5. PROJECT OBJECTIVES

a) Sectoral objectives as indicated in the medium term/ five year plan

The strategies for conservation of water provided in the Punjab Growth Strategy (PGS),

2018 (page-73) envisages “Water conservation at farms through the increased adoption of HEIS

such as drip and sprinkler systems”. PGS also envisages “to focus on the expansion of irrigated

agriculture in Thal”. The Framework for Implementation of National Climate Change Policy also

envisages “Identify and implement most efficient irrigation techniques such as sprinklers and

trickle irrigation etc.” as short term action 1.1.3 at page-11. As such, the proposed project activities

are completely inline with the sectoral objectives outlined in the Pakistan Vision 2025, NCCP,

PGS and PASP.

b) Project Objectives

The main objective of the project is to enhance gram cultivation in Thal area and strengthen

small farmers’ resilience to droughts under changing climate. The key objectives of the project

would include, inter alia, the followings.

i. Save the gram crop from failure during drought conditions by providing life saving

irrigation with sprinkler irrigation system

ii. Promote cultivation of pulses in the project area through developing site specific

agronomic recommendations to enhance production of pulses for self sufficiency

iii. Sustain farm income/profitability of small landholders to improve their livelihoods and

alleviate poverty under changing climate in Thal area

iv. Build capacity of the farmers to cultivate pulses under extreme climate change events

c) Sectoral Linkages/Relationship

The proposed project is inline with all sectoral objectives and plans. The Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) are comprehensive universal set of 17 goals and 169 targets/ indicators

around which future development agenda of the world have been framed till 2030. Goal-2 and

Goal-6 of SDGs focus on ensuring sustainable food production systems and implement resilient

agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems,

that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and

other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.

-5-

The proposed project is in line with the development plans of the Punjab Government and

has strong relationship with the Punjab Growth Strategy 2018, which envisages “focus on the

expansion of irrigated agriculture in Thal and aims at both improve supply and optimize

utilization of water, seeds, fertilizers and machinery for achieving the targeted agricultural

growth”. The government's vision for agriculture sector encompasses land development and

water conservation by making timely availability of water and its efficient use through modern

irrigation technologies.

The proposed project interventions aim at pilot testing of sprinkler irrigation technologies

for successful cultivation of pulses in the Thal desert and subsequently recommending a plan for

sustainable cultivation of gram in these areas through life saving irrigations at appropriate growth

stages with the sprinkler system. It would contribute in enhancing gram productivity, promote

alternate crops like Mung, Gawar, Mints, Millets etc. for increasing farm income, improving

livelihood of people, enabling farmers to adjust the agriculture practices with varying

environments, and alleviating poverty.

d) In case of revised project, indicate objectives of the project if different from original

PC-I

Not applicable.

6. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

I) Background/Justification

a) Rationale of the Project

Under the emerging challenges of climate change, food security and water scarcity,

increase in production of cereals, pulses, fruits and vegetables to meet the food requirement of

increasing population is direly needed. In countries like Pakistan, majority of the people living in

rural areas consume substantial quantity of pluses for meeting their daily meal needs because these

are rich source of protein and substitute of other costly sources of protein e.g. meat and fish. Major

pulses include Gram, Lentil, Moong and Mash. The pulses are grown on 5% of the country’s total

cultivated area. Punjab contributes 80% in total production of the pulses in the country and

occupies 5% of the total cropped area.

The agriculture sector has become extremely vulnerable to the climate change. During recent

years, the production of all crops has been affected by the climatic changes, pulses are no

exception. For instance, production of gram has been badly affected in severe drought season as

its production totally depends upon the intensity and distribution of rainfall, being cultivated

mostly in rain-fed areas.

-6-

The per capita availability of pulses from local production has significantly declined and

hence supplemented by its import. The import bill of Pakistan on pulses has increased significantly

during last few years and there is no export of pulses. The year-wise import of pulses during last

five years is shown in Figure-1. These pulses have been imported from Australia, Myanmar,

Canada, Tanzania and Ethiopia.

Figure-1: Quantity vis-à-vis Value of Import of Pulses

b) Case of Gram/ Chickpea

Gram/ Chickpea is one of the most important pulses used in the Punjab, Pakistan. It is

valued for its nutritive seeds with high protein content. Chickpea seeds are eaten fresh as green

vegetable, parched, fried, roasted, and boiled; as snack food, sweet and condiments; seeds are

ground and the flour can be used as soup and to make bread; prepared with pepper, salt and lemon

it is served as a side dish as well as dal chana is very popular.

Chickpea/ Gram is the major source of livelihood of rural people in the Thal desert of

Punjab that is well known as home of chickpea because the area cannot support/sustain major cash

crops due to low fertility and lack of irrigation. Its production entirely depends upon the intensity

and distribution of rainfall. There are two main types of chickpea, distinguished by seed size, shape

and colour. The first relatively small seed is called desi and with large seed called kabuli. Desi

chickpea is cultivated mainly in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. Thal accounts for the bulk of

production of this crop. Chickpeas are mainly grown in Mianwali, Bhakhar, Khushab, Layyah,

-7-

Muzaffargarh and Jhang districts under rain-fed conditions. The crop has been grown on about

2.129 million acres during 2016-17.

Chickpeas grow in the Rabi season with cool moderate temperatures for growth. The crop

can tolerate high temperatures during maturity but it is very susceptible to diseases, if humidity is

high during extended rains or over irrigation or if grown in shallow watertable soils. It is also

sensitive to soil and water salinity. Chickpea is well suited for growing on residual moisture left

in the soil from Kharif season.

Gram/ Chickpea contributes 70-80% to the total pulses area and production. The gram

cultivated area and its production is decreasing as shown in Figure-2 and Figure-3, respectively,

which reveals that both the area and production trends are declining over the period from 2008-09

to 2015-16.

Figure-2: Gram cultivated area over the period of last eight years

-8-

Figure-3: Gram production over the period of last eight years

The Bhakkar district is the largest producer of gram in the Punjab. The area under

cultivation and production of Chickpea/ Gram in Bhakkar is shown in the Table-1 below.

c) Crop Water Requirement

The total seasonal average crop water requirement of gram (Chickpea) has been calculated

using the scientific method, which comes to about 275 mm (11 inch) and ranges from 250-315

mm (10-13 inch) as presented in Table-2. The crop is, however, liable to lodging and disease with

extra vegetative growth when there is high moisture and humid conditions. Accordingly, irrigation

should be restricted to one or two applications in early vegetative phase and at flowering or pod

formation stage. It has been observed that delay in rainfall during specific growth stages due to

-9-

shifting of rainfall patterns owing to climate change phenomenon severely affects crop growth and

resultantly leads to crop failure, if life-saving irrigation is not applied at such stages. It can be

concluded that the production of Gram is directly proportional to light but well distributed rains

during its growth period.

Table-2: Average Crop Water Requirement of Gram (Chickpea)

d) Research Evidences

There are many studies conducted by the researchers for impact assessment and technical

feasibility of sprinkler irrigation for growing pulses in arid environment. One of such study titled

“Technical feasibility and the Performance of Sprinkler Irrigation system in Mannar, Sri Lanka”

published during 2015 revealed that use of sprinkler irrigation technologies resulted in a significant

improvement in gross income, net income and yield, over the conventional methods of irrigation.

Net income of groundnut, onion, green gram, were higher than those of the conventional method

by 59%, 45% & 47%, respectively.

Similarly, another study on Economics of Chickpea Production in the Thal Desert of

Pakistan has highlighted climatic uncertainty due to erratic rainfall in the Thal desert as the main

obstacle of crop production under rainfed conditions. The study revealed that during the drought

periods all the produce is vanished and even farmer had no seed to sow for the next year. Lack of

irrigation at critical growth stages of crop has been identified as major constraint in declining area

vis-à-vis low yield.

e) Potential Areas and Opportunities for Gram Cultivation

The climatic uncertainty due to erratic rainfall in the Thal desert is the main obstacle in

crop production under rainfed conditions. During the drought periods, there is absolutely no

produce and even the farmer has no seed to sow in the next year. The major reasons for low yield

of gram identified by the Arid Zone Research, Institute, Bhakkar are poor sandy soils, erratic

rainfall pattern, uneven rainfall distribution, small holdings, less or no access to quality seed,

conventional agronomic practices and poor marketing system. Supplementary irrigation at critical

stages of crop growth in required quantity plays a vital role in getting the high yield vis-à-vis

production in Thal area.

There are opportunities for growers to get potential yields for enhancing income from

chickpea cultivation by ensuring lifesaving irrigation to the gram crop. It has been observed that

sprinkler irrigation has proved very beneficial for successful cultivation of gram crop because it

helps to maintain favorable growing environment for the crop through maintaining proper soil

moisture level. It is indicated that various types of sprinkler systems may be pilot tested for life

saving irrigation for promotion of gram cultivation in Thal area. These may be either simple fixed

raingun or portable sprinkler system or reel system or center pivot system or any other combination

depending upon site-specific requirements and choice of the farmers. The facility of solar system

as prime mover may also be made available from the on-going ADP scheme, if required at any

site.

It is further indicated that farmers in these areas usually have water source in the form of

tubewell and they may require watercourse to be constructed for successful conveyance of precious

irrigation water to the gram fields. The water may also be conveyed through pipes and lifted from

the watercourse/ distribution box through sprinkler system for irrigation at critical growth stages

of gram. The facility of irrigation scheme may be provided on such sites from the PIPIP, if

required.

II) PROJECT COMPONENTS

The major activities to be carried out under the proposed project would include, interalia,

the followings.

(a) Awareness creation and capacity building of gram/ pulses growers for successful

cultivation of gram with sprinkler irrigation under changing climate.

(b) Installation of site specific sprinkler irrigation system on 1,680 acres for serving about

5,000 acres.

(c) Carry out research trials on gram cultivation under sprinkler irrigation systems to

develop/ recommend a sustainable, economical and practical gram production

technology for successful gram cultivation in Thal region.

A conceptual layout of envisaged project activities for successful cultivation of gram/

pulses under the proposed project is given in Figure-4.

-11-

Figure-4: Conceptual Layout of Envisaged Interventions

A. Awareness Creation and Capacity Building

Awareness creation and capacity building of the farmers regarding modern crop production

technologies has got paramount importance during recent years. The well informed and

knowledgeable farmers can significantly enhance productivity of all inputs of crop production i.e.

water, nutrients, energy, labor, capital etc. It is, accordingly, planned to create awareness and

motivate farming community to actively participate in project activities for enhancing production

of gram/ chickpea and pulses. The farmers will be made aware of need for life saving irrigation,

sprinkler irrigation system, its benefits, operation and maintenance of the system, good agronomic

practices for successful cultivation of pulses etc. The awareness creation regarding the sprinkler

system will be the responsibility of the OFWM staff.

A comprehensive mass awareness campaign would be launched in print and electronic

media about project activities, services/facilities available to the farmers under the proposed

scheme, and impacts/benefits of the interventions. It is planned to accelerate this activity for mass

awareness focusing on local newspapers and agricultural magazines. A short documentary on

successful cultivation of gram with sprinkler system may be prepared through Directorate of

Agricultural Information for effective dissemination of knowledge among various stakeholders.

It is also planned to carryout capacity building of farmers for successful cultivation of

pulses with sprinkler irrigation system. Training courses and field days will be organized by the

Water Management Training Institute, Lahore.

B. Installation of Sprinkler Irrigation System

The sprinkler system is the overhead irrigation whereby water is sprayed on the soil/crop

somewhat like rain. A typical sprinkling unit comprises of an electric or diesel pumping unit, a

portable or buried main pipeline with hydrants at predetermined intervals, and one or more

sprinklers attached to hydrants or hose. Sprinkler systems are classified into various types on the

basis of their spray pattern and mobility/portability.

a) Raingun

Raingun systems use large volume sprinklers operating at relatively high pressures (3-6

bars), mounted on a riser stand or towed through the field. In permanent system of installation,

raingun riser stands are permanently fitted to solid pipeline network. The off-take points are either

below the ground or elevated above the ground level fixed in masonry/concrete. In semi-permanent

system, pipeline network is usually permanent and rain gun riser stand or only raingun is shifted

from one location to the other. The pros and cons of raingun is given in Table-3 below. Rain gun

sprinkler head and a raingun operating in the field are shown in Figure-5, respectively.

Table-3: Pros and Cons of Raingun

Pros Cons

• Easier operation

• Relatively cheaper than other sprinkler

systems

• May be used for undulating fields

• Easy handling

• Low maintenance

• Requires relatively high pressure

• Susceptible to thefts of hydrants

• Low efficiency/ less irrigation uniformity in

high wind velocity areas

Figure-5: Typical Raingun

-13-

b) Portable/ Semi- Portable Sprinkler System

Movable/ Portable system may have portable main lines, sub-mains and a portable

pumping unit. It is designed to be moved from one field to other field or to different locations in

the same field. Semi-movable system is similar to movable except the water source, pumping unit

and/or mainline are fixed. It is indicated that such system installed on about 5 acres may serve

about 15 acres of adjacent/ adjoining areas. The pros and cons of portable/ semi- portable sprinkler

system is given in Table-4 below.

Table-4: Pros and Cons of portable/ semi- portable sprinkler system

Pros Cons

• More farmer friendly due to simple operation

• More efficient compared to raingun

• Less maintenance

• Low power requirement

• Less operational expenses

• Light weight compared to raingun

• Suitable for undulated sites

• No risk of system chocking

• Relatively more labour intensive

• More wear and tear due to portability

Figure-6: Portable/ Semi- Portable Sprinkler System

c) Hose Reel System

The hose reel sprinkler system uses a flexible hose for supply of water to the gun. A winch

cable anchored at the end of the field pulls the cart through the field. These systems have their own

power unit and cable mounted directly on the machine (Figure-7). The power unit may be an

internal combustion engine or a water drive. This system requires more labor and higher operating

pressures than center pivots and linear moves.

-14-

Figure-7: Hose Pull Reel Carriage System

Table-5: Pros and Cons of Hose Reel System

Pros Cons

• Less maintenance cost

• Easy operation

• Provide flexibility of operation

• Relatively cheaper in case of larger farms

• Less wear and tear

• Costlier than other sprinkler systems

• Require special track for movement of

hose pipe and gun

• Dedicated tractor is required for

movement of hose reel

d) Center Pivot System

Central pivot sprinkler is a form of overhead irrigation consisting of self-propelled

sprinklers rotating continuously around the pivot (center) point mounted on a trussed beam. It is a

continuous move system comprising of a single lateral with a set of sprinklers mounted on a drive

unit and suspended by trusses. The water is supplied from the source (a pump, a reservoir or a

ditch) to the lateral through the pivot. The water application rate is controlled by the speed of

rotation. The schematic and field operated center pivot system is shown in Figure-8.

Center pivots are electric or engine drive systems, which can operate on soils with upto 15

percent slope. These systems are generally not recommended for heavy soils with low infiltration

rates. Electricity driven pivots are the most popular devices due to flexibility of their operation.

Computerized control panels allow speed change at any place in the field, reverse the pivot, turn

on auxiliary pumps at a specified time and use many other features. Center pivots are usually less

than 500 meter in length (circle radius). The system is designed to provide a variable emitter flow

rate across the radius for achieving uniform irrigation application.

-15-

Figure-8: Center Pivot System

The installation of portable micro-sprinklers and semi-portable sprinkler systems seems

most feasible options and would, accordingly, be focused under the project. However, other types

of sprinkler systems described above may also be pilot tested for promotion of gram cultivation in

Thal area with life-saving irrigation of gram during the project implementation depending upon

site-specific requirements. It is indicated that the facility of solar system may also be made

available from the on-going ADP scheme, if required at any site based on site specific technical

feasibility.

farmers for water source development as per government policy.

C. Research and Development Activities

Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI), Bhakkar was established in 1991 for the uplift of

agriculture in arid zone Districts of Bhakkar, Mianwali, Khushab, Layyah and Muzaffargarh.

AZRI focuses on the development of high yielding, good quality and stress tolerant varieties of

chickpea/ gram, mungbean and wheat crops. The main objectives of the AZRI, Bhakkar includes

Genetic improvement of crop varieties, development of production technology, control of diseases

and insect/pests, introduction of new plant types and farmer’s advisory services. The research and

development activities under this project would be carried out by the AZRI, Bhakkar regarding

planting time adjustment, weed management and fertilizer trials. It is planned that sprinkler

irrigation system would be installed on five (5) acres at AZRI, Bhakhar from the project, whose

total cost will be borne by the project. The recommended quality seed would be used for research

trials at research sites, which would be provided by the project. The main activities to be carried

out by the AZRI, Bhakkar includes

Provision of recommendation for agronomic aspects of gram cultivation Planting time trials Weed management trials NPK trials

The sites for research trials would be selected by the AZRI, Bhakhar based on the following

criteria

Progressive/ innovative grower Willing to extend support to the project staff for carrying out research trials on his field Agreed to cultivate the gram crop as per recommendations by AZRI, Bhakhar

D. Cost Sharing Arrangement

The farmers in Thal i.e. Bhakhar, Layyah, Khushab etc. are poorer and require more

incentive/ agricultural support services to adopt modern capital intensive technologies like

sprinkler irrigation systems due to their poor economic conditions and insufficient

knowledge/experience in irrigated agriculture. It is, therefore, proposed to adopt a more farmer

friendly cost sharing mechanism in order to encourage them to start cultivation of gram with

sprinkler irrigation systems, which would result in greater demonstration effect for up-scaling the

-19-

new intervention in Thal region. The average unit cost of sprinkler irrigation system including its

installation is about Rs. 200,000 per acre and the farmer will be provided financial assistance

equivalent to 75% of total system cost while remaining 25% will be contributed by the beneficiary

farmer.

and other activities would be transferred to Cost Centres/ DDO Codes of Director AZRI, Bhakhar

through Finance Department. The PSC is authorized to make necessary adjustments in financial

and implementation modalities, if needed by keeping the overall scope and cost of the project

intact.

11) PROJECT BENEFIT AND ANALYSIS

a) Financial Benefits

The project will have both tangible and intangible benefits but there will be no direct

income from the scheme to the government. The implementation of the project activities would

-22-

help farmers of the poorer districts to increase gram/ pulses yields and production that would result

in net additional benefits to the gram/ pulses growers. The execution of proposed project will

motivated farmers to grow grams/ pulses for substantial increase in farm incomes.

The installation of sprinkler system for application of supplementary irrigation to ensure

moisture at critical stages of gram may enhance its yield from 8-10 maunds per acre (valuing Rs.

30,000-40,000) in comparison to current average yield of 2.5 maunds per acre (valuing Rs. 10,000)

through traditional barani agriculture. Moreover, about 8-10 maunds per acre production would

also be obtained from cultivation of Kharif crop (Moong, Mash etc.), which would also fetch Rs.

30,000-40,000. As such, the farmer would earn over Rs.60,000-80,000 per acre against current

earning of not more than Rs. 10,000-20,000 per acre.

The proposed project interventions aim at pilot testing of sprinkler irrigation technologies

for successful cultivation of pulses in the Thal desert and subsequently recommending a profitable

and cost effective plan for sustainable cultivation of gram in these areas through life saving

irrigations at critical growth stages with the sprinkler system. It would contribute in enhancing

gram productivity, improving livelihood of people, enabling farmers to adjust the agriculture

practices with varying environments, alleviating poverty and ultimately contribute in provincial

economy in the long run on upscaling the technology in the entire gram cultivated area. It would

also result in reduction of import of gram for domestic use and export of gram as well.

b) Economic Analysis/ Financial Analysis

The proposed project interventions would have a positive impact on gram/ pulses

production and are technically viable and economically feasible with following economic returns.

i) IRR = 29%

ii) BCR = 2.0

The project interventions will support efficient, productive and sustainable gram/ pulses

management system. The cost benefit analysis for project interventions is enclosed

(Annexure-G).

c) Social Benefits

The project interventions would also have positive impact on social lives of the rural people

in the project areas. It will promote the irrigated agriculture in the region and help strengthen

farmers capabilities to minimize climate change impacts on gram/ pulses by providing life saving

irrigation with the sprinkler irrigation system.

d) Environmental Impact/ Benefits

The project interventions would not have any adverse environmental effects normally

-23-

associated with new developments. The envisaged interventions are environment friendly and

climate resilient and would result in development of the irrigated areas. The proposed interventions

would result in optimal use of land and water resources and would result in minimizing climate

change impacts.

e) Employment Generation

Implementation of the project would provide enhanced employment opportunities,

particularly to the rural population in project areas. It is estimated that about 200 persons would

be engaged as Operators and Helpers in operation of sprinkler irrigation systems. The installation

of sprinkler irrigation systems on 1,680 acres would create job opportunities in the private sector.

An amount of about Rs. 84.000 million would be contributed by farmers for installation of

sprinkler irrigation systems as cost sharing for the equipment under the scheme. It is, therefore,

concluded that project implementation would stimulate employment generation not only for skilled

and unskilled labor in the project areas but also help in opening of new earning opportunities in

one of the least developed region of the Punjab.

f) Logical Framework Analysis

The logical framework analysis/ result based monitoring indicators have been prepared

including the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impact of the interventions. The same is

attached as Annexure-H.

f) Impact of Delays on Project Cost/Viability

In view of no major incremental water resources development in near future and rising

demands for food and fiber under the changing climate, the use of modern irrigation technologies

has become inevitable. The proposed project interventions can play a great role in promotion of

irrigated agriculture in areas like Thal. Any delay in implementation of proposed interventions

may result in significant losses besides increase in project costs due to price escalation of materials.

12) IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The starting and completion dates of the project are given below.

Starting Date Completion Date

July 2017 30 June 2020

The implementation plan for proposed project activities has also been prepared and

enclosed (Annexure-I).
