POST PROJECT IMPACT ASSESSMENT
SUJALA I WATERSHED PROJECT - KARNATAKA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction :Karnataka has huge responsibility of meeting the challenges of food se-
curity through sustained agriculture growth. Effective exploitation of natural resources
available has received primacy in planning. Karnataka implemented a World Bank
(IDA ) funded Watershed development project under participatory mode in as many as
742 micro watersheds coming under 77 sub watersheds in 38 taluks of six districts
namely Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Tumkur, Chitradurgarga, Haveri and Dharwad. The project
covered 5.19 lakh hectares of geographical area , benefited over 4.19 lakh households
inhabiting 1270 villages in three phases..
The first phase had a modest target of 10 Sub watersheds while second covered
another 20 Sub watersheds. Major part of the project was implemented in phase III
covering as many as 47 Sub watersheds (over 67% of the all targeted Sub watersheds
and as many as 469 Micro watersheds (out of 742). The project covered about 3.32 lakh
hectares of area under all the three phases with an average of 82% private and 18%
common land.
Project interventions: Over 60 per cent of the investments were earmarked on crea-
tion of watershed treatment structures. Social mobilization and institutional building had
next major share of expenditure (around 15% of the total outlay), followed by Income
generating Activities (around 13%). Overall financial achievement of around 88% fell
short by 12%, mainly on account of lower achievement in respect of Treatment of wa-
tersheds (84%) and farming systems intensification (68% achievement).
Sujala had some unique features in respect of planning, execution, monitoring, cost and
profit sharing aspects with multi agency creation and involvement. Bottom up approach
was the key factor. Non Governmental Organisations played good role and newly cre-
ated community based organizations like Area Groups, use of existing and newly
formed SHGs and specially constituted Executive Committees all became effective
tools for the success of the project. In all around 170,000 farmers were covered under
the 4300 plus Area groups. As many as 741 Executive Committees were formed to
plan and carry out the works . As many as 6640 Self Help Groups were involved (some
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (2)
of them newly formed and many older SHGs). Their role in mobilizing and pooling
human and material resources is more than established.
The project provided Rs 1,162 lakhs for community assets creation under EPA.
Physical achievements: Central focus of the project was to bring about significant
improvements in the land and water resources through need based assessment of
the type and number of civil and vegetative measures. The works comprised desilt-
ing of village ponds (14,600), Revetment (54,900 rmt) / Bunding in 123,735 hectares,
Construction of farm ponds (14,370), as many as 12,200 recharge pits, around 1400 na-
la bunds and check dams, 2,335 mini percolation tanks, around 4.90 lakh RMT meter of
boulder bunds and some repairs to the existing structures.
Knowledge enhancement: Main focus of this project was to motivate communities
inhabiting the watershed villages to assume responsible roles in implementation of the
project. A basic project requirement was to address the issue of lower level of
understanding by the community of the advantages of group actions and their knowledge
enhancement not only through hands on training but also exposure to the new
concepts. This was done through a number of innovative training capsules specially
devised to meet the specific needs of specific groups. As many as 18,651 stake hold-
ers were brought under skill development and another 68,852 were covered under IGA
thus taking the cumulative figure to 87,503.
Monitoring and Learning: The project had an in-built and comprehensive system of
progress/ process monitoring as a part of the implementation . Apart from concurrent
monitoring, the project had scope to use other generally adopted evaluation methods
involving going into the impact -benefit aspect of the project.
The system followed by the ME & L agency included (i) ascertainment of physical tar-
gets and achievements in terms of inputs and outputs expected to be generated under
the phases. This involved collection and collation of periodic data using MIS and GIS
packages. Use of software packages for progress tracking (Sujala Mahiti), audio con-
ferences were some of the most effective methods adopted. Development of special
software package for Action Plans (SWAP) to develop plans for various activities under
the project including micro level (individual unit wise- farmer wise), cost and other related
information helped effective implementation of the projects. Data generated in the form
of process monitoring reports were studied and corrective measures, wherever neces-
sary, were suggested by the M and E agencies / WDD. In addition to the M E & L
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (3)
agency, the Community based organizations were also encouraged to carry out periodical
self assessment of the project in terms of its status, progress, ground level problems /
issues that need to be addressed to and discuss the same in their meetings and arrive
at decisions that best suited to successful implementation of the project.
One of the most satisfying aspect of the project was the adoption of transparency in
all the transactions and activities by all those involved in the project implementation. Ac-
countability and financial management aspects of the project implementation were found
to be highly useful in success of the project
Project Impact: Cost Sharing: The project had emphasis on cost sharing concept as
a key factor in creating (i) sense of responsibility (ii) feeling of ownership of and (iii) obliga-
tion to participate in the development programmes right in their local communities both on
their private/ individual and common resources of livelihood. The basic approach of
social inclusiveness, local participation, and community driven programme was the first
step towards creating favourable condition. Secondly, the institutional arrangement
adopted by the project was a major breakthrough which further strengthened its scope
for easy acceptance by the people. The official functionaries of the department too had
played a crucial role in clearing prevailing disbelief about peoples contribution to their
own community development programme. the Agencies received very good response
and this created conditions for willingness to contribute their share whatever the per-
centages depending upon the nature and type of work and their land holdings status. The
social impact of cost sharing concept on the local community so far as private prop-
erty improvement was concerned, has been very positive and fully successful. How-
ever, the same thing cannot be concluded in respect of community responsibility towards
common property. There appeared to be no commitment built around this concept of
cost sharing for the development of common resources. The concept has been fol-
lowed rather mechanically to fulfill obligation contained in the approved project guidelines
during the project period. Neither specially formed community groups nor elected bod-
ies like panchayats made any objective move towards maintaining the spirit of cost sharing
nor maintaining the structures created under the project.
In case of beneficiary farmers, the prescribed percentage share in the cost of struc-
ture/material/planting material and other elements of cost was collected through a trans-
parent and agreed method in cash and kind. The kind component also included, in
many cases, own labour and material. The mode and method of determining individual
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (4)
contribution was left to the concerned AGs/ and some amount of flexibility and
adjustments could not be ruled out.
Benefit sharing by farmers: Impact study has vividly revealed the significant changes in
the socio-economic aspects of the community groups inhabiting the watershed areas.
The equity issue has received desired focus in the project. The Programme component of
supporting the weaker sections in the non-farm sector has gone a long way in making the
equity objective very popular with rural communities. The project not only supported the ex-
isting SHGs, but also encouraged the formation of new ones by providing revolving fund ,
training for capacity building and skill development. In all 6,640 SHGs representing as
many as 90,000 women members were covered under the project with financial assis-
tance of Rs 75,000 per SHG to be on-lent to its members. Thus, an estimated 65,000
(taking an average of Rs 7,500/-per member) women were facilitated to take up one or
the other economic activities . The SHGs have emerged as very strong micro-economic
institution in providing with gainful economic activities leading to increased household in-
come among vulnerable sections of the village communities. Especially, the women folk
have taken leading interest in making SHGs very strong and sustainable. They are success-
fully managing their micro-financial institutions. Majority of them acknowledged that their
standard of living has improved because of SHGs. They have proved themselves as the
best Managers of their financial institutions. They have realized that the standard of their
food and clothing has improved and they are making use of better health care services and
sending their children to schools instead of putting them to work. Such an improvement was
possible mostly due to SUJALA Project, which added further strength to already existing
SHG movement. This programme has created a visible impact on the life of the women folk
in the rural community. As the managers of their homes they collectively expressed a strong
feeling that because of such programme, today they stand liberated from their men folk as
the sole providers of domestic needs. Some of the case studies illustrated in their reports
proved this trend. The Sujala Policy to involve the SHGs has really added to the popularity
of the scheme as comprehensive social movement to bring about transactions in the quality
of life of all groups of villagers.
Project Impact- Farm Economy: The main objective of the project was to improve
the natural resources and make them more productive to be used for the betterment
and development of the communities. Even within these groups, disparities in benefits
are quite possible due to predominant say of large and medium farmers and those
wielding some influence on the rural communities. The other aspect of the project
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (5)
benefit is coverage of deprived and marginalized sections of the society who deserve
equal if not better deal in benefit distribution. Among the land holders three main
categories are involved in the project implementation, cost and benefit sharing namely,
Marginal farmers, small farmers and large farmers. The direct impact of the project
certainly is expected to be on agriculture, horticulture and other on farm activities.
Intensive Agriculture : cumulative effect of the project interventions is improved moisture
conservation due to measures aimed at checking soil erosion and run off, recharge of
ground water in the selected watershed areas, due to percolation effect and from
availability of water for irrigation wherever farmers have their own irrigation facilities.
Based on the beneficiary study and assessment, it is estimated that an average rise
of 18 to 30 meters could be possible in ground water table but it varies with agro-climatic
zones and amount of precipitation on an year to year basis.
Treatment in arable lands accounted for 270,000 hectares. While the study in respect of
Phases I and II estimated an average crop intensity of 144% (15% over the previous
crop intensity of 129%), under the III phase very moderate increase improvement is vis-
ible in so far as intensity is concerned. The crop intensity of phase III is 117% showing
an increase of 6% over the previous project intensity of 111% Taking weighted aver-
age for all the phases, the crop intensity for the project as a whole could be esti-
mated at 127 per cent (assuming proportion of treated area in different phases to total).
Crop Diversification: Thanks to opening up of markets for wide ranging agriculture
and horticulture products, farmers who had no alternative to low yielding dry land
crops like jowar, ragi, minor millets etc. are now taking high value crops like pulses,
oilseeds groundnut, maize, sunflower and others like vegetables; Fruits (Banana) flowers
etc Increase in the area under oilseeds, pulses and vegetables ranged between 3 to 19
per cent indicating diversion to high income crops (however, area under sunflower had
shown decline in some AC zones during the reference period) (Chapter 3 for details).
..
Yield improvements: yield levels of crops increased at different ranges in different
agro climatic zones. Increase in yield per hectare reported was 27 per cent for cere-
als,37 per cent for pulses, 41 for oilseeds and around 48 per cent in respect of other
crops (Chapter 3 for details).

Contributory Factors: While the above changes are largely on account of interven-
tions under SUJALA, quite a number of other factors seem to have contributed to the
over all improvement in production, yield improvements, crop diversification etc., that
need to be considered in evaluation process. Two important components, namely, adap-
tive research and Farmers Field Schools have been going on both within and outside
the watersheds and are meant to cover entire state and not necessarily restricted to
Watershed areas alone. Therefore, it is a combination of various factors that has worked
under the project. The Rasthriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, The ATMA, the KVKs and similar
other interventions on transfer of technologies also have added to the success of this
project. An analysis of the before and after project scenarios shows there is some
impact of these programmes in ”without Project “ areas also, though the process was
accelerated under SUJALA.
Organic Farming: Karnataka is one of the pioneering states in respect of adoption of
organic farming and in recent years focused programmes are being formulated and
implemented across the state including the watersheds under SUJALA. The project also
included a training capsule on techniques of organic farming. This also has contrib-
uted to reduction in cost and use of fertilizers.
Other Benefits: There is always an urge and need for not only small holders but also
big farmers to enhance income by taking up supplementary land based activities. Dairy
and small animal rearing is almost integral part of the farming systems and it was ob-
served that livestock rearing such as dairy, sheep and goat rearing, fisheries, silk worm
rearing etc provided sizeable income to the farmers. The incremental income averaged
at 71% (Chapter 3 on impact assessment of III phase). Besides, the changed crop-
ping pattern also generated agriculture by products which constitute fodder for cattle.
It was observed that the small and marginal farmers and those owning livestock (both
small and large animal) could maintain their stock with adequate availability of fodder.
Incremental availability of fodder varied among districts and depended on the extent of
community lands, types of tree plantations taken up and types of crop combinations
adopted by the farmers.

Fuel wood and Timber: Implementation of treatment plans incorporating plantation with
forest species such as silver oak, teak, honge, timber and other fuel wood trees formed
an important programme. As a result, the aggregate area under forest tree/ species is
estimated at 29,000 hectares. Even though no yields were reported from these areas, it
is expected that harvesting of some of the forest products would commence in the
coming years, more importantly fruit species like cashew nut, gooseberry and non fruit
species like timber, fuel wood, fodder. Yields can be estimated depending on the year
of harvest/cutting. It is estimated that at full development stage the total volume of
fuel wood, timber and fodder is estimated at Rs 3,850 lakhs annually.
Other allied Activities. Equity being major concern of the project interventions, a num-
ber of activities allied to agriculture also were supported under Income Generating
Activities such as dairy, poultry, sheep and goat rearing, piggery and in some areas,
sericulture and fisheries etc. The IGA package provided scope to such households to
take up one or other income generating activities . Predominantly women dominated
community based organizations, both existing and newly created SHGs were used as
vehicles of change. The interventions were focused on marginal farmers, agricultural
labour, rural artisans and other self employed persons. It was observed that over
23,000 women and other vulnerable group households were motivated through training
and skill development / EDP and other HR programmes and provided financial assis-
tance in the form of revolving fund through Self Help Groups. In all around 6,640 self
Help Groups were covered with membership restricted to 20 and average member-
ship is between 14 dan18, thus covering as many as 80,000 women. Main self em-
ployment activities included tailoring and outfitting, petty shops, repairs and servicing
eateries. For comparatively educated youth opportunities were made available to take
up servicing and computer operation through training and skill development pro-
grammes.
Milk yield : It was observed that average milk yield from milch animals had
increased from 1.70 liters to 2.80 liters/ day in case of local breeds and between 6-7
litres in respect of cross breds. Assuming a lactation of 200-220 days the incremental
milk production from a local milch animal ranged between 350 and 550 liters (200 litres
increase /lactation) valued at Rs 3,000 which added to the family income. Similar in-
crease was also seen in case of cross breds (details in Chapter 3).

Employment: On farm employment generation ranged among zones and averaged
at 45 mandays/hectare or around 21000 mandays/micro watershed. Off farm additional
employment generated was around 29 days. At project level, additional employment in
the on farm sector is estimated at 12.15 million man days/year while it is 1.29 million
mandays/year in respect of off- farm sector.
Besides serving agriculture and drinking water for livestock, some of the minor water
bodies have also become sources of fish production. Aquaculture is part of additional
income to some farmers particularly in eastern and central dry zones. With availability
of fish seed (fries and fingerlings) and technical support & training on improved fish pro-
duction techniques, number of farmers were encouraged to take up fish production in
these mini water bodies. An average farm pond can produce around 25 to 40 kg of fish
valued at Rs. 2000/3000, which is an addition to the family income. In many cases
farmers who produced surplus fodder sold to fellow farmers.
Average Incremental Income: Majority of the landless labour and those belonging to
marginal farmer groups did not have full time employment and consequently meager
incomes, mainly from menial labour which again depended on seasonal fluctuation of
rainfall and agricultural activities. It was estimated that the average labour wages earned
by an individual ranged between Rs 60 and 80 (for males) and Rs 50-70 (for women
labour) with around 90-100 days of employment the year, intermittently. Average in-
come was around Rs 6,000 to 10,000 in respect of male and Rs 5,000 to 7,500 for
women. Instances of such households migrating to nearby villages or towns were ob-
served in all the districts (partial). In case of landless labour who eked out their liveli-
hood mainly on income earned through farm labour (mainly women), their annual in-
come was estimated at Rs 6,000 (100 person days of employment at Rs 60/ day). Due
to her joining the group there was substantial rise in income. Case studies highlighted
that a women member provided with a sewing machine makes around Rs 2,500 per
month and around Rs 30,000 a year. During season she/he has the option to resort
to farm labour too which gets her another Rs 3,000 (assuming increased labour at
Rs 75/- for 40 days / season). Depending on IGA, annual income is estimated in the
range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 35,000/-.

Macro impact: Interventions in the watershed treatments spread over six districts
covered 59,000 hectare of community lands Private lands accounted for 2.73 lakh
hectares. Taking an average per capita holding at 1.95 hectares (for all the six dis-
tricts), the number of farmers benefitted can be estimated at 1.67 lakh, comprising
marginal, small and large farmers (Over 80 per cent of the beneficiaries come under
marginal and small groups). The Cost sharing special study conducted in 16 MWS cov-
ering 3650 farmers also confirmed this figure.
A comparative analysis of Phase I, II and III was carried out using the data from three
sources namely PAD Projections, Antrix Corporation and Phase III analysis, compari-
sons indicated that the PAD projections, the indicators of, Impact assessment in
respect of Phases I and II and those of Phase III are by and large same with very
minor deviations, especially in terms of economic benefits projected by PAD., A
comparative study of Phase I and II and III also indicated the same trend in respect
of economic gains at farmers level, groundwater recharge, IGA beneficiaries and others.
.
Environment benefits: The project interventions provided for plantation of tree crops
under silvi- horti-forestry. The impact from the interventions is improved tree cover, bet-
ter ecological conditions, and biomass production in the long run. Around 88,000
hectares (59,000 ha under horticulture crops and 29,000 ha under forestry), assuming 60%
survival, the effective area could be around 52,000 hectare) out of 519,000 hectares of
geographical area). The cumulative effect is 10% addition to tree cover to the existing
percentage. Additionally, construction of civil structures and repairs to the existing ones
resulted in soil moisture conservation leading to extended availability of water for tak-
ing additional crop or two short duration crops (However, this was observed only in
few cases during the survey). Extended period of water availability ranged between 2 to
2.5 months. Farmers survey indicated that Soil erosion has reduced by about 30-40
per cent over previous percentage (3.5% to 2.5%) (Chapter 3). .
Sustainability: Rural development projects with community participation and manage-
ment generally are confronted with the issue of sustainability in the post implementation
period due to lack of interest and initiative of the communities. The same is true to
some extent, in case of this project also. Even though success stories are seen here
and there, a general pessimism pervades across the watersheds under study. SUJALA
is a multi agency dependent project involving village communities.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (10)
The project also assumed that the maintenance of the structures created would be
taken over by CBOs with the assistance of Panchayats once they are handed over and
such structures would be properly maintained. The user groups when working were
expected to generate adequate savings/ revenues to meet the maintenance cost and
build up some resources and the Panchayats would ensure this happening. As a re-
sult, the worst sufferers were community lands where a number of interventions were
initiated and completed with the involvement of the community, but the structures created
are not being adequately maintained. While plantations in private holdings are expected
to be maintained, the same in community lands face the risk of being neglected and
eventually get degraded.
Financial: At individual level, it was observed that financial sustainability was achieved
by large majority of farmers irrespective of their size of holdings. Crop diversification,
cropping intensity enhancement have been possible and the levels of outputs per unit
of holding or per unit of productive asset (like milk production in case of dairy) have
been sustained over a period of time due to the initial interventions and efforts put in
by the project.
Institutional : The project heavily relied on community approach to management and
sought active participation right from the stage of planning, selection of interventions,
execution, monitoring progress and self assessment. This system worked well during
the currency of the project. The CBOs were expected to develop into a type of per-
manent bodies to look after the development and management of community assets/
properties and build their own resources from the profits generated as a result of the
project interventions. But could not sustain and survive beyond project period in gen-
eral, with few exceptions. The withdrawal brought in gradual liquidation of these insti-
tutions one after the other since there was no financial stake nor a common cause.
The role of NGOs was very prominent and to a large extent they performed their ob-
ligations in motivating and bringing the individuals to the community groups to ensure
sustainability of the project. The NGOs left the scene in the post project period since
their involvement was only up to the withdrawal stage. There are cases where AGS
are still functional but their activities have changed to collective borrowing from the
banks on SHGs pattern. Even these surviving institutions are not serious nor have any
inclination to maintain community / common lands but are engrossed only in getting
financial support from the banks and other lending institutions . Therefore, sustainability
of these institutions largely hinges on the financial interest and financial stakes of
individual members and not otherwise.

CBOs: Mobilisation process of rural communities in Karnataka, was already set in motion
by various development programmes especially the SHGs as the micro-credit system meant
for vulnerable sections of villages, particularly among the women folk and labour class. It
was at this point of time “Sujala” project came into force with its policy thrust on social mobi-
lization for local community participation in planning, executing, monitoring and maintaining
the productive assets created in the selected watersheds. This further, added to the intensi-
fication of social mobilization for over all development of the rural communities. Therefore, it
was easy way for NGO and DWD agencies to adopt and practice social mobilization efforts
among village communities of selected watersheds. The message of new approach of Su-
jala Project with the locally based institutions like the Area groups and the Executive Coun-
cils with required responsibility and power to plan, execute and monitor the development of
their own local resource-private as well as community-was something which brought enthu-
siastic response from the villagers. This initial success augured well for the ultimate success
of the Sujala Project; because it was the base on which community driven concept of the
project had been practiced. Credit for this initial success should go to the field functionaries
of the DWD. For having worked in the area, they were already conversant with the bio-
physical and socio-economic environment which had influenced the village communities.
This knowledge helped them to approach the villagers with the new message of the SUJALA
project.
NGO: Since the participation of the villagers had to be real and effective in all the processes
of the project implementation, such as planning, budgeting, execution and monitoring, the
local people needed services of the NGOs continuously. The NGOs have met this require-
ment very successfully by playing their designated role effectively. They have functioned as
the motivators and organizers of community groups educators and trainers for capacity
building among the beneficiaries and coordinators of field functionaries of Govt and the local
groups in executing the programmes. Some of them are reported to have been best in their
role in bringing unity of purpose, understanding and functioning among the community
stakeholders – individuals’ community groups of all categories.

In Conclusion:
� A multi agency participatory project of this nature and magnitude throws many
challenges in the course of its implementation. In general, the community
approach to project implementation has been a great success;
� Variations are observed between SWAP and actual works completed in all the
sub watersheds in respect of I and II Phases;
� The project has generally succeeded in ensuring equitable sharing of cost and
benefits among different sections of the communities; However, there seems to
be no relation between the size of holding and contribution in terms of cost shar-
ing since it depended on type of intervention availed by individual farmer;
� Highest percentage of beneficiaries belonged to small holders groups in re-
spect of on- farm interventions indicating that the benefit spread was horizontal.
The objective of restoring/ rejuvenating natural resources is largely fulfilled;
� Economic gains from the project are significant and have boosted the house-
hold income across the watersheds –both in respect of landed and landless
community members;
� A very positive impact is seen among the community groups understanding
and knowledge enhancement, inclusive approach and mutual understanding for
a common cause as is evidenced from near total absence of local differences
and issues;
� The social objective of better equity among partners is discernible and augurs
well for all the future interventions;
� On the economic front, very encouraging changes are seen in respect of crop-

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Overview
With over 70 per cent of its agriculture dependent on rains and dry land farming pre-
dominating agrarian economy, Karnataka has huge responsibility of meeting the
challenges of food security through sustained agriculture growth. Harnessing and effec-
tive exploitation of natural resources available in the ten agro climatic zones has re-
ceived primacy in planning. Among various measures, Karnataka has adopted Water-
shed Development in line with national strategy for accelerated growth and sustainable
crop yields from dry land agriculture. Watershed based planning and development is
over a quarter century old in the state.
While significant improvements in the living standards of rural masses are taking place,
Karnataka implemented a unique World Bank (IDA) funded Watershed development pro-
ject under participatory mode under which the stake holders were provided opportunities
to actively involve themselves in all the processes of project implementation. The pro-
ject was implemented between 2002 and 2009 in three Phases (I, II and III) in as many
as 742 micro watersheds coming under 77 sub watersheds in 38 taluks of six districts
namely Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Tumkur, Chitradurgarga, Haveri and Dharwad. The project
covered 5.19 lakh hectares of land under treatment, benefited over 4.19 lakh house-
holds inhabiting 1270 villages.
An External agency (ANTRIX Corporation Bangalore) was engaged to provide expert
service in respect of Monitoring and evaluation of the project. The Corporation conducted
evaluation study of two phases namely Phases I and II. In respect of Phase III, the ser-
vices of Agricultural Finance Corporation were engaged for post project impact evalua-
tion. Broad scope of the study are:
1) Assess the flow of project benefits to farmer and non farmer groups through
desk work in respect of Phase I and II using the M and E and MIS data. For
phase III relevant field data to be collected from project areas using statistically
sound sampling frame and follow a comparable methodology for earlier work
done in the project. For all the three phases, the project fund flow will be eva-
luated on an aggregate level and levels of benefit per hectare of land based on
farm holding size. Non farmer groups will focus mainly on SHGs.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (2)
2) Quantification of cost sharing among community groups - contributions through
desk analysis for earlier phases and for phase III, relevant field data will be col-
lected from project areas as in the above case;
3) Carrying out impact evaluation by developing estimates of phase III impacts
based on field work to complement existing data from M and E agency. This will
cover social, economic and environmental indicators. Brief report will be prepared
on key impacts from Phase III and identify major differences between three
phases.
The study was taken up from middle of May 2011. An Interim Report was submitted
during July 2011 and presented before the committee and representatives of World
Bank. Field surveys and FGDs were held between June and July 2011. A Draft
Report was presented on 29th August 2011. Suggestions made by the WDD were
considered. In view of special focus on cost sharing, a detailed study of cost sharing in
respect of 14 selected micro watershed (about 30 per cent of the sample MWS covered
under survey) was carried out. Available data was collected from WDD and Antrix Cor-
poration for analysis and preparation of the Final Report.
.
The consultant is grateful to the WDD for entrusting this task and supporting the study
team with cooperation and making available data. During the field visits the District
level officials provided excellent cooperation and supported the team in field visits by
the survey and core teams. This deserves to be placed on record. Some NGOs asso-
ciated with the implementation shared their experiences and provided valuable inputs to
enhance the quality of the analysis. These NGO deserve special commendation.

CHAPTER 2
METHODOLOGY
Study Perspective
The main focus of the project is on enhancing production and productivity, resource use
maximization and community benefits at all levels and mainstreaming private participation.
Major thrust is on peoples’ participation in wide ranging processes and activities in for-
mulation, execution, supervision, monitoring and evaluation of watershed project, achiev-
ing production and productivity gains by way of backward and forward linkages and ensure
equity in benefit sharing by all the communities inhabiting the water shed villages by
providing complementary incomes and multiple activities that provide avenues of income
and employment to the vulnerable groups, more specifically women and other marginal-
ised communities.
Basic objective of the study is to assess overall impact of the participatory project
interventions aimed at improving natural resources use, enhanced agricultural activities,
yield increases, employment generation, soil and water management, equity in benefit
sharing by communities in the water shed areas, poverty alleviation, and identify is-
sues that need to be addressed in future projects
Study approach and methodology
In order to meet the above objectives, and cover the three broad areas namely
(i) Cost sharing by the beneficiaries and non beneficiaries;
(ii) Benefit sharing by the communities;
(iii) Impact of interventions on land, soil, water, agriculture and allied activities,
technology adoption, income and employment generation
AFC evolved proper sequencing of steps with the objective of meaningful use of time. A
multi disciplinary team of experts 1/
was constituted to carry out the task To support this
core team, a six-member field investigating team to perform assessment at grass root level
was also put in place. The team spent quite some time with the District level functionar-
ies of the Watershed Development Department.

As per Terms of Reference, some available information on the first and second phase
project implementation and other details were collected at the State Directorate of Wa-
tershed Development. Desk - based analysis of empirical data was carried out.
The consultant had to cover all stake holders and players in the project implementation
at different levels , mainly at District/ sub water/ micro watershed levels. To meet this
requirement, following steps were taken to collect relevant secondary data: Devising
checklist/ questionnaires/ schedules to elicit information from
i) District Watershed Development Officers
ii) Field NGOs
iii) Self Help Groups
iv) AGs/ECs/ Panchayats
Core team met and held the following officials

Primary Survey
Major task of the consultant was generating first hand / primary information from the pro-
ject beneficiaries across the six districts. This comprised (i) Farmers survey (ii) survey
of IGA beneficiaries (iii) survey of selected Self Help Groups (SHGs). Understanding
ground realities was of immense importance to arrive at conclusions. The core team under-
took extensive field visits to large number of villages and watersheds in the six study districts
in two spells.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (5)
Beneficiary Survey
This included survey of landed beneficiaries and landless beneficiaries.
Beneficiary survey was conducted as per sampling strategy adopted in respect of
Phases I and II. The Third Phase covered 47 sub water sheds and 460 micro water-
shed blocks. The M and E L Agency (ANTRIX Corporation) had covered around 10 per
cent of the micro water sheds in 9 sub water sheds. While the same 10% norm was
followed in respect of micro watersheds, it was decided to give wider representation by
covering all the 47 sub watersheds and one Micro watershed from each SWS. Thus,
47 Micro water sheds were selected for detailed farmers studies. In each of the micro
watersheds, between 30 and 35 beneficiary farmers were covered aggregating to 1,325
beneficiaries. Survey work was started on 15th June 2011 and was completed by third
week of July 2011 by six investigators 2/ .Field visits by core team were taken up in
three laps between 15th June 2011 and 15th July 20113

SHGs
One to one interactions with SHG members were held in all the six districts and cov-
ered as many as 60 SHGs .
IGA Beneficiaries
In each Micro watershed between 2 to 3 IGA beneficiaries were covered under pri-
mary survey while group discussions with equal number were also held .
Project Implementing Agencies
They included DWDO officials NGOs and AGs. The primary one to one discussion in-
cluded collection of information in questionnaires devised for this purpose. In all 25
DWDO officials, and 6 NGOs were covered under the survey.
In addition, DWDO officers in all the six districts were provided with questionnaires with
a request to provide useful information on various aspects of project implementation
and their opinions and views were recorded 4/.
Focussed Group Discussions
Apart from the one to one interviews conducted with the above, good number of
FGDs with the scheme beneficiaries formed the agenda for the team in all the districts.
Discussions with the District Watershed Development officials involved in project imple-
mentation were held in two spells - the first during the conduct of beneficiary survey
and the second after its completion .
Visits to civil structures both in private and community lands were also made to as-
certain types, adequacy, present status, maintenance of the same. Interactions were
held with the villagers and field functionaries of the DWDOs in respective districts.
The surveys involved collection of primary data through questionnaires/response sheets.
Recall method formed the basis of information gathering.

Thus, the consultant could document benefits accrued at grass root level viz., income,
employment, social capital etc. Important indicators were developed for each of the ob-
jectives/ activities to ascertain the degree of success achieved and tangible and intan-
gible benefits that accrued both at micro and macro levels.
Cost sharing –Special study
Major thrust of the project was on cost sharing by the communities, from the point of
view of future strategies, besides serving as a test case of committed community
participation. Therefore, in addition to the overall assessment of the response to this
concept, and at the suggestion of the WDD the consultant carried out detailed study
of 16 selected micro watersheds (two to three in each of the six districts) representing
around 30% of the total sample MWSs. Under this study, all details relating to the
types of works, number of structures were studied together with project contribution, cost
sharing and overall share in respect of marginal, small and large farmers.
Others
The team undertook desk analysis of the phase I and II reports wherever available,
(mainly Project Appraisal Document (PAD) of the World Bank, Impact assessment re-
port from ANTRIX Corporation (both Mid Term and Final Reports), Research papers,
MIS Reports for I II and III phases, Implementation Completion Report (ICR) of the
WDD, collected other secondary data from the Departments of Agriculture and Horticul-
ture/ Forestry to vet the findings and survey outputs in respect of yields, production,
cropping pattern and related information
Limitations
During the process of conduct of the study the consultant had to confront a number of
limitations / deficiencies in data availability. Besides, the farmers surveys had certain
problems in terms of capturing data from the respondents. Since the process involved
recall method, very few farmers could remember about their activities before project
implementation due to time lag. To this extent, there could be some deficiencies in
arriving at net incremental yield, income and employment.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (11)
Due to elapse of time, data at sub watersheds and districts was not available
uniformly and wherever it was received, there were many discrepancies and data
gaps.
Due to the transfer of the departmental personnel from the watershed areas as a
routine departmental procedure, the one to one and one to many interactions with officials
could not be held fully and the consultant had to contend with available staff .
No useful information could be gathered from the Community Based Organisations,
more specifically the AGs and ECs in view of their not functioning and the consultant
had limited option to interact with the SHGs and Panchayats.
Since NGOs involved in the project implementation had withdrawn their staff from the
area, important input from them in terms of the ground realities and constraints and
problems in mobilizing and sustaining the CBOs could not be gathered. However, due
to good offices of district in charges of the WDD some of them were requested to meet
the team and provide some useful inputs to arrive at conclusions.

CHAPTER 3
SUJALA - AN OVERVIEW
Project Development Objectives
As per IBRD Appraisal report the key development objective of the project was to
improve productive potential of selected watersheds including the other natural and
human resources, with active participation of local communities. The other objectives
included (i) Improve production and productivity of agriculture lands (ii) Reduce poverty
through large scale income generating activities (iii) increase the productivity of non ar-
able lands (iv) Improve skills levels of the stake holders with a view to enabling them to
take up self employment activities, especially focusing on vulnerable sections of the so-
ciety including gender development (v) develop and strengthen community based or-
ganizations (CBOs) at grass root levels to ensure sustainability of the project.
The project aimed at expanding and up-scaling of areas of operation in a gradual
manner so that lessons learnt could be addressed to and improvements in delivery sys-
tem brought out.
An important feature of SUJALA was its participatory approach under which communi-
ties were fully involved right from planning till completion of the project interventions.
During the first few months, the communities were trained and educated on participa-
tory implementation through various publicity and propaganda measures, street plays,
wall writings, display boards, exhibition of beneficiaries lists and circulation of handouts
which made the people to understand SUJALA in its spirit and Mission.
Project implementation
The first phase had a modest target of 10 Sub watersheds (around 12% of the total)
while second covered another 20 Sub watersheds (around 25% of the total). Major part
of the project was planned and implemented under Phase III covering as many as 47
Sub watersheds (over 67% of all targeted Sub watersheds and as many as 469 Micro
watersheds (out of 742) forming about two thirds of the project targets. Thus, Phase III
assumes greater importance from the point of view of impact evaluation (details vide

Classification wise Land Treated
It is useful to look at the break up of land treated under Phase III to assess the eco-
nomic and other gains expected to accrue in short and long run periods (as in the case
of plantation and forestry plantations whose gestation period is longer, spreading over
many years). It would also be relevant to study the sustainability and post project
maintenance aspects envisaged in the project.

Project Interventions (Financial)
It was observed that over 60 per cent of the investments were earmarked on creation
of different watershed treatment structures like soil and water conservation structures
both in private and community lands, vegetative plantations etc. In view of major role of
community groups in project implementation, social mobilization and institutional building
had next major share of expenditure (around 15% of the total outlay), followed by Income
generating activities (around 13%). Farming systems intensification accounted for about
4% of the project expenditure.
In terms of financial achievement, the targets fell short at an overall achievement of
around 88%, mainly on account of lower than average achievement in respect of treat-
ment of watersheds (84%) and farming systems intensification (68% achievement).

Participatory Project Implementation
Though participatory project implementation is not new to the state, Sujala had some
unique features in respect of planning, execution, monitoring, cost and profit sharing
aspects with multi agency creation and involvement. As in other cases, bottom up
approach which has come to be regarded as most effective system, was the key factor
that ensured successful implementation, effective monitoring and inclusive coordination.
The time tested approach of involving Non Governmental Organisations paid rich divi-
dends in successful implementation of the project at all levels and therefore role of NGOs
together with newly created community based organizations like Area Groups, use of
existing and newly formed SHGs and specially constituted Executive Committees all

Self Help Groups
These grass root level institutions have carved niche for themselves in the rural eco-
nomic scenario in recent years and are regarded as prime movers in any social de-
velopment activity. Their role in mobilizing and pooling human and material resources
is more than established by now. The project, therefore, roped in this institution for
participatory implementation and as many as 6,641 SHGs were involved in the imple-
mentation, again major share accounted for during phase III of the project as indi-
cated in the following Table:

Each Group was encouraged to limit the membership to 20, as a result, in a vil-
lage more number of SHGs were formed or those existing prior to implementation of
the project were involved . Since the membership of each SHGs had a ceiling, addi-
tion of new members was not possible. A revolving fund of Rs 75,000 was provided
to each of the selected SHGs. Thus, an estimated Rs 49.80 crores was put at the dis-
posal of the SHGs by way of Revolving Fund which could be used by the SHGs to
on-lend to their members. It was observed that such benefit was restricted to Rs
7,500 per member and thus facilitating as many as 66,000 members to take up self
employment
Area Groups
These were special vehicles to deliver the project activities and programmes in partici-
patory mode under which all activities relating to the project planning, execution moni-
toring and self evaluation were vested with these groups. They consisted members
owning lands and covered an average of 100 to 120 hectares. Each MWS had one
or more such groups working. In all 4,311 such groups were formed with over two
thirds accounting for in respect of III phase.

Each Area Group had around 40 members (land owners of different size groups and

were covered under the 4,300 plus Area Groups.
What was more important, clarity and transparency of roles and responsibilities of vari-
ous players in the project was more visible. Since the role of community was central to
the project and the bottom up approach ruled the decisions, it can be safely said that
the project success was not only quantitative but also qualitative.

Executive Committees.
These committees had representatives from different institutions such as AGs, SHGs,
Panchayats and they were responsible for formulation, implementation of the SWAP
and deciding on IGA , EPA and other programmes. Each group had one Executive
Committee comprising 14 members representing from the community based organiza-
tions as above.
The main agenda of these committees was to carry out works and approve expendi-
ture for various programmes including income generating activities.
Entry Point Activities
Village communities need motivation to take initiative in participatory processes of
development projects. One such way of motivating the people is meeting some of their
community needs. As the title goes, Entry point goes a long way in roping in villagers
in Indian context and therefore, this component creates some background for the
things to be achieved. In recent years this strategy has helped PIAs/ Governments in
seeking and ensuring peoples participation in community projects. Each Panchayat may
have more than one village whereas MWS may cover only one village. Therefore, the
project provided funds to each of the village irrespective of whether they are covered
under MWS or not. This project intervention in case of SUJALA also helped in suc-
cessful mobilization of communities . Phase- wise and district-wise money spent on EPAs
show that over 70 per cent of the money was spent during Phase III.

Interactions with village communities indicated that they were very much appreciative of
this gesture on the part of the project since the money earmarked for this purpose was
spent to the benefit and use of the community at large. It was also observed that the
Southern Dry Zone namely Kolar (subsequently divided into two districts) had a major
share. It was also observed that most of the EPAs were taken up during III phase
(almost about 70 percent of the amount spent under the project). An amount of Rs 1.00
lakh was provided to each of the Village on an average with some variations between
them.

Central focus of the project was to bring about significant improvements in the land
and water resources through need based assessment of the type and number of civil
and vegetative measures. With a view to achieving this objective project took up works
on the selected private and community lands coming under the selected micro water-
sheds.

In case of common lands, major works included repairs to check dams, construction of
nala bunds, mini percolation tanks, check dams while major works carried in private
lands included bunds, revetments, boulder bunds, ravine reclamation, recharge pits
(bore well and open well recharge) etc.
Phase wise achievements indicate that the project activities intensified only from 2006
through 2008 while during 2004 no activities were reported and in the next year a small
beginning was made. Interactions with the CBOs and WDD staff indicated that com-
munity mobilization and formation of groups and CBOs took considerable amount of
time (as can be seen from the details of CBOs formed during the third phase)
In respect of Phases I and II there was variation between the SWAP and actual
works executed. The percentage of shortfall ranged between 20 to 30.
Knowledge Enhancement
Main focus of this project was to motivate communities inhabiting the watershed villages
to assume responsible roles in implementation of the project. A number of other pro-
grammes implemented earlier had helped the community mobilization process and this
project gave further impetus. A basic project requirement was to address the issue of
lower level of understanding by the community of the advantages of group actions and
their knowledge enhancement not only through hands- on- training but also exposure to
the new concepts. This was done through a number of innovative training capsules
specially devised to meet the specific needs of specific groups.

As many as 18,651 stake holders were brought under skill development and another
68,852 were covered under IGA, thus taking the cumulative figure to 87,403 (around
40% of 2.25 lakh targeted households) in the three phases with major share in the
third phase (72%). Specially devised modules included in the following Matrix:

It was observed that these programmes also included visits to adjoining watersheds suc-
cessfully completed with community participation. Common issues and topics covered
included understanding of SUJALA concepts, roles and responsibilities of the commu-
nity, gender issues, resources management, social and environmental safeguard is-
sues etc.
The surveys and Focused Group Discussions with cross sections of the community
confirmed the fact that wide spread effect of the training programmes was visible
among beneficiaries as also project implementing NGOs and CBOs (Details discussed
in working paper on beneficiary survey).
Physical Achievements
The Third phase had a target to cover a geographical area of 3.32 lakh hectares
(forming about 62% of the total area). The estimated treatable area was around 2.84 lakhs
of which area covered under various treatments (both in arable and non arable ar-
eas, Government and private lands ) was 2,18,447 hectares, or around 77% of treatable
area was covered.

Project Monitoring and Evaluation and Learning
It was observed that the project had an in-built and comprehensive system of progress/
process monitoring as a part of the implementation. Apart from concurrent monitoring,
the project had scope to use other generally adopted evaluation methods involving
going into the impact - benefit aspect of the project.
The system followed by the ME L agency included (i) ascertainment of physical targets
and achievements in terms of inputs and outputs expected to be generated under the
phases. This involved collection and collation of periodic data using MIS and GIS pack-
ages. Use of software packages for progress tracking (Sujala Mahiti) and audio con-
ferences were some of the most effective methods adopted.
Development of special Software Package for Action Plans (SWAP) to develop plans
for various activities under the project including micro level (individual unit wise- farmer
wise), cost and other related information helped effective implementation of the projects.
It was also observed that physical verification through personal visits of concerned
officials and the M & E agency and documentation of the physical targets and progress
including measurements etc were carried out to ensure that the project activities are
followed as per plans developed earlier. Data generated in the form of process moni-
toring reports were studied and corrective measures wherever necessary, were sug-
gested by the M and E agencies / WDD.
An Impact / Benefit assessment exercise was carried out by ANTRIX Corporation
(a unit of Indian Space Research Organisation –ISRO) Bangalore as a part of M E and
L for the first and second phases of the project implementation. It was also gathered
(during interactions with the District Watershed Officers/ Sub Water shed officers of se-
lected SWS visited by AFC team) that some of the quick impressions and issues to be
addressed were taken into consideration while implementing the third phase of the
project.
In addition to the M E & L agency, the Community Based Organizations were also
encouraged to carry out periodical self assessment of the project in terms of its sta-
tus, progress, ground level problems / issues that need to be addressed to and discuss
the same in their meetings and arrive at decisions that best suited to successful imple-
mentation of the project.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (29)
One of the most satisfying aspect of the project was the adoption of transparency in
all the transactions and activities by all involved in the project implementation. Account-
ability and financial management aspects of the project implementation were found to
be highly useful in multi-faceted success of the project such as (i) mutual trust and
understanding among the individuals and groups, and groups & NGOs and NGOs &
Watershed Department.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (30)
IMPACT ASSESSMENT ( Phase III )
Impact assessment is divided into three major sections namely (i) Cost sharing by
the beneficiaries (ii) Benefit sharing by the beneficiaries and equity aspects and
(iii) Impact of the project on the farming and other village communities. For the purpose of
impact analysis, it is necessary to review the interventions taken up in all the phases
and analyse their status and impact on the selected watersheds namely:
1 Cost Sharing
The project had placed emphasis on cost sharing concept as a key factor in creat-
ing (i) sense of responsibility (ii) feeling of ownership and (iii) obligation to participate in
the development programmes right in their local communities both on their private/ indi-
vidual and common resources of livelihood. But this concept has always been a difficult
process to be implemented in the field because of some of the mental and material
constraints prevailing in the local communities. The socio political mindset prevalent in
the rural community acts as an obstacle to accept this proposal willingly.
Firstly there is very strong notion held in common that any programme sponsored by the
Government should be totally funded by itself and local communities do not have any
obligation to share the cost. Secondly, the prevailing conditions of poverty in rural areas
prevent them from accepting this concept spontaneously. Thirdly, local communities do
not generally trust the financial estimates of project work prepared by the Government
agencies for which they are supposed to make their contributions and this disbelief
plays crucial adverse role in creating unwillingness to share the cost. Thus it is their
mental condition more than material status that acts as an obstacle to accept the
cost sharing responsibility in its letter and spirit. This explanation is considered as
necessary backdrop to understand the impact of Sujala project in this regard. The basic
approach of social inclusiveness, local participation, and community driven programme
was the first step towards creating favourable condition. Secondly, the institutional ar-
rangement adopted by the project was a major breakthrough which further strengthened
its scope for easy acceptance by the people. Thirdly, the role of NGOs in giving proper
training and guiding them in all processes of planning, implementation and monitoring
brought a new thinking among the local people about cost sharing. Particularly, the finan-
cial transparency which was demonstrated in all its forms nullified whatever misgivings
the people suffered with. The official functionaries of the department too had played a
crucial role in clearing prevailing disbelief about peoples contribution to their own
community development programme.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (31)
For the first time the Agencies received very good response and this created condi-
tions for willingness to contribute their share whatever the percentages depending upon
the nature and type of work and their land holdings status. Hence cost sharing has been
effectively implemented during phase III . The social impact of cost sharing concept on
the local community so far as private property improvement was concerned, has been
very positive and fully successful. However, the same thing cannot be concluded in re-
spect of community responsibility towards common property. There appeared to be no
commitment built around this concept of cost sharing for the development of common
resources. The concept has been followed rather mechanically to fulfill obligation con-
tained in the approved project guidelines during the project period. But it is glaringly
ignored by the community groups though there are few exceptions where due to ef-
forts of local community leaders, NGOs and DWDD officials, common properties like
forest plantations have been successfully maintained. The project focused on training and
awareness creation among the people about the social responsibility of cost sharing in
respect of common properties but there is no discernible change in the mindset of the
community as yet. Neither specially formed community groups nor elected bodies like
panchayats made any objective move towards maintaining the spirit of cost sharing nor
maintaining the structures created under the project.
Status and process
The project cost had an inbuilt arrangement of sharing of costs by the beneficiaries.
Beneficiary contribution was a pre condition in the project. In respect of direct benefici-
aries of the works to be taken up in their holdings, the rates were fixed as per
norms and were strictly followed. The prescribed ratios were as shown in Table 20.

Contributions were collected from the farmers depending on the type of structure and
eligibility on the basis of their holdings ranging between 10 and 35 per cent of the cost.
The inbuilt system of collecting contribution from the beneficiaries through the AGs/
ensured hassle free implementation of all the works. In case of beneficiary farmers, the
prescribed percentage share in the cost of structure/ material/ planting material and other
elements of cost was collected through a transparent and agreed method. The contri-
bution included cash and kind component aggregating to the prescribed percentage.
The kind component also included, in many cases, labour and material (cement,
bricks, stones and other construction material locally available). The mode and method
of determining individual contribution was left to the concerned AGs/ and some amount
of flexibility and adjustments could not be ruled out. Once cash component was de-
termined, the concerned farmer was required to deposit the amount in the designated
bank account. Once the work was approved in the EC, the beneficiary was paid full
amount of the cost after due process of check measurement and quality certification
by the WDD staff. It was observed that since the onus of payment of individual contri-
bution was on the beneficiary, no delays were caused in executing the work since the
beneficiaries were too willing to pay their contribution in return of which they would be
reimbursed full cost of the work. As such cost sharing arrangement was successfully
and effectively implemented in respect of private lands.
Cost sharing Pattern - Special study
A special study of cost sharing was carried out in addition to the sampled beneficiar-
ies. This covered 16 Micro watersheds in six districts and around 3570 farmers com-
ing under Marginal, Small and large farmer categories. Average cost per category of
farmer and overall average of the contribution from the project, contribution from individual
beneficiaries and total cost were studied. The following was the pattern of cost sharing.

The project had spent an amount of Rs 186.12 lakhs among 2650 beneficiaries in se-
lected 12 micro watersheds with per capita project contribution of Rs 11,234 in case
of large farmer, Rs 6,146 in case of small farmer and Rs 4,615 in case of marginal
farmer. Individual contribution in respect of large small and marginal farmers were
Rs 2982, Rs 1521 and Rs 1049 respectively. It was also observed that this was, more
or less, nearer to the findings of the general survey of the 1,325 farmers where con-
tributions from the in respect of large, small and marginal farmers were Rs 3,250,
2,080 and Rs 980 respectively).

Cost Sharing -Common Lands
In the case of community lands where works were taken up ( such works were to be
benefiting certain section of the communities under EPA), there was general and positive
response from the families to share the cost. But, in other cases there was general
reluctance among the villagers to bear cost and therefore, AGs/ECs had to try very
hard to convince the communities on the advantages and need for contribution. Contribu-
tions from the community could not be enforced on account of lack of willingness. Never-
theless, small token per household was collected from each family irrespective of the
benefit accrual by the Area Groups to pool some common fund to meet the project
requirement of 10% of community contribution. In a few cases AGs did generate re-
sources to meet margin requirement for works in CPRs. By and large, In such cir-
cumstances, some kind of “adjustments” could not be avoided . But Overall, concept
of cost sharing was generally acceptable to the communities and was successfully
implemented. The strategies adopted in sharing of cost by the community have largely
succeeded.
Overall performance in respect of sharing of cost for community land was not effec-
tive. The collection of contribution from the beneficiaries had been effective only in
Phase III. In case of Phases I and II it was reported to be not effective and could
not be implemented.. This was a major change in the working of the project in
Phase-III.
Since the type of structures necessary on the land was major criterion, the cost shar-
ing cannot strictly be related to size of holdings.
The Social and Environmental Study Report (TERI) had found that farmers had ex-
pressed their unwillingness to contribute any cash towards their share while majority of
them had agreed for kind component like labour. However, the successful implementa-
tion of cost sharing in phase III demonstrated that given proper training, awareness
and motivation, the stake holders could be persuaded to part with their contribution in
cash also as was evidenced .
In many cases a number of farmers whose holdings fell within the micro water sheds
refused to make any contribution towards their share of the cost and the AGs/ ECs had
to exclude them from treatment plans. .

2 Benefit Sharing by Farmers
The study has vividly revealed the significant changes in the socio-economic conditions of
the community groups inhabiting the watershed areas. Significant improvement in socio-
economic conditions are observed among all categories of villagers namely marginal, small
and large farmers owning land and labourers, artisans, petty traders, service categories of
land-less class. The average household income has registered 30 to 40 percent increase
during the project period in case of land owners and around 40-45 per cent in case of
landless IGA beneficiaries. It has also manifested in the improvement in the material condi-
tions (life style) of villagers viz. food, clothing, shelters, health care, schooling for children
etc., indicating reduction in poverty. One aspect that points to the equity is the spread
of benefits. By and large, between 50 and 60 per cent of the beneficiaries belonged to
small holders groups across the MWSs who derived economic benefits in terms of in-
cremental yield from their small holdings and additional employment to their family
members.
The equity issue has received needed focus in the project. The size of holding was taken as
main basis of deciding the type of works to be undertaken on their farm and the quantum of
financial support provided by the Sujala Project. The capping of the area and per hectare
eligibility has resulted in judicious use of resources in horizontal manner. That is, the
need to adopt the principle of equity to reach out to the economically and socially weaker
sections including women members was recognized, accepted and favoured by the commu-
nity at large. That all the Government sponsored development programmes had to follow
the equity norm effectively is known to the people and they have reached a stage of making
their rightful claim in this regard. What is required is the institutional arrangement to take the
benefits to really deserving groups. And the “Sujala Project “ had made such an institutional
mechanism of socially inclusive participatory model to work. And this has really worked ef-
fectively and so the equity objective is by and large successfully achieved. It is observed in
almost all watersheds that the farmers did react favourably to the limit of maximum fund en-
forced on larger farmers.
The Programme component of supporting the weaker section in the non-farm sector has
gone a long way in making the equity objective very popular with rural communities. The
project not only supported the existing SHGs, but also encouraged the formation of new
ones by providing with revolving fund to SHGs, training for capacity building and skill devel-
opment. The SHGs have emerged as very strong micro-economic institution in providing
with gainful economic activities leading to increased household income among vulnerable
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (41)
sections of the village communities. Especially, the women folk have taken leading interest
in making SHGs very strong and sustainable. They are successfully managing their micro-
financial institutions. Majority of them acknowledged that their standard of living has im-
proved because of SHGs. They have proved themselves as the best managers of their fi-
nancial institution. They have realized that the standard of their food and clothing, has im-
proved and they are making use of value health care services and sending their children to
schools instead of patting them to work. Such an improvement was possible mostly due to
SUJALA Project, which added further strength to already existing SHG movement.
This programme has created a visible impact on the life of the women folk in the rural com-
munity. Their awareness, knowledge and activities are at once observable in their outspoken
positive reaction to the questions put to them by any outsiders like impact assessment team.
As the managers of their homes they collectively expressed a strong feeling that because of
such programme, today they stand liberated from their men folk as the sole providers of do-
mestic needs. Some of the case studies illustrated in their report proved this trend. The Su-
jala policy to involve the SHGs has really added to the popularity of the scheme as compre-
hensive social movement to bring about transitions in the quality of life of all groups of
villagers.
Equitable sharing of project benefits is key to qualitative success of interventions. The
SUJALA aimed at achieving this by widening its scope of coverage of beneficiaries, not
only landed households but also those having no or meager chunk of land and eke
out their livelihood under poverty. Even within these groups, disparities in benefits are
quite possible due to predominant say of large and medium farmers and those wield-
ing some influence on the rural communities. The other aspect of the project benefit
is coverage of deprived and marginalized sections of the society who deserve equal if
not better deal in benefit distribution. The study aims at assessing the benefit accruals
to different economic groups .
Among the land holders three main categories are involved in the project implementa-
tion, cost sharing and benefit sharing viz. marginal farmers, small farmers and large
farmers. Attempts are made to assess the benefits gained by these groups separately
and costs shared to establish whether the same correspond with each. Secondly, the
economic gains in the form of incremental income generation is studied to see how
the project outputs have been equitably distributed among the stake holders .
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (42)
The proportionality of benefits shared by different categories of stake holders was dif-
ferent for different districts and zones from their holding in respect of the selected
micro watersheds. The results indicated that land holders had shared almost equal
benefit from the interventions in terms of incremental income and employment as is
presented in the table below:

3 Impact Analysis
With a view to understanding the impact of the project on natural resources and eco-
nomic gains both at micro and macro levels, an attempt is made to study each of
the project objectives, interventions and outputs in the following Matrix:
Project objectives Interventions Outputs
Sustainable alleviation of rural poverty- through improvement in productive potential of degraded lands
Implementing Participatory wa-tersheds development in se-lected micro watersheds; Maintaining community assets
Arable and non arable lands status improved significantly Land productivity enhanced by :about 30 per cent depending on agro cli-matic zone; Soil erosion reduced by about 20 per cent depending on location Soil moisture retention enhanced;
Enhance production and liveli-hood systems Strengthening local communities
Transfer of technologies through research demonstrations, farm-ers field schools, training and exposure visits for farmers
Farm Management practices im-proved – agri productivity enhanced between 30% and 40% depending on crops Farm Employment increased by 56 days/hectare Family labour employment increase for Marginal and Small farmers by 50 days
Women, landless and other vul-nerable groups to be supported with IGA and their involvement in social and economic activities to be enhanced
Formation of self help groups of women and vulnerable groups Provide Revolving fund to take up economic activities’ Support SHGs to promote IGAs among members through provi-sion of Revolving fund Skill development programmes
Income generation activities taken up by women resulted in their earning additional income of Rs 2000 to 3500 per month. Women members contribution to monthly thrifts increased SHGs Reserves enhanced
Strengthening the capacity of communities to participate in local level development programmes in socially inclusive manner
Implementation of target group specific training pro-grammes, exposure visits
Skills of Target groups (managerial and technical) improvement. Communities gain knowledge about management of their units / organiza-tions Marginal farmers, landless labour and vulnerable sections benefit from en-hanced awareness
Ensuring sustainability of project interventions through participatory involvement of communities
Formation of Area and commu-nity groups, training and orien-tation, building up resources (community funds)
User Groups and other CBOs were expected to take over community as-sets for maintenance (created under EPA and Watershed treatment plans). But this could not be achieved ex-cept for the EPA assets.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (44)
Keeping the objectives, interventions and outputs in mind, Impact analysis is carried out
in respect of improvements brought about both in the on-farm and off-farm sectors.
The direct impact of the project certainly is expected to be on agriculture, horticulture
and other on-farm activities. Improved agriculture production and productivity are ana-
lysed using the following variables (1) Crop intensity (2) crop diversification (3) Yield
improvement (4) other contributory factors.
a) Intensive Agriculture
Watershed works and participatory adoptive research together with FFS had resulted
in overall improved performance of agriculture. The recharge of ground water in the
selected watershed areas, due to percolation effect, availability of water for irrigation whe-
rever farmers have their own irrigation facilities, were main outputs of the project.
Based on the beneficiary study and assessment it is estimated that an average rise
of 15 to 20 meters could be possible in ground water availability but it varies with
agro climatic zones and amount of precipitation on an year to year basis. Rainfall data
for the years 2005-2010 indicated that during four out of six monsoons recorded more
than average rainfall. This had resulted in improvement in Ground water table and con-
sequently improved agriculture activities.
1 Cropping Intensity :
While the study in respect of Phases I and II estimated an average crop intensity of
145%, no significant improvement is visible in so far as Phase III was concerned as
indicated by the study of farmer beneficiaries in different agro climatic zones. Crop
intensity in respect of Phase III was around 117%,with inter zone variations.

2 Crop Diversification
Water being the main and critical input in agriculture operations, once the farmer has this
assured source in adequate quantity, his first choice would be crop diversification from
low to high return crops. Thanks to opening up of markets for wide ranging agriculture
and horticulture products across the state and outside, the demand for pulses, vegetables
and short duration fruit crops has increased many folds creating huge gaps as a
result of which prices of such products are moving upward. Responding to the expand-
ing markets, farmers are who had no alternative to low yielding dry land crops like
jowar, ragi, minor millets etc, are now taking high value crops like pulses, oilseeds
vegetables, fruits like Banana, flower crops, groundnut, maize, sunflower and others (de-
tails in Farmers survey). Crop diversification ranged between 3% to 19% in respect of
different crops as can be seen from the following table.. Pulses, Maize and Vegetables
had registered higher increase in area..However, among oilseeds, decline was seen in
case of sunflower which was unusual since this is one of the high return crops..

3 Yield Improvements:
Yield improvements can be achieved by a combination of factors such as (a) adoption
of new package of practices/ technologies (b) use of irrigation water. It was observed
that the project beneficiaries had the two of these factors. The Agriculture intensifica-
tion component of the project provided the farmers improved technology and use of
INM practices under both semi-dry and dry cropping conditions. Availability of water for
longer duration (ranging from 4 to 6 months as reported by the farmers) helped farmers
take high value crops. As a result, yield levels of crops increased at different ranges
in different agro climatic zones. The overall average incremental estimated yield per
hectare ranged from 28 per cent in case of cereals, 37 percent for pulses, 41 per cent
for oilseed, of crops ,and 42% in case of vegetables. Similar productivity gains are also
observed in other crops.

4. Contributory Factors
While the above changes are largely on account of interventions under SUJALA,
quite a number of other factors seem to have contributed to the over all improvement in
production, yield improvements, crop diversification etc. which need to be considered in
evaluation process.
The Agriculture Intensification component aimed at achieving the above levels and
changes included two important components namely adaptive research and Farmers
Field Schools. These programmes have been going on both within and outside the
watersheds and are meant to cover entire farm sector and not necessarily restricted to
Watershed areas alone. Therefore, it is combination of various factors that has worked
under the project.
The Rasthriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, The ATMA, the KVKs and similar other programmes
also have added to the success of this project.
An analysis of the without project scenario ( control areas ) indicates that though the
process was accelerated under SUJALA, there is positive impact of these programmes
in ”without Project “ areas.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (50)
The Integrated Farming Systems approach adopted under the other programmes like
RKVY, did influence the watershed areas also and boosted livestock activities across
these districts though with accelerated pace. Thanks to resources provided (for IGA,
SHGs) and large scale training and exposure visit programmes under this project.
Organic Farming
Karnataka is one of the pioneering states in respect of adoption of organic farming and
in recent years focused programmes are being formulated and implemented across the
state including the watersheds under SUJALA. The National Organic Farming Mission
is promoting organic farming aimed at improvement of soil health and reduction in use
of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Organic products have come to be in good de-
mand due to changing tastes of the consumers and growing health consciousness. The
project also includes a training capsule on techniques of organic farming. This also
has contributed to reduction in cost and use of fertilizers.
Other Benefits
By tradition, farming communities do not entirely depend on agriculture activities alone
for their livelihoods, more so, the small and marginal farmers. There is always an urge
and need for them to enhance income by taking up supplementary land based activities.
Dairy, and small animal rearing is almost integral part of the farming systems and it was
observed that livestock rearing provided sizeable income to the farmers. Livestock rear-
ing depends mainly on availability of fodder and agriculture residues/ by product gener-
ated on farm. Livestock rearing, therefore, is limited to availability of fodder. Treatment
plans included substantial percentage of plantation under silvi-horti-forestry species main-
ly in community lands in addition to supply of Hemata, an important fodder species.
Most of the livestock rearers (irrespective of whether holding any land or not) use the
fodder available in common land (such as grass and other browsables) for feeding
their cattle. Besides, the changed cropping pattern also generated agriculture by-
products which constitute fodder for cattle. It was observed that the small and mar-
ginal farmers and those owning livestock(both small and large animal) could maintain
their stock with adequate availability of fodder. Incremental availability of fodder var-
ied among districts and depended on extent of community lands, types of tree planta-
tions taken up and types of crop combinations adopted by the farmers. Largely, the fol-
lowing was the status with regard to incremental fodder, fuel and timber availability in
the districts.

Implementation of treatment plans incorporating plantation with forest species such as
silver oak, teak, honge, timber and fuel wood trees formed an important programme. As
a result, the aggregate area under forest tree/ species is estimated at 29,000 hectares
which covers fuel wood, timber, fodder, MFP and fruit species. Even though no yields
were reported from these areas, it is quite possible that harvesting of some of the
forest products would commence in the coming years, more importantly fruit species like
cashew nut, gooseberry and non fruit species like, timber, fuel wood, fodder. It can be
estimated depending on the year of harvest/cutting.
Among the forest produce, fodder crops yield faster and instances of farmers getting
some fodder for their animals are visible (Farmers / IGA beneficiaries surveys). While
tree cover would not be disturbed from such of the forest trees that yield leaves / fodder
material, annual/ periodical harvesting of fodder was reported.
Poverty Alleviation through Income Generating Activities
Acceleration of rural poverty alleviation is one of the main objectives of this project
through a series of economic activities to be taken up by those disadvantaged groups
having meager or no landed resources to depend on. The IGA package provided scope
to such households to take up one or other income generating activities. An estimated
6,700 plus SHGs, predominantly women dominated community based organizations, both
existing and newly created were used as vehicles of change. The interventions were
focused on marginal farmers, agricultural labour, rural artisans and other self employed
persons. It was observed that over 11,000 women and other vulnerable group house-
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (53)
holds were motivated through training and skill development / EDP and other HR pro-
grammes and provided financial assistance in the form of revolving fund through Self
Help Groups. In all around 6,650 self Help Groups were formed with an average
membership restricted to 20 and average membership is between 14 and 18, thus
covering as many as 80,000 persons under skill and IGA training programs. As a result,
those whose income from their holdings were meager or nil and those eking out their
livelihood on menial job like agriculture labour, received benefits from the project.
Main self employment activities taken up were livestock rearing, mainly dairy farming,
sheep and goat rearing, fisheries, piggery (particularly by scheduled tribes), petty shops
and eateries, tailoring, etc. For comparatively educated youth opportunities were made
available to take up servicing and computer operation through training and skill
development programmes.
Milk Yield :
It was observed that average milk yield from milch animals had ranged from 1.76
liters/day to 2.80 liters/day in case of local milch animals and from 5 litres to 7 llitres
in respect of cross bred cows ). Assuming a lactation of 200-220 days the incremental
milk production from a milch animal ranged between 250 and 550 liters in respect of
local and 900 and 1100 litres per lactation in case of cross breds, valued at Rs 3000

Fish Production
Check dams, Nala bunds, farm ponds and other water harvest structures form major
portion of interventions. Besides serving agriculture and drinking water for livestock ,
these minor water bodies have also become sources of fish production. Fisheries de-
velopment is an important component of the RKVY and is being promoted. Aquaculture is
part of additional income generating avenues to some farmers particularly in eastern
and central dry zones. With availability of seeds and technical support, training on im-
proved fish production inbuilt into this project, good number of farmers and others were
encouraged to take up fish production in these mini water bodies. Aquaculture also
provides additional nutritional source to the farmers whose staple diet include fish.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (55)
From the survey and interactions with the PIA officials / University of Agriculture Sci-
ences it was ascertained that :
• Fish culture in farm ponds can be taken as a complementary activity (in larger
size ponds) and the farmer can harvest around 25 to 40 kg of fish of different
species valued at around Rs 2000 - 3000;
• The pond dykes can be used for production of green fodder, vegetables, canopy
forming trees etc.
• By use of integrated farming system the farmers can earn between Rs 26,000
and 28,000 from a pond size of 15 m x 15 m x 3 m.
Average Incremental Income
Majority of the landless labour and those belonging to marginal farmer groups did not
have full time employment and consequently meager incomes, mainly from menial
labour which again depended on seasonal fluctuation of rainfall and agricultural activi-
ties. It was estimated that the average labour wages earned by an individual ranged
between Rs 60 and 80 (for males) and Rs 50 - 70 (for women labour) with around 90-
100 days of employment round the year intermittently. Average income remained
around Rs 6,000 to 10,000 in respect of male labour and it was between Rs.5,000 and
7,500 for women labour. Instances of such households migrating to nearby villages or
towns were observed in all the districts. The NREGA and other rural employment
guarantee programmes being implemented across the country under the rural em-
ployment guarantee scheme also has provided opportunities to the rural poor to bet-
ter their household income.
Average Family Income
This consists of income from main occupation such as agriculture, horticulture, agricul-
ture related activities like dairy, poultry, fisheries etc. in case of landed households
while in case of those not owning any lands main source of income comes from self
and family labour, income from new income generating activities taken up etc. The av-
erage household income rose by different percentages in both categories. Family in-
come of large farmers had risen significantly in the post project scenario. Correspond-
ing rise was also noticed in case of medium, small and marginal farmers but with lesser
degree. In case of landless labour and self employed households, the income rise
mainly came from change in their activity, from labour income to entrepreneurial in-
come. Zone-wise income of different categories of respondents was:

which had raised household income to substantial level.
Labour Migration
With economic advancement and changing outlook of rural households towards life
styles, there is always an inherent desire to lead a comfortable life. Inadequate job
opportunities in on-farm sector had been compelled to migrate to urban centres. With
the implementation of the project and availability of self employment opportunities,
there is tendency of landless labour and marginal and small farmers to seek better
sources of livelihood within the rural set up. The IGAs and other opportunities have
certainly reduced the incidence of migration (however no precise figures could be ob-
tained from the survey nor from the Agencies). It was only understood that migration
of labour to nearby towns has come down by over 80 per cent. The large number of
people in the project area acknowledged that increase in employment and household
income has reduced the migration in search of work outside their community. Especially,
seasonal migration to the nearby towns and villages has reduced to the extent of about 80
to 85 percent (except in cases not involving search for livelihood). However, higher
wages in the nearby towns continues to attract.

Macro Impact of the Project
One of the main objectives, increasing production potential of land and other natural re-
sources, aims at achieving food security and meeting the increasing demand for food
grains, more particularly, high value and high nutrient / protein content agriculture pro-
duce such as pulses, oilseeds, fruits vegetables etc. With economic progress and
growth consumption pattern of even lower middle and middle class population is chang-
ing faster and demand for better food grains, fruits vegetables and other high value
crops is increasing. Farmers across the state in general and project areas in particular,
have realized and responded to this trend in consumption and accordingly are trying
to adopt best combination of crops so as to maximize the output returns from their
holdings. As a result, production of food and non food products has been showing
changes. This holds good for the project area too. A macro analysis of the trends of
production shows marked difference between two periods namely before and after the
project. An attempt is made to assess such benefit from the macro angle.

Households benefitted across the micro watersheds
Interventions in the watershed treatments spread over six districts covered over 3.32
lakh hectares of area (of which about 18% or 59,000 hectare accounted for community
ownership). Private lands accounted for 2.73 lakh hectares. Taking an average per
capita holding at 1.95 hectares (for all the six districts), the number of farmers benefit-
ted can be estimated at 1.67 lakh, comprising marginal, small and large farmers, as
shown in the following table

Note. Over 60 per cent of the beneficiaries come under marginal, small, and medium size groups .
The special cost sharing study indicated that the number of beneficiaries per Micro
watershed was 225 farmers under different categories. Taking this average the esti-
mated number of farmers benefitted comes to 1,66,725, which nearly tallies with the es-
timates as detailed in the above table.
Ground Water Development
Four out of six districts come under dry zone and available groundwater is being ex-
ploited as a result of which depth of water table has decreased significantly, more
importantly in districts like Kolar where GW exploitation is higher. During the drought
years this level further goes deeper. One of the biggest benefits from this project is
significant improvement in water availability in the open and bore wells in and around
water shed areas. A number of defunct wells got rejuvenated on account of raise in
ground water table. Depending on the monsoon and agro climatic zones, increase in
water table can be estimated (based on the farmers survey).

Note: These are estimates based on the farmers experience and versions as re-

Apart from recharge of ground water, availability of water has increased by two to
three months in the wells and bore wells. It was indicated by the respondents that
drinking water for livestock and village communities also has shown improvement due
to groundwater recharge .
Interactions with the farmers and outputs generated through primary study indicated
that a number of defunct wells ,particularly in EDZ and CDZ had become functional
due to rise in water table. Between 30-35 wells are reported to be rejuvenated in a
MWs. Taking this norm, the estimated 20,000 wells could have become functional in
the 741 MWS covered (however, this was not supported by improved crop intensity in
respect of Phase III of the project).
Soil and Moisture Conservation
The interventions included a number of structures to prevent soil erosion due to run
off and these structures were need based and location specific. These measures are
community as also individual farmer based. Community based interventions included

contour bunds, gully checks. The survey revealed that run off of soil had reduced to

Additional employment opportunities were created as a result of the beneficiaries tak-
ing up one or other of the following income generating activities. The major IGAs taken
up by the beneficiaries were
1 Dairy /livestock rearing
2 incense stick making
2 Petty shops/ eateries
3 Tailoring and garment production

Keeping these activities in view and on the basis of the outputs generated through bene-
ficiary surveys in respect of Phase III and those estimated by ANTRIX Corporation in
respect of Phases I and II, estimated employment generated can be put in following
ranges:

Other Benefits
The project interventions were also provided for plantation of tree crops under silvi-
horti development programmes. As per ICR over 59,000 hectare (equivalent) of area
was brought under different horticulture crops during all the three phases(separate fig-
ures for individual phases not available ) (arable and non arable), with a view to
• reduce land degradation on account of soil erosion
• Improved tree coverage
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (62)
• Improved physical structures through physical work involving construction of
wide variety of civil structures and repairs to the existing ones resulting in soil
moisture conservation
The interventions resulted in improved ecology and environment. Tree cover devel-
oped through plantation programmes bears testimony to the physical environmental im-
provement across the watersheds which is one of the most important outcomes of the
project.
Social Forestry
During the preprocess period, when Agro forestry was started, there was no awareness
among the villagers about the advantages of this system. Over the years, species
having commercial value and increased demand like teak, silver oak, and honge (pon-
gamia) are gaining importance. Bund planting with its luxurious growth and promising plan-
tations are good sources of income to the beneficiaries. The project supported the planta-
tion of these species both in private and community lands. As a result of utilization of
land on bunds, hither to barren were planted with such species. Works under the forestry
sector, planting of trees on farm bunds of individuals, private lands, community lands, along
road side(avenue plantation), in school premises were taken up. One notable feature is that
high economic value bio-fuel species like jetropha have been planted on farm bunds and
vacant agricultural lands. In all the watersheds the common species planted are teak, honge
(pongamia), neem, and silver oak. The overall survival rate on an average is about 60%.
The protection given to agricultural crop also helps forestry plants.
There is no definite pattern in planting of seedlings. Adaptation of Agro –forestry practices in
Sujala has helped farmers in conservation of soil and water from the land surface and ulti-
mately resulted in increase in productivity, especially to small and marginal farmers. As the
name suggests, Agro –forestry is a collective name for land use system in which perennials
(forestry and horticultural plants) and herbaceous plants (agricultural, fodder plants) are
planted. The main benefits of agro-forestry plantings are providing shade, acting as wind
shield, prevention of run off of water, control of soil erosion, maintenance and improvement
of soil fertility and provide supplementary income to the beneficiaries. The tree crop on ma-
turity yield variety of much needed produce like timber, fuel wood, and bio-fuel seeds, which
fetch a handsome income to the beneficiaries. It is the optimum land use practice generat-
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (63)
ing employment and income to the poor farmers. This has also helped to reduce migration
of labour force to other districts. The rain fall in all the districts was also satisfactory to
achieve overall success. The intercropping of forestry crops with agricultural crops produce
higher yield on a given piece of land by making use of resources that would have been util-
ized by single crop. Agro forestry has played a major role as diversified system with ample
scope for vertical productivity of the land. The intangible benefits driven from the plantings
on bunds and common lands will directly help relieve some pressure on native forests. As
the development is not confined just to agricultural lands, and covers the area, starting from
the highest point of the tract (ridge line) to the outlet of the nasal or the natural stream.
Watershed management programme not only helped in the economic upliftment of rural
people but also in stopping further degradation of natural resources and improve environ-
ment in the watershed.
As per ICR, area brought under forestry is estimated at 29,000 hectares across the
districts. The long term gains from these plantations is expected to be realized. The
methodology adopted for the current study is by collecting primary data regarding each Mi-
cro Watershed area related to the study by an intensive field visit to observe the practices
adopted during project implementation. Most of the plantings and aforestation programmes
were analyzed. Detailed interaction was also made with the community to understand the
status of community organization, and traditional management practices of community
resources. It was observed that beneficiaries do not generally take any adequate care to
maintain plantation, more importantly fuel wood and other timber yielding species are
ignored even in their holdings and are left to vagaries of nature. In respect of commu-
nity lands no maintenance is observed in spite of the fact that the villagers do
collect usufructs like fodder, small timber and other forest products.
In forestry crops the income from the accruals come only after a gap of time , as these
species have longer gestation periods and take pretty long time to give returns to the
investments. Even though teak has a long rotation period of about 80 years, the beneficiar-
ies were content and happy with the choice of species for planting programmes on bunds.
The study indicated that for loppings from seedlings and pole crop there are no worth-
while returns from the growing stock to the beneficiaries except perhaps biomass as well
as in the form of fuel wood and fodder, that too in negligible quantities. But the future bene-
fits in a long run from the forest species outweigh the benefits from plantings of pure horti-
culture species. Instead, silvi-horticulture species, such as jack/wild jack are preferred for
the reasons that not only they are evergreens capable of growing in any habitat but also
yield very useful timber while being the sources of yielding fruits and other minor forest
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (64)
products year in and year out as long as the trees are not harvested, having smaller rotation
when compared to the species like teak.
Forestry practices in the management of watersheds have long term salubrious impacts.
Soil erosion, for example, is a slow process in many ways and the benefits of retarding the
same may not be so easily discernible. Recharging groundwater, stabilizing slopes through
vegetative cover, and increasing sub soil moisture and contributing towards getting organic
matter peat soil and green manure are distinct possibilities, though time-consuming. Even
though It is not that easy to assess the economic impact of such project benefits, yet a
crude estimate can be had to quantify the likely economic benefits to the community.
While main benefits accrue mainly from increase in the productivity of the agricultural
crops, following table gives a crude estimate of likely benefit accruals.

Horticulture
During Phase III of the project, emphasis had been given on increased horticultural activi-
ties as suggested by the midterm evaluation team. Fruit plants yielding substantial in-
come were recommended to be planted in private lands inclusive of field bunds. The fruit
plants commonly preferred are mango, sapota, lime and coconut which are sure sources of
income to the beneficiaries. The survival rate on an average also being high, plantations are
found always well-stocked. Beneficiaries are found taking the required care to maintain and
manage such plantations, thus getting direct income from many byproducts as well. Addi-
tionally, soil structure and fertility is enhanced to a substantial extent, resulting in soil con-
servation and prevention of soil erosion. With a view to ensure holistic approach In low
lying areas where water is available due to construction of water harvest structures, farmers
have switched over to cultivation of vegetables, horticulture crops especially mango and co-
conut and in some water sheds floriculture.
The Change in cropping pattern is due to rise in water levels of bore wells and availability of
water in the water harvesting structures. In fact, it was stated by the village community and
field observations indicated that most of the land presently with horticulture crops and is be-
ing intercropped was idle before the project. During interactions with the beneficiaries it was
revealed that cultivation of mango and coconut is most profitable. The project areas have
coconut and areca nut gardens which are irrigated due to increased water in bore wells
and water harvesting structures. The beneficiaries are happy due to execution of field bund-
ing work in their fields which has increased the sub soil moisture and increased the produc-
tion of coconut and areca nut in their gardens. The bunding acts as demarcation of the
fields which has given them feeling of security. The beneficiaries are also practicing Agri-
Horti system with mango and cow pea and other agricultural crops. The annual income of
the beneficiaries has increased due to sale of usufructs from horticultural plants and floricul-

ture. The findings reveal that the income generated from horticultural crops stands third
after agriculture and dairy earnings in Sujala Project.
Sustainability
Rural development projects with community participation and management generally are
confronted with the issue of sustainability in the post implementation period due to lack
of interest and initiative of the communities. The same is true to some extent, in case
of this project also. Even though success stories are seen here and there, a general
pessimism pervades across the watersheds under study. Also, a number of World
Bank funded projects have exhibited satisfying, if not good, results and strengthened
Government policies of decentralised governance. SUJALA is a multi agency depend-
ent project involving village communities. The study has brought to the fore, the follow-
ing issues:
a) Technical : The project aimed at improving the soil and water management
through a series of physical measures with community involvement. The project
also assumed that the maintenance of the structures created would be taken
over by CBOs with the assistance of panchayats once they are handed over and
such structures would be properly maintained with periodical repairs as a
routine exercise in order to derive benefits by the community. The user groups
when working were expected to generate adequate savings/ revenues to meet
the maintenance cost and build up some resources and the panchayats would
ensure this happening. However, the specially created institutions like the area
groups and executive committees became non-functional/ defunct with the
withdrawal of the project. As a result, the worst sufferers were community lands
where a number of interventions were initiated and completed with the involve-
ment of the community, since the structures created are not being adequately
maintained. Interactions with panchayats revealed that they are not in a position
to maintain these structures due to inadequacy of resources. Since there is no
provision for earmarked funds in the post project period, communities were ex-
pected to generate such resources voluntarily. This did happen in some cases
but by and large, the structures remain unattended resulting in gradual dete-
rioration in their conditions.

b) Economic : sustainability: Main objective of the project was to enhance eco-
nomic gains from natural resources in an equitable manner, more importantly,
major benefit accruals were to come from agriculture as a result of better soil
and water management practices, application of appropriate and improved
package of practices to crop production processes. The farmers were provided
training to take best advantage of the transfer of technologies by research
institutions and the departments concerned. Similar enhanced economic benefits
were also envisaged through income generating activities.
c) Ecology and environmental Sustainability.
The project interventions include large scale plantation of horticulture and
forestry species (like mango, guava, cashew nut, gooseberry), honge (pongamia),
silver oak, teak (to limited extent), tamarind etc. The cumulative area was es-
timated at 59,000 ha of horticulture and 29,000 ha of forest plantations aggre-
gating to around 88,000 hectares. Assuming an average survival of 60%, the
tree cover is estimated at about 52000 hectares constituting about 10% of the
geographical area. This additional tree cover would have positive impact on
ecology and environment in the long run and (subject to their upkeep and main-
tenance) these plantations would :
i) Reduce run off
ii) Check soil erosion
iii) Enhance tree cover
iv) Influence local weather conditions
v) Provide additional revenue to be able to maintain them.
d) Financial Sustainability
At individual level, it was observed that financial sustainability was achieved
by large majority of farmers irrespective of their size of holdings. Crop diversi-
fication, cropping intensity enhancement have been possible and the levels of
outputs per unit of holding or per unit of productive asset (like milk production in
case of dairy) have been sustained over a period of time due to the initial inter-
ventions and efforts put in by the project .
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (68)
However, most of the community lands where interventions were carried out are
not properly maintained (this observation is based on the basis of field surveys as
also interactions with AGS/ SHGS/NGOS/WDD officials) and as a result of which
economic benefit accruals cannot be said to be sustainable or sustained. Even
though the project anticipated community’s active involvement in the management
of common properties but the passive attitude has affected economic sustain-
ability of such common properties largely, though a number of exceptions were
reported in the project districts.
e) Institutional : The project heavily relied on community approach to management and
sought active participation right from the stage of planning, selection of interven-
tions, execution, monitoring progress and self assessment. Besides, sharing of cost
was a precondition for any works to be taken up in private and community lands.
For this purpose, local Area Groups and executive committees with wider represen-
tation from SHGs, Panchayats, AGs were formed. The project provided abundant op-
portunities to the grass root level institutions to develop institutional capabilities so as
to be able to take over the responsibility in the long run. The training and orientation
by the NGOs and WDD officials and motivation afforded to them was expected to
prepare the communities to take initiative in serving common cause.
This system worked well during the currency of the project. These institutions were
expected to develop into a type of permanent bodies to look after the development
and management of community assets/ properties and build their own resources
from the profits generated as a result of the project interventions. However, as dis-
cussed earlier, these institutions could not sustain and survive beyond project pe-
riod in general, with few exceptions. The withdrawal brought in gradual liquidation
of these institutions one after the other since there was no financial stake nor a
common cause. The role of NGOs was very prominent and to a large extent, they
performed their obligations in motivating and bringing the individuals to the community
groups to ensure sustainability of the project. The NGOs left the scene in the post pro-
ject period since their involvement was only up to the withdrawal stage and they
were not expected to volunteer their involvement without any remunerative package.
In a few cases (as in the case of some AGs/ECs in Dharwad district) the NGOs
made all out efforts to motivate the groups to continue their activities. There are
cases where an AG having 40 members was divided into two groups (20 each) in
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (69)
order to qualify for some loan assistance (on the lines of SHGs). Even these surviv-
ing institutions are not serious nor have any inclination to maintain community /
common lands but are engrossed only in getting financial support from the banks
and other lending institutions. Therefore, sustainability of these institutions largely
hinges on the financial interest and financial stakes of individual members and not
otherwise.
f) Social and Environmental: The project supported institutional capacity building
and raising awareness among communities so that they get involved actively in
the project implementation. The formation and nurturing of such institutions did
strengthen community participation. It was observed that the mechanism evolved to
ensure participation by even marginalised groups of the villages in decision making
processes, income and employment generating activities for landless and vulnerable
segments, especially women households, and transparency measures in decision
making all did contribute cohesive working environment. The strong bondage and
mutual understanding among members with different economic status created a
socially desirable environment during the project implementation period which needs
to be appreciated. No differences nor any problems were reported which augurs
well.
g) Maintenance of Common Property Resources
The community assets are divided into (i) category I assets and (jj) category II as-
sets. The first included those used by few families (user groups ) like farm ponds,
check dams, Nala bunds, MPT, and Entry Point Assets comprising community
bore wells, horticulture plantations, /forest plantations etc., which should be main-
tained by respective user groups. The users were to contribute towards mainte-
nance of such assets both by cash and kind like shramadan. They should also
generate revenue for maintenance by using mini water bodies by taking up fish
culture during the season.
The second category of assets comprising forestry and horticulture plantation that
yield usufructs, fish ponds, nala revetment, gully plugging, biomass from common
lands, road side plantations etc. The project created large number of such assets
during the three phases which need to be maintained by the communities.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (70)
The project envisaged that these assets would require watch and ward to be
provided by the community including SHGs and their regular maintenance. How-
ever, interactions with ECs AGs, SHGs, NGOs and WDD staff at different micro
water shed locations indicated that the strategies and arrangements proposed un-
der the project are not being followed by the community. Isolated efforts (with
local initiatives) are noticed in effective maintenance of these structures. Wher-
ever usufructs are being produced, some community groups and Village Pan-
chayats are making efforts to maintain the assets. By and large, the strategies
envisaged do not seem to have worked resulting in deterioration of community
assets, on which good amount of financial resources were spent. This perhaps is
one of the major setbacks to the participatory approach.

CHAPTER 4
COMPARATIVE AND CUMULATIVE IMPACT
During the course of implementation of I and II phases, a number of deficiencies and
issues had surfaced at ground level. They had a direct bearing on the qualitative and
quantitative achievement of the project targets and objectives. Major differences be-
tween the Phase I & II and Phase III were in the form of policy changes and changes
in strategies. Following matrix provides some salient aspects between the two
periods.
Issues identified and addressed
The M E and L agency which closely monitored the project implementation came out
with a number of issues that needed to be addressed while implementing Phase I
and II. Some of the measures initiated during the III phase are:

NGOs performance improved significantly during the II and III phases of the project
Comparative Performance
SUJALA was implemented in three phases. Impact assessment for the first and sec-
ond phases was carried by the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Agency (Antrix
Corporation - ISRO) Bangalore as a part of the Terms of Reference of the assign-
ment. The present study is an assessment of the impact of the last phase i.e. Phase
III. The coverage of activities and areas for treatment, formation of community groups
had lion’s share during phase III and accounted for over two thirds of the targets and
achievements. Therefore, the outputs generated for this phase may largely hold good
to other phases also. However, a number of mid course corrections were carried out
on the basis of lessons learnt during implementation of the earlier two phases. It is
worthwhile to look at the outputs of the project in a holistic approach.
While interventions during all the phases have been analysed in the foregoing chap-
ters, a comparative analysis of phase wise outputs and benefit accruals is attempted
using the data available in the Impact Assessment report of the ANTRIX Corporation.
This analysis covers the following:
� Agriculture- crop intensities, cropping pattern changes, yield improvements, incre-
mental income
� Soil and water- extent of reduction in soil erosion, ground water recharge, water
table improvement and other natural resources related aspects
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (73)
� Income Generation Activities- types- household income from different activities
� Community Based organizations- SHGs, IGAs, others
� Sustainability
� Equity aspects
� Maintenance of common assets
A: Agriculture intensification
This is a major beneficiary of the project and therefore, major impact is expected on
this sector. Augmentation of additional water and its extended availability over longer
periods of important crop seasons provides opportunities to the farmers to take more
than one crop from their holdings. The intensity of crops during the three phases in the
following table indicates that there was marginal to moderate improvement in the crop
intensity in different zones.

Phase III
It was observed that crop intensity in phases I and II was higher than in phase III . The
overall crop intensity at 22% augurs well for the dry land area of the project(arrived at
using weighted average method using the number of sub watersheds covered in two
periods namely 35% and 65% in respect of Phases I & II and Phase III).
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (74)
Cropping Pattern Change/ Diversification
Improved soil moisture retention and reduced run off of rain water also helped the
farmers to switch over from traditional and low yield/low price crops to high value and
commercial crops. Farmers were also motivated by the training and Farmers Field
Schools and ventured into newer crops that command good prices and ready market
like vegetables, oilseeds, horticulture crops etc. The phase wise crop pattern shift
shows gradual shift in favour of market driven cropping system .

Crop Yield improvement
Combination of factors influencing crop yields such as use of high yield varieties of
seeds, technology adoption, better farm management practices in addition to enriched
soil and enhanced water availability had worked in the project areas as a result of
which crop yields showed significant improvements among the zones and crops. The
range was between 20 and 50 per cent depending on the season, crop and zones.
This was true in all the three phases as is borne out from the following table.

Comparative impact on Ground water
As a result of a number of structures constructed to arrest run off of water and water
impounding structures like farm ponds, check dams and others, substantial volume of
running water could be harvested and stored at different points within the micro
watersheds. As per technical norms, a farm pond measuring 30x30x3 meters could
water to the extent of 325 cum. The check dams and other percolation tanks helped in
ground water recharge. Ground water recharge takes place mainly due to (i) storage
water (ii) excess amount of water percolating. The large number of structures both in
private and community lands had improved ground water status significantly. An
attempt has been made to assess the estimated recharge of ground water and resul-
tant rise in water table during the three phases. While precise techniques were used
for First and Second phases, the assessment in respect of phase III is based broadly
on (i) beneficiary survey (ii) interactions with the WDD and NGO officers and (iii) per-
sonal verification and interactions with AGs, and Focused Group Discussions with
village communities.

Reduction in Soil Erosion
Annual erosion of soil due to rain fall and consequent run off is a common phenome-
non across the micro watersheds and the project has addressed this issue. As a re-
sult, degradation of land due to soil loss (top soil) has reduced considerably. The study
in respect of phases I and II and also Phase III have attempted to capture some in-
formation from the farmers based on their observations and experience. Though not
scientifically precise, the assessment gives some indicative gains as shown in the fol-
lowing table.

Changes in Runoff Depth (Q) and Volume (cu.m) across the micro-watersheds Phase I & II
For phase I and II, data available in the Impact assessment study are used while for
phase III, beneficiaries experiences and interactions with the NGOs and WDD officials
are considered. It is observed that the assessments made by both sources are similar
and nearly accurate.
Sustainability of CBOs
They comprise Sujala Watershed Sanghas (SWS), Self Help Groups (SHGs) and Area
Groups (AGs). SWS were basically user groups comprising those who are benefitted
by the project interventions directly like farmers and members of SHGs while SHGs
are groups formed mainly by women. Both are registered institutions. The Area groups
are special purpose institutions formed mainly to implement the project.
The impact assessment study in respect of Phase I and II indicates that almost 95%
of the SWS and AGs have become defunct with effect from close of the project. In
case of SHGs the study estimates about 80 per cent of them to be functioning. The
field surveys, interactions with the NGOs, Panchayats, WDD officials indicated that
almost all the SWS and AGs/ECs are defunct while more than 95% of the SHGs are
functioning and carrying out their activities.

The first and second institutions had a single and specific agenda and were consti-
tuted with the objective of taking over the responsibility of planning and execution of
works and their maintenance once the project closed. Since there was no specific
condition for their sustainability, they became defunct at the close. Since there was
no financial stake, these institutions did not continue due, mainly, to lack of interest of
the village communities in spite of a very clear understanding being given to them
about the imperatives of their sustainability. This has been amply observed and delib-
erated in the IA report by ANTRIX Corporation and the same factors hold good in
respect of Phase III also.
But the status of Self Help Groups is somewhat different. These institutions have
long history of evolution and have come to stay in the rural economic scenario more
importantly since they champion the cause of women and vulnerable groups of the
society. The fundamental principle of the SHGs is thrift and saving, mutual adjustments
and cooperation in pursuing economic activities etc. Hence, there is financial stake and
interest among them which has successfully cemented the relationship among the
members of the groups. Group formation under SUJALA project was mainly to take
advantage of this rural institution in carrying out the implementation process. Therefore,
SHGs have emerged as sustaining rural micro credit institutions with or without SUJALA.
The project provided required impetus to accelerate their progress and to that extent
the project can credit.

mentation were studied to assess the extent to which the objectives and goals have

Social and Institutional Aspects
Apart from the routine approach to the study, the study team felt that field level officials of
the Watershed Development Project SUJALA, were very significant source of information on
the project work, especially the qualitative dynamic forces, which were at work during the
processes of executing the project. The field level officials had experience of having worked
in person in all the processes and with all the partners involved in planning and extension of
the Project. It was assumed that their work experience with the local communities and its
formal and informal groupings, the NGOs and the beneficiaries at large would be very valid
source of information. Hence, they were contacted in person, shared their experiences and
opinion on various topics relevant to the study and the same is considered as one of the
valid empirical basis for our conclusions.
The “Sujala” has rightly focused on the social mobilization process as the vital input to begin
with the project work. The training contents covered are (1) information on project objectives
and approach (2) new institutional arrangement (3) capacity building (4) knowledge dissemi-
nation (5) motivation etc. The functionaries were in fact trained adequately to play their role
effectively to realize the basic objective of the project, namely when implemented, to make it
really a community driven, socially inclusive and participatory.
Mobilisation process of rural communities in Karnataka, was already set in motion by various
development programmes especially the SHGs as the micro-credit system meant for vulner-
able sections of villages, particularly among the women folk and labour class. This further,
added to the intensification of social mobilization for overall development of the rural com-
munities. Therefore, it was easy way for NGO and DWD agencies to adopt and practice so-
cial mobilization efforts among village communities of selected watersheds. Soon the pro-
ject dissemination activities of the concerned Govt officials and the NGO became popular.
As a result, the village meetings to start with particularly the Grama Sabhas were conducted
successfully and the response of the most of the gram sabhas were reported to be very posi-
tive and they were easily convinced of the advantages of the project and their participation
role in them. The message of new approach of Sujala Project with the locally based institu-
tions like the Area groups and the Executive Councils with required responsibility and power
to plan, execute and monitor the development of their own local resource-private as well as
community was something which brought enthusiastic response from the villagers. This ini-
tial success augured well for the ultimate success of the Sujala Project, because it was the
base on which community driven concept of the project had been practiced.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (83)
The study team has come to conclusion that credit for this initial success should go to the
field functionaries of the DWD, as they were first to be introduced to the SUJAL PROJECT
and its objectives and methodology of institutional arrangement for its implementation. For
having worked in the area, they were already conversant with both the bio-physical and
socio-economic environment which had influenced the village communities. This knowledge
helped them to approach the villagers with the new message of the SUJALA SCHEME.
Their established rapport with the villagers paved way for convincing them about the advan-
tages inherent in the project.
NGO Role
As the community driven project; SUJALA envisaged that the NGOs would have to play a
vital role in the process of implementing the programmes in the local watershed area. As
such the NGOs were considered and retained as the integral part of Institutional structure
approved in the project. The impact analysis revealed that the NGOs were greeted by the
villagers as well as the official functionaries. Since the participation of the villagers had to be
real and effective in all the processes of the project implementation, such as planning, budg-
eting, execution and monitoring, the local people needed services of the NGOs continuously.
The NGOs have met this requirement very successfully by playing their designated role ef-
fectively. They have functioned as the motivators and organizers of community groups, edu-
cators and trainers for capacity building among the beneficiaries and coordinators of field
functionaries of Govt and the local groups in executing the programmes.
Thus the NGOs have functioned effectively and their commitment to their expected function
was quite obvious and it was widely acknowledged by the beneficiaries and the officials who
worked with them. They are reported to have been best in their role in bringing unity of pur-
pose, understanding and functioning among the community stakeholders – individuals’
community groups of all categories, formally established groups like area groups, SHGs,
ECs and even the village panchayat. Secondly, the NGOs played significant role in image
building about financial aspect of the project. The financial transparency in the operation of
the project was a major factor in building natural trust among all the participants in the pro-
ject work and it was the factor in creating most favourable image among the communities at
large. Apart from its achieving its physical targets, unlike other development programme,
SUJALA stands out in the mindset of common villagers as the most clean and uncorrupt
programme. This was mostly due to openers in financial transaction and this was mostly
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (84)
due to NGO’s role in educating and convincing the beneficiaries and coordinating with the
Department functionaries.
Both government functionaries and local beneficiaries expressed that majority of them
have done their job very sincerely and effectively, especially in creating awareness, capacity
building among the villagers and the local functionaries and formation of community groups
and the Area groups, SHGs and Executive Groups. They did their best in making commu-
nity participation really effective. The beneficiaries became more responsible in paying their
role because of their constant interaction in educating and guiding them to act according to
the provisions of the scheme especially executing the works and maintaining accounts and
other records. They were successful in motivating them in favour of cost sharing on their
private land. It is because of NGOs, there was a check and balance in operating the project
particularly transparency in financial transaction. The problems like delay, negligence, mis-
management and misuse of funds which very often characterise the execution of develop-
ment programmes were almost solved. They have performed coordination work so well that
all the three important partners beneficiary groups, Government functionaries and NGO had
shown their commitment to their respective works. In brief, the NGO did their best in bring-
ing about unity of purpose, understanding and functioning among all the stake holders-
community groups of all categories, SHGs, village panchayat, executive council. More im-
portantly they have played key role in positive image building about the project in the com-
munity at large by their effort to inform and popularize the transparency in financial transac-
tions and guided them in achieving better quality in works. Their role was acknowledged by
all more popularly in planning, prioritizing, monitoring processes. The financial transparency
was very effectively achieved mostly through their intervention and efforts clearly informing
the people about it and not keeping anything secret, which was single most important factor
creating trust among the communities and individuals to participate in the programme. The
NGOs have been regarded by almost all as the civic organizations which demonstrated
more commitment for welfare of the local community than for themselves.
However, there was one glaring limitation in their integrated effort. That is about educating
the people and motivating them for sustainability of the institutions and to maintain and con-
serve the works that have been executed in the watersheds. In fact no partner involved in
this project viewed seriously about sustainability.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (85)
Limitations
The study has revealed certain limitations. The local groups and institutions that they were
formed for the purpose of implementing the Sujala project ceased to exist as soon as the
project period was over, there by there was neither collective thinking nor any effort to
maintain and protect or improve the resource of production especially the community
resources. Neither the policy formulators nor the implementing authorities seemed to have
any loud thinking about their crucial aspect. Only those who were involved in execution of
the project at the field level and that too at the far end of the project period began to reflect
over this serious limitation. It was observed now that practically no one including the
community stake holders was serious about this problem.
The Village Panchayat which was supposed to be the responsible organization for maintain-
ing practically every common property and resources had not taken seriously the problem of
maintaining the works that completed and handed over to them after the project period.
Practically there was institutional vacuum and attitudinal neutrality in this regard. This as-
pect has to receive immediate attention of the policy makers. After the project period what
next to cause sustainability of the project works.
Role of Panchayats
Going away from the conventional approach of involving the quacy government bodies
like the Village Panchayats, Taluk Panchayats and ZPs, this project made a departure
in project implementation. This was meant to minimize the interference and involvement
these quacy govt bodies which have come to be dominated by one or other group, or
communities and upper echelons of the rural economic strata (landed gentry). This
approach worked well in successful implementation of the project. However, difficulties
have now surfaced with the closure of the project and withdrawal of agencies in the
hope the Panchayats would eventually take over the interest of the CPRs. However,
this could not be achieved in large majority of cases . Exclusion of these bodies from
the beginning has resulted in their lukewarm / lack of interest in maintaining CPRs in
general. In a kind, it is a lesson to be learnt from this project. There might be need to
remodel project implementation strategies and approaches with (i) minimal interference
of these bodies in the project implementation but (ii) ensure protection of CPRs by
them since it ultimately the responsibility of the QGAs to respond to the need of the
society.

CHAPTER 5
SOCIOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS
Introduction
The Assessment of social and institutional impact of Karnataka Watershed Development
Project – Sujala – from the perspective of developmental sociology, focused mainly on some
of the key issues of development and of the constraints of sustainable development identi-
fied by World Bank’s Project Appraisal Document (PAD).
Method
Since the assessment of social and institutional aspect is mostly qualitative, the techniques
adopted for data collection from concerned groups and individuals consisted of (1) personal
interviews (2) focus groups discussion (3) field observations (4) perusal of various reports
including ME and proceedings of AG and EC Groups. Apart from the routine approach to
the study, the study team felt that field level officials of the DWD were very significant source
of information on the project work, especially the qualitative dynamic forces, which were at
work during the processes of executing the project.
A. BENEFIT SHARING- SOCIAL FACTORS
(i) Socio –Economic Improvement
The improvement in socio-economic conditions are observed among all categories of villag-
ers namely marginal, small and large farmers of land owning class and the labourers, arti-
sans, petty traders, service categories of land-less class. In addition, the project benefits
have reached the most unreachable categories namely SC and ST.
The average household income has registered 25 to 30 percent increase during the project
period. It has also manifested in improvement in the material conditions (life style) of
villagers viz. food, clothing, shelters, health care, schooling for children etc., indicating reduc-
tion in poverty. The Field Study has revealed that out of 1,325 sample beneficiaries studied,
the percentage share of different categories of beneficiaries was 27% SC & ST (14% +
13%), 18% OBC and 55% others, respectively. As regards land holding categories the per-
centage share was 30% small, 20% marginal, 28% medium and 22% large farmers, respec-
tively.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (87)
Large number of people in the project area acknowledged that increase in employment as
well as in the household income has reduced the migration in search of work out side their
community. Especially seasonal migration to the nearby towns and villages has reduced to
the extent of 50 to 60 per cent. However, higher wages in the nearby towns continues to
attract.
(ii) Equity in Benefit Sharing
The size of holding was taken as main basis of deciding the type of works to be undertaken
on their individual farms and the quantum of financial support provided by the Sujala Project.
Provision of such a policy component was made known to the local people in advance. That
is, the requirement of following the equity principle in order to reach over to the economically
and socially weaker sections including women members, was accepted and favoured by the
community at large. That all the Government Sponsored Development Policy and
programmes had to follow the equity norm effectively is known very well by the people and
they have reached a stage of making their rightful claim in this regard.
(iii) Institutional System
What was required is the institutional arrangement to take the benefits to really deserving
groups, and the Project had made such an institutional mechanism of socially inclusive
participatory model to work, i.e. functioning of integrated triple organizations viz. CEOs,
NGOs and GOs with collective responsibility and authority at the local level. And this has
really worked effectively and so the equity objective is by and large successfully achieved. It
is observed in almost all watersheds that the farmers did react favourably to the limit of
maximum grant ie. Rs 70,000/- enforced on large farmers.
(iv) SHGs’ Programme Components
The Programme component mainly dairy, poultry, sheep rearing, tailoring, petty trade of
supporting the weaker section in the non-farm sector has gone a long way in making the eq-
uity objective very popular with rural communities. The project not only supported the exist-
ing SHGs, but also encouraged the formation of new ones by providing with revolving fund
and training for capacity building and skill development. The Sujala Policy to involve the
SHGs has really added to the popularity of the scheme as comprehensive social movement
to bring about transformations in the quality of life of villagers in the selected watersheds.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (88)
(v) Gender Equity
This programme has created a visible impact on the life of the women folk in the rural
community. Their awareness, knowledge and activities are at once observable in their out-
spoken positive reaction to the questions put to them by any outsiders like impact assess-
ment team. The women folk have taken leading interest in making SHGs very strong and
sustainable. They are successfully managing their micro-financial institutions. Majority of
them acknowledged that their standard of living has improved because of SHGs support
income generating activities. They have proved themselves as the best Managers of their
financial institutions. They have realized that the standard of their food and clothing, has
improved and they are making use of available health care services and sending their chil-
dren to schools, instead of putting them to work. Such an improvement was possible mostly
due to SUJALA Project, which added further strength to already existing SHG movement. As
the managers of their homes they collectively expressed a strong feeling that because of
such programmes, today they stand liberated from their men folk as the sole providers of
domestic needs. Some of the case studies illustrated in the report proved this trend.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (89)
B. COST SHARING- IMPACT
i) Key Role
The “Sujala” Project has duly placed its emphasis on cost–sharing concept that the local
people/ beneficiaries should contribute their share in the cost of improvement and conserva-
tion of their resources of production. It is a key factor in creating (1) a sense of responsibility
towards the project (2) a feeling of ownership and (3) an obligation to participate in the de-
velopment programmes right in their local communities, both on their private/ individual and
common resources of livelihood.
ii) Obstacles to Implement
But the concept of cost-sharing has always been a difficult process to be implemented in the
field both in its letter and spirit, because of some of the mental and material constraints
prevailing in the local communities. The socio-political mindset prevalent in the rural com-
munity acts as an obstacle to accept this proposal willingly by the people. First, there is a
very strong notion held in common that any programme sponsored by the Govt should be
totally subsidized by the Govt itself and the local people should not have any obligation to
meet. Second, the prevailing conditions of poverty in the local communities prevent them
accepting this concept spontaneously. Third, the local people do not generally trust the
financial estimate of the project works, prepared by the Govt agencies, for which they are
supposed to make their contribution and this disbelief plays a crucial role in creating unwill-
ingness for cost sharing. Thus it is their mental condition more than material status that acts
as an obstacle to accept the cost-sharing responsibility in its letter and spirit.
iii) Success Factors
The above explanation is a necessary backdrop to understand the impact of Sujala Pro-
gramme in this regard. The basic approach of social inclusiveness, local participation and
the community driven programme was the first step towards creating favourable condition.
Second, the institutional arrangement adopted by the project further strengthen its scope
for easy acceptance by the people. Third, the role of NGO in giving proper training and
guiding them in all the processes of planning, implementation and monitoring brought a new
thinking among the local people about cost-sharing. Particularly the financial transparency
which was demonstrated in all its forms nullified whatever the misgivings the people suffered
from. Fourth, the official functionaries of the DWD Department too had played a crucial role
in clearing the prevailing disbelief about people’s contribution to their development
progrmmes. For the first time the officials were trusted by the local people and this made
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (90)
easy way for their willingness to contribute their share, whatever the percentages, depending
upon the nature and the type of work and their land holding status. Hence, cost sharing has
been effectively implemented in so far as individually owned landed property was concerned.
Hence, the social impact of cost sharing concept on the local community is so far as the pri-
vate individual property improvement was concerned, has been very positive and successful.
iv) Limitations
But the same thing cannot be concluded in respect of community responsibility towards
common property was concerned. There appeared to be no commitment built around this
concept of cost-sharing for the development of common resources of production. The con-
cept has been followed rather mechanically to fulfill the obligation consisted in the approved
project guidelines, during the project period. But it is glaringly ignored / neglected by the
community groups, people and the village panchayat. However, there are few exceptions in
some districts, where due to the efforts particularly of watershed department staff, common
property such as forestry and horticulture programmes in Dharwad and Haveri districts have
made a success in this regard. There are records of training programme and discussion
contents indicative of creating awareness among people about this responsibility of cost
sharing for community resources development schemes. However, it has not changed the
mindset yet. Neither specially formed community groups, nor the elected body like Village
Panchayat made any objective move towards maintaining the spirit of cost-sharing for either
maintaining the already improved works or taking up of such works in future.
C. BEHAVIORAL IMPACT
(i) Institution System
What distinguished the SUJALA Project from other such development programmes in the
rural area, was its single most important component of Institutional arrangement proposed
and adopted in its implementation. In order to make the project really community driven and
participatory at the local level and reach over to the un- reachable a new model of Institu-
tional system was adopted. Accordingly the whole process of implementation of the
SUJALA Scheme was entrusted to the institutions formed by the local people i.e. CBOs with
required authority and responsibility. Other supporting integral institutions were the
(1) NGOs as intervening agency for training, awareness creation, capacity building, dissemi-
nation of information and guiding the local groups in execution and (2) the Govt Department
functionaries of DWD to provide all technical guidance and act as sustained facilitators in all
aspects of the project execution. The village Panchayat role was limited to the extent of its
two elected members finding place on Executive Committees.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (91)
(ii) Formation of CBOs
The community based groups such as Area Groups, Executive Committees and SHGs were
formed successfully after conducting several Gram Sabhas (Village Councils) meetings
where in, the messages of Sujala project was popularized and positive baseline support from
the village communities coming under the watersheds was enlisted. After several visits,
group interactions, personal discussions with rural elite groups, the functionaries of Govt
Department created a favorable environment in the rural society. This work was carried out
during the preparatory period much before the NGO entered the local fields though the nodal
NGOs were involved to train and give orientation to Govt functionaries right from the start.
Thus the local institutions- CBOs, NGOs and Govt were integrated functionally to achieve
the objectives of Sujala Project.
As per Guidelines and Norms suggested by the project CBOs were successfully formed.
The Area groups and Executive Councils were deliberately formed for the purpose of plan-
ning, implementing and monitoring the project schemes in the watershed area. The villagers
had already experience of forming and working with SHGs and the project involved the
already existing SHGs, but also formed new SHGs with provision of revolving fund, espe-
cially for income generating activities. Formations of CBOs was a most successful pro-
gramme of social mobilization with a dominant motive force generated among the village
community in general to participate willingly in the programmes to build and improve their
resources of production and engaged in income generating activities. The village Pancha-
yats were involved to the extent of two of their elected members finding representation on
Executive Councils.
(iii) Effective Participation
Because of the above institutional arrangement, the study revealed that the local people
were effectively involved in the carrying out of SUJALA project, once they were convinced of
the advantages of the project at least to improve their individual/private enterprises – both on
farm and outside the farm. Their participation both as individual stakeholders and as mem-
bers of the Executive Councils or SHGs reported to have been very spontaneous and mean-
ingful. While Sujala’s main thrust was more on building and preserving the land based re-
sources of production, the scheme seemed to have achieved a greater degree of success
for its employment and income generating activities taken right to the doors of vulnerable
classes in the villages.

(iv) Emergence of Egalitarian Relations
Secondly, the social significance of this institutional arrangement is emergence of egalitarian
norms of relationship between development agencies and the recipients of development
benefits. For the first time Govt functionaries created impressions among the local people
that their primary function was to serve the local people as the facilitators and not to boss.
Integrated work carried out by the CBOs, NGOs and GOs appeared to have brought about
“Social Discipline” especially among the local people, with the thrust on the principle of
“Bottom up” path adopted in the Sujala project.
(v) Emergence of Social Discipline
The “Democratic Planning” and implementation strategy of this kind would succeed only
when “social discipline” is strengthened among participating partners – CBOs, NGOs and
GOs. The way in which the project has functioned and image created among the rural popu-
lation seemed to have nearly maintained the discipline by all the partner institutions. And
this is no mean achievement at this stage, where the macro-level atmosphere is beset with
problems of mismanagement and misuse of project resources.
(vi) Rising Aspirations
The study has further revealed that there has been significant increase in the awareness of
interest in and knowledge about the Sujala project among the village communities. Aspira-
tion to get benefits from the scheme were very high among all the categories of people and
it was observed even among those people who belonged to neighbouring villages of the
selected watersheds, especially for support to income generating activities.
(vii) Power to the People
However, these positive trends are in favour of the project not only due to the visible bene-
fits of improvement in employment and income but also due to their continuous involvement
in all the processes of the project work. The transaction and transparency of the project
process of planning, decision making, execution and monitoring was at once, a new phe-
nomenon hitherto not practiced at the local level by any agency of development. That the
local people, the actual stakeholders/ beneficiaries, were accorded the role of planning and
execution of their development programme was a new phenomenon of power to the people,
which was more often than not heard as a mere slogan of grass root democratic norm than
as a practicing principle of the development agency. The villagers did express their satis-
faction over this institutional arrangement which invoked a new confidence in the efficacy of
the programmes at their doorsteps- a real non material- behavioural impact of the SU-
JALA Project.

CHAPTER 6
SUCCESS STORIES
In general, the project resulted in overall success and met the set objectives of ac-
celerated alleviation of rural poverty, rejuvenating the degraded lands, checking soil
erosion and run off of rain water leading to ground water recharge, higher productiv-
ity of arable and non arable land. While the on-farm developments and benefit
accruals have been amply exhibited and discussed in the foregoing chapters, this chap-
ter deals with the impact of the project on the landless and vulnerable groups of the
communities.
The trends indicated in the impact assessment study by ANTRIX Corporation continued
in the third phase too, in terms of the above tangible outputs. More importantly, the
avowed objective of reducing the income disparities among the landed and landless
has been fulfilled. While this is a general observation, there are a number of success
stories that establish the fact that participatory projects would ensure inclusive growth
and sustainability. This Chapter deals with such success stories across the project
area.
Common Property Management
Together We can make it !- the Nigadi Experiment
A community based programme under Sujala Watershed Project in Amblikoppa sub-
watershed was proposed in R.S.No.116 of Nigadi village. Owing to the interest evinced by
the community and the benefits to be derived in the near future this community based
programme was made successful by development of Agro Forestry, Horticulture and Silvi
Pasture. A total land of 18 ha in the Nigadi village R.S.No. 116 is a hilly slope and the
water flows towards west. The valuable forestry lands covered by Teak, Matti, Heddi and
Kendal roots found in this area of land which were damaged due to cattle grazing and fire
etc. The total landscape had become very hard due to soil erosion. The land was totally
unfruitful and there was no natural growth. Thus, the land was in a barren state. The
villagers were digging the land for stones etc. Even during the rainy season the rain water
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (94)
was to be drained as there were no checks and such water used to flow towards nearby
tanks and ponds with precious soil.
To know the previous status of land use of this region, the localities were contacted as a part
of baseline survey. It was ascertained that earlier also this area was covered by thick forest
with plenty of shrubs and trees of good economic and medicinal value. However, due to
passage of time, the ignorant miscreants started cutting the trees recklessly and this fact is
proved based on the root stock. An analysis of the entire area has transpired certain amaz-
ing facts such as growth of natural trees is more visible than the planted seedlings. With this
background an idea was evolved with a view to restoring the last forest resource leading to
this community driven programme under Sujala Watershed Project.
Treatment
The 18 ha land was surveyed in detail, 8 m trenches in between were dug vertically with a
size of 4.00 x 0.50 x 0.50 and 2,600 trenches have been opened with a view to allowing sto-
rage of water coming from the upper ridge. The nursery seedlings viz., Phyllanthus
emblica, drumstick, pongamia, tamarind, cashew, honne, shivani, nelli, mango & sesbania
have been planted in the trench. The other species which are useful Agro Forest products
have also been planted in the area. Grass seeds like Stylo and jantas have been sown on
mounds to encourage fodder development. To prevent cattle grazing, cattle proof trenches
have been opened around the area as a measure of protection. The community have
employed the services of a watchman. A Nala bund structure is also created to store the
excess water.
Community Participation
The Villagers, Self Help Groups and area groups with a lot of deliberations at their level have
developed the area with mutual consent, co-operation and total participation. The Sujala
Sanghas have taken the responsibility to protect the area.
Social Agreement
A Social Agreement was entered into on 18-10-2006 between the Kanavi Basaveshwar
Sangh, Nigadi and Sarasevati Sujala Self Help Group Nigadi to share the Forest Produce in
future and also to safeguard the area systematically. This waste land is now covered with
many plants giving a look of greenery across and there is a healthy growth of all the plants
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (95)
with a successful growth of 3 feet grass. Due to planned afforestation, soil erosion has
been considerably reduced which has paved way for healthy growth of plants. The area
around this has become useful for cultivation due to increase in ground water level. The
basic needs like fodder, fruits and forest produce have helped to fulfill the acute need of local
people.
Learning
The community efforts with the timely intervention of the department staff, the silvi-Horti-
pasture is now being developed as a thick forest and has become a safe zone for wild ani-
mals & birds. Peacock & rabbits are the common inhabitants of this forest. The trenches
opened for planting trees have been filled with rain water giving no room for draining a drop
of water. This has resulted in rejuvenation of well and bore wells in the adjacent fields.
The people residing around this area have now realized the great mystery of forests and are
evincing interest to develop and also to protect with great care and caution. With the ser-
vices of the present watchman continued for another 3-4 years the sustainability at the for-
est as well as forest resources will be assured. The village communities have agreed to
ensure that this plantation would be protected against any damage or rampant use
of usufructs. In another five years, this plantation would start yielding economic benefits
to the community. Since all the neighbouring farmers have been covered under the pro-
ject, there is a sense of commitment by them to take care of this community planta-
tion. Sharing of the usufructs is agreed at fifty- fifty basis between the DWD and Vil-
lage CBOs.
A visit to this plantation would prove that together we can make it !
IGA Some Success stories
In general SUJALA has opened up many avenues to the vulnerable groups and
afforded opportunities for income generation through self employment. The training
programmes organized under the project have been effectively used to women among
whom are most vulnerable with fragile economic status. Therefore, innumerable success
stories can be narrated mainly attributed to the project. However, a few deserve to be
highlighted. The success stories are unique in themselves since they do not represent
usual traditional activities but speak of transforming rural scenario.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (96)
1 Food Processing- Road to Prosperity
Gangambika, an educated housewife had been yearning for earning additional income
for quite some time. The SUJALA campaign for promoting Self Help Groups came
handy to her. She joined Mahalakshmi Self Help Group and started saving by borrow-
ing from her relatives. Not happy with borrowing and saving, she decided to start her
own food processing unit. She could not join any service since she had a small child
to look after. She finally decided to take up self employment. She decided to prepare
papads. She took advantage of the EDP and joined the awareness programme and
selected food processing as an avocation with the guidance of the NGO. She
received training in making papad of different types and also spices and condiments,
pickle making, and other savories. Gangambika was provided a loan assistance of Rs
7,500 from the revolving fund provided by SUJALA. She started her business in right
earnest and her daily production reached 1000 papads. After providing for the cost at
Rs 230/- and earns Rs 270/ per day and around 6,300 a year. She is not only en-
gaged throughout the year, but also has given employment to another lady to assist
her. Initially she had to confront a number of difficulties mainly (b) sales at lower price
(ii) inferiority complex (iii) quality problems. Finally she decided to go to nearby Korata-
gere town to find market. As the luck would have it, she came in contact with a hotel-
ier who started purchasing all her produce every day. Due to good quality there was
good demand from neighbouring shops and she has been supplying papad to many
such buyers and earning between Rs. 6,500 and 12,000/month from sale of papad
alone. She has plans to add other spices and sell under her own brand name. She
has all praise for SUJALA and particularly the SHG that came to her help.
2 Changing Face of Rural India
This is a success story of an young lady with grit and guts to enter into new
domain, i.e. setting up of a beauty parlor in a village!. We have seen beauty parlors
flourish in urban areas but taking this profession to rural area and successfully manag-
ing is a real challenge.
Savita, who completed her secondary education, had a long cherished ambition of tak-
ing training in beauty parlor but had no wherewithal. After her marriage she was
compelled to return to her parental home due to her husband’s accident. She along with
her two young children lived with her parents. She had a challenge of supporting her
family, including her cancer affected father , and small children.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (97)
SUJALA came to her help. She joined Shri Mata Self Help Group. She was spon-
sored for a training in beauty parlor management and EDP organized by the NGO
and successfully completed the course. She studied many beautification techniques
like eyebrow, facials and bleaching, hair trimming etc. On completion of her training
she was provided Rs 7500 from the SUJALA Revolving fund. She borrowed another
Rs 5000 from SHG and arranged additional Rs 10,000 from friends and relatives
(around Rs 22,000) and invested in the business. She started hiring out equipments for
functions which gave her around Rs 2,500/- a month. In addition, she is engaged in
running the parlor which gives her around another 2,000/- a month, thus her monthly
income is around Rs 4500/- She repaid her loan in monthly installment of Rs 1500/.
She is earning an average annual income of Rs 50,000 /- She has also taken an
Insurance policy of the value of Rs 1.50 lakhs to secure her future. She attributes this
change of luck to SUJALA which gave her an opportunity of realizing her dream. Ms
Savita wants to expand her business to dealing with bangles and other essentials of
the women folk in the area. She also wants to train some young women in this skill so
that they also can benefit from IGAs.
3. Spreading the Fragrance
This is the story of Mrs Kamala, a member of Durgamba SHG in Irakasandra in Korata-
gere taluk of Tumkur District, a married woman with three young children to look after.
An agriculture labour by tradition was struggling hard to meet the two ends. She could
not continue her agriculture labour as it required her being away from her home and
leaving her small children either at the care of somebody or carrying them with her
thus exposing the tiny tots to sun, rain and adverse weather conditions. She wanted to
do something at home so that her income is assured and her children are taken care
of.
The skill development programme being implemented under SUJALA gave her an
opportunity to think seriously to take up Agarbatti (incense sticks). She attended a
fifteen-day Agarbatti making skill training programme and successfully completed it.
She set up her unit and initially used the material supplied in the training programme.
Her daily production started with 1,000/2,000 incense sticks. Since she was not ex-
posed to marketing, she stored the product at home. She was guided by the marketing
specialist of the NGO who introduced her to an Agarbatti dealer in the nearby town of
Dobaspet. The dealer was requested to start a small Agarbatti procurement centre in
her village so that others in the nearby villages could also take advantage of the mar-
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (98)
ket. The dealer provided assured market to her product. Her daily output increased
to 6,000 sticks and income rose from Rs 30 to 90 to a monthly income of Rs 2,700/-
after providing for the cost of material. Taking a cue from the success story of Ka-
mala, as many as 30 women in surrounding villages also took to Agarbatti making
and their daily output is around 4,000 sticks. This is purchased at Rs 15/- per 1000
sticks. Average earning of these women now is Rs 2,000 per month.
4 Media Messenger
Media, more importantly, electronic media has become a part of our life and has
spread across rural areas too. Changing economic environment and enhanced income
has given rise to use of electronic gadgets even in rural areas as much as in urban
centres. Time and labour saving equipments have adorned rural kitchens with grinders
and mixers thus giving great relief to the women folk. There is hardly any home where
there is no electronic gadget like TV, radio, tape recorder and so on. Considering this
changing rural scenario, an young man, Mr Kiran, a resident of Seegepalya, in Ken-
ganapalya Micro Watershed area, was attracted to the profession of servicing of such
electronic equipments by setting up his repair shop within the village itself so that
people do not have to rush to urban centres for repairs. Mr Kiran joined skill devel-
opment programme organized under SUJALA and successfully completed a thirty-
day course.
Influenced by the training, he approached the local SHG, Parvati Stree Shakti and got
Rs 7,500 as loan. He mobilized another Rs 5,000 from his own source and set up his
electronic repair shop. He invested Rs 7,500 in purchase of equipments.
Right from the beginning, he has been earning between Rs. 200 and 300 per day. He
is providing financial support to his family. His monthly earning is around Rs. 6,000
from repairs.
He is now cherishing the dream of opening an electronic goods shop so that he can
earn some margin from sale and also income through repairs.
This certainly is the changing face of rural India !

5. Designing life through outfitting
This is the story of a housewife with marginal land holding, a resident of Sankenhally
in Tumkur District. A family of five members was eking out livelihood from whatever
they got from - a small patch of 0.3 hectare of land. Only one person of the family was
the sole bread earner. Prompted by local women and the NGO, Mrs Sharadamba,
joined Shri Bhagyalakshmi Self Help Group. She was sponsored from IGA training /
EDP and opted for dress designing and tailoring. She had some basic knowledge of
tailoring before she was married. This training provided her an excellent opportunity to
specialize in dress designing and outfitting of wide range of garments and hosiery like
frocks, churi dar, under garments etc and various other types but specialized in Churi
dar designing. After completion of the training, she bought a sewing machine at a cost
of Rs. 4,000. She worked very hard to meet orders and started earning around
Rs. 200/- day. Encouraged by her success, two more women approached with a re-
quest to train them in her skill. She willingly agreed to help them and as a result, the
two women are trainees with her. Nearby schools recognized her skill and started plac-
ing orders for bulk supply of school uniforms. Her daily output is between 3 and 4
blouses and churidar. She spends an amount of Rs 70/75 per day for material for out-
fits and her net earning is around Rs 200/-
She is cherishing a dream of purchasing one more sewing machine, engaging some
trainee tailors and improving her economic status. She has plans to support another
10 women with training in dress designing.
She has great respect and acknowledges the help rendered by SUJALA and the
team that motivated her to change her life.
POND RELATED SUCCESS STORIES

juveniles, Catla 8, (137.5 gm each), common Carp – 71 (66.2 gms each) harvested from wa-
ter reduced farm pond of P Srinivasmurthy ( Anoodi) under resource integration. He used
agriculture water an kitchen waste as feed for fishes.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (100)
After 3.5 months of raring, he harvested 17.5 kgs of fishes and found common carp inbred in
his storage tank, there by there is continuous, breeding raring and harvest of fishes. He has
periodically harvested fishes and used for home consumption and additional income. He has
harvested 110 kgs of fishes from his storage tank in a year worth Rs 4000. Still there is con-
tinuous raring of fishes and he is still enjoying fish culture.
2 Rangappa –Use of pond water for agriculture-horticulture
Mr. Rangappa, one of the small farmers in Papaganahalli Micro watershed of Gauribindur
Taluk in Kumudwati water shed area has made an attempt for effective use of water through
farm pond. He owns 1.3 ha of land. His family consists of wife 2 sons and 1 daughter and
belongs to upper caste. He himself constructed a farm pond of size 15 x 15 x 3n under the
supervision of Watershed Development Department. In the rainy season, the pond har-
vested 14 lakh liters of water in a year. He has utilized farm pond water for growing Napier
grass, tomato and green vegetables on the pond bund and inside the pond bund (waste
land).
He has harvested 625 kgs of Napier grass, 43 kgs of tomato and 10 kgs if green vegetables
and sold for Rs 625/-, Rs 305/-, and Rs 60/- respectively achieving total earnings of Rs 990/-
by using waster land of farm pond dyke.
In addition, he has utilized farm pond of water for supplementary irrigation maize crop grown
in the adjacent land of 0.3 ha during the scarcity of rainfall, by this he has earned Rs 1750/-
extra money, when compared to other farmers supplementary irrigation in the same area. In
this way he has earned Rs 2740/- by utilizing farm pond water. He acknowledged that sujala
water shed programme has provided access to water in his dry land through farm pond and
fisheries project for continue technical supporters

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
� A multi agency participatory project of this nature and magnitude throws many
challenges in the course of its implementation. In general, the community approach
to project implementation has been a great success.
� The project has generally succeeded in ensuring equitable sharing of cost and
benefits among different sections of the communities. Average family income
has increased between 30 and 50 per cent depending on the on farm and non
farm activities of individual farmers. In some cases income has risen by 100%
but such cases are far and wide.
� Role of community groups, more importantly the Self Help Groups and Area
Groups in all the phases of implementation was spontaneous and positive.
� The objective of restoring/ rejuvenating natural resources is largely fulfilled. This
is reflected in reduced soil erosion by about 40% over the pre project period,
elongated water availability by two months to the village communities for multiple
use, better tree cover and enhanced ecological status, rising water table, reduc-
tion in the number of defunct wells etc.
� In respect of works, the project, rushing the execution in the last phase created
difficulties in meeting the deadline.
� Shortfall between planning and achievement of SWAP is significant ranging
between 20 and 30%.in respect of Phase I and II. But it is near to target during
III phase.
� Economic gains from the project are significant and have boosted the house-
hold income across the watersheds –both in respect of landed and landless
community members. More importantly, over 25,000 IGA beneficiaries and over
80,000 SHG members have been benefitted by the project in terms of incre-
mental income and employment. This has resulted in reduced incidence of mi-
gration to urban centres in search of livelihood.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (103)
� A very positive impact is seen among the community groups’ understanding
and knowledge enhancement, inclusive approach and mutual understanding for
a common cause as is evidenced from near total absence of local differences
and issues.
� The social objective of better equity among partners is discernible and augurs
well for all the future interventions.
� On the economic front, very encouraging changes are seen in respect of crop-
ping pattern, crop intensity, through mono to multi cropping system, crop diversi-
fication, yield improvement across watersheds.
� Income generating activities have helped large number of vulnerable sections of
the society including tribals and women in improving their economic status.
� Transparency in the processes and implementation has proved that the commu-
nity can be roped into any developmental programmes.
� Incremental income accruals to women entrepreneurs has resulted in their eco-
nomic independence and consequently greater say in household decisions
and processes.
� Off farm activities, mainly dairy and livestock rearing, have resulted in incre-
mental milk production to meet growing need for the increasing population.
� Sujala model has created “Demonstration Effect” in the region with more and
more people adopting the tested and improved practices in agriculture and
horticulture, leading to incremental income earning and enhanced knowledge.
� Effective monitoring and evaluation, self assessment and conflict resolution sys-
tems are major attributes of success of the project.
� Greater responsibility discharged by the WDD personnel deserves to be appre-
ciated but for whose motivation and hard work, community mobilization on such
a large scale could not have been possible.
Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd, SRO, Bangalore (104)
� The role of NGOs by and large, is positive and effective as most of them have
responded to the demands and expectations placed on them.
� The SUJALA model is worth replicating in other regions for effective and better
results in time bound manner with the following issues to be addressed.
• A disturbing feature of the project is its failure to motivate communities
and ensure maintenance of community properties while they get benefit
out of the same.
• Agriculture Intensification and related research programmes need to be
extended to longer periods and continuous feedback system necessary to
ensure that transfer of technology and participative research is carried
out in specific areas and for specific crops.
• Huge sums of money invested in building / developing these lands/
structures might go waste if not properly maintained;
ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION
� Sustainability of the interventions particularly maintenance and upkeep of the
community resources.
� Mechanism to ensure commitment by the community groups.
� Hand holding some time beyond project period.
� Avoiding congesting of activities in later part of project phase to ensure quality
and quantity of works.
� Sustainability of community based organisations.
� Rising labour wages and shortage causing serious problems to the farmers.
� SHGs role in organised marketing and value addition to their advantage.
� Greater role for CBOs in the project implementation and maintenance of CPRs.
� Realistic SWAP preparation to avoid shortfall.
� Fixing targets based on the need of the MWS to ensure holistic development and not partial. � Coverage of entire treatable land should be considered as far as possible. In the
event of funds constraints, the number of Sub Water sheds could be reduced. � Agri intensification research programmes need intensification and concurrent
monitoring and feedback from farmers.

SALIENT HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SELECTED MICRO WATERSHEDS
COVERED UNDER THE SURVEY
The beneficiary survey covered 46 micro watersheds in equal number of sub
watersheds in the three agro climatic zones and six districts. Some baseline
information accessed during the survey covered the following:
Population Coverage
Total number of households in the selected MCs as per 2001 Census was 14,970
comprising 2,351 Scheduled Castes, 1,961 Scheduled Tribes and 8,801 others .
Among the livestock, sheep and goats constituted more than half of the 47,000 plus
livestock in the MC areas. Among large animals cows predominated while buffaloes
had very small representation in the livestock wealth of the MC villages.
Treated Area
Area taken for treatment was 27,000 hectares of which 22,300 plus was private land
and 3,500 plus community land. .
CBOs
In all 46 Executive Committees were constituted to carry out the work and 270 Area
Groups were formed with around 11,000 plus members representing all the villages.
The Area Groups were motivated to save and collect from the members and thus had a
saving of Rs 26.62 lakhs collected from members and other beneficiaries. They also had
provided credit from own fund to the extent of Rs 6.58 lakhs .
The project had provided opportunities to the EC members to undergo training in wide
ranging programmes to acquaint them with the participatory project management. As
many as 3400 members of the executive committee were covered under various
programmes with 350 exposure visits.

Self Help Groups
In all 381 Self Help Groups with 6,715 members comprising 1,192 Scheduled Castes,
860 Scheduled Tribes and 4,663 others were involved in the project. Motivation and
training was provided to the SHG members mainly in respect of (i) management of
the group (ii) EDP and (iii) skill development programme. These Groups participated
in the 46 Executive Committees and provided useful inputs in formulation of action plans
and execution. These Grass Root level organizations had successfully raised savings
aggregating to Rs 1.91 crores (with an average saving of Rs 3000/-per person ). The
Groups had advanced a sum of Rs 3.00 crores of loan to their members to take up
income generating activities. Cumulative loan disbursal amounted to Rs 4.91 crores of
which nearly 50 per cent had been paid and balance was being recovered in agreed
instalments. Overall performance of these groups was very satisfactory and almost
95% are successfully carrying out their other activities after the project closure.

engaged in floriculture accounted as high as 8% per cent again in Dharwad followed
by Tumkur (around 5%).
� About 70 percent of the vulnerable groups work as labour (agriculture as well as
non agriculture) to supplement their income apart from agriculture.
� Per Capita Income: The data for the year 1997-98 as presented in the report
indicated that the per capita income of the districts varied marginally. Overall,
the PCI for the study area was estimated at Rs.10,103/- against the State
average of Rs.13,621/-. None of the districts had per capita income nearer to the
State average. Lowest per capita income was reported from Tumkur
(Rs.9011/-) while highest was in respect of Chitradurga (Rs.10,989/-).
� Land Use: As per the survey, the project study area accounted for larger
barren land than state average. Kolar and Tumkur accounted for higher
barren lands at 8.11% and 6.34% respectively as against State average of

about 4.2%. Percentage of cultivable waste land, and land under permanent
pastures is higher than state average and particularly in Tumkur. Consequently,
net area sown has lower percentage and varies among districts. Among the
districts, percentage of area sown more than once was as high as 20% in
Dharwar and Haveri against a meagre 2.67 and 2.9% in case of Kolar and
Tumkur.

� It was seen that in respect of all types of land use, the study area had higher
percentage including net sown area which was higher than state average by
about 4 per cent. Current fallows were almost 9% of the geographical area. However,
permanent pastures did have higher than State average share indicating that
livestock rearing was being supported in the study area.
� Land holding pattern: In respect of land holdings also the study area had a
number of deviations from the state averages as detailed in the following table:
(in percentages)
Size group Study area State Average Deviation
Marginal 11.35 10.30 Higher Small 21.18 20.50 Higher Semi Medium 27.45 27.20 Marginally higher

o The study also brought out the fact that between 2 to 121% of those cultivating
land are tenants. Highest percent of land owners was seen in Chitradurga and
APPENDIX_2_Sujala_Rev_Dec_7_11 APPENDIX -2

Tumkur (72% each) an lowest in Haveri (62%). Consequently, tenancy was
observed to be higher in this district while in case of Tumkur it was just 2%.
o Among the study districts, Tumkur had highest landless households (37%)
followed by Haveri (25%), Chitradurga (24%), Kolar (21%) and Dharwad (21%).
� Irrigation Sources: Borewells constituted largest source of irrigation water in
the study districts ranging between 30 to as high as 56% of all sources used
for irrigation. This was much higher than the state average of 17.4%. The second
largest source was wells which predominated in Kolar and Tumkur. In Kolar
(88%) major source of irrigation is accounted by open and bore wells followed
by Tumkur 72%, Chitradurga (53%) while Dharwad and Haveri accounted for
about 48% of the irrigation source coming from tanks and canals. The net
area irrigated was lower in all the study districts than state average of 23.45%,
the lowest being Haveri and Dharwad (16.33%).
� 6 Cropping Pattern: Major crops in the study districts were Ragi, Maize, Paddy
and Jowar (kharif cereals), groundnut, sunflower (kharif), cotton, and sugarcane .
Among Rabi crops: Jowar, wheat, maize and to some extent Ragi (Kolar and
Tumkur) dominated cereal crops while horse gram, green gram and bengal gram
among pulses, sunflower, safflower (oilseeds) and cotton were major rabi crops
taken in almost all the districts.
� Crop Yields: The study indicated that land productivity in the project districts was
very poor as compared to the state average, particularly Haveri, Dharwad and
Tumkur where productivity was still lower. Land productivity ranges shown
below indicate comparative performance of each of the crops.

� If crops like cotton and sugarcane are excluded the per hectare yield for the
study districts, would be around 1.25 tons (around 5 quintals/hectare). Sugarcane
is an irrigated and annual crop and occupies smaller areas than all the cereals,
pulses and oilseeds put together and therefore, its impact on the productivity may
not be significant in so far as dry land cultivation is concerned.
Common Property Resources (CPRs): They include Gomal (Pasture) and village forest
lands. They are either owned by Panchayats or the Revenue Department. As per
study, maintenance of the CPRs was very poor due to (i) exploitation by the villagers to
meet their fodder and fuel wood requirement and (ii) encroachment. In many cases
they were also encroached without any check. The village communities were also not
interested in maintenance of the CPRs collectively or through Panchayats.

PART II
BASELINE SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS - ANTRIX CORPORATIOIN
A baseline study conducted by Antrix Corporation in selected sub watersheds in six
districts was studied with a view to assessing the impact of the project. Details in
respect of the SWS in Kolar, Chikkaballapura, Tumkur, Chitradurga, Haveri and Dharwad
were analysed. Main objective of this exercise was to confirm bench marks as
observed during the post project impact assessment study under Phase III. The field
surveys conducted under Pase III and output generated from the farmers one to one
interactions were compared with the bench mark surveys carried out earlier by Antrix
Corporation. The outputs related to average income per household, fuel and fodder
requirement and availability, livestock and other wealth available with the farmers.
Average Household Income
The average household income in respective sub watersheds showed that about 56
per cent of the control farmers (small, marginal and large) had an average income range
between Rs 5000/- and Rs.25000/- in all the six districts. Farmers with income
bracket between Rs 25000-Rs.50,000/- accounted for about constituted about per cent
while those above Rs 50,000/- income bracket were very small in number across the
districts (7%). As indicated in the following Table

Crop intensity: This ranged between 95 per cent to 105 per cent among the five
districts. The project areas had about 2% fallow lands.
Livestock Wealth: Livestock rearing is predominant among rural households both
land owners and landless households. Composition of livestock reared by households
was different in respect of different districts. Predominant among them were small
animals (sheep and goat) with 44 percent share followed mulch animals with 32 per cent
share as indicated in the following Table:

Population by Socio- Economic Categories
The household survey indicated that households could be put to the following
categories:
Big farmers : 30- per cent, Small farmers -30 percent, Marginal farmers-25 percent and
Landless -15 per cent. This varied among districts. Small and Marginal farmers accounted
for about 60 percent while large farmers represented 25 of the total household. Landless
labour percentage varied between 15 to 20 percent.
