Other Aspects• Exposure Visit of 23 Farmers on Organic

Farming• Subsequent support in procuring native

vegetable seeds for demonstration• Horticulture saplings provided to supplement

household income.• Plans of land development prepared to be placed

in Gram Sabha under MGNREGS to bring more area under cultivation.

• Catchment (stream shed) protection has been strengthened

• Poor and landless covered through share cropping options through strengthened institutional process.

Difficulties

• To ground benefit sharing mechanism for all

• To arrange construction materials to remote

villages

• To convince for organic farming

• Stony and rocky terrain disturbed trench digging

• Convincing for Podu regulation

• Delay in banking procedurals

Overcoming Strategies

• Convince around “water as village commons”

• Decentralized responsibility to villagers

• Regular meeting

• Exposure visit to best practice areas

• Orientation by Resource Person

• Generating options on the command area

• Regular follow up with bankers

Suggestions

• Should transcend beyond irrigation and meet

other needs such as drinking water and

domestic use.

• Some features must target in developing land.

• Community contribution for better

management and ownership of the assets.

• Some components exclusively for landless.

• Should emphasize catchment protection.

Expected outcome

• Proper land and water management.

• Life saving irrigation.

• Assured irrigation for Rabi and Summer

crops.

• Increased production of vegetables and

cereals crops on the upland.

• Increased household income.

• Strengthened village institution.
