"** LS=5=S=L2=5 •“ One of the basic objectives of planned development is to bring about balanced growth of different areas in the State, Accordir/^ly special welfare ^^easures had been undertaken for the economic a.nd social upliftmexit of the tribal areas which were considered as most backward areas. For building up a new life and to create ^ •’"n of society in rural areas a nationwide programme of Community Development Project was initiated in 1952, Subsequently, the special programme for the tribal development was initiated in 195? in the form of Special Multipurpose Tribal Development Blocks. A modified version of this programme was taken up on a large scale during the Second Five Year Plan when the Tribal Development Blocks were started. However to meet with the long term development challengefiof the tribal areas it was felt. • tnat some more concentrated efforts were needed. Ultimately for special attention of the tribal areas a new programme known as Tribal Area Sub-Plan was launched ii:;^ the year 197^-75 • The main objective of the Tribal Area Sub-PIan is to narrow down the gap between the development of tribal areas and non--1a,“ribal areas of the State, To lmov7 the position prior to implementation of the T.A.S.P, programme a benciimark study was undertaken by the Directorate of Evaluation in 1 973-7'4- to m.ark the levels of development reached in various spheres of socio' 3conomic activities. After implement­ ation of T .A.S .P.-.prograiTime a follow up study has been undertaken to assess the i-n-nac^.t ci' the programme. Therefore an attempt has been madfe to compare the;-po.sitioi^-at two points of time i .e , prior to implementation of T .A .S .P , programme and at the end of Fifth Five Year Plan. This Directorate is very much thankful to the concerned Officers under District Panchayat, Bharuch and other State level Government Officers who supplied valuable information for enabl­ ing this office to compile this report.

Monitoring of groundwater level and chemical quality furnish valuable information on the ground water regime characteristics of the different hydrogeological units moreover, analysis of these valuable data collected from existing observation wells during May, August, November and January in each ground water year (June to May) indicate the pattern of ground water movement, changes in recharge-discharge relationship, behavior of water level and qualitative & quantitative changes of ground water regime in time and space. It also helps in identifying and delineating areas prone to decline of water table and piezometric surface due to large scale withdrawal of ground water for industrial, agricultural and urban water supply requirement. Further water logging prone areas can also be identified with historical water level data analysis.

During this period, the TISS developed baseline data on social, demographic, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of individuals, families and communities in 33 villages in Akkalkuwa and Akrani tehsils of Dhule (now Nandurbar) district, and tracked changes in the habitat and life conditions of people shifted from Manibeli, Dhankhedi, and Chimalkhedi villages to Parveta (one of the earliest resettlement sites in Gujarat). While TISS moved out of its monitoring and evaluation role in 1994, it continued to track the progress made on various aspects of the SSP. Dam height has been steadily increasing and reached 121.92 m in October 2006; the final and pending phase of installing radial gates will take the dam height to 138.68 m.

The canal part of the link starts from Paikhed barrage which is located 4.60 km downstream of the Paikhed dam. The FSL of the canal at Paikhed barrage is 142.800 m. The link canal on its way to Ukai reservoir on Tapi river is fed by the storages envisaged at Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs through feeder pipelines. The link canal after irrigating the command en-route, outfalls into the Ukai reservoir at FSL105.275 m and takes off from the Ukai reservoir with FSL 81.790 m and finally outfalls into the Miyagam branch canal at RD16.70 km of the Narmada main canal system.
