A- Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) at a Glance –
The new approach to watershed development provides a paradigm shift in the traditional approach where the role of the government is
changed from that of governance to facilitation. It envisages a bottom-up approach whereby the user's group themselves decide their work
programme.
The basic objective of this scheme is integrated watershed development based on village/ micro watershed plans. The highlights of the
scheme are:-
 Development of clusters of micro watersheds in a holistic manner rather than piecemeal treatment in sporadic patches.
 Decentralisation of decision-making process by involving local panchayati raj institutions, NGOs, government departments and the
watershed community at the grassroots level. The people are given actual decision-making powers in terms of project implementation
and fund disbursal.
 A three-tier approach addresses hilly/ forest regions, intermediate tier or slopes and lastly, plains and flat areas.
 The scheme promotes locally available low cost technology.
 The scheme also aims at creating rural employment opportunities.
Objectives
 Harvesting every drop of rainwater for purposes of irrigation, plantations including horticulture and floriculture, pasture development,
fisheries, etc., to create sustainable sources of income for the village community as well as for drinking water supplies.
 Ensuring overall development of rural areas through the Gram Panchayats and creating regular sources of income for the Panchayats
from rainwater harvesting and management.
 Employment generation, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and development of human and other economic resources of the
rural areas.
 Mitigating the adverse effects of extreme climatic conditions such as drought and desertification on crops, human and livestock
population for the overall improvement of rural areas.
 Restoring the ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources, i.e. land, water and vegetative cover
especially plantations.
 Encouraging the village community towards sustained community action for the operation and maintenance of assets and further
development of the potential of the natural resources in the watershed.
 Promoting use of simple, easy and affordable technological solutions and institutional arrangements that make use of, and build upon,
local technical knowledge and available materials.

Project implementation and Institutional Arrangement
The Watershed programmes are implemented by the "District Rural Development Agency'' through Village Watershed Committees
(VWC). A Project Implementing Agency (PIA), which may be a government department/ autonomous institute/intermediary panchayat or an
NGO, is assigned a cluster of micro watershed. The PIA forms a multidisciplinary ' Watershed Development Team' which provides technical
assistance to VWC in the planning and implementation of the programme. The women and rural area labourers of the area covered by the
watersheds are also organized into ' self-help groups.' The user groups are the beginning point as well as the end point for Watershed Development
Programmes. Their initiative is crucial to the success of the programme and they are the ultimate beneficiaries. The State Land Development and
Water Resources Department will coordinate amongst various government departments, Agricultural universities, NGOs etc., and monitor review
and evaluate the watershed development programmes. Community participation is an important aspect of watershed development programme.
Capacity Building and Training
Successful implementation of projects, understanding various aspects of the programme, skill up-gradation, sustainability of projects,
confidence building and planning implementation and monitoring of the watershed programme are the objectives of capacity building and training
exercise. Prior sensitization and orientation training on Watershed Project Management would be imparted to all concerned functionaries and
elected representatives at the district, block and village level before they assume their responsibilities. Training of self –help groups in groups
management and various income generating activities and user groups for resource management forms an important component of the overall
programme.
Monitoring and Evaluation
The Gram Sabha and Gram Panchayat are responsible for day to day monitoring at village level. At the district level it is essential to
review the progress of each PIA on the monthly basis. Likewise PIA may review the progress of each micro watershed before participating in the
district-level meeting. Village-level groups may undertake weelky meetings to review progress. This approach helps in achieving a steady
progress and also timely resolution of bottlenecks in implementation. PIAs are expected to have specific MIS system and by use of computer
networks online monitoring will be ensured.
Concurrent evaluation will be done by internal process. External agencies having expertise in watershed evaluation will be engaged for
midterm evaluation of the project activities and its outcome. This will be used for midterm correction based on the recommendation of the
evaluating agency. Critical assessment is to be done of the relevance of technological content, involvement of people in the programme, equity for
poor and women, facilitation of group action in addition to physical and financial progress alongwith the outcomes of the project activities in terms
of increase in production, productivity, cropping intensity and income of the beneficiaries. This midterm evaluation will help to assess whether the
project is on track and to carry out midterm corrections if required.
A post project evaluation will be done after completion of the project activities to assess the impact of the project on the watershed.
This will preferably be done by outside agency for getting independent assessment.

Chapter – I
1.0 Introduction: An overview of State -
Uttar Pradesh occupies an important place in the polity and economy of the country. The economy of U.P. is predominately
agrarian. The performance of agriculture and allied activities such as horticulture, animal husbandry, dairying & fisheries is critical in
determining the growth rate of the State. Extending between 250-310 N latitude and 770-840 E longitude, Uttar Pradesh is the fifth largest
State of India after Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh in area. For administrative purposes, the state is divided
into 18 divisions and 71 districts. There are 303 sub divisions, 313 Tehsils, 11 Municipal Corporation, 689 Cities, 820 community
development blocks, 52,000 Gram Sabha, 1,07,452 revenue villages, out of which 97,941 are inhabitant and 9,511 uninhabitant in the
state. Districts & Tahsils of the State are shown in Map 1.0.1 & Map 1.0.2
Though planned efforts since Independence yielded positive outcomes for the state economy in terms of development of social,
economic and industrial infrastructure and many other dimensions, it is still the 10th poorest state in the country. Heavy population
pressure is often mentioned as one of the key reasons of widespread poverty in the state.
Total geographical area of the state is 24,170 thousand hectare (which is 7.33% of total area of India) out of which 16,573
thousand hectare is under cultivation. Gross cropped area is 25,414 thousand ha with the cropping intensity of 153%. In Uttar Pradesh
size of holding is around 0.83 ha and per capita land area is 0.14 ha, which is less than a half of the national average of 0.32 ha. Uttar
Pradesh is largest producer of wheat, potato, sugarcane and milk whereas third largest producer of rice. Agriculture still constitutes the
backbone of the state economy, more so, because it provides livelihood to about two-third population of the state. The state is endowed
with ample alluvial soil along with diverse agro-climatic profile which can support the cultivation of variety of crops. Due to large
cultivated area, its share in national agricultural production is quite impressive but low crop productivity has hindered the realisation of
ultimate potential
(i) Physical Features

Being a border state of India, Uttar Pradesh’s northern frontiers adjoin Nepal which earlier extended upto Tibet before the creation of
Uttaranchal whose Shivalik ranges near Tibet Border. UP’s boundaries touch Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan in the west, Madhaya
Pradesh in the south and Bihar in the east. In geo-physical terms, the Shivalik range of the Himalayas in the north, the river Yamuna and
the Vindhyas in the west, south-west and the south and the Gandak river in the east demarcate the terrain called Uttar Pradesh as it is.
topographically, U.P. consisted of Terai-Bhabhar, plains and the southern plateau, Terai-Bhabhar.

(ii) Terai Bhabhar Region
The thin strip of land running from Saharanpur in the west to Deoria in the east is known as Bhabhar and Terai. The Bhabhar area
in Saharanpur, Bijnor and Pilibhit districts skirts round the Shivalik hills. Torrential streams and rivers desending the mountaineous
slopes slow down here, leaving behind boulders brought from the upper reaches of the Himalayan hills. Some 34 Kilometers in width in
the west, the tract goes on getting narrower in its march towards the east. Smaller streams seem to get lost in the thick mass of boulders
but reappear some distance away, moving slowly and depositing a thin layer of soil which converts itself into a marshy patch called the
Terai.
The Terai area, which runs through parts of Saharanpur, Bijnor, Rampur, Barelly, Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bahraich, Gonda,
Basti, Siddarthnagar, Gorakhpur, Mahrajganj and Deoria districts was once a belt, some 80 to 90 kilometers wide , covered with forests
and tall, dense grasses. In the recent years, however, owing to the land acquisition programme of the State Government the Terai belt has
shrunk considerably, Wheat, rice and sugar cane are the main crops grown in Terai together with jute in certain stretches.
Outside the Terai and Bhabhar belt, the plains are fertile and flat save certain trans-Yamuna portions in Agra and Mathura districts
where ravines and red stone hillocks abound on the eastern end of the Arawali range.
Irrigated by Ganga, Yamuna and their tributaries, the plains slope in two formations- from north to south in the west and west
north to south east in the east, yielding two major crops a year i.e. rice in Kharif & wheat in Rabi Season.
(iii) Southern Hills and Plateau
The rivers Yamuna and the Ganga demarcate the northern boundaries of the southern plateau of the State which comprises
the district of Lalitpur, Jhansi, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Chitrakoot and Banda as well as the Karchhana and Meja tehsils of the
Allahabad district besides Chakia tehsil in Varanasi district. Geologically, these regions which were formed probably in the pre-cambrian
period reach upto an average height of 300 meters above the sea level. In a few places they rise to 450 meters, peaking to around 600
meters in the Kaimur and Sonbhadra hills that run to the north of the river Sone. The Vindhya hills in the Karwi tehsil of the Banda
district slope towards north east. The rivers Betwa and Ken which pass through Bundelkhand join the Yamuna. The region receives
scanty rainfall which, coupled with severe heat, accounts for the stunted growth of flora and scarce availability of winges fauna. Jowar,
Gram and Wheat are the main crops of the area. To mitigate the situation steps have been taken, in the past few years, to construct
reservoirs for irrigation and drinking purposes.

1.2. Economic Development
1.2.1 PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF DIFFERENT CROPS:
Uttar Pradesh is a largest food grain producing State in India producing about 20% of the country's total food grain production. In
2006-07 contribution of Uttar Pradesh was 41.20 million tonnes in the national food grain production of 217.3 million tones. By the end
of year 2009 food grain production in the state is expected to be at the level of 49.71 million tonnes. However, the state is also
characterized by extreme dependence on agriculture. About 80% of the population in U.P. live in the rural areas. It is rich in national
resources (land and water) but has a high population density and declining soil fertility. Agriculture accounts for about 32% of GSDP.
The State accounts for about 17 percent of all-India foodgrain area and 21 percent of production. Main crop of the State is Cereal
and Pulses, Oilseeds are also grown in some area with low productivity. Relatively larger share in production is obviously attributed to
higher foodgrain yield in the state (Table – 1.2.1)
Table- 1.2.1 - Production & productivity of Crops in U.P.

In case of Rice and Wheat, its share in area as well as production is around 14 and 35 percent respectively due to comparable yield
levels. The state has about 1/4th of the total area under coarse cereals but its share in production is around 1/10th due to much low Maize
yield. With better yield, the state produces about 18 percent of total production of Pulses with only 12-13 percent area. It makes the
highest contribution in production of Lentil followed by Pigeon pea and Gram. In country’s total stock of Oilseeds the State’s
contribution is limited to just 5-6 percent due to small area under these crops in spite of comparable yield rates. However, State’s
contribution in total production of Rapeseed & Mustard is higher (17-19 percent). The State is most important producer of Sugarcane and
accounts for about 40 percent of total production in the country. Larger area under Sugarcane more than compensates for lower yield.
1.3 Role of watershed management in the State – Importance of watershed programme for the State,
historical background of watershed development in the State, current status, expected outcomes, etc.
1.3.1 - Rain Water Harvesting
U.P. has diverse agro climatic zones which almost different from another. For example eastern plain is being presumed as water
logged area whereas Bundelkhand is well known for their drought prone climatic property. A concept of rain water harvesting is to
conserve and collect the rain water of rainy season in a water body for their multipurpose use i.e. for live stock, human needs and farm
sector. A scheme has been launched for Bundelkhand region to minimize the adversity of drought in this region. Through this scheme
Drip and Sprinkler irrigation system has been provided to the farmers at subsidized rate. Judicious use of rain water demonstration is
being made as a component of this scheme for the purpose of its popularization amongst the farming community.
1.3.2 Natural Resource Management
Land is a basic natural resource on which development of human with other living beings along with water and plants are going on
from the beginning of the creation. Inadequate management of natural resource affected bio diversity, agriculture productivity and
ecological balance. It is necessary to implement on priority basis, Soil and Water Conservation programmes in problematic areas, to
ensure planned development and to achieve required production of food grains, fodder and bio fuel. Schemes implemented also provide
local employment to the agriculture labourers, small and marginal farmers.
Non scientific use of land creates numerous problems like land degradation, ravine and water logging.Some of the adverse impact
reflected on agriculture production and productivity are as under:-
 Agra, Kanpur, Allahabad, Jhansi and Chitakoot Dham region are severely affected by ravine/land eroding problem.
 Aligarh. Etah, Etawah, Aurrya, Mainpuri, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Kanpur Dehat, Unnao, Hardoi, Lucknow, Raibarely,
Sultanpur, Pratapgarh, Allahabad, Fatehpur, Jaunpur, Ajamgarh, Mau and Balia are mostly affected by USAR problem. Crop
productivity is very low due to alkaline problem in the land of these regions.
17
 An area of is 3.40 lakh ha. in the Agra and Mathura district are affected from saline under ground water. Seed germination and
crop health are affected from salinity of water.
 Diversion of river flow of the state’s main rivers like Ganga, Ghaghra, Ram Ganga and Gandak creates problem of land erosion
on river bank. Flood is another major problem in these areas.
 Improper management of drainage system creates water logging problems. Unplanned development also creates the problem of
water logging.
1.3.3 - Present Status of Land Resource
The major river of the state is Ganga, Yamuna, Ghaghra and Sone. Problematic area of watershed is situated along these rivers.
 Total Reported Area (Lakh ha.) 241.70

2.1 Climate and Rainfall
2.1.1 – Climate -
Uttar Pradesh lies in the warm temperate zone and remains hot during the summer month. In the Terai area the climate is both hot
and humid while in the southern plateau the heat is simply over-powering with not a grain of humidity. Summer Temperatures shoot upto
43 degree celcius in the summer months of April, May and June. Torrid, scorching winds blow throughout the plains of U.P. generally. In
the winter the weather temperature oscillates between 12.5 and 17.5 degree celcius. The year has three seasons – winter from October to
Febraury, summer from March to June and thereafter monsoon lasting roughly from July to September. Agra and Jhansi are the hottest
districts with bareilly being the least, comparatively speaking.
2.1.2 - The Ganga and Yamuna are the two principal rivers of the State. Their flow is determined by the Himalayas in the north and by
the Vindhyas in the south. The Ganga originates from the Gangotri glacier, which is now, Uttaranchal state and enters Uttar Pradesh
through Saharanpur district. As it enters U.P., the Ganga gradually shifts its course eastward from the south and is joined by several
tributaries on both of its banks. Ramganga, Gomti, Ghaghra, Kali, Sharda, Rapti and Gandak are the important tributaries which joins
into the Ganga on the left bank, while on the right it is joned by the yamuna and other major tributaries like Chambal, Sind, Betwa and
Ken besides Sone and Tons. Significantly, all the left bank tributaries of the Ganga except the Gomti (which originates in Pilibhit
district) have their source in the Himalayas and right bank tributaries in the Vindhyas and Satpura range, Several small rivers like Mosi,
Sai, Kalyani, Chandraprabha, karamnasha, Rihand, Belan and dhasan merge with the Ganga or the Yamuna at some place or the other. At
Allahabad the Ganga and Yamuna themselves merge together – their confluence called the Sangam, the holiest of the holiest place for
Hindu Communities.
The Yamuna tributaries viz. Chambal, (the largest of all) Sind, Betwa and Ken together release more than half of the water brought
by the Vindhyan rivers into the Ganga. The source of the Chambal is the Vindhya hills and it is joined further by smaller rivers. The two
major rivers that join the Ganga from the south are the tons and Sone of which the latter is bigger. It originates from the Satpura hills with
its source close to that of Narmada and Mahanadi rivers. The rivers of U.P. originating from the Himalayas are generally full of water all
the year round while those from the Vindhyas dry up during the summer. The reason that the water doesn’t decrease in the Himalayan
rivers is the melting of the snow during the summer. Another reason is that rains are more copious in the Himalayas than the Vindhyas.
However, due to diversion of water of rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Sharda, Ramganga, for irrigation purposes, the ultimate flow of water in
river ganges goes on reducing as it flows downwards. Drainage & river basins are shown in Map- 2.1.2.

Map- 2.1.2 Drainage & River Basins
23
2.1.3 – Rainfall –
The state receives its major share of rainfall from mid-June to mid-September from the monsoon clouds of the Bay of Bengal. In
the winter, north-westernly cyclones bring showers, averaging between 60 and 100 centimeters to areas in the north western district of
the state. The annual rainfall in the eastern part of the U.P. averages between 100 to 120 centimeters though parts to the west of Jaunpur
district receive much less rainfall. Monsoon lasts in U.P. from June to September, covering about 83 per centage of the total rainfall while
winter rains cover the remaining 17 per cent. District wise figure of rainfall are given in Table- SPSP- 3 & Annual Rainfall is depicted in

2.2 Soils & Forest
2.2.1 – Soils & Forest
In the western districts of Uttar Pradesh viz. Saharanpur, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Moradabad, Pilibhit and Bareilly, the soil
is typically the same. It is, generally, deep brown and loamy in some places, also mixed with sand. The soil is shallow, gravely and full of
stones – being generally acidic. In the western plains (Saharanpur, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar) the soil is deeper and fertile. Further east-
wards (Bareilly, Moradabad, Bijnor and Pilibhit) the soil gets to be loamy, Still further down the Pilibhit district, some of the soil become
acidic while the rest shows some alkaline properties. The soil in the central regions comprising Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Lucknow,
Barabanki, Hardoi, Kanpur and Azamgarh districts is loamy and sandy loms.
In the eastern part of the state, the districts of Gorakhpur, Basti, Mahrajganj, Siddarthnagar and Gonda contain two varieties of the
soil, which are locally known as ‘Bhat’ and ‘banjar’. The alluvial soil is called ‘dhuh’. The one described as ‘mant’ is loamy sandy-
calcareous, comparatively. The soil in the north western district of the state contains less of phosphate. The district of Jaunpur, Azamgarh
and Mau are found to be lacking in potash and the drier areas are known as ‘usar’ and ‘reh’ . The soil of Aligarh, Mainpuri, Kanpur, Etah,
Etawah, Sitapur, Unnao, Raibareilly and Lucknow is salt affected and known as ‘usar’ and ‘reh’ soils.
Mixed red and black soil is found in the Jhansi division of the state and the districts of Mirzapur and Sonebhadra as well as the
karchhana and Meja tehsils of Allahabad besides Chakia and Varanasi district. Black soil is sticky, calcareous and fertile. It expands as it
soaks moisture and contracts on drying up. In the upper plateau of these districts the soil is red and is of two kinds – ‘parwa’ and ‘rackar’
‘parwa’ is light sandy or sandy-loam while ‘rackar’ is alkaline. Soils of U.P. are depicted in Map – 2.2.1

2.2.2 – Forest & Natural Vegetation –
Before the formation of Uttaranchal, the geographical spread of U.p. was 2,94,411 square kilometres of which 33,994
square kilometres (that is 11.54 per cent) were covered with forests. Now with an area of 23,243 square kilometres
transferred to Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh has been left with a forest cover of only 10,751 square kilometres. Thus , the forest
cover of U.P. has been reduced to a paltry 7 percent of its total geographical expanse. However, only 4.46 percent is under
dense forest.
The existing plant life in Uttar Pradesh can be classified into three categories : (i) wet tropical deciduous forests (ii)
dry tropical deciduous forests and (iii) tropical thorny forests.
Wet tropical forests are situated in areas which receive an annual rainfall of 100 to 150 centimeters, a special feature
of which is that deciduous trees of uneven shapes and sizes are to be found in elevated areas while the low- lying areas have
a significant presence of bamboo, creepers and climbers as also cane together with green bushes. The trees that grow chiefly
in these forests are : sal, plum, goolar, palash, mahua, amla, dhak, jamun etc.
Dry deciduous forests are to be generally found in the plains of almost the whole of central and western regions of the
state. Bushes and grasses grow here in abundance because of sun light travelling right upto the ground level. Large tracts of
land have, however, been cleared for agricultural purposes in these forests where sal, fig, palash and teak besides trees such
as neem, peepal, mango, jamun, mahua and acacia grow nearby rivers or in places containing moisture.
Thorny forests abound, mostly, in the south western parts of the State where rainfall is scanty (40 to 60 cms.
Annually). Long stretches of land are covered with thorny bushes and stunted trees, mainly, acacia and other fruit-bearing
prickly plants. The land appears to be carpeted, temporarily, by short grass during the monsoon. Altogether, this part of the
state is a permanent open dry woodland in which a variety of trees grow, yielding resin and gum. Forest & natural vegetation

The cropping pattern as presented in the table 2.3.1 reflects that foodgrains dominate the state agriculture. About 4/5th of the gross
cropped area is occupied by foodgrains as compared to the national level share of 38 percent. Within foodgrains, cereals and pulses
occupy 70 and 11 percent of the total cropped area, respectively. While major cereals (Rice and Wheat) are sown in 60 percent of the
area, coarse cereals are cultivated in about 10 percent area. Maize and Pearl millet (bajra) are the most important coarse cereal
accounting for 3/4th of the total area under coarse cereals.
Non-foodgrain crops of the State, which comprise of oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, spices, flowers, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco and
others, are sown in about 20 percent area. Sugarcane is the main non-foodgrain and commercial crop of the State which is cultivated in
about 8 percent of the gross cropped area. Oilseeds grown in about 3.28 percent area include sesame, rapeseed & mustard, linseed,
groundnut, soybean, sunflower.
2.3.2 – Vegitables, Fruits, Spices & Flowers –

Various vegetables are cultivated in the State but main crops are Potato, Onion, Brinjal, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Okra, Green peas, and
Tomato. Vegetable crops together occupy just 3 percent area. Main fruits of Uttar Pradesh include Mango and Guava,. However, Citrus,
Papaya and Litchi are also grown in a small area. Spices and flowers are grown on very small scale, viz., 0.16 and 0.29 percent,
respectively. Main spices include Fenugreek, Coriander, Turmeric, Chilly, Ginger, Garlic and Fennel. Flowers that are cultivated in the
State are Rose (cut and loose), Gladioli, Marigold, Tube rose, and Jasmine.

2.4 –Floods and Droughts in the State
The State faces flood situation mostly in the northern and eastern parts in the catchments of River Ghaghra and Ganga. Around
73.06 lac ha. is flood-prone and the districts affected are 31 with 154 blocks and 18958 villages. In certain areas every year flood situation
arises whereas in some areas it is once in two to three years.
At regards drought situation, the Southern part of the State i.e. areas of Bundelkhand and Vindhyan region comprising of eight
districts are facing drought situation almost for 3 years in a period of five years. Incidentally, these districts are having less than fifty
percent areas under irrigation. Naturally for improving the production and productivity from these areas and ensure sustainability in
production, watershed development activity is the key solution. The present project will address to these areas on priority basis and
efforts will be made to cover the entire areas left out for treatment in these districts. There is good potential for improving the production
and productivity throught watershed development activities which will improve the economic status of the people and also help in
mitigating the ill effects of drought.
Details of drought and flood affected districts and villages are given in Table SPSP-4.

Demography and land distribution
3.1. ECONOMIC CLASSIFICATION OF POPULATION
Uttar Pradesh is the largest populated state of India, having 1662 lakh population as per 2001 census, against 16.2% of India’s population.
From economic view point, the population is divided into main workers, marginal workers, and non-workers. People who worked for major
part of the reference year are characterised as main workers and those worked for lesser duration are termed as marginal workers. Persons who
did not work at all during the reference year are known as non-workers. The Census is the main source of such classification of population.
Comparative population with India & Economic classification of state’s population as per the Census 2001 is given in Table 3.1.1 & 3.1.2

3.2 Poverty levels People living below the Poverty Line, Uttar Pradesh
National sample survey (NSS) rounds with population based designs are (2004-05)
used to form the basis for computation of poverty statistics. The latest 35.0
such round was 61st round in 2004-05. The calculations are done using 32.9
32.5 31.1
uniform recall period (URP) and mixed recall period (MRP). URP 30.7
considers consumption expenditures for goods and services for a 30.0
27.8
reference period of one month (more precisely last 30 days) while as 27.5 25.9
25.5
MRP considers expenditures of five non-frequently consumed items
25.0
(clothing, footwear, education, medical-institutional and consumer
durables) for last 365 days whiles as rest for last 30 days. Using state 22.5
sample data of NSS 61st round, poverty for Uttar Pradesh is computed at 20.0
a level of 31.1 percent based on URP. The poverty rates for rural and Rural Urban Uttar Pradesh
urban areas of the state are found to be 30.7 and 32.9 percent respectively URP MRP

3.4 SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION OF THE FARMERS OF UP

Uttar Pradesh is 10th poorest state in the country and is characterized as one of the slow growing developing region mainly due to low
per capita income, some other aspects also assign to its poverty. State per capita income was US$ 238 p.a. in 2005-06 while the national per
capita income stood at US$ 450 in the same period. In terms of rural poverty it is the 12th and in regards to urban poverty the 4th poorest state.
About 35% population (30 to 50 million) is living below poverty in both rural and urban areas, though condition in urban areas is little better.
Heavy pressure of population on the land and power crisis restricts industrial growth in the state as a result scope of other means of livelihood
is not open out in Table 3.4 selected socio economic development indicators for U.P. and the major states of India as given.

About 67% of the population is rural and dependent on agricultural production for their livelihood with farm income accounting
for more than 20% of the income of rural households. Growth in agriculture sector of UP has been 2.10% in 2002-07 as compared to
national growth 1.1% and it is expected to grow faster in coming years because of inception of two ambitious programme i) National
Food Security Mission and ii) Support to State Extension Programme for Extension Reform. Nevertheless, the share of agriculture in the
GDP of UP has been declining from about 33% in 1999-2000 to 26% in 2007-08 which is alarming in a state where about 65%
population’s livelihood is agriculture.
One of the major causes of poor growth in agriculture sector is lack of market network for high profitable crops, number of
intermediaries exist in market channels who share greater part of income.
3.5 - Land Reform measure & Operational land holding in the State under different categories and income -
FARMERS PROFILE AND SIZE OF HOLDINGS IN UTTAR PRADESH
Rising population and divisions in families is directly correlated to fragmentation of holdings. Consequently size of holdings are
continuously becoming smaller. During last one decade average size of holding has come down from 0.97 ha to 0.83 ha as a result
numbers of marginal and small farmers are increasing every year. Marginal farmers are those who cannot meet out their annual food
requirement from lands they own and in Uttar Pradesh 76.88% farmers are categorized in this class. Number of marginal and small
farmers and distribution of land is shown in the Table 3.5

4.0 Land Use Pattern
4.1 LAND USE PATTERN & HOLDING :
The state has a total reported geographical area of about 24170 thousand hectares out of which 16573 thousand hectares are under
cultivation (Table 4.1). More than half (8635 thousand hectares) of the cultivated area is sown more than once. Gross cropped area is
25414 hectares in the state. The state shares in total geographical area, net sown area and gross cropped area of the country are 7, 12 and
14 percent, respectively. Per capita land area of the state is 0.14 hectare as compared to 0.33 hectare for the country as a whole. Thus, the
state has to support more people with lesser land.

5.0 Trends in Agriculture and Food Productivity
5.1 - Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of wheat in the country contributing about 33% of the national production whereas U.P. is the
second largest producer of rice, which accounts for about 12% of the national production. In Uttar Pradesh 2.7% of holdings is of more
than 4 hectares and accounts for 19.2% of total area. While about 75.4% of the marginal holdings accounts for 33.7% of the total area
which clearly reflects severe inequities in the ownership of land holdings.
Despite all odds the state contributes 33% wheat, 38% sugarcane and 38% potato produced in the country.The contribution of U.P.
to national basket of agricultural produce in respect of major crops is given in Table 5.1

5.2.4- Gap in Productivity and Potential
Although there is a marked gap in the productivity of various crops grown in U.P. compared to other State and countries, yet it has
wide variation from one zone and region to another. On the basis of an analysis of crop cutting experiments this gap has clearly been
identified, where a large number of farmers could get significantly very high yield of crops, which can be termed as workable potential
and can be compared with any other State. The gap between potential and actual yield is depicted in Table – 5.2.4

5.3 Plan Outlay
The plan outlay is the most effective and widely known source of investment. There is a wide range of activities which are
financed from the outlay and the State has large freedom and choice in the use of the same. The plan outlay in the Agriculture and Allied
sector since First Five Year Plan is given in Table – 5.3
Table – 5.3 -Percentage Expenditure on Agriculture & Allied Sector over Plan period in Uttar Pradesh (Rs. In lakh)
Plan Total Outlay / Expenditure Agriculture & Allied Sector Percentage
First Plan 15337 2487 16.2
Second Plan 23336 2625 11.2
Third Plan 56063 5789 10.3
Fourth Plan 115924 9921 8.6
Fifth Plan 287118 16350 5.7
Sixth Plan 645312 44307 6.9
Seventh Plan 1194872 122678 10.3
Eighth Plan 2164246 206116 9.5
Ninth Plan 2830918 274375 9.7
Tenth Plan 5485571 425126 7.7
Eleventh Plan 18109400 1914637 10.6
An analysis of the above table shows that the share of Agriculture and Allied sector which stood at 16.2 percent in the First Plan decreased
to 5.7 percent in the fifth Plan, but thereafter some higher allocation are done. During Eleventh Five Year Plan it is expected to be 10.6 percent.
However these allocations are not sufficient in view of the 32 % contribution in agriculture and allied sector to state SGDP.

5.4 - Growth Rate in Agriculture
High growth in agriculture sector is necessary for attaining higher growth in the overall economy of the State, as also for reduction
in the incidence of poverty. Average annual growth rate in agriculture sector during the 10th Plan was targeted at 5.1 percent. However,
the achievement has been only about 2 percent. A lower growth rate of this order is indicative of the fact that there was ‘something’
missing in our efforts and strategies for agriculture development. A review of past growth rates in the agriculture sector reveal that the
state had achieved a growth rate of 5.7 percent during Fifth Plan. Thus, the State has potential of achieving higher growth in the sector. It
is in this background that a growth rate of 5.7 percent envisaged in agriculture sector during Eleventh Plan. The growth rate in the
Agriculture and Allied sector since First Five Year Plan is given in Table – 5.4

5.5 FERTILIZER CONSUMPTION
Use of chemical fertilizers in comparison to neighbor states Hariyana and Punjab is very low and also below the national average.
As per the U.P. Statistical Diary 2006-07 there was 37.34 Lakh M.T. (N 27.14 Lakh M.T. , P 8.53 Lakh M.T., K 1.68 Lakh M.T.)
consumption in the state. Consumption of chemical fertilizers is going ahead in a positive trend but there is a threat of imbalance use
which caused the deterioration of soil health.
The recommended fertilizer use is focused on NPK ratio which should be in the ideal form i.e. 4:2:1. The pattern of fertilizer
consumption in the state shows that the NPK ratio is gradually narrowing. During 2002-03 the ratio was 16.6:5.1:1 which has narrowed to
10.7:4:1 indicating the efforts for balanced use of fertilizer. Details are shown in Table – 5.5 .

Lack of quality seed, imbalance use of fertilizers are the other reasons of low yield. Though the availability of quality seed has
increased during the past three years but farmers often mistaken in selecting appropriate variety with consideration to region, date of
sowing, type of soil and other requisites of variety. Imbalance use of chemical fertilizers and wider ratio of NPK against the
recommended ratio also hamper desired results. Rains also play an important role in agriculture especially for kharif crops. Moreover,
illiteracy or semi literacy, poverty and lack of resources or poor access to amenities are the root cause which inhibits timely and scientific
operation of most of the agriculture practices many times in many cases.
5.6 SEED REPLACEMENT RATE

Seed is one of the most vital inputs responsible for higher production under specific agro-climatic situation and can contribute 10
to 15 percent increase in production. The seed scenario in Uttar Pradesh during Xth Five Year Plan (2002-07) period has been highly
encouraging in the case of cereal seeds especially the paddy and wheat. There is an encouraging trend in the Seed Replacement Rate
94
during the current Five Year Plan which is evident from Table – 5.6

However, the seed replacement in case of pulses and oil seed are not at the desired level. Infacts these crops are from the rainfed
areas and in watershed development activities, for improving the productivity of pulses and oil seed, special emphasis will have to be
given on seed replacement of pulses & oilseeds.
95
5.7 Major Constraints in agriculture productivity and production
The state’s position in overall production of foodgrains is at number one position having around 20 percent of the overall
production of country. Infact the State contributes around 35 percent of wheat in the country. State is at 2 nd position of the rice
production, first in sugarcane and potato production. However at the productivity level the state has poor performance compared to some
advanced states like Punjab, Hariyana and Tamilnadu .The main reason for lower productivity levels are:
1– Irrigation even 80 percent of area is reported to have been under irrigation but in terms of number of irrigation as per requirement
of crops is not sufficient. 65 percent area irrigation is by mostly Diesel operated privately owned tube wells. The cost of diesel operated
pumps being high, the farmers are not irrigating through pumps in kharif. Even in rabi they irrigate only 2 to 3 times instead of 5 to 6
times required for wheat crop. In canal commands due to poor maintenance of canal and distribution system, the availability of water is
poor. Water availability is also poor especially at tail ends.
2– Timely availability of inputs like seed fertilizer etc. is poor.
3– Dwindling extension services. Most of the posts are vacant with the result the farmers are not getting timely and required technical
inputs.
4– Land holding size is day by day getting smaller with the result the investment capacity of the farmers is poor, resulting is low
productivity.
5– Problematic area: - the state has a total problematic area of around 120 lac. Ha. which includes erosin , soil salinity alkalinity ,
ravines, waterlogging, diyara lands etc. This affects productivities from these areas.
6 – Poor investments in agriculture sectors.
7– In case of milk production also the State stands at number one but productivity per animal is poor due to non availability of
sufficient quality feed and green fodder.
8– In case of vegetable and fruits also the States position is at no 2 level but in these crops also the productivity as compared from the
other states-position is poor.
9– Erratic Mansoon trend and occasional moisture stress conditions with long dry spell especially in rainfed areas and run off from
sloppy lands causing severe erosion also results in poor productivity and production.
10 – Poor soil health and low organic matter content in the soil is also a major cause for low productivity. Soils are getting deficiency is
some important nutrients like Sulpher, Iron, Zinc, Boron etc. which also results in low productivities of different crops and vegetables &
low seed replacement rate particularly in case of pulses & oilseeds the main crops of the rainfed areas.
96
5.7.1 U.P State Agriculture Policy
In its policy document for agriculture (2005) the State has given due emphasis on the following issues.
i- Efficient utilization of natural resources and environment management
ii - Efficient and judicious utilization of natural resources for agriculture would be ensured considering its technical feasibility,
economic viability and eco-friendliness besides its social acceptability.
iii- Soil Management - On line availability of information regarding inventory of land resources based on their capabilities will be
ensured. Land use pattern would be monitored regularly and changes if any, would be updated at every five years interval. Waste and
degraded lands available in the form of usar barren, ravine, fallow and diara would be reclaimed and subsequently utilized for
agriculture, horticulture, forestry and pasture. The farmers are not getting any income from the sodic and waste land in state. On the basis
of ‘public-private panchayat partnership model’,
iv - The self help groups of farmers will be encouraged for the plantation of Jetropha, Ratanjot, etc. for production of bio diesel.
v - The unirrigated and erosion affected lands will be managed through integrated watershed management approach using vegetable,
mechanical and agronomical measures. For the success of watershed management programme, the ownership of the common village
resources such as pasture lands, forest and water resources will be decided in such a way so that they can be utilized by all the villagers
living in the command of concerned watershed. If required, necessary changes in existing law will be made.
vi - Development of Pasture & Forest Land –Pasture and forest lands will be developed for growing of grasses, forage, fuel and timber
trees to cater local needs.

Implementation of Watershed Programme in the State at present
At present the watershed development programme activities are being handled by the department of Agriculture and the Land
Development and Water Resources, Department of Uttar Pradesh Government. The Department of Agriculture has got 98 Soil Conservation
Units, Ramganga Command Project 53 Units and Sharda Sahayak Command Project 44 Units. The Watershed development Programmes in the
state were being taken up under U.P. Bhumi avam Jal Sanrakshan Act 1963 where as theLand Development and Water Resources Department
of U.P. are working as per G.O.I's guidelines of 1994 and Hariyali Guidelines of 2003. Each of these organization has got a well organized
structure of units working in the districts with Deputy Directors at the Regional level and Additional Director, Soil Conservation under
Director of Agriculture at state level in the Department of Agriculture and Administrators of Ramganga Command and Sharda Sahayak
Command in their area of Jurisdition.All the 71 Districts are covered under the following various watershed programmes.

6.2 State level Nodal Agency (SLNA)
It is further indicated that the state Govt. vide its notification No. 126/54-3/2009/1(samadesh)/2008 dated 25-2-2009 has
constituted the State Level Nodel Agency (SLNA) to overlook the various watershed development programmes being operated in the
state by various development departments and agencies (APPENDIX-I).
Now onwords i.e. from 1-4-2009 the common guideline issued by the Rainfed Area Development Authority,formulated under the
Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperation of Govt of India will be followed in the state:
6.3 Status of Watershed Programme in the State –

As per demarcation of Watershed & Micro Watersheds done by the State Remote Sensing Agency, the total number of Watersheds
in the State is 328 & no’s of Micro Watersheds are 21278 ranging from 1.02 ha. to 3477 ha. size. 4074 Micro Watersheds are
overlapping in some adjoining districts, thereby in districtwise details as indicated in Table SPSP – 14 , total no’s of Micro Watersheds
shown are more than actual Watersheds as depicted in column no. 5 & 6 of Table SPSP – 14 (of 63 Districts, excluding 07 Distt. Jhansi,
Lalitpur, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Banda & Chitrakoot Of Bundelkhand Region due to Bundelkhand Package)
Watersheds and Micro Watersheds in the State are shown in Map 6.3.1 & Map 6.3.2
As pre IWMP Project, the two major watershed management activities i.e. DPAP and IWDP of the Ministry of Rural Development,
Department of Land Resources, were in operation, wherein, total 1355 micro watersheds were covered with an area of 12.81 lac ha. within
63 Districts. The schemes of other Ministries (mostly Department of Agriculture ,RIDF, and other State Government Schemes) were also in
operation in 8660 micro watersheds covering an area of 83.28 lac. ha. within 63 Districts. Thus so far, total micro watersheds taken up are
10015 and area covered 96.09 lac ha. within 63 Districts. At present 6611 micro watersheds with an area of 71.56 lac ha. within 63
Districts is yet to be covered. The districtwise (63 Districts, excluding 07 Distt., Jhansi, Lalitpur, Jalaun, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Banda &
Chitrakoot of Bundelkhand region) details of the total number of Micro Watersheds and their areas, Micro Watersheds covered under
IWDP/DPAP and the schemes of others Ministries of GOI i.e. Agricuture and States scheme along with RIDF of NABARD etc., are given

After the creation of assets and implementation of the various works in the project area consolidation and withdrawn phase starts.
The WC and the SHG's and User Groups are expected to take up further activities and management and maintenance of the assets created.
Watershed Development Funds(WDF) will be properly utilized for maintenance of assets created under the project. The following
activities are expected in this phase.
1- Consolidation and maintenance of various works.
2- Management of developed natural resources.
3- Intensification and improvement of farm production system, off farm livelihood activities taken up by SHG's.
4- Maintenacne of Assets.
140
7.4 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
Initially the WC will get funds for implementation from the project through their DWDU/DRDA and will also have to collect the
beneficiary contributions as agreed to with SLNA. In the beginning 10% of the funds required as per Annual work plan will be
provided to W.C.The Funds made available to WC by the project will be of two kinds.
1-Implementation Fund
2-Revolving Fund
Besides this, fund generated by the WC will be watershed Development Fund(WDF) for which separate bank account will be maintained.
In fact this, fund will be utilized in the last phase for maintenance of assets.
7.4.1 Implementation Fund: Implementation Fund will be the grant transferred to the WC for the implementation of Project
activites. As such major amounts received by the WC will be under this head. This fund will be used only for the activities proposed in

Chapter 8
Livelihood concerns
The State has got 76 percent marginal farmers and 14 percent small farmers. It is expected that the project areas may also have the
same status of the farmers owning the land in the project areas. Besides this there are number of landless agricultural labourers who may
not get direct benefits from the project activities. In order to have their participation and to improve the livelihood opportunities to all the
people belonging to watershed areas, they will be organized in groups and provided training for taking up Income Generating Activities
(IGA) to enhance their income and improve their likelihood.
In order to improve the production and productivity in different crops, activities like Integrated Plant Nutrient Management
(IPNM), Integrated Crop Management, Integrated Water Management, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) will be promoted in the
project areas by providing training, and demonstration. In fact, since the farmers are having small holdings, farming system approach
will be adopted in which animal husbandry activities, vegetables growing, growing of medicinal plants etc. will be promoted in the
project areas which will improve the income levels of the farmers.
In order to provide benefits to landless laborers and women in project areas, they will be organized into the Self Help Groups
(SHG’s). These SHG’S will be provided training in various types of income generating activities like raising of milch Animals, Backyard
Poultry, Sheep and goat raring etc. Besides this women will be trained in tailoring, garment manufacturing, food processing like sattu,
bari, pickle making activities etc. All these activities will be planned systematically and will be provided backward and forward linkages.
These Income Generating Activities (IGA) will improve the income of these women and landless labourers.
In order to start the various IGA’s, the groups may require revolving funds to begin with. This fund will be provided as loan with
no interest. Once the group starts generating funds, this loan will be returned in installments. This revolving funds will be provided in
rotation to different SHG’s. They will be encouraged to have regular saving habits to create and generate their own funds in a systematic
way. Training in maintenance of accounts will also be provided to these groups.
142
Necessary funds are proposed for training and revolving fund. Further additional funds will be arranged through bank linkages of
the groups.
The SHG’s that can take up the following activities in the project areas which are mentioned below.
1. Horticulture- Vegetable Production, Mushroom cultivation and Floriculture.
2. Food processing, preservation, pickle making, manufacture of soybean by-products and bakery.
3. Cultivation of medicinal plants.
4. Fiber handicraft, plate/rope making, Carpet making.
5. Livestock production (backyard poultry, goat/sheep units), Dairy unit-processing plants.
6. Fisheries.
7. Beekeeping
8. Forest/horticulture nurseries.
9. Seri Culture.
10. Varmi culture
11. Tailoring with shared/individual owned sewing machine, setting up indivisdual/jointly owned shops or tea-stalls and
production of tools for artisan activities.
These activities will be chosen as per market demand and the skill will be developed amongst the members of SHG’s through
training for different activities.
In order to give support to the groups formed, they will be organized in clusters and federation. This will help in giving
marketing support for disposal and sale of the various items produced with different Income Generating activities.
143
The livelihoods expected tobe generated for landless people and farmers are mentioned in Table SPSP-24(A) and Table SPSP -
25-(B). However, the districtwise and micro watershedwise details will be given in the Detailed Project Plans (DPR).

by the concerned Nodal Agencies at the central level and ensure that quality evaluations take place on a regular basis.
i) Prepare State Specific Process Guidelines, Technology Manuals etc. in coordination with the Nodal Ministry/NRAA and
operationalise the same.
j) Overall management and coordination with different agencies for implementation of the programme in the State.
147
9.2 District Level Institutional arrangements: Establishment of Dirstrict Level Watershed Development
Unit(DWDU/DRDA)
As per common guide lines where the project area is less than 25000 hectare DRDA will continue to oversee the watershed
development programme. In districts where the coverage of area under watershed development work is more than 25000 hectare separate
DWDU will be established under the Chairmanship of Dirstict Magistrate. The DRDA/DWDU will oversee the implementation of
watershed programme in each district and will have separate independent account for this purpose. DWDU will function in close co-
ordination with the District Planning Committee. There will also be representation in DWDU from NREGA and other implementing
agencies at the district level.
DWDU would function as separate unit with full time Project Manager and 3 to 4 subject matter specialists in Agriculture, soil
conservation/Water Management/Social Mobilisation/Management & Accounts appointed on the basis of their qualification and expertise
on contract/deputation/transfer etc. The Chief Development Officer will act as a Project Manager, DWDU as per present arrangements.If
open market recruitment is necessary, this will be done by the SLNA. In such cases, the Project Manager, DWDU will sign a contract (
for a period not less than three years) with SLNA that will spell out well-defined annual goals, against which his/her performance will be
constantly monitored. The arrangements for setting up/strengthening the DWDUs/Districst Data Cell will be financially supported by the
Government of India after review of available staff, infrastructure and the actual requirement.
The main functions of DWDU will be as follows:

a) Identify potential Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) in consultation with SLNA as per the empanelment process as decided
by the State Government.
b) Take up the overall responsibility of facilitating the preparation of strategic and annual action plans for watershed development
projects in respective districts.
c) Providing professional technical support to Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) in planning and execution of watershed
development projects.
d) Develop action plans for capacity building, with close involvement of resource organizations to execute the capacity building
action plans.
e) Carry out regular monitoring, evaluation and learning.
f) Ensure smooth flow of funds to watershed development projects.
g) Ensure timely submission of required documents to SLNA /Nodal Agency of the Department at central level.
h) Facilitate co-ordination with relevant programmes of agriculture, horticulture, rural development, animal husbandry, etc with
watershed development project for enhancement of productivity and livelihoods.
148
i) Integrate watershed development projects/plans into District Plans of the district Planning Committees. All expenditure of
watershed project would be reflected in district plans.
j) Establish and maintain the District Level Data Cell and link it to the State Level and National Level Data Centre.
k) Management & coordination for implementation of programme in the district.
9.3 Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions at district and Block levels:
The full responsibility of overseeing the watershed program within the district will lie with the DWDU/DRDA which will work in
close collaboration with the District Planning Committee (DPC). The DPC will provide full governance support to the programme. The
DPC will approve the perspective and annual action plans relating to watershed projects in the district. DPC will integrate the watershed
development plans with over all district plans and also oversee its implementation. DWDU/DRDA will help the DPC in providing
oversight and ensuring regular monitoring and evaluation of the programme. The District Panchayat/Zilla Parishad will have an important
role of governance in matter relating to the co-ordination of various sectoral schemes with watershed development projects, review of
progress, settling disputes etc.
Similarly,Block Panchayats have an important role in planning the watershed development projects at the intermediate level. They
can also provide valuable support to PIAs and Gram Panchayats/Watershed Committees in technical guidance with the help of their
subject matter specialists.
9.4 Institutional Arrangements at Project Level: PROJECT IMPLEMENTING AGENCY (PIA)
SLNA will select and approve the PIAs following appropriate mechanisms for District. PIA’s may include Line Departments,
Autonomous Org. under State/ Central Govt., Govt. Institutions/ Research bodies, Block Panchayats, Voluntary Org. (V.O.’s) However
U.P State is having quite a good no. of regular BSA units functioning in the districts. In majority of the cases they are proposed to Act
as PIA's.
1)PIA i.e. BSA units are having experience in watershed related aspects and management of watershed development programme.
2)PIA/BSA unit will constitute dedicated Watershed Development Teams.
Voluntary Organizations (VOs): Voluntary Organizations will have an important role in the program and their services will be
utilized specially in the areas of awareness generation, capacity building, IEC and social audit among others.Women representative of
VO's will be included in WDT for these activities. The selection of VO's will be done after taking into consideration their expertise on
above aspects as well as in group formation.
It is worth mentioning that the State of U.P has about 200 soil conservation units/BSA units under Command Area Development
Projects of Ramganga and Sharda Sahayak Command along with the Department of Agriculture . As such at this moment the services of
VO's may not be necessary. However for creating awareness, formation of SHGs and UGs, the services of VO's will be taken up and the
panchayat, Govt agency and nominated expertise will work in co-ordination for implementation of the programme .
149
Concerned soil conservation units (BSA Units) which will works as PIA will sign a contract/MOU with the concerned DWDU. It
will spell out well-defined annual outcomes, against which the performance of each PIA/BSA unit will be monitored each year and
evaluated on a regular basis by institutional evaluators from a panel approved by the SLNA / Departmental Nodal Agency at the central
level.
Each PIA must put in position a dedicated watershed development team (WDT) with the approval of DWDU. The WDT will be
constituted out of the staff available with BSA units. As regards Socal /Women members of the WDT, women representative from VO's
will be inducted in the team . The composition of the WDT will be indicated in the contract/MOU. No programme funds as per DPR and
proposed watershed works, under any circumstances would be released to either the PIA or Watershed Committed (WC) unless the
composition of the WDT has been clearly indicated in the MOU/contract and the team members are fully in place.
9.4.1 Roles and Responsibilities of the PIA
The Project Implementing Agency (PIA) will provide necessary technical guidance to the Gram Panchayat for preparation of
development plans for the watershed through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercise, undertake community organization and
training for the village communities, supervise watershed development activities, inspect and authenticate project accounts, encourage
adoption of low cost technologies and build upon indigenous technical knowledge, monitor and review the overall project implementation
and set up institutional arrangements for post-project operation and maintenance and further development of the assets created during the

10.0 “Capacity Building Activities”
Capacity building support is a crucial component to achieve the desire result from Watershed Development Programme. Uttar
Pradesh has the distinction of implementing a large number of watershed projects for a long time and has been addressing the critical
issues associated with the watershed programmes. Participatory watershed management for conserving rain water and other valuable
natural resources is quite promising. New guideline for watershed development programme issued by govt. of India in April 2008 is an
important step to converge, harmonize and rationalize, development of land & water resources.
Capacity building would be a continuous process enabling functionaries to enhance their knowledge and skill and develop the
correct orientation and perspectives thereby becoming more effective in performing their roles and responsibilities.
In execution of Watershed Programme in the past, it has been found that lack of trained personnel’s of implementing agency,
community organization and PRI functionaries has adversely affected the watershed development programme. It has been experienced
that the sanctioned projects are not completed within the time frame and funds are not utilized properly. This is happening due to lack of
proper training, lack of awareness and improper capacity building of above three institutions.
The training programme of watershed development may be divided into two distinct parts, one is formal and the other is informal.
The formal training is to be imparted at the selected institutes and informal training to be provided at the watershed level by the
WDT/Mobile training team during the informal discussions on a weekly or fortnightly basis with the various groups.
Generally no institutional arrangements are required for village level training programmes except than to identify nearby
institution/agency which should be able to provide the institutional support by making available the multimedia and other audio/video
facilities through mobile team.
10.1 - Formal Training
The formal training has to be given in the institutions. This again can be divided into two parts. Some functionaries could be given
training at the district level or at best at a regional level by combining three or four districts by District Training Support Organization.
The other group, like members of WDT, members of PIA, District Watershed Development Unit (DWDU) officers could be provided
training at the state level. It would be useful to organize training workshops at the state and districts for members of Zila Parishad, district
level officers and members of Block Panchayat and Block level officers. The workshop will be common for the elected representatives
and officers so that there is sense of participation in the common programme. The exchange of idea, would also help in taking corrective
measures. One such workshop could be organized every year at State and Commissionary (Divisional level).
156
In the guidelines for watershed developments there is provision for spending 5% of the project cost on training. This should
include expenditure on training of formal and informal of all the functionaries indentified at the micro watershed level as well as
members of DWDU, PIAs and WDTs.
The middle lavel and senior officers in the Project Implementing Agency (PIA) will be trained at state and national level
institutions and agricultural universities for giving a proper importance to technical aspects in the programme.
10.1.1 - Objectives of Formal training :

1. To develop proper conceptual understanding about participatory management of watershed programme.
2. To create necessary skills and competence among the officials and office bearers of PRI/PIA about planning (DPR) and
implementation of various watershed activities.
3. To build necessary confidence, skills and capability among the stakeholders in the efficient management of the watershed
programme.

- Monitoring and Evaluation

It will be ensured that regular monitoring will be done at all levels i.e. watershed, District, Regional level, Department level and
ultimately at state level. Watershed level self monitoring by watershed committee (WC) will have to be done on day to day basis for
execution of various activities. At watershed level WDT will be responsible for reviewing the progress of work on a weekly basis. Project
Implementing Agencies will submit fortnightly progress reports to District Watershed Development unit which will review and submit
monthly report to regional level office i.e. Deputy Director. These reports after compilation of progress of district covered under the
region will be submitted to departmental heads.
It is also expected that the system of on line monitoring will be developed through MIS by providing computers at the level of
Project Implementing Agency (PIA), Regional level, Departmental level and state level. GIS/Web based on line monitoring system will
be developed.
Monthly progress reports will be compiled at the departmental level for their area of jurisdiction and submitted to state level.
The State level nodal agency will review the progress on quarterly basis. After reviewing the progress, a quarterly report will be
submitted to National Rainfed Areas Development Authority.
Thus the different streams and levels of monitoring will be as under:
 On going monitoring by W.C .
 On going Internal Monitoring by WDTs .
 Field visit/ inspections of Departmental Officers/ Specialists or as directed by SLNA
 Submission of monthly progress report by PIA to DWDU/DRDA & to Regional Offices .
 Compilation and submission of Monthly Progress Report To Departmental Nodal Heads i.e. Department of Agriculture
and Administrator Sharda Sahayak & Ramganga Command by concern regional officer’s.
 Compilation of Monthly Progress Report at Departmental Nodal Agency level for onwards submission to S.L.N.A
 Quarterly review of progress by SLNA and its Submission to Nodel Department of GOI.
 Development of MIS & Computerization & Internatting at all levels.
174
Social Audit by Gram Panchyat will also be ensured at the watershed Association/Gram Sabha level by having open monthly
meetings. Efforts will be made to select a team representing women, SC/ST members, SHG/UG member representatives to take social
audits on regular basis to keep constant watch on various project activities. This team will work independently, however members of the
team will be other than the W.C. member.
External Agencies will be identified/ Notified to take up independent monitoring of the project activities from time to time
whose reports will be submitted to departmental heads and suitable remedial measures and corrective action will be ensured. Action taken
on these reports will be submitted to State Level Nodal Agency for their review.
- Evaluation –
SLNA has already identified the institutions and Agencies having expertise in watershed activities to take up evaluation work.
Infact a panel of agencies and institutions will be submitted to National Agency and get it approved by them. Evaluation work will be
assigned to only Approved Agencies.
The Evaluation aspect will include physical, financial issues besides the Social Audit. It is expected that the evaluators will not
act as inspectors but they will be facilitators to PIA’s and watershed committee (W.C.)
Evaluators will emphasize on following up of guide lines for the Watershed Development Activities. This evaluation will be
done annually at every stage of activity and final stages. The release of funds will be based on evaluation reports.
The post project evaluation will be basically to evaluate the outcome of the project activities after the implementation of
project. This will help in assessing the projections made at the formation stage and actual results obtained on various parameters. This
will help in taking up future watershed development activities as per the observation and suggestion of the evaluation agency.

12.0 - Expected outcome of the project
All planned activities under the project will be implemented in the participatory mode for which necessary training for capacity
building of the watershed committee (W.C) has been provided under the project.
 It is expected that the maintenance of the assets created will be taken up with suitable administrative and financial arrangement.
Funds available i.e. watershed development funds (WDF) will be suitably utilized for maintenance.
 The orientation and training provided to the W.C., members and volunteers will improve their skill. It is expected that these
personals are expected to take up follow up and maintenance activities after the withdrawal of the project intervention.
 Self Help Group’s formed during the project implementation are expected to upgrade their skill and take up different types of
Income Generating Activities (IGA). This will provide additional income to the members of the groups and provide support to
improve their social status.
 Various project activities like land development, water harvesting and adopting of improved agricultural practices will help in
1- Increasing the cropping intensity.

2- Increasing the productivity of crops.
This will increase the over all production and add to the income of the beneficiaries
 Implementation of various activities will provide wage labour to landless labourers and the farmer beneficiaries which will
directly add to their one time income. Besides adoption of improved techniques will improve crop yields. This will also add to
the generation of more labour employment which will provide additional income on recurring basis.
 Various activities planned and executed in the project will directly help in rainwater harvesting and recharge of the ground
water. This will improve the ground water level besides providing additional water for irrigation and drinking within the
watershed area.
 Thus it is expected that the watershed development programme undertaken in rainfed areas of the state will help in overall
development of the area and increasing income of the household levels in the watershed areas. The direct benefit that will
accrue will be provision of employment to the local people in implementation of various activities proposed under the project.
178
12.1 Proposed soil and water conservation activities along with improved agricultural practices, which will be promoted under the
project, is likely to improve the productivity & production of different crops by at least 30 to 40 percent .This will improve the income of
farm households. Besides this there will be increase in cropping intensity by at least 20 to 25 percent. The various water harvesting activities
would provide life saving irrigation to various crops, resulting in increase in productivity. With formulation of Self Help Groups under the
project the women and landless labourers, would undertake various income generating activities which will provide employment as well as
income to these groups in the watershed area.
12.2 Plantation and grassland development activities will provide fuel and fodder for which at present the people of the area are
dependent on outside sources. This will also help in overall improvement in the environment .
The state level expected/estimated outcomes (for calculation purpose standard area of 20,000 ha. per Distt. has been taken. as
indicater) in quantitative terms for the project area to be covered in the last three years of 11th Five Year Plan has been given in Table – 12.1
