium of institutions by financing necessary manpower, equipment and goods required to undertake LRI. It will have suitable linkages with IISc, KSNDMC and the SAUs. The required Maps and Imageries will be made available to the NBSS&LUP and Universities. Three Agricultural Universities, one Horticultural University and one Agri Horti University in different zones/Districts of the project (Fig 3) will act as Nodal Centres for LRI field inventory. Each university will have sufficient number of trained field parties to carry out field work for land resource assessment. Standard protocols will be followed in carrying out the inventory. The IISc will provide details of Hydrological parameters to be surveyed during LRI. Primary data will be gathered through field surveys. Secondary data will be collated from Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Minor Irrigation and Economics and Statistics. KSRSAC is supplying the following requirements of the LRI partners.

• Digitised, geo-referenced cadastral base maps and remote sensing datasets, maps and outputs pertaining to the micro-watershed area.

• Cartosat 1 or 2 imagery (Pan+LISS IV, ortho/Quick Bird) for the Sujala watershed area.

• Required remote sensing Imageries for the entire state (Present and legacy data) at different scales, (soft and hard copy).

• Temporal data of suitable resolution (1:12,500) for three seasons for the watershed area

• DEM at the micro-watershed and sub-watershed levels for the operational area

4.1.3 Restructuring

The MTR mission during Nov 2016 reviewed the current project structure and costs, and based on projected savings and disbursements. The key changes proposed are; 1. To Drop the Peri urban watershed management activity 2. To Drop the poly-house investments 3. To Scale up the LRI work from 698 to 1,931 sites 4. To Increase support for watershed demonstrations and saturation coverage from

the present four sites to nine sites

4.1.4 Expansion of LRI

The project envisaged Land Resource Inventory in 931 MCs belonging to batch 4, 5 and 6 of IWMP as listed in Table 1. It was intended to utilise the data so generated in preparation of DPR for implementation in IWMP. However, by the time the field work for LRI could begin, batch 4 of IWMP was due for implementation under IWMP. Hence, the batch 4 was not included for LRI, only batch 5 and 6 MCs were allotted for carrying out the LRI to the partners. Thus 698 MCs were distributed for LRI with intention to include batch 7 on subsequent dates after completing the Batch 5 and 6 as shown in Table 2. In the mean time, there was a policy change in Government of India, the DoLR has adopted PMKSY for treatment of watersheds covering the entire geographical area of taluk and District rather than the prevailing treatment of MCs selected on priority basis. In order to suit to the changing situation, it was proposed to World Bank for expanding the LRI to cover the entire Taluk and as concurred by the Bank wide Aide memoire of May 2016 “LRI expansion: With immediate effect, the LRI work will be expanded to ensure full coverage of all micro-watersheds within each Taluk where a project micro-watershed is already located, across all project districts. This will support the wider availability of high quality, bio-physical and socio-economic data for integrated planning, especially with the emerging PMSKY scheme and other government programs. Project funding will be reviewed ahead of the next mission to determine if even wider LRI expansion can take place to the end of the project. In moving forward with LRI expansion, WDD should review individual partner performance and consider allocating more of the expanded work to those institutions that are delivering high quality and timely LRI work and who can quickly scale up their capacity. Institutions not performing well should not be given additional work until completing their initial assignments.” and approved by Special PEC dated 05.07.2016 directions were issued to partners for carrying out the LRI covering the 12 taluks allotted against each partner.

Given the potential of this work to support a range of other programs in Karnataka under proposed restructuring, the LRI program should scale up to cover 1931 micro-watersheds during the project period. In the May 2016 t mission, WDD and the Bank agreed on a provisional scaled-up target of 3,187 micro-watersheds to be included in the expanded LRI program under the project, but subject to final concurrence based on a budget

During the MTR, Nov 2016 the budget review indicated that the target needed to be modified to 1,931 micro-watersheds including 698-12 MCs already covered. As part of this modest scaling up, WDD and partners will pilot LRI at a larger scale by concentrating the expansion at the Taluk level in 11 Districts. This demonstration at a larger scale will also be useful to guide similar work in the Bank-supported Neeranchal National Watershed Project in nine states. Allotment of balance 1233 MCs in different project districts is given below.

4.1.8 Relevance and utility of the LRI database

The detailed and comprehensive database generated through the Land Resource Inventory, covering all the land holdings in a watershed area will help in

• Identifying site-and area-specific constraints affecting crop production • Potentiality of the area for agriculture, horticulture, forestry and other uses • Suitability for various crops and other uses • Identifying promising land-use options best suited to the location • Allocating areas for different crops and land uses • Identifying the extent of wastelands, common lands etc. and measures for their

regeneration

  

45

• Identifying the type and location of water conservation structures in the watershed

• Strategic planning – identifying areas suitable for the introduction of new or exotic crops is possible with the help of the database.

• Assessment of Fertilizer requirement through soil fertility maps

4.1.9 Establishment and Maintenance of Digital Library

Purpose :

The Digital Library houses all the primary and secondary datasets and various resource and thematic maps of the surveyed watersheds. The line departments and other users can source from it their data needs for • Delineating homogeneous areas based on soil-site characteristics into

management units. • Interpretation of climatic and agronomic data for crop planning in relation to soil

units. • Identification of problem and potential areas and strategies for their management. • Identification of capability of the area for agriculture, horticulture, forestry and

other uses based on LULC. • Preparation of ideal conservation plan in a given landscape • Delineate upper reach, middle reach and lower reach of each micro-watershed at

Land parcel level. • To identify areas for establishing groundwater and vegetation sanctuaries for

optimizing resource use. • To develop plans to overcome market fluctuations and identify value added

products through alternative livelihoods. The result of land resource inventory and secondary data collected will form the basis for developing the digital library. Consultants will be hired to develop, test and synchronize the Digital library, maintain and capacity building of users.

Objectives : • Support improved sub-watershed assessment, integrated micro-watershed master

planning, monitoring and evaluation, and relevant research and development. • Design of a suitable architecture for the integrated digital data base through

technical support

Location : NBSS&LUP with the help of Project partners will help in the development of DL. UAS Bangalore, UAS Dharwad, UAS Raichur, UHS Bagalkot, NBSS&LUP and UAHS Shimoga and other partners will be providing database/maps/imagery for thematic maps pertaining to their survey and jurisdiction in the State for the DL.

  

46

Strategy :

The LRI Partners are state Agricultural universities having jurisdiction control over different districts. The Geo spatial land resource data collected by them will be housed in the respective institutions in the Digital Library which in turn will be transferred to central Digital Library located at State Data Centre. This information will be accessed through different decision support modules by the Portal which is again located in the State Data Centre. Implementation : It is the collection, development and management of physical and bio-physical information of an area, region or state in the electronic form with index creation and a provision for access, retrieval and facilitation of reference work and preservation.

The information needed for establishing a dynamic digital library to meet the requirements of various line departments, stakeholders, farmers and other users at watershed level is so varied and diverse that it cannot be provided by any one single organization or agency in the state. Apart from the inputs generated from the Land Resource Inventory, information needs of the users have to be sourced from many other agencies in the state. The schematic figure indicated below shows the flow of datasets from different sources to the Digital Library.

4.1.10 Establishment of Land Resources Portal (LR Portal):

Purpose : The L R Portal for watershed is established to facilitate and coordinate the exchange and sharing of the spatial and non-spatial data between various stakeholders of different groups of watershed user. Staff should be trained for long-term maintenance and management of the LR Portal.

Objectives: The turnkey solution provider must establish LR Portal which would provide following services; • Portal services: The portal services should be made available to address the needs

of the viewer, discovery, management, authentication and access control and exposed services.

• Portrayal services: The portrayal services should include map services, styling services, coverage services and the map context services.

• Data services: The data services should include features, coverage, and symbology management.

• Catalogue services: The catalogue services should include data discovery, service discovery, catalogue update and query language.

Location : The SDC will host the L R Portal in collaboration with project partners. Two L R Portal nodes will be provided at WDD head quarters and NBSS&LUP.

 Strategy : A qualified and experienced Total Solution Provider (TSP) shall be hired for setting up the LR Portal, Clearing house and to design, develop and implement watershed DSS  Implementation : The SDC will host the LR Portal in collaboration with all LRI partners. The two LR Portal nodes will be provided. Disaster Recovery Center would be established as per the recommendation of Technical Committee. Expected Outcome : All the modules in the Software should be secured with user authentication. The users should have access to the functionalities like, data viewing, querying and updating depending on the privilege assigned.

4.1.11 Developing and piloting new Decision-Support System Models (DSS)

Purpose: For integrated watershed management and site selection.

Objectives: • Development and piloting of new decision-support systems to assist WDD in

leading integrated watershed programmes. • Integrated decision-support models to help plan and prioritise soil and water

conservation measures including land-use practices at sub-watershed level that can then be downscaled to guide micro-watershed level planning.

Modern agriculture is highly knowledge intensive and requires the support of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for planning and decision making. Information needs in the agriculture and allied sectors are quite different from those in other sectors. While the farmer has some control over a few of the resources e.g., land and water, labour, seeds, etc. there are several other variables that are beyond his control – the weather parameters, precipitation and market prices, etc. By establishing connectivity between variables that influence production levels, it is possible to match with suitable options wherever possible, which can improve the efficiency of agriculture sector. The Internet, satellite communication, remote sensing, and GIS are providing new

opportunities to connect people with new development strategies which can bring in a new revolution in agriculture. The DSS produces simple output from the complex system and large data set in the form of decisions and plans. The plans may be of different types depending upon the purpose. Mathematical models such as hydrologic models and groundwater models crop growth models coupled with the field data are the basis for DSS. The models have the capability to convert the complex system into simpler ones, making it easy for the reliable prediction of impacts of changes to the existing system. The innovative and science-based approaches and convergence between PMKSY-IWMP and other development programmes can be better achieved through technology. Effective way to achieve the above is through locally-based planning and management at the watershed scale by considering spatial and non-spatial information on one hand and matching the needs and demands of the people on the other. In order to address these considerations, it is necessary to integrate a large amount of spatial information and knowledge from several disciplines. To be useful, the information and knowledge must be made available to stakeholders and decision makers in a rational framework. DSS is a computer-based information system that supports organizational decision-making easier, DSS serves management at planning and operation levels and helps to make decisions, which may be rapidly changing and are not easily specified in advance. Location: DSS will be located at SDC, Bangalore and Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC) would be implemented as per the suggestion of the Technical committee. Strategy:

The WMDSS (Watershed Management Decision Support System) is a tool designed to determine the optimum use of natural resources for improving the productive capacities under a given set of conditions by selecting appropriate strategies. It is a multi-dimensional optimization model designed to identify possible management scenarios that meet multiple resources-allocation objectives under various hydrologic, ecologic, social, regulatory and economic constraints. \

DSS will be developed by service provider in association with domain experts.

4.1.12 Thematic outputs needed for DSS:

Land Resource maps: Soil map indicating the distribution of soils in the watershed area and land management units with survey numbers and legend indicating all the details of the unit using cadastral map. Land Capability map: Land capability map shows the general capability of the resources. The grouping is based on the inherent soil characteristics, external land features and environmental factors that limit the use of the land for various uses.

  

55

Soil slope map: Slope plays an important role in the formation of soils and process of erosion (and alters the overall use of the land). Slope information provides the land users the information on the type and extent of soil and water conservation structures needed. Rock fragments map: Provides information on Gravel content in the soil, stones, boulders and rock pieces and their distribution, greatly influences hydrological characteristics of the soils and thereby the crop production. Soil depth map: Soil depth refers to the depth of the soil occurring above the parent material. It determines the rooting depth, water and nutrient holding capacity of the soil. It is used to group the various soils occurring in the area into different soil series. Surface soil and subsoil texture map: Texture indicates the relative proportion of particles present in the soil. Based on the proportion, the soils are grouped into various textural classes like sand, loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay and clay. Soil reaction map: The level of salinity, alkalinity and acidity influences the quality of soils and has a direct bearing on crop production. Soil erosion map: Erosion due to normal factors like rainfall, slope, soil type etc is known as natural erosion or geological erosion and the erosion due to human disturbance to ecosystem is known as accelerated erosion. The intensity of erosion is assessed based on the physical characters and a map is prepared depicting the variations observed in the field. Water holding capacity and Available water: The parameter is crucial for deciding the type of crops under rainfed situations. In climate-smart agriculture the parameter is of prime importance in selection of crop and management practices. The amount of water held between saturation and field capacity contributes to groundwater recharge and it is essential to know the total water held and also available water for determining the groundwater recharges. It is the measure of the quantity of water stored in soil profile within one meter depth and is readily available for crop production. This water is held between field capacity (1/3 bar) and permanent wilting point (15 bar). Soil organic carbon status: The status of soil organic carbon indicates the inherent fertility and overall health of soils. In tropical countries it is extremely difficult to maintain good organic matter content particularly in fields subjected to frequent ploughing and other farming operations. Monitoring of this parameter is the most important activity when we plan for climate-smart farming, soil carbon sequestration and other related activities. Soil fertility status map: The content and dynamics of major nutrients (macro and micro) should be understood for adopting of precision farming. Nutrient level are

  

56

influenced by management practices, kind of crops cultivated, changes in soil reaction (pH), climatic changes and extreme weather events (drought and floods). Hence this information requires to be updated from time to time.

Meteorological map: The information related to climate in terms of extent and intensities of droughts and areas prone to floods would help to prepare risk management plans.

Geo-Hydrological survey involves: • Geo-morphological studies to determine lineaments and presence of aquifers to

generate lineament map. • Identification of water bodies, runoff and stream characteristics and building

models to develop potential water resources map for surface water and groundwater.

• Hydro-geological survey for water quality, aquifer characteristics and groundwater abstraction and recharge to delineate areas and their status for locating groundwater sanctuaries.

• Vegetation survey is done for identifying species native to the area and useful to society to promote livelihoods.

Vegetation map: Depicting the existing vegetation with respect to forestry species, agriculture and horticulture crops is to be prepared to determine the species native to the area as well as for identifying the areas that will be used for incorporating new technologies based on the knowledge generated at the research institutions to promote vegetative density and productivity.

Livestock map: The density map of different livestock is to be prepared for determining the carrying capacity and productivity so as to incorporate corrective measures and management plans to increase the economic levels by building our native experience with the knowledge generated in the research institutions and experience of the departments.

4.2 Component 2. Research, Development and Innovation

Purpose: Rainfed agriculture is characterized by low productivity and high biotic pressure resulting in reduced vegetative cover, extensive grazing leading to accelerated runoff, soil erosion and low groundwater recharge. The combined outcome has resulted in land degradation and erosion of productive potential of Natural Resources. It is estimated that a total of 7.7 M ha of land in Karnataka is suffering from one type of degradation or the other and about 2.0 M ha have attained the status of waste land; fallow lands have increased from 0.8 to 1.3 M ha over a period of 30 years from 1960 to 1990. Consequent to such degradation the averaged yields are low. Unscientific management of resources, low input use, and need-based farming led to subsistence farming which cannot provide food and livelihood security. Agriculture as a livelihood option under such conditions is considered as a rural poverty trap. Hence there is a need to ensure conservation of natural resources by arresting degradation, judicious use of inputs to increase water use efficiency through adoption of innovative technologies based on land capabilities for minimizing the risks of vulnerability of crops to variations in climate. This would shift subsistence farming to science-based profitable farming venture.

Objectives: To provide new technologies regarding crop selection, planting time, water management, harvesting and value addition to rainfed farmers. To strengthen extension and information systems.

The outcome of Component 1 will be integrated with that of Component 2 for prepation of effective Net Plan through the following activities.

Location: The Research will be carried out in project districts

Strategy: Research, development and innovations for best practices in rainfed farming will be led through the following four sub components • Research for integrated landscape management and agricultural intensification

through thematic studies • Integrated Hydrological Assessment and Monitoring • Technology transfer and • Strengthening research management

Implementation :

The outcome of the research will be adopted for field level production demonstration in multiple localities before recommending. Validation will be done by RAG

4.2.2 Integrated Hydrological Assessment and Monitoring Purpose:

Developing best-practice approaches and tools for basic and advanced hydrological assessment and monitoring by financing development of systems to deliver appropriate hydrological data from sub-watershed to micro-watershed scales. Location: Basic hydrological parameters are monitored in all the 1931 MCs wherein LRI is being carried out. Intensive hydrological monitoring is carried out in 14 model MCs.

Objective: • To strengthen hydrological monitoring • Piloting advanced monitoring systems • To design effective water conservation structures in a watershed • Developing community Groundwater Management System

Strategy:

• A basic hydrological assessment and monitoring in all project micro-watersheds will be done with available information and simple tools.

• For monitoring, communities will be trained to measure a small set of indicators supported by a simple IT-based data-acquisition tool.

• Low-cost monitoring of groundwater levels, key weather parameters, runoff volumes, and changes in water levels in open water bodies (tanks, farm ponds, etc) will be undertaken to support improved, integrated sub-watershed and micro-watershed planning and monitoring.

• Advanced field-based hydrological assessment and monitoring will be undertaken in fourteen micro-watersheds in 11 project districts using integrated models and decision-support tools, cutting edge equipment, and IT-based data-acquisition system. Sensors will be installed to monitor weather, outflow in selected watershed streams, soil physical properties (soil moisture, infiltration rate), soil nutrient level, groundwater levels and usage in wells, and water storage and usage in various water-harvesting structures will be monitored.

• Demonstrating an assessment of groundwater potential/recharge based on aquifer mapping that could be used to guide community-based groundwater management.

Aquifer characteristics in different hydro-geological units • Location and continuity lineaments using remote-sensing data with proper ground

truthing. • Monitoring the water quality changes due to insitu contamination and develop

ameliorative measures through enhanced recharge • Establishing the relationships between the land use and groundwater status

particularly in areas with deep borewells and excessive draft.

  

66

• Detail Project Report (DPR) should have data on Runoff volume, available soil moisture, recharge and ground water draft from each micro-watershed surveyed under the project. Apart from this, detailed analysis of the rainfall pattern, PET and other parameters at the watershed level and length of growing period for each management unit to be incorporated in the report.

Implementation:

The project is targeting 1931 MCs for LRI and the basic Hydrological data has to be gathered by the partners in all these MCs besides collection of advanced Hydrological data collected from the 14 model MCs. The main aspects in Hydrological Assessment and Monitoring to fulfil the above requirement are : Soil Moisture

• Based on soil moisture available from each management unit, the best suited crop for that unit, expected time of stress period if there is lack of rainfall, management strategies to be followed to overcome the stress and possibility of supplemental irrigation wherever possible based on water harvested in farm ponds should be elaborated in DPR.

• Soil Moisture measurements required to be done every 10 days by using TDR and Theta Probe and hydra probe. Soil moisture data will be used for crop planning.

• Amount of water held in soil profile and available soil moisture for each management unit to be arrived based on LRI data base and soil moisture characteristics obtained by the use of pressure membrane apparatus. The values obtained by the above method needs to be validated with the values obtained from hydra probe and theta probe in model watershed areas.

• LAI measurements may be made in each farm every 10 days from May/June to October.

• Moisture Adequacy of dominant crops and tree crops (4-5 measurements in each crop) followed through cropping period.

Runoff

• Based on the runoff, the type of bunding, water harvesting and recharge structures to be constructed in the watershed area will be elaborated in detail in the DPR.

• Runoff volume is calculated based on infiltration rate, arrived by using double ring infiltrometer for the soils identified in the watershed area. The calculated run off volume to be compared with the values obtained through the use of flow meter in the model watershed area and validated.

• Surface run off measures may be made at 4 to 5 locations in each watershed and run off may be estimated for planning water conservation and water harvesting structures.

  

67

• Storage capacity of water bodies and water harvesting structures located in the farm may be determined which has to be deducted from run off if computed by formulas.

Groundwater Recharge

• Ground water level measurements is required to be made twice a month to know the status of water level, its fluctuation and water level trend and estimation of ground water recharge.

• Based on water table fluctuation, as measured in watershed area, the amount of recharge and draft needs to be computed for each watershed.

• Water level measurements of surface water bodies may be made by putting water level gauges to quantify infiltration to ground and recharge to ground water from surface water bodies. It will also help in estimating percentage recharge to ground water from surface water bodies.

Draft / Discharge

• Discharge of wells, their pumping duration and no of pumping days are to be inventoried. Using the data, Ground water draft (use) may be estimated. It is also required to know the yield pattern, to quantify total ground water draft from farm land and to quantify the balance ground water recharge if any for future use.

• The methodology to compute various hydrological parameters will be prepared jointly by IISc and UAS Raichur.

Roles and Responsibilities of Lead Agency (IISc)

sustainable water-resource management will contribute greatly to gender equality by improving access of both women and men to water and water-related services. Equitable, sustainable and guaranteed access to water will result in reduction in loss of produce caused by disruption in water supply and, consequently, helps increase incomes and reduce poverty. Adequate supply of water in the watershed creates an environment for additional production, which promotes employment and income enhancement. Involvement of many people promotes water education and awareness. Linking Hydrological Assessment and Monitoring

Linking Hydrological Assessment and Monitoring to Watershed planning through DSS

Results of hydrological assessment and monitoring can be used to address a wide range of water management issues such as; • Recharging groundwater and thereby aquifers for ensuring sustainability matching

demand and supply. • Reducing loss through runoff and evaporation losses through appropriate

interventions.

• The data needed for undertaking the above assessment can be sourced from the Digital Library. The information is also used for developing appropriate models and incorporates in the decision support system to address complexities involved in sustainable management of both surface- and ground-water resources.

4.2.3 Technology transfer : Purpose:

Demand-driven technology transfer will be strengthened through the development/adaptation of best-practice models and tools for increased adoption by end-users, for use as planning and training tools at micro-watershed level, contingency planning against climatic risks, improved information on markets, post-harvest technology and value addition, and on-farm participatory field trials and demonstrations for specific technologies, for example conservation farming. Location: Initially the transfer of Technology will be demonstrated in the subwatersheds identified for saturation of watershed treatments spread over 11 project districts. Further, it will be spread over the entire project districts.

Objectives: • Development/adaptation of best-practice models in watershed management • Developing planning and training tools.

Strategy: In terms of strengthening extension systems and outreach to rainfed farmers, the PTC will build strengths and links of the existing agricultural extension system. For technology transfer specialist technical agencies, closely coordinated by the PTC will be contracted work in consultation with DoA and end users to develop information and decision tools for end users. The PTC will coordinate closely with the DoA’s and UAS field research and extension wings. The PTC shall ensure that extension units such as district agricultural offices in project watersheds are closely involved to feed research results into the extension training programmes (under Component 3).

Areas of Technology Transfer:

The tools and techniques required to be demonstrated as best-practice models for end users are in the following areas. • Land capability maps at micro-watershed level indicating potentials and constraints

of the resources at individual farm level. • Land suitability maps for cereals, oilseeds, pulses, horticultural crops, tree crops

and farming systems • Contingency plans for managing climate risks such as drought, variations in the

onset and withdrawals of monsoon, and flood. • Synergizing other developmental programmes such as soil and water conservation

measures with soil topography and rainfall maps generated through Land resources inventory.

  

73

• Using hydro-geological and geo-morphological maps to develop groundwater management plans

• Monitoring information related to market demands, supplies and prices on the data base for dissemination.

Methodology for Transfer of Technology: • The new technology will be disseminated by organizing demonstrations on specific

land uses, crops and farming systems, INM, IPM, Water use efficiency, water conservation through land configuration systems, alternative land uses and livestock management.

• Audio-visual aids, web based information can also be used for intensification of agriculture and improving water-use efficiency.

• Exposure visits to farmers within the District/State will be arranged for better understanding and adaptation of the technology by them.

• In addition to the above, adaptive trials will be conducted on farmers’ fields so as to train them for sustaining higher production levels and preventing resource degradation. Specific themes will be selected and farmers’ field schools will be organized through Lead Farmers for training purposes.

4.2.4 Pilot demonstrations on watershed treatments (complete treatment of all the interventions) in selected micro watersheds

Introduction :

Govt. of India has fixed the cost per hectare of Rs.12000/-in plains and Rs.15000/-in hilly areas under PMKSY-IWMP projects. Of which amount available for land based activities is Rs.6720/Ha in plains and Rs.8400/Ha in hilly areas. In this context, the area planned to be treated may not be fully covered giving thrust for all the activities required in that parcel on holistic approach due to paucity of funds.

Taking stock of the situation, in order to assess the real time visible impact of all the activities/interventions with respect to natural resource management, land capability, crop production and productivity of the soils eventually to see the marked improvement in the production and sustainable management of natural resources saturation activity is planned. It is proposed to identify one sub-watershed in each of the project district which was treated under PMKSY-IWMP in which taking the stock of the previously executed net plan, revisiting all the parcels of the sub-watershed /Micro-watershed to prepare the revised net plan based on the interventions required in the parcel on real time basis to precipitate desirable out puts. Therefore, the planned area will be treated to measure the impact of interventions for sustainable management of natural resources dovetailing the funds of Rs. 134.30 crores for 9 sub watersheds and 2 Micro watersheds (Model) in Raichur and Chikkamagalur under Sujala-3 project.

  

74

The selected subwatersheds include activities related to Soil and Water Conservation structures, Forestry, Horticulture Animal Husbandry and Income Generation Activities aimed at integrated Farming system. The data pertaining to these activities are generated through Sujala-III and dove tailed to IWMP.

Activities involved are linked to IWMP by following detailed procedure prescribed under the common guidelines for watershed development projects - 2011 issued by Govt. of India. The Physical implementation of the projects based on e-DPR will be monitored through PIA. The roles and responsibilities and method of implementation, monitoring of the progress and results in accordance with the guidelines is given in para. 5.

The details of subwatersheds selected for demonstration of treatment saturation is given below.

Purpose: The present Project intends to expand and refine the Planning process by bringing in the New Scientific Knowledge base and planning tools developed under various components. Location: The Master plans are prepared in all the 11 project districts to demonstrate the efficacy of adopting scientific inputs in watershed treatments over the conventional methods.

Objectives: • To facilitate Participatory PMKSY-IWMP micro-watershed master planning

process with new tools and scientific knowledge base that would promote more effective integration of watershed management with other development programmes under different sectors.

• To demonstrate and create awareness of the utility of new planning tools and knowledge base

• Improved resource conservation and production practices so as to establish equity and inclusiveness

  

75

• To promote better integration between watershed planning and agricultural crop planning.

• Revision of the field PMKSY-IWMP manual in year 1 to incorporate new processes for watershed planning.

• After implementing, to draw in lessons learned from project implementation and to diffuse the same on a wider scale for making integrated planning approaches for sustainable cost effective development.

• Developing incremental training modules that can be integrated into PMKSY-IWMP planning process with communities and GPs

• Integrated Watershed development programmes, initiated under the Hanumanth Rao committee recommendations, as a strategy for over all development of agriculture in the country has been in operation since the Seventh Five Year Plan (FYP 89-92) guided by the pre and post Hariyali Guidelines of GOI.

During this period the Watershed development programmes focused on Soil and Water Conservation Works, adopting a top-down approach. It was observed that the supply-demand mismatch resulting in inadequate attention to local needs and aspirations of the communities leading to inadequate implementation and consequent lack of sustainability. It was, therefore, felt that there was a need for technology-cum-resource driven agriculture to achieve region-specific resource-use optimality and gender equity to make the programme truly people-centred and people-driven. Consequently, rural development by way of transition from traditional isolation to integration with new technologies through people’s participation has become the current policy paradigm and enunciated in the XIth Plan. The KWDP – I (Sujala I) demonstrated the new socially inclusive participatory Watershed approach. The Common Guidelines 2008 issued by the NRRA, MOA, GOI to a great extent reflect the Sujala learning. The PMKSY-IWMP planning process revolves around the Common Guidelines. Strategy:

The database generated for the micro-watersheds, under the sub-watershed in each district can be sourced from the digital library established under the sub Component 1.2 in the main Component 1. Using this information, problems, constraints and potentials of the selected sub-watershed can be identified.

Climate analysis used for identifying periods of onset and withdrawal of the monsoon, droughts of different duration and intensity, periods of intense rains and occurrence of floods and other aberrations that affect crop production for developing appropriate contingency crop plans to mitigate the adversities of climate. Livestock details for determining their health and productive performance so as to develop plans to promote health and performance using the available knowledge generated in the Universities.

Crops and cropping practices followed along with productivity levels so as to develop appropriate crop and crop management plans in relation to soil characteristics based on

  

76

the information generated in research organizations (Universities of Agricultural Sciences, University of Horticultural Sciences, Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry). Implementation:

Considering the information contained in the above database and thematic maps, a tentative land use plan for the concerned watershed will be prepared for the use of the various line departments and implementing agency/agencies, as per the schematic diagram below. (Page no. 83) The land use plan highlights the problems, potentials and suitability of the resources for various agricultural and non-agricultural uses with multiple options to choose from. This facilitates net planning process and finalization of Action Plan for implementation (by line departments followed by PRA exercise). Micro-watershed master plan

Hither too, the practice of treatment of selected watersheds was based on the development of Detail project report (DPR). The DPR was prepared by following the steps prescribed under the common guidelines issued by DoLR, GoI. The main thrust in these activities was on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) by involving local communities / beneficiaries through NGO’s. This methodology is further refined by dovetailing various scientific data gathered through LRI, Hydrogeology, Socio-economic and Live stock inventory carried out through Sujala-III thus the detailed treatment plan evolved with these inputs are more effective and followed in project districts by linking to PMKSY Micro-watershed Master Plans are prepared by teams of various stakeholders – including the community (through various CBOs) and the facilitators (NGOs and the Department). The following teams will be involved at the micro-watershed level for this purpose.

• Executive Committee (EC) of the watershed and GP • User Groups (UG); and SHGs • NGO staff, Watershed Assistants and local facilitators • Watershed Development Team consisting of AO, AHO, RFO, AAO • Resource persons from SAU’s

• To provide assistance and facilitate involvement of EC, UG, SHG and GP members and participation of all vulnerable sections of the society in the entire planning process for resource conservation under the guidance of WDT.

• The NGO in association with WA will collect and collate the information required for generating management plans for developing common and waste lands involving EC and SHGs.

• Identify appropriate Income Generation Activities for the landless for achieving convergence with National Livelihood Improvement Programme and Special Component Programmes.

Executive Committee

(EC)

Executive Committee is constituted to implement the watershed projects with the technical support of multi disciplinary Team of Watershed Development Department (WDD). It operates at Grama Panchayat (GP) level consisting of 11 to 15 members (4-6 representatives from SHGs 5-7 representatives from UGs and 1-2 members of GPs). GP president is the president of the EC. Department person is serving as a treasurer cum secretary of the EC.

Landed members • Responsible for proper implementation of PMKSY • Actively participates in the planning process starting from

farmer to the preparation of Net Plan • Prepare the Action plan and DPR, get it approved by the Gram

Panchayath and submit to ADA • After getting approval from DLRC the DPR is to be

implemented • Monitoring the progress

Landless members • Selection of suitable beneficiary members • Plan for management and maintenance of common property

resources in perpetuity • To ensure participation of all the vulnerable families dependent

on the resources of common property while planning for common lands

• Monitoring the progress

  

79

User Groups (UG)

The UGs shall participate to take the advantage of science-based land-use planning and value-addition with their traditional knowledge to make the programme more effective in order to conserve the resources and manage them efficiently for higher incomes and achieve sustainability. • User Groups shall take the lead in implementing Land based

or Land less activities • They play major role in preparing Action plan and their

implementation based on the inputs from WDT and NGO’s.

Self Help Groups (SHG)

SHGs are small, informal groups of 20 or fewer members drawn from the economically poorer sections of the community such as landless families, small and marginal farmer groups, artisans, or SC and ST population. They are normally groups with economic homogeneity and emotional affinity. Potential members for SHGs are identified through wealth ranking exercises in each village during delineation on mini and micro catchments and micro watersheds. SHGs are a means to providing members with economic, social and political empowerment and a means to ensure equity in the watershed management programme to benefit the landowners. SHGs are trained and exposed to other areas to enhance their capacity.. Later, these SHGs are graded through well structured criteria to assess their maturity. Next step is preparation of IGA sub plan for each of these SHGs through Entrepreneurship Awareness Programme (EAP). These trainings are conducted to select different livelihood activities by considering their capacity, skill, availability of raw materials and market demand. It is expected that on an average, 70 to 80% of the beneficiaries will opt for traditional livestock based activities and petty trade which doesn’t require any additional skill up gradation. However, for livestock beneficiaries Village Based Trainings (VBTs) for livestock management and training on fodder production are imparted with assistance of local Animal Husbandry Department. If any of the SHG is not performing well, handholding is provided through local NGOs with the support of WDT. They are given counseling for establishing and managing the micro enterprises. Special care to be given for problematic IGA. The needy entrepreneurs are exposed and linked to markets by local NGO.

  

80

The SHGs will also participate in developing the community, common and waste lands for enlarging their livelihoods and effectively manage the assets created.

Role of GPs

• GPs will function at micro watershed level • Facilitate participation of GP and the Grama Sabha in the

planning process • Vetting Net plan in consultation with EC and fine tuning • Plan for management and maintenance of common property • Training facilitation for convergence planning process

• Preparation of Atlas of each Micro-watershed • Preparation of a user manual for easy use by the line departments

4.2.5 Pilot Demonstration of Water Harvesting and Production technologies

Objectives

To demonstrate the efficacy of adopting various scientific data gathered under Sujala-III in holistic treatment of watersheds for enhancing the productivity.

Location

All the project districts

Strategy

Steps involved is shown below;

• Assess the capacity development needs for the farmers, watershed development staff and officers of the Sujala watershed program in the area of productivity enhancement.

• Prepare training modules for farmers as well as staff for productivity enhancement measures through holistic approach.

• Train the university scientists and WDD staff as master trainers in holistic productivity enhancement interventions

• To enhance the productivity of the crops in the watersheds by adopting holistic integrated approach for increasing profitability and sustainability

• Demonstrate and undertake participatory evaluation of in-situ conservation measures to minimize runoff and soil loss in the individual farmer fields through sample plots.

• Collect data for calculating cost of cultivation and profitability of the improved interventions to assess economic viability of the productivity enhancement interventions.

• Disseminate the benefits of precise input use to other farmers and stakeholders; • Train farmers in productivity enhancement measures through conducting field days

in each district

  

83

Implementation

It is proposed to undertake a holistic demonstration of production technologies in each of the project districts where saturation of watersheds treatments is undertaken. The idea is to integrate all the findings of Sujala-III in selected micro watersheds to demonstrate the efficacy of Scientific planning over the traditional method followed in IWMP.

4.3 Component 3: Institutional Strengthening

Purpose:

The component would finance eligible expenditures for goods, consulting services, training, minor works and incremental operating costs.

The project seeks to demonstrate more effective watershed management through greater programme integration related to rainfed agriculture, innovative and science-based approaches, strengthened institutions and increased capacities of the stakeholders. The project proposes to strengthen science base of watershed management under PMKSY-IWMP through land management in the light of soil variability hydrological dynamics and climate variability along with Horticulture, value chain & value addition etc. It is considered that greater participation of small and marginal farmers in the proposed extension delivery system, agricultural, horticultural schemes, will enhance their opportunities to adopt new technologies for realizing higher yields and incomes. In addition, stakeholders require more knowledge and expertise on improved planning tools and process, land management and productivity in rainfed areas.

Objective (i) Institutional development focusing engagement of stakeholders in relation to the

development objectives and (ii) Enhancing knowledge base and skill levels of different stake holders.

Strategy

• Train the community institutions, Gram Panchayat members, and farmers about the benefits of integrated watershed planning and the importance of effective convergence of PMKSY-IWMP operations.

• Train the farmers on integrated crop planning, water management, farming intensity, environmental management, soil and soil moisture management, and adaptation to climatic change, etc.

• Incremental training for User Groups / Producer groups on improved harvesting and post-harvest handling of produce, Primary processing and value addition, assessing the market potential etc. for Agriculture and Horticulture crops.

  

84

• Awareness training for the members of Self-Help Groups about the other ongoing Government Schemes and Programs on Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry etc.

• Organising Exposure Visits for community members across the project area for exchange of information, sharing the Knowledge and adoption of latest Technology.

• Preparing customised training modules & programs on planning processes. • Development and Strengthening of the in-house M&E systems in WDD

Implementation:

This component has two parts namely a) Improving the knowledge, skill and ability of different stake holders and b) Upgrading the institutional infrastructure to facilitate the above activities.

WDD has engaged ICRISAT for undertaking detailed training need assessment and to develop training modules and tools to train stakeholders at different levels and to deliver the training programmes. Further, they are entrusted with the training of Stake holders at Stake and district levels besides organising exposure visits, conducting workshops and seminars.

NGOs and partners will assist the WDT in arranging for capacity building activities of stake holders up to micro watershed level.

4.4 Component 4. Strengthening Horticulture in Rainfed Areas

Introduction:

Horticulture sector in the project area would focus on introduction of new varieties/ crops suitable for rainfed areas. Capability Building, enhancing knowledge base and assisting the farmers through training and demonstrations on new practices and packages suitable for Rainfed areas will be taken up on priority. Farmers in micro watersheds will be mobilized to adopt collective approach for harnessing the benefits of scale, as well as better post harvest and value addition practices besides integrated nutrition and pest management practices. The project has programmes to provide incremental management support and training by complementing the current interventions to improve productivity in selected horticultural crops. The sectoral staff along with resource institutes, would organize the Horticulture farmer groups in the watersheds and will be trained on input production on farm, skill development in dry land horticulture production technology, post harvest handling and establishment of direct market linkages including value additions. The project planning and implementation will be concentrated broadly on the following 4 areas:

1. Extension and demonstrations to Farmer Groups on annual and perennial horticulture crops, nutritional gardens and crop water management.

2. Establishment of soil, water and leaf analysis facilities and monitoring the nutritional status through training and capacity building programmes.

3. Strengthening post harvest management, marketing and value addition through technical support by instituting the studies for generating scientific know how.

4. Strengthening horticulture sector through service support for meeting the above requirements.

The horticulture component of Sujala-III project is implemented through FPO approach for better effectiveness. The FPO will generally have a minimum of 1000 farmer members of the project area. About 20 farmers are grouped to become the Farmer interest Groups who are in close proximity.

The activities will be taken up on pilot/ demonstration basis and the activities of the project catalyse adoption of similar approach and wider implementation in rest of the district and other districts. The project shall ensure, Capacity building and training of the farmers with required knowledge base, establishment of post harvest and marketing facilities, coordinating with marketing and processing activities and providing policy support from time to time.

  

105

Structure of the Horticulture Project Monitoring Cell

4.4.1 Extension and Demonstration for Productivity improvement:

Purpose:

The productivity of horticultural crops in dry land areas is generally low as farmers are adopting low investment cropping systems to avert the risk of crop failures. This component targets on building the capacity of farmers, by providing the required package of practices. The design of these interventions will follow the schedule of training, exposure visits, demonstration on adoption of Good Farming Practices. Better management of rain water and adoption of Good Agriculture Practices for sustainable production of perennial and annual crops in farmers field and establishment of nutritional gardens in public schools. The Component would also support field days, training the facilitators and development of crop specific literature on crop profiles, video films, CDs.

Objectives:

Improving knowledge base and skills of farmers on production practices for perennial and annual horticulture crops in watershed areas to enhance productivity and returns and establishment of nutritional gardens in the premises of public schools.

Motivating the farmers to adopt Good Agriculture Practices for sustainable production of horticultural crops in rain fed areas.

To adopt a collective approach for building the capacity of farmers,

Location: The activities are planned in all the 11 project districts.

Strategy:

i. Training of farmers: The farmers will be trained on potential horticulture crops. The crop selection based on LRI data, land use capability and market demand and such trainings will be carried out by the project horticulture staff. This component will be implemented during second, third and fourth year in line with the coverage of area under the project.

ii. Demonstrations: Demonstration on cultivation of perennial crops, such as Mango,

Guava, Jack, Amla, Sapota, Jamun, Tamarind, Acid Lime, Cashew, Ber, etc., suited to soil, climate and market demand will be laid out in farmers’ field with the participation of farmers and support from the project in an area of one hectare in each MWS. This activity will be taken up during 2nd, 3rd and 4th year to enable other farmers to follow the lessons of demos in their farms. The crop selection for demonstrations in different MWS are made based on LRI data. The interventions namely introduction of horticulture crops where field crops were grown continuously, improved varieties, high / medium density of planting, INM, new crop consortium, IPM, Land based activities, mulching, use of hydrogels etc., which enhance productivity, production and returns to the farmers. Both perennial (fruits) and vegetable crops are used for demonstrations based on suitability for the MWS. Similarly, the demonstrations of annual vegetables, such as Tomato, Onion, Chilli, Brinjal, Okra, Drumstick, Curry leaf etc., flowers such as Marigold, Chrysanthemum, Gailardia etc., medicinal (Ashwagandha), aromatic crops (Lemon grass, Vetivera etc.,) and spices (Turmeric and Ginger) suited to soil, climate and market demand will be taken up in farmer’s field with their participation. Demonstrations on nutritional gardens is proposed to be taken up in Govt schools through Grama Panchayats and School Management Committees by growing local vegetables, fruits and herbs, etc., round the year.

iii. Productivity Improvement in Departmental Farms

The existing departmental horticultural farms in the project districts are strengthened with crop productivity improvement programmes and also rejuvenation of progeny orchards to serve as demonstration to the FIGs of the project. The productivity program involves developing watershed concepts like a) soil and water conservation structures such as compartment bunding, TCB, crescent bunding, catch pits and organic mulching b) rejuvenation of progeny orchard through training and pruning, top working, adoption of INM, IPM and suitable cropping systems, drip irrigation etc., c) Strengthen the model nurseries for supplying quality planting materials.

iv. Nutrition Garden Demonstrations

The demonstration on nutritional garden activity implemented in Government schools through the participation of Gram Panchayats and school management committees by growing local vegetables, fruits, herbs etc., round the year. This will help in providing fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs to the student community to alleviate mal nutrition.

v. Field days: Every demo will be followed with field days. Farmer to farmer interactions are also arranged regarding adoption of new technologies. The participated farmers in the field day are the source of spreading/transfer of technologies to other farmers of the region.

  

107

vi. Exposure Visits : The exposure visits enable FIGs, FPO management, farmers from different areas/ MWS to interact with and learn from each other allowing them to weave practical examples of successful integration of sustainable, proven and scientific practices in farming.

vii. Formation of FIGs : The FIGs formed in Sujala-III will be strengthened by building capacity in production, post harvest handling and provide hand holding support until the Sanghas become self sustainable. These FIGs will be the focal point for conducting the demonstrations and all other activities of the horticulture component in the MWS.

viii. Demonstrations of horticulture service support programmes: The nutrition kits involving organic manure enriched with bio agents and micronutrients are supplied to FIGs to conduct demonstration on fruits and vegetable crops. The crop growth and productivity is enhanced in dry land areas as a result income of the farmer increase besides improvement in soil health.

ix. Creation of Greenhouse with water storage structures: Aimed to demonstrate the productivity enhancement per unit area by cultivation of high value vegetable crops like tomato, capsicum, cucumber, flower crops and seed production activities. The rain water falling on greenhouses is effectively harvested and utilised for cultivation of crop.

x. Training to facilitators: The lead member of FIG will be identified and trained to guide other farmers for implementation of horticulture components in MWS. These trainings and exposure visits are conducted regularly to update their knowledge about advanced production and PHM technologies / activities imparted by the concerned experts of KVK’s/SAU’s/Project staff / Consultants / SMS.

xi. Publications: Booklets having a detailed information on the package of practices to various crops, marketing and post-harvest processing and contingent planning for the district and such booklets will be given to the facilitators, UGs and horticulture SHGs. The publications on a) Crop interventions manual comprising of mango, sapota, guava, jamun, jack, ber, tamarind, clustered apple, acid lime, cashew and amla considering LRI information (S1 & S2 crops) b) Crop interventions manual of annual vegetable crops comprising of tomato, brinjal, onion, okra, chillies, drumstick, curry leaf and spices like turmeric and ginger c) IPM manual for fruits, vegetable and spices covered under the project. d) Individual crop production technology leaflets are also being prepared.

  

108

xii. GIS Laboratory for Horticulture

All the activities under the project are to be monitored concurrently for efficient results/outcome and well documented. From planning, analyzing the field, crop production, harvest analysis and precision horticulture tracking & field data collection, quality, efficiency of the above activities and evaluation can be improved through GIS facility as against the manual inspection and evaluation. By this digital monitoring the time frame required for evaluation is reduced. Although, online monitoring of activities through computerization/digitalization is being implemented in the Department, the GIS will help in mapping the activities farmer wise, survey number wise, village wise, hobli wise, taluk wise, district wise and at MWS level.

xiii. Mobile Services Platform & App for Custom Hiring Service Centre

Most of the small and marginal farmers use farm machinery, tools and vehicles on hire basis. In the present system, there are several problems as there are no regular and formal arrangements for hiring. It is generally on adhoc basis and has many problems. Presently under the project, farm equipment and tools have been provided to the FPOs as Custom Hiring Centres(CHC), but the facility are not put to full use. In order to enable efficient use of the CHC equipment as also make available farm equipment to the FPO members in a timely and efficient manner, a customer hiring service centre with required equipments, hardware and software is planned.

The mobile services platform will have a robust backend software system with a quick-response front end system for efficient management and hiring of the CHC, other facilities of FPO as also other farm equipment available with the registered farmers. The system should be dynamic and with quick response. The platform/ system along with the personnel should be able to undertake activities namely; a)Maintain dynamic database of all equipments of CHC, other facilities of FPO and registered farmers b) Maintain membership of users c) End to end solution starting from Accepting requests from Farmers for equipment, schedule automatic allotment, billing, payment tracking d) Proper maintenance of the equipment e) Training of Drivers and staff on operation and maintenance and f) Provide analytical tools/ information regarding usage, trends, etc.,

Time Frame: The time line for implementation of each activity of the subcomponents are given in the annexure comprising the GANNT chart. These sub components will be implemented from 2nd to 5th year of the project period.

  

109

Documentation: The staff will document details of each activity including the mode of implementation, level of community /farmers involvement, feedback received during the implementation, post implementation impact and level of adoption of the techno-managerial aspect introduced under the sub component and lessons learnt for up-scaling including the grading of each of the activity. The feedback received will be circulated for taking research and further innovations on the areas of demand by the farmers.

The detail of each activity with its success and impact on sustainable productivity and returns will be documented through case studies, success stories, video films and photos of both perennial and annual crops. This document will serve as a permanent source of information on production technologies of different crops for the future farmers, SMS, users, and other facilitators.

4.4.2 Soil and Crop Monitoring:

Purpose:

To overcome the risk of crop failure due to drought and to build capacity of farmers to take timely decisions in application of right nutrients based on appropriate scientific knowledge, it is proposed to establish soil, water and plant tissue analysis facilities at district level and facilitate the farmers to maintain a good health of crop-soil-humus ratio.

Objective:

It is proposed to train the farmers on the soil health and its importance, the sampling method and adoption of suitable measures. The soil health cards will be distributed to farmers.

Location: The activities are planned in all the 11 project districts.

Soil, Water & Leaf Analysis:

Soil and leaf tissue analysis will be carried out for major nutrients (N, P, K, pH, EC, Secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg, S), Micro nutrients (Ca, Zn, Mn, B, Fe etc) & heavy metals (Lead, Arsenic, Chromium & Cadmium) and water analysis for pH, EC, Carbonates/Bicarbonates, Chlorides, Sodium & heavy metals. The samples can also be analysed from SAUs and KVK.

i. Soil, water and leaf tissue testing laboratories: Soil, water and leaf tissue laboratory facilities will be established in one district (Koppal) under the project during the 3rd year of the project period. These laboratories will be managed by the project staff. The necessary analysis of the

  

110

samples given by the farmers and recommend suitable correction measures to be taken up based on test results. At present since the laboratories are still under construction and establishment stage, the collected soil/water samples are analysed through KVKs/SAUs/Departments.

Time Period:

The component activities has been initiated during 3rdyear and continued up to 5th year. Later on the horticulture department would extend handholding support to farmers to continue the practices on their own.

4.4.3. Post Harvest Management:

Purpose :

Many a times crops produced by the farmers will not fetch the desired price in the market owing to the glut, damage during harvesting or transportation. During such season, if the farmer can be supported with post harvest manipulations and value addition to his produce it will fetch better remunerative price.

Objective:

Tomato, Onion, Chilli and potato growers are the frequent victims of inadequate post-harvest and market linkages. To prevent such situation and to avoid farmers falling into distress sale, it is proposed to develop appropriate post harvest handling and marketing facilities and linkages in the project area.

Strategy

Post harvest technology is required for storage, primary and secondary processing, packaging, distribution and marketing of horticultural crops. This would stimulate production, minimise post-harvest losses, improve nutrition and add value to the produces. In this process, it would generate employment, improve the economic status and catalyse technological innovations, commercial entrepreneurship and respond in an integrated manner to the development needs.

This will be taken up with demonstration of scientific harvesting for different crops and popularise the harvesting practices as well as establishment of suitable storage, handling, post-harvest infrastructure and processing units.

Location: The activities are planned in all the 11 project districts.

a) Assessment of Post Harvest Infrastructure & Market Linkage and Value Chain Packages for selected crops:

A study on the assessment of Post Harvest Infrastructure and marketing linkage requirement including a baseline survey shall be conducted. This activity is required to obtain baseline data of the FPO farmers in the project area; assess the post harvest

  

111

infrastructure & market linkage – existing and required for the district; obtain designs, drawings and specifications for the post harvest and marketing facilities. For this purpose, NABARD Consultancy Serivces (P) Ltd., -NABCONS had been assigned the work pertaining to the initial seven districts of Sujala –III Project and the firm has already submitted its report.

b) Training & Capacity building

The project looks at an end to end approach, the FPOs and the other Stakeholders apart from being specialised in their field of activity are also expected to have knowledge of Post-Harvest Management, Marketing, Business Operations and statutory & legal aspects of FPO. This activity shall include training, capacity building, exposure visits, participation in exhibitions by having stalls and visit to exhibitions etc.

The stakeholders will be continuously trained and guided by the horticultural staff working in Sujala-III project. Along with them innovative/enterprising farmers will be trained to capacitate them on the post-harvest management of the produces.

c) Post Harvest Infrastructure & Practices.

i) Ripening Units: Ripening is the process by which fruits attain their desirable flavour, quality, colour and other textural properties. Presently the aggregators adopt unscientific ripening system which leads to physical loss and quality deterioration of the produces. In order to educate the farmers, local entrepreneurs, FPOs and traders on the scientific line of ripening of fruits, it is proposed to establish the ripening units in all districts with the FPO.

The safe and worldwide accepted method is using ethylene, which is a natural hormone for ripening when done under controlled temperature and relative humidity conditions. Ethylene being a natural hormone does not pose any health hazard for consumers of the fruits.

The scientifically designed ripening units yield good quality and safe fruits to the consumers on one end and promote scientific ripening among the farmer/ farmer groups and traders on the other. It is also necessary to promote consumption of safe and good fruits among consumers.

ii. Community Pack house: In order to establish an organised marketing system and network, the Community Pack house in the Production area becomes a very important requirement. Facility for aggregating and handling a reasonable good quantity of produce at one location is very important from the marketing point of view and can attract buyers. Further different markets have preference for different crops/ varieties/ package sizes and packaging types. This sorting, grading and packing to meet the buyer requirement (domestic/ exports) is best done in a community pack house.

iii. Small Scale Processing Units: The primary/ minimal processing and small scale processing units will help in value addition to the produce. This will be more useful during seasons of glut when there is high production and low returns for the fresh

  

112

produce. Some of the processing units are Solar drying units, powdering units, paste making, pickling etc. This shall be based on the crops available in the region as also other factors such as market potential, operation and management risks, investments etc.

iv. Collection centres and retail outlets:

Under this component, it is proposed to establish infrastructures for running collection/ aggregation centres for horticulture produce at the FIG level . The project will bring both farmers and market functionaries on common platform through these centres wherein produces and market functionaries relationship would be established.

d. Technical Modules and Manuals for PHM and marketing.

It would be necessary to have Technical modules, bulletins, leaflets and manuals pertaining to Post Harvest Management, processing, value addition & Marketing in print and audio visual version for the crops selected in the project to create awareness, for training and capacity building to different stakeholders of the value chain.

4.4.4 Strengthening of Market Linkages

Purpose:

Horticultural produces are often perishable hence are to be disposed off within a short time. This constraint of the farmer is being exploited by the middle men. This situation can be averted by establishing proper linkages with the market for timely disposal of the produce.

Objective:

Establishing & Strengthening of market linkages to the farmers/ FPOs is vital for the benefit of the farmers and success of the project. Following activities are planned to be taken up in the project.

Location: The activities are planned in all the 11 project districts. a) Establishing of Horticulture Farmer FPOs: Producer companies are the institutions to be registered under the provisions of the amendments brought to Companies Act 1965 of India. The responsibilities of these organizations are to assist the member producers from seed to value chain management of Agri Business enterprises in rural areas.

b) Handholding & Incubation support for FPOs: Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) play an important and central role in implementation of Sujala Project –III. The work of mobilization of farmers, registration and related capacity building for the FPOs is taken up by several Resource Institutes through Small Farmer’s Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC).

During the implementation of the project, it was suggested that services of a separate agency for development of business plan for the FPOs, incubation support, close

  

113

monitoring and hand holding them through the project for liking up both backward and forward linkage is necessary. This matter had been discussed in the Departmental meeting for FPOs and it was suggested that services of specialised and experienced agencies shall be utilized for incubation and handholding services in the Sujala Project . Subsequently, During the May 2016 Mission of World Bank, it was suggested to contract a suitable technical agency to lead the development of “end to end” business plans for 2 to 3 key crops across all project supported FPOs.

c) Activities for Value Chain & Value addition: Apart from the general post-harvest and marketing facilities for the project, there are certain important crops in certain districts which require special attention and support in the entire value chain in view of the importance of the crop and the involvement of a large number of farmers and their economies. The above value chain interventions are indicative and there can be more crops and districts based on the need of the district/ FPO.

d) Marketing Support: Marketing infrastructure and strengthening market linkages is the most desired and wanted support by the farmers/ FPOs. Sustainability of community enterprise (FPOs and its business activities) would lead to sustainability of the family income. Establishing of required marketing infrastructure and providing support facilities for marketing and branding including developing skills of the farmers/ FIGs and FPO on potential of marketing with proper grading, sorting, packing including promotion and branding as well as providing market linkages and exposing them to new markets will be undertaken in this sub component.

e) Marketing Studies and Tie-up: Market linkage of FPOs with the buyers namely Retail Chains/ Retailers, Institutions, Wholesalers, Processing Industry, Exporters is a very crucial aspect of the project. Crops which are of importance to the FPOs and have potential shall be identified and market studies undertaken by an agency/ consultant for identifying market segments, potential buyers as well as draft agreements for tie-up.

Note:

A business plan shall be prepared for all the Sujala FPOs in the project districts. The business plan shall include information on all the business activities to be undertaken as also the post harvest and marketing facilities to be provided under the project. The Infrastructure and support facilities mentioned above are indicative.

4.5.3 Project monitoring and evaluation Preface Input-output monitoring and regular reporting will be supported by a web-enabled computerized MIS which will be an integral part of the M&E system,

Monitoring is a systematic and continuous assessment of the progress and direction of all activities throughout the project period, watching closely the project implementation trajectories and the results achieved. In the process, shortcomings are identified and brought to the notice of decision-makers, to facilitate implementation of corrective measures. Evaluation consists of determining the net contribution of the project to agricultural intensification in the project area adopting science-based farming and benefits that are accrued to the stakeholders, by using a set of indicators. Learning comprises the corrective measures identified to bridge the gaps observed in the programme during the monitoring. The learning insights that emerge in the process should be documented for generating a knowledge base that will be used in developing contingency plans to overcome shortcomings in implementation of similar programmes elsewhere. The learning, therefore, triggers multiplier effects across space and time. Purpose Monitoring and Evaluation provides an insight to the management regarding the course of implementation of the project vis a vis the development objectives. It could be on two planes namely Physical and Financial. It alters the management to take appropriate steps. Further, it helps in identifying best practices for replication else where and documentation for future use.

Strategy:

The M&E responsibilities will be distributed across all the project units and staff. However, primary responsibilities at each level will rest with M&E specialists:

a) Various committees such as PEC, PPMU, PTC, FMPC, etc. are monitoring the progress of implementation of the project.

b) IIWSC Bellary is monitoring the technical aspects c) Third Party Agency is appointed to monitor the impact in saturation MCs d) World Bank will monitor the progress of implementation against the project

development objective and financial reimbursement regularly. e) Monitoring of research project by ICAR and IIHR f) M&E Coordinator at the state level;

The Results framework table in Annexure outlines responsibilities in relation to outcome monitoring.

  

123

Refer para 4.5.4 below regarding technical monitoring

Implementation:

The sub-component will finance the incremental third party monitoring and evaluation requirements relevant to project activities specifically, complementing the overall M&E system operating under IWMP. The M&E system shall consist of the following elements:

i) Baseline studies; ii) concurrent progress monitoring; iii) process monitoring and pathway analysis; iv) results monitoring, including performance assessments, with regular local and State project planning and review workshops; v) participatory monitoring and evaluation; vi) thematic studies and case-studies, with learning and policy oriented workshops; and vii) impact evaluation.

Impact Assessment Impact Assessment of the project is done to evaluate the overall impact of the project on the natural resources and socio-economic aspects. This is done through 10% sampling (socio-economic & natural resources) with respect to baseline, mid-term and final assessment. Impact assessment will be carried out in 3 stages:-

• Baseline survey: The first stage will be initiated with baseline survey, which forms the benchmark for the mid-term and final assessment. The sample watersheds under the project taluk will be selected through simple random sampling with ‘control’ watersheds selected outside the project area. The baseline surveys would draw information from the Digital Library and Natural Resources Portal and data from other sources.

• Mid-term assessment: will be carried out to coincide with the half way point of project implementation. It will make use of baseline information as benchmark.

• Final assessment: The final evaluation would coincide with the end of the project. At this stage, the evaluation would focus on the project’s overall objectives of improved productivity, reduction in poverty across the target population through scientific land-use, performance of the local level institutions regarding their ability to manage the resources, level of convergence with other development programmes to determine equity, inclusiveness and optimum allocation of financial resources. It will also focus on the best management practices identified involving research organizations.

Concurrent progress monitoring

The purpose of this activity is to assess progress in implementation against time and fund utilization against budget. It will report on progress of implementation and expenditure on a quarterly and annual basis. Concurrent monitoring consist of two parts:

  

124

• Input-output monitoring (updated monthly, reported quarterly and annually) to be undertaken by project implementation and management units supported by an MIS; and

• Sample survey (quarterly basis), to be undertaken by an external M&E agency for validation of internal reports.

Process monitoring and pathway analysis

Process monitoring will deal with critical processes directly related to the project objectives, viz., formulation of integrated plans, convergence of resources, and so on. It will be combined with ‘pathway analysis’ to systematically study and analyze the factors leading to achievement or non-achievement of intermediate project outcomes and impacts. Process monitoring responsibilities will be divided between internal and external auditors, and specific formats and checklists developed to facilitate process monitoring by internal staff members. To deal with the constraints of lack of capacity for undertaking such assignment, an external agency will be hired for capacity building of project team.

Monitoring of results To track efficiency and effectiveness of the project interventions, achievement of results will be continuously monitored. While the MIS will be able to track immediate results, tracking of intermediate outcomes will be done by an external M&E agency, which will also validate findings of input-output monitoring on a quarterly basis. Any deviations notice will be corrected.

Project Management Information Systems (MIS) Input-output and results monitoring would be supported by a web-enabled computerized MIS which would be an integral part of the M&E system, wherever necessary integrated into the overall WDD MIS systems. Support in this area would cover i) initial assessment of management information requirements and potential for ICT automation; ii) software development; iii) customization; iv) field testing and system rolling out; and v) sustained technical support for maintenance, including further adaptation and refinement. Participatory monitoring and evaluation Participatory M&E (PME) tools will be developed and used extensively at Executive Committee, Panchayat and User group levels for sensitization, capacity building, planning and self-assessment of institutional capabilities, depending on stage of institutional maturity. Watershed assistants will be brought on board to the tools. Suggested methods include self-scoring by Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and District team facilitated institutional assessment. Results of self-scoring exercises will be integrated within the project MIS and indices developed for assessment of institutional maturity. Thematic studies and case-studies The need for thematic studies will emerge from the findings of the process monitoring and external quality monitoring as the project progresses. Specialized agencies with expertise in the fields to be studied will be invited for planning and conduct of these studies. The studies

  

125

will generally be evaluative in nature, but may also capture good practices of the project. In addition, the project will proactively undertake documentation of processes, case-studies, best practices and lessons learnt from project experience. Documentation will be for internal learning as well as for disseminating project experiences to other stakeholders; it will be a continuing process throughout the project duration and across all the project personnel. Impact Evaluation The objective of Impact Evaluation will be to establish the net contribution of the project to the sustainable livelihoods of the targeted families. As necessitated by the nature of the project outcomes and impacts, an appropriate mix of quantitative and qualitative methods will be adopted for the evaluations.

Action learning, documentation and reflection Internal learning is crucial for the project to be responsive to the changing context of the project as it progresses. The effectiveness of internal learning will depend upon the degree of institutionalization of learning among the various levels of project organization and the community. A considerable part of learning will take place through a structured set of participatory workshops associated with quarterly and annual review and planning, at local, district and State level.

5.1 GRIEVANCES REDRESSAL

Karnataka government has adopted a policy to speedily and effectively address public grievances, G.O.No. DPAR 21 AMC 83, dt. 1.7.1983 prescribed modalities. A dedicated Public Grievances cell is constituted at the government level for addressing the grievances of the public at the earliest. This cell is under the control of DPAR. On receipt of the grievances, the concerned departments will make investigations. The action taken will be intimated to the applicant. Deputy Commissioner in districts through respective district departments are responsible for investigating and taking remedial actions on the grievances at the district level.

The applications will be received at multiple levels (HO/District/Government). The applications / grievances received at state level will be sent to the concerned district DWDO offices to get it investigated. The action taken will be centrally monitored at state level.

All the application / grievance received will be investigated at the district by respective DWDO. The compliance is reported through the Deputy Commissioner and also head of the department (Commissioner, WDD) to the state grievance redressed cell in DPAR with in 10th of every month.

Monthly grievance redressal progress report will be complied at district level & rendered to the Deputy Commissioner as well as commissioner WDD. The Commissioner WDD will also compile state level WDD progress report & submit to the DPAR Cell. Additional Director (Admin) in WDD will be responsible for this process. Pending applications if any at the end of each month will be monitored and suitable action initiated in the following months. The above mechanism will be followed for grievances redressal under the project.

Need for Land Resource Inventory Karnataka is the eighth largest state in India with an area of 19.17 m ha. It is endowed with varied climate, fauna and flora, soils, forests, bounty of minerals and many rivers. These resources enriching the social fabric of the state need to be conserved, protected and improved. But of late the limited cultivable land area of about 12 m ha in the state is under severe strain due to population pressure and competing demands of various land uses. According to various agency reports Land degradation has affected about 7.7 m ha (40 % of the TGA) Wastelands occur in about 2. 0 m ha (11 % of TGA) Over-exploitation of groundwater and consequent drying up of bore wells in all districts. Significant shift in the land-use pattern and diversion of prime lands to non-agricultural uses Declining productivity reported for most of the crops in both rainfed and irrigated agriculture. Salinity alkalinity has affected about 10 per cent of the total irrigated lands It is obvious that the neglect and deterioration of the land resources and consequent decline in the productivity is continuing without much effective intervention in the state. The situation is expected to worsen in the future and warrants urgent correction. This requires situation analysis and assessment to come out with remedial solutions. The challenge is not only to increase the productivity per unit area, which is steadily declining and showing a fatigue syndrome, but also to prevent or at least reduce the severity of the degradation, which has reached alarming proportions. The situation needs immediate attention of all the stakeholders, from policy makers to farmers, particularly involved in the management of vast stretches of rainfed areas in the state. The root cause for the degradation, neglect and irrational use of land resources lies at the grassroots or farm level. In the above background any initiative to address these issues should also rightly start at the farm/village/watershed level only. This needs detailed farm/cadastral level information on soil, water, land use and other resources. Land Resource Inventorisation (Modern Soil Survey) on large scale (1:7920 scale) provides the information required for planning, executing and monitoring of all land-based activities at the farm or watershed level in the state.

Before commencing the Land Resource Inventory at watershed level stakeholder workshops and education process will be organised as part of PRA by the IWMP, NGOs and WDT with active collaboration of various CBOs to be constituted by the PMKSY-IWMP NGOs. Suitable audio-visual aids will be developed by the NBSS&LUP for this purpose.

Prime Minister Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)

The major objective of PMKSY is to achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level, expand cultivable area under assured irrigation, improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage of water, enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per drop), enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices by exploring the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture and attract greater private investment in precision irrigation system.

PMKSY has been conceived by amalgamating ongoing schemes viz. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) of the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR, RD&GR), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) of Department of Land Resources (DoLR) and the On Farm Water Management (OFWM) of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC). The scheme will be implemented by Ministries of Agriculture, Water Resources and Rural Development. Ministry of Rural Development is to mainly undertake rain water conservation, construction of farm pond, water harvesting structures, small check dams and contour bunding etc. MoWR, RD &GR is to undertake various measures for creation of assured irrigation source, construction of diversion canals, field channels, water diversion/lift irrigation, including development of water distribution systems. Ministry of Agriculture will promote efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips, sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm “(Jal Sinchan)”, construction of micro-irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities, extension activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures Programme architecture of PMKSY will be to adopt a ‘decentralized State level planning and projectised execution’ structure that will allow States to draw up their own irrigation development plans based on District Irrigation Plan (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP). It will be operative as convergence platform for all water sector activities including drinking water & sanitation, MGNREGA, application of science & technology etc. through comprehensive plan. State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) chaired by the Chief Secretary of the State will be vested with the authority to oversee its implementation and sanction projects. The programme will be supervised and monitored by an Inter-Ministerial National Steering Committee (NSC), which will be constituted under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister with Union Ministers from concerned Ministries. A National Executive Committee (NEC) will be constituted under the Chairmanship of Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog to oversee programme implementation, allocation of resources, inter ministerial coordination, monitoring & performance assessment, addressing administrative issues etc.

Components of PMKSY under watershed

PMKSY (Watershed) by Dept. of Land Resources, MoRD • Water harvesting structures such as check dams, nala bund, farm ponds, tanks etc. • Capacity building, entry point activities, ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment,

soil and moisture conservation, nursery raising, afforestation, horticulture, pasture development, livelihood activities for the asset-less persons and production system & micro enterprises for small and marginal farmers etc.

• Effective rainfall management like field bunding, contour bunding/trenching, staggered trenching, land levelling, mulching etc.

 

PMKSY(Per drop more crop) by Dept. of Agriculture & Cooperation, MoA • Programme management, preparation of State/District Irrigation Plan, approval of

annual action plan, Monitoring etc.

• Promoting efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips, sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm (Jal Sinchan);

• Topping up of input cost particularly under civil construction beyond permissible limit (40%), under MGNREGS activities like lining inlet, outlet, silt traps, distribution etc.

• 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 PMKSY (WR), PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS.

• 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;

• Water lifting devices like diesel/ electric/ solar pump sets including water carriage pipes.

• 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);

• Capacity building, training for encouraging potential use water source through technological, agronomic and management practices including community irrigation.

• Awareness campaign on water saving technologies, practices, programmes etc., organisation of workshops, conferences, publication of booklets, pamphlets, success stories, documentary, advertisements etc.

• Improved/innovative distribution system like pipe and box outlet system with controlled outlet and other activities of enhancing water use efficiency.

• District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) shall be the cornerstone for planning and implementation of PMKSY. DIPs will identify the gaps in irrigation infrastructure after taking into consideration the District Agriculture Plans (DAPs) already prepared for Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) vis-à-vis irrigation infrastructure

  

139

currently available and resources that would be added during XII Plan from other ongoing schemes (both State and Central), like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme(MGNREGS), Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (RKVY), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) Scheme, Member of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development (MLALAD) Scheme, Local body funds etc. The gaps indentified under Strategic Research & Extension Plan (SREGP) will be made use in preparation of DIP.

• DIPs will present holistic irrigation development perspective of the district outlining medium to long term development plans integrating three components viz. water sources, distribution network and water use applications incorporating all usage of water like drinking & domestic use, irrigation and industry. Preparation of DIP will be taken up as joint exercise of all participating departments. DIP will form the compendium of all existing and proposed water resource network system in the district.

• The DIPs may be prepared at two levels, the block and the district. Keeping in view the convenience of map preparation and data collection, the work would be primarily done at block level. Block wise irrigation plan is to be prepared depending on the available and potential water resources and water requirement for agriculture sector prioritising the activities based on socio-economic and location specific requirement. In case of planning is made based on basin/sub basin level, the comprehensive irrigation plan may cover more than one district. The activities identified in the basin/sub-basin plan can be further segregated into district/block level action plans. Use of satellite imagery, topo sheets and available database may be appropriately utilised for developing irrigation plans at least on pilot basis to begin with and subsequently may be extended to all projects.

Annexure - V Decision Support System

In the context of watershed management, DSS can be framed by coupling multiple data layers (soils, surface and groundwater, crops, technology, market, farmers’ resources, knowledge and skills, weather etc.) which can be seamlessly integrated to make most scientific and practical decisions on problems in farming, and manage resources for maximum benefit. The development of WMDSS would be done in three defined phases. Phase I: Acquisition of Pre-requisites for development of WMDSS A team of Consortium partners of the project will make an initial investigation and describe the problem at hand, the resources available and the data issue. After rigorous inventory of the needs and constraints, the team will identify DSS models to be developed as per the needs of the end user interest from policy maker to the farmer. Inventory

• Identify the actors involved in the decision and explore the social context • Understand the institutional and normative context • Identify possible constraints • Arouse user’s interest and initial commitment • Identify and clearly communicate reasonable expectations • Decide whether or not a DSS model may be useful for the purposes of the case

Phase II: Development of WMDSS tool The System Requirement Specifications (SRS) will be drawn from the inventory report from all the consortium partners. The workflows / protocols will be developed for programming the DSS modules. State-of-the-art industrial standard developmental tools / programming languages will be made use in all stages of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) for developing WMDSS tools and modules. Initially the tool will be developed on pilot basis; after thorough testing the same will be scaled up to the requirement level. Individual modules will be interactively tested and output will be verified with the end user to know the potentiality of the modules. In all the development stages of WMDSS, care will be taken to consider the end user prospects.

• Involve end users in the DSS development throughout the process • Define a clear strategy and work programme and include quality assurance • Adopt tool to the user’s needs • Assure flexibility and interoperability

Phase III: Implementation of WMDSS

• Before operationalising WMDSS on a large scale, operational training on pilot basis will be given to the resource persons and identified end users to make sure that the DSS shall be made user-friendly. A rigorous extension activity will be made by the SAU’s and UHS for transferring the technology and its benefits to the end users / stakeholders under their jurisdiction.

• Provide coherent methodological framework in which the DSS tool should operate

  

141

• Provide effective documentation of the outputs / results that can be obtained • Provide adequate documentation and support materials for using DSS • Train users • Exploit the full potential of the tool in supporting the whole process • Provide the basis for maintenance and further development • Adopt strategies for dissemination and technology transfer • The web based WM-DSS should be capable of Integrating Spatial and Non-spatial

data and should fetch the result based on the query / search. • The application should identify authorized users • Display Maps and other data sets (Say Watershed boundary, Village boundaries with

census data, Land use map, soil map etc.) • Allow users to select / assign parameters required for prioritization • Show unified view of Land Use, Prioritized watershed and various other thematic

layers as selected by the user. • Web page should have the provision to switch over to local languages like Kannada

and others as per the need of the region • The application should be made accessible to unlimited number of users concurrently

over the Web/Internet/Intranet • Facilitate Seamless flow of information and the data capable of generating Reports.

Detailed Project Report and Preparation of Net Plan in PMKSY-IWMP

The project aims to demonstrate the viability of community based approach for improvement of rainfed areas on watershed basis and economic improvement to asset-less and vulnerable groups, where the department plays a facilitating role. The components of the project envisage an active participation of the different community members living in the village. With a view to strengthening and sustaining the participation of the community, the programme provides for formation of Community Based Organizations (EC, UGs and SHGs) execution of Entry Point Activities, Awareness generation programmes and Capacity Building to different stakeholder groups.

Stepwise approach is designed to bring awareness among the community and to change their mind set with respect to planning and implementation of works to develop their lands and surroundings to re-establish the ecological balance so that the natural resources provide the required goods and services on a continuing basis. Step.1 : Organizing awareness building programmes in the project area in a language that

will be understood by the entire community using and dedicated NGOs experienced in the field.

Step.2 : As a second step, discussions will be held with the Local Institution (GP) members as well as the community at large to identify any long-felt needs that require immediate attention so as to benefit them. These activities/works are prioritized in terms of benefits and undertaken by the WDT. This leads to building rapport with the community and also creates confidence in them that the programme is real. In the process, the objectives of the project and roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders are brought to their notice through informal discussions.

Step.3 : As a third step, after noticing that the mood of the community is towards taking up the project, CBOs such as SHGs, UGs and ECs are formed under each project cutting across socio-economic barriers for promoting equity and inclusiveness. These groups are trained at different levels of the project for enabling them to organize, implement and monitor the activities under the project.

Step.4 : PRA exercise is organized by preparing a social map of the village/project to assess the maladies and likely remedial measures required to overcome and develop control over the situation.

Step.5 : At each project level a workshop cum training is arranged for all the department staff along with the EC members on the process of net planning.

Step.6 : Required GIS maps are prepared well in advance and are supplied to each of team.

Step.7 : At each project level 2 to 3 teams are formed with WDT along with NGO staff. These teams along with EC members will conduct transect walks. During the transect walk required interventions are identified on individual farmers’ field in consultation with concerned farmer and in common lands with consideration of

  

143

the technical feasibility. Technically this process is known as “Net planning”. The net planning is conducted in the project area starting from upper reaches to lower reaches covering private land, common land and drainage line area.

Step.8 After collecting the information as indicated above, it will be computerized into customized software developed in-house by the department. This software helps in collating the data at ease and simplifies the process of consolidating huge quantity of data generated during net planning. It helps in analyzing the action plans for sector wise allocations, equity analysis, and investment across reaches, etc. Different output formats will be generated as per requirements.

Step.9 After the completion of the net planning, complete information on the identified interventions will be shared with the community through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercise.

Step.10 The information generated during the net planning will be put forth before the Executive committee in the form of Action plan for approval. Once approved by the EC, same will be presented to the Grama Panchayat for its approval. This action plan will then be forwarded to the district technical committee headed by the JDA for technical approval. Finally DPR will be prepared and submitted to District Level Committee (DLC) Chaired by Chief Executive officer of Zilla Panchayat and the members are from all the development departments for final approval.

Restructured - Results Framework and Monitoring (Aide memoire Nov, 2016)

The revised results framework consists of three PDO indicators and ten Intermediate Result indicators, for a total of thirteen indicators in all. The number of indicators was reduced from the previous version of the results framework, with the intent of making the monitoring more feasible and focused. An effort was also made to ensure that each indicator was meaningful yet clear, and relatively easy to measure. The methods to be used will be mainly simple quantitative measurement or brief qualitative surveys of beneficiaries and other state-level departments. With two years remaining for the project to achieve its intended results, the data for most of the indicators will be collected and analyzed at the end of the project. The responsibility for monitoring and reporting will lie largely with the WDD, though a third-party agency, the Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation (IISWC), will assist it with M&E. The IISWC together with other institutional partners have been contracted to develop specific methodologies to assess the processes and outcomes of the project, and these, according to a draft plan of them submitted, align well with the revised results framework for KWDP II.
