1.2
BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT :
Umrangnalla (IWMP : Dima Hasao - 2 / 10-11) project is situated in New Sangbar
Development Block of Umrangso Revenue Circle of Dima Hasao District of Assam.
Dima Hasao is one of the two hills district of Assam in the North Eastern Region. It
was a part of Cachar district till the formation of United N.C.Hills & Mikir Hills
districts in 1951. The Constitution of India gave it the status of an autonomous
district. The Dima Hasao Autonomous District Council (D.H.A.C.) was constituted
under the provisions of the sixth schedule to the Constitution of India to administer
this autonomous district. In 1970 N.C.Hills was separated from the United N.C.Hills
& Mikir Hills & declared a full fledged district. North Cachar Hills Autonomous
Council has three wings of administration, viz., Legislature, Judiciary, and Executive.
Apart from the subjects enshrined in the sixth schedule, the Govt. of Assam have
transferred almost all the departments along with the executive power to the Council
except General Administration, Police, Treasury, election and judiciary.
North Cachar comprises of two sub- divisions viz Haflong and Maibang . There are
two Revenue Circles, viz. Haflong and Maibang. In order to provide better
developmental facilities, the district has been divided into five Community
Development Blocks –
Jatinga Valley Development Block,
Diyung Valley
Development Block, Harangajao ITD Block, Diyungbra ITD Block and New Sangbar
Development Block. For better administrative control, the district area is divided into
four Police stations viz. Haflong, Mahur, Mabang and Umrangso. The district has got
695 census villages, viz. 201 in Umrangso; 156 in Halflong; 135 in Mahur; and, 203
in Mibang Revenue Circle respectively.
The Dima Hasao District is situated at southern part of Assam & is bounded by
Nagaland & Manipur state in the east, Cachar district of Assam in the south,
Meghalaya state & the part of Karbi-Anglong district in the west & another part of
Karbi-Anglong & Nagaon district in the north.The Latitude of the District is 25o 3/ N
and 25o 47/ N and the Longitude is 92o 37/ E and 93o 17/ E. The major portion of
the district is covered by hills. The main range is Borail of which " Thumjang" is the
highest peak at 1866 meters & Hempeupet is the 2nd highest peak at 1748 meters.
The other main range is Khartheng range from Dittokcherra to Garampani .
The main
rivers are
Kapili,
Dehangi,
Diyung,
Jatinga,
Jenam,
Mahur,
Langting etc, of these Diyung river is the longest river having the length of 240
k.m. Almost all rivers originate from Borail. Rainfall is heavy during the months from
May to September, but it is not evenly distributed throughout the district.
Climate condition is also not uniform. Rainfall in Borail range is heaviest. Annual
average in this range varies from 2200 mm to 2700 mm while in the LangtingManderdisa-Diyungmukh area it receives much less rain ( i.e., from 1200 mm. to
1800 mm.).
Dima Hasao District is the most hilly and undulated districts of Assam. It has an area
of 4890 sq. k.m., which is about 6.25 % of the total area of the state. Most places of
the district has got transportation bottle necking. Development schemes of various
Govt.departments are yet to reach major part of the district. Many villages of the
district are not having the basic amenities viz. primary schools, medical aid through
primary health center, electrification, safe drinking water supply, sanitation facility
etc. Road is one of the basic means of transport which requires to be developed in the
Dima Hasao District with top most priority. Though Halflong, the Head Quarter town
of the district is connected by both Road and Rail with the State Capital,
communication is very uncertain because of land slide, inclement weather etc.
According to the 2011 census, Dima Hasao District has a population of 2,13,529 and
thus the district has a population density of 44 inhabitants per square kilometer. Out
of this total population, 152302 are rural population, giving a Urban to Rural rtatio of
28.67 : 71.33
Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 18.39% in
rural area and 3.02 % in Urban area, giving a average growth rate of 14.68%.for the
District. As per the latest census, Dima Hasao has a sex ratio of 956 females for every
1000 males, and a literacy rate of 67.25% for the entire District, whereas, 43.5 % for
rural areas.
Dima Hasao District is a land of
sensuousness. The population of the
district comprises of various tribes &
races who maintain their own dialect,
culture, customs & usages. Apart from
various tribes, non-tribals also account
for a sizable amount of the population.
They are mostly government employees, traders, graziers living in urban & semiurban area. The small and serene villages shelter the lovely people – warm and
fascinating – and as colourful as the land itself. Among the various tribes, the
prominent ones are: Dimsa, Heme, Hmar, Kuki, Biate, Hrangkhol.
Adoringly described by the visitors as 'Switzerland of the East', the Dima Hasao
District( formerly)North Cachar Hills is a district garlanded by hills. This dreamland
of north-east is an unending saga of undulating hills and valleys, gently flowing
streams and waterfalls, where the very breeze that wafts across the paddy
fields and the bamboo forests is redolent with the fragrance of the land in which man
and animal live in perfect harmony with nature. A fascinating mosaic of ethnic,
cultural and tribal mix, the people of N.C.Hills embody in their lives all the values
derived from centuries of shared living on the lap of nature. Equally enticing is the
flora and fauna of the land, which has the famed Jatinga village famous for the
phenomenon of birds “committing suicide”, is located on a spur of the Haflong ridge,
the head quarter of the district, drawn
by some mysterious alchemy of earth
and sky, disoriented birds come in
thousands in the cloudy months of
September and October to a flaming
tryst with the dinger. During these late
monsoon months, mysterious behavior
Birds commiting suicide at Jatinga
of birds takes place. However, some
other conditions are also necessary for
the phenomenon to occur. The air must be foggy, cloudy or misty. If there is slight
rain, it would be even better. The wind must be from south to north. It should be
moonless dark nights. And the best time is between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Economic scenario of Dima Hasao District is not very encouraging. It is
predominantly a forest area and agricultural practices of paddy cultivation are done on
jhuming cultivation system in dry hilly land in the plain terrain areas depending
mainly on rainfall which is also irregular. Geographical remoteness coupled with poor
communication, as well as infra-structural facilities are the main factors behind the
low level of development. However, in spite of the gloomy scenario, prospects of
Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry are bright. Entire rural people of the district are
dependent upon Agriculture. Agriculture in the district mainly depends upon the
rainfall. The normal rainfall of the district is 2000 mm. A distinctive feature as
regards to agricultural practices of the tribal people in the district is jhumming which
is the traditional way of their life. This is in fact a shifting process of cultivation in
cycles. About 70% of the total cultivated area is jhumming area. This cultivation is
done in Autumn season either as a single crop or sometimes as mixed crop along with
Maize,
Ginger,
Turmeric,
Chillies
and
Vegetables etc. Winter paddy cultivation in flat
lands mostly in river valleys is done only in
Rabi season. The net area irrigated under net
area sown is 6% that is much below the state’s
average.
Livestock and Poultry occupy an
important place in the rural economy. Buffalo,
pig etc are the most common livestock animals
while hen and duck comprise the poultry birds.
Dairying and rearing of cow and buffalo is a
common place practice of the tribal population.
There are four Cement Plants in this district. Also, NEEPCO has established “Kopili
Hydel Project” at Umrangso which produces sizable quantity of electricity. Apart
from these, weaving is also considered to be a household industry in this district.
Large areas have been covered by Eri & Mulbarry farm. Assam Hill Small Industrial
Development Corporation has established a fruit preservation unit at Jatinga.
Limestone and coal in small quantity are found in the neighborhood of Garampani
i.e. from Khorangma to Gorampani. Carbonaceous shale is available in Baga area.
Good quality of limestone, low in magnesia and suitable for cement manufacturing is
also available.
It is crystal clear that while employment in agriculture is increased the contribution to
district income is decreasing leading to under employment and low paid employment.
Economic condition of the common people of the district is not encouraging.
Majority of them being below the poverty limit. Per capita income is low when
compared to state per capita income which is due to low productivity in agriculture
and unemployment and under employments.
For general development of the area including livelihood generation for the common
people, Govt. of Assam has entrusted us for preparing the DPRs for 2 (Two)
integrated watershed management developments in Dima Hasao district 2010-11
(2/10-11 and 3/10-11). Umrangnalla IWMP is one of these 2 projects. Umrangnalla
project is a cluster of four micro watersheds with 3B2C3d2h; 3B2C3d2g; 3B2C3d2c;
and, 3B2C3d2f being their respective codes.
1.4 NEED AND SCOPE FOR WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT:
Watershed Development programme is prioritized on the basis of 13 parameters
mainly poverty index, percentage of SC/ST, actual wages, percentage of small and
marginal farmers, ground water status, moisture index, area under rain fed agriculture,
drinking water situation in the area, percentage of the degraded land, productivity
potential of the land, continuity of another watershed that have already developed
/treated, cluster approach for plain or for hilly terrain. With above criteria, weight age
for selection of watershed as per DoLR guideline is listed in next page :
Based on these 13 parameters for selection criteria and based on findings of the
PRA activity including house hold survey conducted in the project villages, a
composite ranking was given to Umrang Nalla watershed Management Project as
given in Table No. 1.2 next.

BASE LINE INFORMATION OF WATERSHED
To access the impact of any watershed development programme a detailed baseline
survey has to be conducted. This acts a benchmark for any intervention during and
post implementation of any development programme.
PRA activities were made for the purpose including undertaking detailed baseline
survey, which involved household census survey, Bio-physical survey and Village
level data collection for the Umrangnalla IWMP comprising of 8 villages. Household
census survey includes a detailed questionnaire which was been filled by visiting each
and every household in the villages, which gives us the details of the demographic
profile of the villages, the literacy percentages, SC/ST population, number of BPL
households, cattle population, average milk production of the cattle and various
schemes running and their benefits.
Bio-physical survey was undertaken to identify various natural resources available in
the villages. It included the soil typology, well in the area, crop taken in the field,
cropping pattern, sources of irrigation (if any) in the field.
The findings of such Base Line Surveys are presented in subsequent tables.

4. OBJECTIVE OF THE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROJECT:
Land is a critically important natural resource in which all human activity is based. Its
efficient management is vital for economic growth and development of rural areas to
harness the full potential of the available and land resource and prevent its further
degradation, development of rain fed area. Its management is complex and multi
dimensional and its development requires scientific, holistic and innovative approach.
Unprecedented population and cattle, pressure and demands of society on scarce land,
water and biological resources and the ever increasing degradation of these resources
is affecting the stability and resilience of our eco system and the environment as a
whole. The expansion of the human settlement and infrastructure, intensification of
agriculture, expansion of agriculture into marginal areas and fragile eco system
emphasizes the need for integrated planning and management of resources.
With ever increasing population, the needs of the people is also ever increasing. The
population of Karbi Anglong has grown by 18.99 % over the last decade which results
in increasing demand for commodities and lack of work for both the urban and rural
population. Most of the rural population depends on shifting cultivation for their
livelihood. Shifting cultivation is practiced by cleanings forest areas. The previous
years Jhum land is kept fallow for 5-6 years depending on the area available for
cultivation for each village.
Shafting cultivation results in burning of large areas of forest including those that are
not required for cultivation, thereby destroying forest cover, Due to less cover on top
soil surface runoff increases to maximum, thereby decreasing the percolation /
infiltration to deeper layer of soil, resulting in lowering of ground water resources and
loss of top fertile soil. If the situation prevails like this, natural streams may be dried
up during winter periods and in some cases even permanently.
The thinning of forest cover to earth decreases the moisture content of the soil making
it unsuitable for plantation of trees and crops. Because of less forest, temperature of
the area also increases considerably. If the situation continues like this for long term,
the once fertile land may convert to desert like places.
In order to arrest such degradation of land, and to increase the livelihood of the
common people there, this Integrated Watershed management program has been taken
up. The main objective of the project shall be as listed below.

Developing water, land/ degraded land and abandoned jhum land on watershed
basi, keeping in view the capacity of land, local condition and needs.

Promoting overall economic development and improving Socio-economic
condition of the poor and disadvantaged section inhabiting the project area.

Restoring ecological balance by restoring and conserving the natural resources,
ie., land, water and vegetative cover.

Educating and encouraging the inhabitants of the project for sustainable
community action for operation and maintenance of assets created under this
project and further development of the natural resource potential in the project
area.

Employment generation, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and
development of human and other economic resources of the project area villages.
Watershed Management works shall be taken up in multi tire approaches as described
below:
4.1 FIRST TIRE : CANOPY / RIDGE AREA TREATMENT :
A) Stoppage of shifting cultivation: Under IWMP, farmers shall be encouraged to
practice permanent farming in compact areas. All the areas degraded earlier by
means of jhum cultivation shall have to be developed either for natural vegetation
growth or shall have to be converted to permanent cultivation field.
B) Afforestation: Besides the natural forest areas, afforestation are to made in more
areas more areas. This will result in minimizing the surface runoff and increasing
infiltration.
C) Prevention of Soil erosion/ loss :
considerable amount of top fertile soil are
being washed out every year due to excessive surface runoff due to non vegetative
cover there, which makes the soil un suitable for further cultivation. To prevent
further soil erosion, construction of terraces, afforestation and other means are to
be taken up.
4.2 SECOND TIRE : HORTICULTURE CROP AREA TREATMENT :
A) Construction of water harvesting structure and optimal use of water
resources: Whatever the rainfall we are getting, if we develop proper water
harvesting structure, water resource shall be enough for every households. The
harvested water can be used before human consumption as well as for irrigation
purpose.
B) Land Development: The areas shall have to planned and development in such a
way that the productivity will increase. The areas proposed for afforestation shall
be developed by making terraces, which will result in increased infiltration &
reduced runoff. Based on the topography of the treatment area where permanent
cultivation shall be practiced, terracing, bench terracing and contour bund shall be
constructed. Cultivation of commercial crops will be practiced in such areas and if
needed irrigation facility shall have to be provided.
C) Gestation period treatment: The permanent horticulture crops planted in the 2 nd.
Tire area shall be mostly orange, pineapple, lemon, mango etc. and other cash
crops. These crops will be harvested only after three to four years after plantation.
During this gestation period, the cultivators shall be encouraged and facilitate to
introduce annual cash crops to meet their daily weeks.
4.3 THIRD TIRE : AGRICULTURE CROP AREA TREATMENT :
A) Wet Rice cultivation and mixed farming: In places of permanent cultivation,
the land will be prepared in such a way that crop rotation can be done for 2 to 3
crops in a year. This is not possible with the natural fertility of the soil and
external fertilizer shall have to be added. Instead of artificial / organic manure,
organic manure is always desirable. Therefore, provisions shall have to made so
that the farmers / cultivators can raise their domestic animal, and can use the
animal excrete as manure.
B) Multiple cropping: on having good amount of irrigation facility and organic
manure, the farmers shall be encouraged for different varities of crop depending
on the season; even during winter/dry season cultivation can be done.
4.4 RURAL – URBAN MIGRATION :
Due to lack of employment avenues in rural area, for earning lively hood and for
various other reasons, people are migrating from rural are to urban areas. Due to large
influx, urban areas are also having deficit work load, resulted in increasing poverty
and creation of problem for rehabilitating such migrated people in rural areas. On
completion of the watershed development, it is expected that such rural to urban
migration shall be reduced to great extant as every person of the project villages shall
have assured income.
4.5 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT :
For an overall development of any community active participation of the women is
essential. For a social set up like ours, ie. Patriarchal family system, the participation
of the women in development process has to be ensured through tangible measures at
various levels which shall be resulted in empowering the women in real sense. Time
spent by the woman folk in collecting drinking water, fire wood etc. shall be reduced
and thereby giving a positive impact on the quality of life and health of the family,
specially of the children.
4.6 PROVISION OF LIVEIHOOD FOR ASSEST LESS FAMILIES :
The asset less families should be provided with micro entrepreneurship by imparting
training and assisting them to take up those activities identified in the project.
Livestock farming, handicraft, mechanics, black smithy, petty tread etc. shall be
encouraged for this asset less fraction of the community. Necessary financial and
technical support shall be provided from the project fund.
4.7 CREATION OF ASSETS :
As a downstream benefit from this project, plans are made to provide durable assets to
the rural population, which shall be handed over to the public after completion of the
project and these shall last long even after completion of this project. After the project
is completed, it shall be the responsibility of the beneficiary to manage, repair,
renovation & augmentation of such property. A nominal charge shall be collected for
these created assets, which along with the WDF shall be used for maintaining the
same without any Government help.
4.8 CONVERGENCE WITH OTHER PROGRAMMES :
Provision for convergence with other programmes of both Central & State Govt. shall
be kept open for the project area as well as for the beneficiaries and end-users. Such
programs shall be those, which needs large capital investment as well as more time of
implementation and are not convenient for taking up from IWMP fund. Beneficiaries
shall be encouraged to utilize such fund received by them from other sources for
enhancing their activity in the project area. However, parallel funding for same
activity in the project area shall be accounted separately to avoid duplicity in utilizing
the fund.
4.9 CONNECTIVITY OF THE PROJECT AREA :
Connectivity with easy transportation facility is one of the basic needs for
development of any area. Firstly, a good transportation system enhances work done
per person per day as the travel time from residence to work site gets reduced.
Secondly, for marketing and export of the product of the project area become
convenient with good connectivity of the area with other places. Connectivity also
ensures better monitoring, supervision and implementation of works. Provision of
connectivity should be done under the existing MG-ENREGA or other Govt Schemes.
CHAPTER – 5
5. PARTICIPATORY RURAL APPRAISAL (PRA) :
For any community development programme it is unavoidable to focus on creating
accountability of the stakeholders towards the programme. This will created an
emphasis to include all the stakeholders’ communities and their local and Indigenous
Technological Knowledge while planning for any activity. Participatory approach
provides a new path for planning, implementing, monitoring and post withdrawal
activities with a complete accountability of the stakeholders. Various PRA techniques
like resource mapping, social mapping etc. were used to understand the physical and
social orientation of the village in general and watershed in specific. These tools put
the villagers in easy & user friendly questionnaire than a complicated one to get the
proper data inputs from them. The general information obtained from this PRA
activity are:

There is no banking and other
infrastructural facility available in the
vicinity of the project area.
During the PRA exercise, the village community of the project area was made to
understand that for soil and water conservation and eventually for poverty alleviation,
the following are to be taken up under this IWMP.

Conservation of water and moisture for domestic use as well as for irrigation
purposes.

Land development for horticulture and agriculture.

Afforestation and regeneration of village community land.

Development & construction of link road to each potential area to ease
transportation.

Construction of market facility

Training and capacity building for rural artisans and their sponsorship to
various institutions for up gradation of skills.
CHAPTER – 6
6.1 PREPARATORY PHASE :
Entry Point Activity (EPA) are taken up under watershed projects to build a rapport
with the village community at the beginning of the project; generally, certain
important works which are in urgent demand of the local community are taken up. An
amount of Rs. 23.70 Lakh is earmarked for EPA activity, which is 4 per cent of total
allocated budget of Rs. 592.50 lakh for Umrangnalla IWMP. The villagers discussed
various activities which they felt is important but after a brief discussion it was
conveyed to them that only those activities can be taken, which revive the common
natural resources. It was also taken into priority that there should be an instrument of
convergence which will result in sustainability of activities.
The Entry Point Activity (EPA) proposed for the Project are tabulated in next page.
CHAPTER – 7
7. CAPACITY BUILDING:
Capacity Building is the process of assisting the group or individuals to identify and
address issues and gain the insights, knowledge and experience needed to solve
problems and implement change. There is a realization in the development sector that
there is a need to appraise the success of development interventions by going beyond
the conventional development targets and measures of success (e.g. in the form of
commodities, goods and services) to take into account improvements to human
potential. Capacity building of stakeholders is also increasingly viewed as an
important factor in developmental projects that involve participation of stakeholders
at all levels for effective implementation of projects. The scope of capacity building,
in general, is:










Alternative Land Use Plan
Scientific technique of Soil and Moisture conservation
Improved and Scientific agriculture practices
Fodder development and Management
Afforestation
Meteorological Information
Income Generation Activities
Micro entrepreneurship
Food Processing
Post Harvest management practices
For the propose IWMP, the following capacity building plan are proposed to be taken
up.
CHAPTER – 12

CONSOLIDATION AND EXIT STRATEGY
12.1
CONVERGENCE OF ACTIVITIES OF DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENTS/AGENCIES :
Field experience has shown that such a convergence can be achieved effectively if
there are SHG, UG and there is a management body of these groups (WC) to provide
a platform for convergence of schemes/ activities of different development
departments. Hence the above groups under the watershed programme may be utilized
for convergence of individual oriented as well as community oriented schemes
available with the departments. Regular inter-face of extension functionaries of line
Departments with the watershed community during implementation phase will ensure
convergence and permanent linkages.
12.2
POST-PROJECT EXPENDITURE OF LEFT OVER AMOUNT:
Although the project funds would have been utilized within the project period, these
can be spent by the Watershed Committee for a period of six months beyond the
closing date of the project. The funds can be used for development works. However,
they shall not be used for administrative aspects beyond the closing date of the
project. Any savings will be transferred to the development component.
12.3
POST PROJECT MAINTENANCE OF COMMUNITY ASSETS:
Under the watershed various community assets are created such as water harvesting
structures, plantations on common lands, fish ponds etc. During implementation phase
peoples contribution being collected for private works and community works and
deposited under watershed development fund would be used for post project
maintenance. The following specific steps/guidelines may be adopted for maintaining
the community assets after completion of the project.
All community assets created under the project would be formally transferred to the
Village for its operation and maintenance. The community assets would be divided in
to two categories (i) those which are to be used by the same families on a regular
basis and (ii) those which are annually auctioned. The Gram sabha shall have the right
to decide the service charges to be collected from beneficiaries associated with first
category of structures and also collect the amount through auction regarding use of
assets under second category of structures. The amount from both the sources shall be
deposited under Watershed Development Fund (WDF) account in the nature of
Revolving fund. The watershed committee will maintain these community structures
by using the money in the watershed Development fund. In case of structures under
category -1 WC shall meet 25 percent of the cost from WDF. The remaining 75
percent will be borne by the beneficiaries of these structures. In case of structures
under category -2 the entire cost towards repair/ maintenance may be borne out of
WDF subject to its availability. For carrying out the above requirements the
Watershed Committee may engage the services of a watershed secretary on regular or
part-time basis depending upon the need and financial resources available. The details
about income and Expenditure shall be presented in regular meetings of the Gram
sabha and put on the notice board of Panchayat on six months.
12.4
LINKAGES WITH CREDIT INSTITUTIONS:
During the Project life time the PIA and WDT will work to develop linkages with the
credit institutions such as the Regional Rural Banks, Cooperative Banks, etc. The
credit requirements of the watershed should get reflected in the District Credit Plan.
Credit requirement of treated watershed should from a regular agenda item in the
District Credit Coordination Committee, the State Level Coordination Committee as
well as at the National Committee. Credit would flow to constituents of the watershed
through: (i) credit for production activities as reflected in the watershed plan such as
short-term crop loans, medium-term loans for livelihood systems such as dairy
animals, etc., and (ii) credit support to Self Help Groups. Linkage with credit
institutions should be facilitated during the initial years of the project.
12.5
QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES:
12.5.1 Sustainability:
The projects under IWMP Scheme aim at sustainability in the long run. This is
achieved through the establishment of Watershed Development Fund which takes care
of past project maintenance and sustenance. This fund is meant to sustain the
maintenance of the assets created during the course of project implementation so that
the people in the watershed area continue to reap the benefits even after the
completion of the project.
Further, the village level institutions such as Watershed Association/Watershed
Committee remain in position even after the PIA withdraws from the project after its
completion. These institutions have intrinsic strength as they are self constituted and
lead by natural leaders in the villages.
The institutional arrangements envisaged in the guidelines ensure sustainability
through the following:

Constitution of watershed development fund.

Active people’s participation.

Involvement of Village Committee.

Involvement of self help groups, user groups, women & weaker sections.

Community needs taken care of.

Sustainable use of Water Resources.
12.5.2 Equity:

Constitution of self help group’s

Creation of revolving fund

Greater access to income generating opportunities

Sharing of benefits by community

Assets with weaker sections of population

More employment opportunities for landless and weaker section
12.5.2 End Results:

Improved productivity of wastelands

Improved availability of food crop and fodder

Increase in water table

Reduction in migration
 Improvement of livelihood of the people
CHAPTER – 13
13. EXPECTED OUTCOME
13.1
EMPLOYMENT:
Employment has always been a problem in the village. The principle occupations of
the people are dry land agriculture and casual labour work. However, due to lack of
irrigation facility etc., best they can take only a single crop, which keeps them
partially engaged for about 4 to 5 months. Thus the people mainly depend upon casual
labour either in the village itself or outside it. The Project plans for creation of both
wage employment and self employment would be created by engaging people in
watershed. Physical works like construction of earthen bunds, form ponds, village
ponds, plantation, etc. Self employment would be created by providing the people
with cash support in the form of direct livelihood activities like agriculture, animal
husbandry and enterprises development.
13.2
GROUND WATER TABLE:
Demand for ground water has been increasing all the time, but infiltration of rain
water to the ground is decreasing due to less vegetative cover and excess runoff. The
ground water table thus has depleted over the years. Presently it stands at 15 m.
Proper harvesting structures and percolation tanks would go long way in increasing
water table from 15 m in the Pre-Project level to 12 m in the Post-project level period.
13.3
DRINKING WATER:
Villages of the project area have got acute shortage of drinking water. The women
have to spent lot of time and effort for collecting drinking water from unprotected
spring sources far away from the villages. The water harvesting measures and water
retention measures to be taken up during this IWMP shall definitely improve the
drinking water availability for the community.
13.4
AGRICULTURE:
Agriculture primarily depends upon water and soil fertility. Irrigation facility is nil for
the area. All this can change with the integrated land and water management during
the watershed project. The prevailing practice of Jhum cultivation shall changed to
wet land cultivation. This will help in additional area coming under cultivation and
increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more than one season of crop.
Different varieties of crops can be taken.
13.5
LIVESTOCK:
Through proper training and awareness development programme, the villagers shall
be encouraged for live stock farming, poultry farming, piggery farming etc. This will
definitely improve the per capita income of the community.

Due to non vegetative
cover, direct sun light
also dried up the
moisture content of the
soil.
Practice of shifting

Due to loss of top

the

Problem Analysis
Due to lack of grazing
ground there are very
less no. of milch
animal in the project
area. There is lack of
technical knowhow for
animal management,
financial support and
infrastructure facility.
Except working as
agricultural
labour,
opportunity
for
employment is almost
nil at the project
villages. There are lack
of
creativeness,
training and financial
support
for
such
activity
The community is not
aware
of
the
importance of SHG.
There is no proper
capacity building and
awareness campaign.
Proposed
interventions to
overcome problems
Development of pasture
land
with
proper
management is needed
for livestock farming.
Arrangement
of
training programme is
needed
to
ensure
productivity.
Infrastructure facility
are also to be developed
for production and
marketing.
Different
type
of
training has to be
arranged and the village
community are to be
organized
to
form
SHGs.
Sensitization
programme has to be
taken up.
Capacity building will
be held at regulatr
intervals and mass
participation In such
programme is to be
ensured.

10. Connectivity of

11. Credit linkage
12. Training infrastructure

support.
Problem Analysis
There is lack of work
culture
among
community as because
they are not getting the
justified return for their
toil & sweat due to lack
of marketing of the
product.
There is lack of
connectivity and means
of transport
Due to lack of banking
facility in these remote
villages, credit linkage
and banking assistance
is out of reach for the
people of the project
area.
There is no such
training institution or
other
service
infrastructure available
in the project area.
Proposed interventions
to overcome problems
In order to change the
existing work culture,
comprehensive
plan
should be worked out to
ensure better profit &
return for their work. For
this marketing support
has to be extended and
sense of ownership has to
be developed. Every one
should be made to deliver
considerable effort for his
and his family’s self
sufficiency.
Connectivity has to be
improved for ease of
transportation
and
marketing of the product
form the project area.
Easy banking facility has
to be extended to these
areas
by
creating
extension counter etc. of
co-operative
Banks/
Gramin Bank.
Farmers training, training
for micro & small
entrepreneurship
including sponsoring etc.
has to be taken up under
capacity
building
programme.
