2 Provide Livelihood Security To The People In Rainfed / Dryland Areas By Improving Their Resource Base Improve Agriculture Production And Incomes Mission Objectives Contribute To Ecological Security And Thereby Food Security By Focusing On Poor Regions And Poor People Reduce Impact Of Drought

3 BOTTOM TO TOP PARTICIPATORY STRATEGY Combined Strategy For Poverty Reduction And Environment Regeneration By Greening Of Anti Poverty Programmes People Centered Watershed Management Focused Institutional Arrangements Of People At Lowest Level For Participatory Planning, Implementation And Maintenance Collaboration With NGOs And PRIs Mission Mode For Inter-Sectoral And Collective Action Harnessing All Available Techno-scientific Resources Preference To Local Low Cost Methods And Materials Based On Indigenous Technical Know-how Due Consideration For Aspirations Of Resource Poor By Ensuring Sharing STRATEGY Of CPR GOVT. AS A FACILITATOR ONLY

4 Mission Methodology Community Mobilization & Capacity Building Mapping Environmental Resources, Need Assesment, Identification Of Goal & Appropriate Watershed Management Interventions By The Community Based On Desired Outcomes Employing PRA, LFA & Nett. Planning Water Budgeting, Formulation Of Action Plan Based On Local Knowhow & Resources By The VWC, Technical & Scientific Support By PIA Approval Of Plan At District Level ZP through Technical Committee ZP Releases Funds DirectlyTo The Village Panchyat Implementation & Monitoring Of Plan And Maintenance Of Assets By VWC & Community Groups.

5 People centered Watershed Development Programme... Preparatory Activities: Community sensitisation & resource appraisal PIA Member makes initial familiarisation visits and shares programme objective and strategy with the community. Create appropriate climate for programme interventions and stimulate discussion followed by PRA, LFA & Nett Planning to assess natural resources and socio-economic conditions, understand problems and identify vulnerable groups. PRA helps in gauging the need and demand of community for preparing outcome based action plan Preparation of goal based & outcome oriented action plan

6 People centered Watershed Development Programme... Formation of Village-level Groups Typically, three types of groups are identified: User Groups of farmers whose private lands are to be treated and those benefiting from water harvesting structures on common lands Self Help Groups of landless and other groups for works on community lands and other income generation activities Women Thrift and Credit Groups of women who wish to undertake savings, credit and income generation activities Mobilisation efforts, initial orientation and training inputs are provided to members of UGs, SHGs and WTCGs

7 People centered Watershed Development Programme... Maintenance and Benefit-sharing Arrangements VWC owns the responsibility for maintenance of assets created through villager's contributions to the Development Fund. Considerable emphasis is laid on equitable benefit-sharing arrangements. These benefits can be from community work on public lands and private lands. The benefit sharing arrangements for the former are recommended by the VWC, The PIA Member, Panchayat and other elected representatives can offer suggestions in case proposed benefitsharing arrangements are perceived to be unjust. For benefits accruing from community work on private lands, the arrangements are agreed between the land owner, and the VWC

8 People centered Watershed Development Programme... Conflict Resolution Mechanism: Systematic approach to conflict resolution is advocated. The core reasons of the conflict and the parties involved are identified. The interests groups involved is clearly analysed to differentiate between personal/ narrow interests and village level interests. The village level interests are debated to identify options for resolution and agree on a final decision.

9 People centered Watershed Development Programme... Implementation: GoI releases funds directly to zila panchayat Implementation by extended Jal Abhishek Samiti (VWC) in consultation with village Panchayat PIA provides technical support All relevant records and registers are maintained at Panchayat level

10 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Innovations in the planning process Water Budgeting Need based approach is essential for effective watershed management. Assessment about total water requirement and total water availability so that the additional water requirement can be calculated. Action Plan based on this calculation more suited to local needs and requirements Water Resource Register A major problem in planning is the absence of database about available water resources at the village level To eliminate this problem a Water Resource Register is maintained in all the villages The register has relevant details about all surface water and ground water sources in the village, which is required for effective planning and implementation.

11 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Innovations in the planning process Goal Oriented Project Planning (LFA) Premised on the philosophy of logical frame work analysis Setting long term vision/goal for watershed projects Defining the socio-economic & physical objectives to be attained Net Plan of the village also a part of it Identifying the socio-economic & physical outputs/impact of the programme & the activities / means of achieving them Implementation within the set goal, objectives & target frame work & assessment of the impact against set objectives & goals

12 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Defining the socioeconomic and physical objectives to be attained in terms of Percentage of project area to be treated Percentage of beneficiaries to be benefited Area to be taken up for biomass production viz fodder development, agro-forestry, horticulture, etc. No of SHGs to be constituted and income generating activities to be taken up for them Level of basic services to be made available in health and education sector

13 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Identifying the socioeconomic & physical outputs of the prod. and the activities of achieving them Implementation within the set goal, objectives & target frame work & assessment of the impact against set objectives & goals Development of annual & project based activity calendar for each watershed project Identification and convergence with other department & schemes to achieve watershed plus objectives

14 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Perspective plan for watershed development projects To select and treat the area on priority basis with the limited financial resources In MP the task of prioritisation of watersheds is given to AISLUS Preparation of Drainage map Delineation of Micro-watersheds ( ha) Codification of micro-watersheds Updating Sediment Yield data for each Micro-watershed using land use data generated by Remote Sensing Techniques

15 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Assigning the value of updating SYI to each Microwatershed Prioritisation of microwatersheds based on updated sediment yield index. Developing Digital database comprising of four layers viz. Microwatersheds, SYI, Administrative boundary and drainage lines using GIS Finalisation of perspective plan

16 Strengths & Innovations Of the programme Convergence: Multidisciplinary approach Watershed Plus approach Promotion of Bio Agriculture by propagating the concept of vermi-compost, Nadep etc in collaboration with Agriculture Dept. Promotion of Techniques and practices for optimizing agricultural productivity with the help of MP Agro Industries Corp., Agriculture Dept. Active collaboration, convergence and technical assistance for fishery, livestock, poultry etc. activities.
