The outlay provided is Rs 11,69,11,VOO/- with Rs 8,27,22,000/- as the Government share and Rs 3,41,89,000/-- as institutional credit. 14 watersheds covering 262 villages with an area of 2,64,040 hectares, in all the 11 taluks of the district have been identified for purpose of integrated development. For the purpose of executing the programme, the Government in their Order No. RDC 150 RWP 76 dated 3.6.1976 has set up the Drought Prone Area Development Authority, under the Chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner, Bijapur. This authority.has the Implementing Officers and some non-officials as members with the Project Director as Member--Secretary. Statements showing the physical targets and perforiance, financial targets and performance, employment generated and number of beneficiaries etc., are included as Annex to this and in the following paragraphs, it is proposed to briefly highlight the achievements and problems faced in the execution of the programme in different sectors: 2 1. MINOR IRRIGATION: In the original Appraisal Report, it was intended to execute 12 Minor Irrigation tank works with an outlay of Rs 183.00 lakhs. However, it was decided to take up the construction of only 7 tank works and to construct two barrages with provision for Lift Irrigation. The progress is as follows: Two tanks at Mukartihal and Bijjargi have been completed. The Barrage it Anagwadi is also constructed, The work on the tanks at Jagjivani, Katral, Gundwan Site No. I and Advihulagbal is under progress and the Karnateka Land Army Corporation which is. the executing Agency feels confident that it will be able to finish these works by the end of March 1980. The construction work of the Barrage at Kadni is under progress and the tank work at Bommanahalli has yet to start. The Command Area Development Plans for Mukartihal, Jagjivani, Gundwan site No. I and Katral have been completed, but the actual work has not yet started. The other Command Area Development plans are under preparation and will be ready by the end of November 1978. The commercial institutions which have been assigned the ' task of financing the Command Area Development work have been supplied with the copies of the Command Area Development plans and we are hopeful that within this year, the Command Area Development work will start. A .decision has been taken that the Command Area Development work would be executed by the Karnataka Land Army Corporation and the loan will not be given directly to the loanees but would be routed through the Karnataka Land Army Corporation. 2. SOIL SURVEY: According to the Appraisal Report, the Soil Survey Unit ras given the task of surveying 17,60,000 hectares of land in Bijapur district. This figure comprises the whole area in Bijapur district. Besides the Soil Survey Unit set up under D.P.A.P. there were other agencies doing the same work. By the end of March 1978, having surveyed an area of 3,62,000 hectares, the Soil Survey Unit was wound up as the remaining area is being surveyed by other agencies. The expenditure incurred on the Soil Survey unit during its existence was Rs 7,19 lakhs. 3.1 SOI L CONSERVATION: The work of Soil Conservation in Bijapur district is being executed by the staff under two Deputy Directors with headquarters at Bijapur and 3agalkot respectively. The total area to be bunded in the entire district was 80,000 hectares. By the end of July 1978, 35,140.62 ha. of land had been bunded with an expenditure of Rs 134.71 lakhs. Most of the 'bunds constructed are opntour bunds. On the advice of the I.D.A. graded bunding was also taken up on an experimental basis. It is felt that the entire target of 80,000 hectares cannot be completed by the end of the project period and some of the work may be left incomplete. 3.2 FARM PONDS: In the Appralsal Report a target of 350 farm ponds was given for Bijapur District. Of this actually, only 5 Farm Ponds have been completed. The Deputy Director of Soil Conservation, reports that farm ponds are advocated only in deep black soil regions; most of the deep blacc soil region is along the river bed and these areas are either irrigated by Lift Irrigation or are likely to be covered under the Command Area of the Major Irrigation projects and hence the utility of farm ponds in such areas would be minimal. Moreover, as a general policy of the Department, bunding in deep black soils specially near andi along the river bed has not been done. Therefore, it would be difficult to collect the water in farm ponds constructed in such areas, The second difficulty in construction of farm ponds has been that the marginal farmers and small farmers who have small land holdings have been reluctant to divert port of their land for the construction of farm pond. It is felt that construction of farm ponds in the fields of large and well to do farmers with Government subsidy would not be in keeping with the aims and policies of the Programme and of the Government. Hence, the target has been revised from 350 to 170 and attempts will be made to take up the maximum number of farm ponds possible. 4. DcYLAND FARMING: Under the Dryland Farming sector three watersheds namely, Managuli, 3adami and Hungund were selected. -5- Of the target of 150 large size demonstrations, 1,200 small size demonstrations and 100 training visits, 86 large size demonstrations, 716 small size demonstrations and 36 training visits have actually been organised and conducted.
