Page | 7 Physical Performance of the project is over in the different stages that are:

 Entry Point Activities (EPA):

For rapport building, the entry point activities like renovation of side wall of footpath, rejuvenation of naulas, drinking water sources/wells, creation of check dams or retaining walls, road, etc. have been largely undertaken in the watershed sites. In some cases, it was found that damaged walls of schools were renovated as per community needs. The Entry Point Activities have been carried out by considering community requirement. The community members also suggested as priority need of water harvesting measures and improvement of drinking water sources.

 Watershed Development Committee’s (WDCs):

The committees were constituted as per the norm but they are not functional at present in some sites. The representation from all sections of community was also in the committee. The women representation in the WDC is found between 10 to 40 percent and SC/ST representation (wherever existing) was between 10 to 20 percent. The educational qualification of the Secretaries and Presidents of the WDC was found between intermediate to post graduate level. Most of WDC members were not mobilized sufficiently toward the project as expected in the project, although the role of women in the project activities found satisfactory. The meetings of WDCs were conducted up to average level but not held on regular basis. As reported in many sites there was a need of constant support from the project staff.

 Watershed Development Plan (WDP):

WDP were prepared and followed in all sites, it addressed the need of watershed, still there is a slight deviation found in implementation of project due to changing

Page | 8 priorities and small areas of watershed. However, selection of activities found to be appropriate and as per the guidelines of programme. In all the sites of project, community is exposed to the project and tool participation in project implementation and gets involved in planning and management. However, overall performance is satisfactory and project was successful in spreading a message of natural resource management and sustainable development. Particularly project has built good rapport among women community by addressing their issues of fuel, fodder, water and agriculture etc.

 Constitution of SHGs and UGs:

The Self Help Groups were formed in most of the sites during the project tenure. Due to lack of mobilization, these Self Help Groups are not efficiently working at present. Only information about SHGs were seen in records but record was not maintain properly, mostly it is seen that the meeting register was not maintained properly. The user groups were shaped and insufficiently involve in assigning activities. The size of SHGs consisting 7 to 10 members but women are smaller in number, average 3 to 5 SHGs have been formed in each site. The group members are engaged in credit and saving facilities. Still, there is need to take initiatives toward strengthen the women groups and dovetail with other line department for financial inclusion and livelihood support activities. Some group's members are using their revolving funds in dairy work on individual basis, but group based IGA need to be promoted. UGs have been formed but these user groups are needed to encourage for their self-sustaining through the maintenance of community resources after attentiveness of post project. Hence, more emphasis should be needed to give for their sustainability.

 Revolving Fund:

The revolving fund have been generated by SHG members for the purpose of sustaining income generation activities. It is utilized towards the capacity building of SHGs that enable them for establishing group based entrepreneurship like

Page | 9 dairy, poultry, etc. However, there is a need to make convergence with other line department for more efficient outcomes.

 Community Contribution (Corpus) and Sharing of Benefits:

Corpus fund was generated, which is contribution of the community amounted 5 to 10 percent. It is utilized for community and individual works respectively for creation and maintenance of physical structures/assets e.g. repairing/ rejuvenation of irrigation tank, poly-houses, crop vegetable kit demonstrations etc. Records are being maintained in all sites. The purpose of corpus fund was to utilize in post project period, even WDCs intended using this fund in watershed development activates in future. The least amount of fund is deposited in different project account as a corpus fund in 10 project villages, which can be said satisfactory that community under the objectives of project and has contributed in the form of labour or contribution.

 Financial Management and Maintain of Records:

The financial management system adopted by the WDCs was satisfactory. Joint bank accounts have been opened in Kshetriya Gramin Bank of nearby branches. The accounts are being maintained by WDCs. The proper trainings must be ensured by EDC on stock and financial management and record keeping that training and capacity building would make them enable to handle finance.

 Skill Upgradation:

The efforts have been made for skilling up of the community members and stakeholder by the project management team. The trainings on watershed management, PRA, fisheries, water conservation, bee keeping, poultry vermi composting and fruit and vegetable processing and preservation were imparted and facilitated through Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) and G.B. Pant University, Watershed Department and some local NGOs like CAARD etc. The community

Page | 10 participants be of the same mind have expressed their opinion about the benefits of skill development training. During course of interaction, the participant shared their learning about the benefits of cluster approach, vermi composting, vegetable production & processing, poultry, fisheries, bee-keeping, fodder development, etc. Training is an essential component for capacity building of community and reinforcing watershed development activities.

 Employment Generation:

The watershed development activities like construction of check wall, retaining wall, check dams, gabion-wire structures, trenches etc. supported the labour components like labour work and wages to the socio- economically weaker section of local community. In the meanwhile, land reclamation work also improved the crops yield and cash vegetative crops like off season vegetables and horticulture bring into production. The water harvesting tanks curtail the water scarcity, which is prime need of community for drinking purpose.

 Soil and Moisture Conservation:

Under this component, mostly physical structures e.g. check wall, retaining wall, check dams, gabion-wire structures, trenches etc. have been structured in suitable sites. Maximum work have been undertaken toward development of agriculture land by repairing terraces and creating check walls in sliding prone sites.

The check dam, gabion wire structures have been created across the gadhera, the site selection and designing is better. The technical norms have been followed in the construction work, thus these structures have effective role in minimizing soil erosion. The watershed activities reclaim the cultivated land in some of the project sites. As feedback from beneficiaries revealed that by constructing and reclaiming of water regenerating resources help out to improve cultivable land.

Page | 11  Water Harvesting Measures:

The project intervention regard to humanizing water resources (water harvesting structures) seems to be sufficient in numbers. The work has been done toward minor irrigation, rain water harvesting tanks were sufficient in order in all the sites. The water harvesting work benefitted to the community up to the large extent for availability of drinking water and irrigation. It also augmented the water potential for cropping in the insignificant sites. The dug out pounds and percolation tanks also conserved moisture around the vegetative land.

 Afforestation:

Ritha (Sapindustrifoliatus), Bheemal (Grewiaoptiva), Subabool, Bakain (Meliaazedirach) and other fodder species were planted in civil soyam and private land. The initiatives were taken toward afforestation, which is less than 100 hectare. However, average survival of plants were up to 40 percent, which is perceptible. Some afforestation work has been done in vegetation land, which is being done as per community need. The plantation have been carried out as per the agro-ecological norms. The agro forestry was up to the mark of community need.

 Fodder and Silvi-Pasture Development:

The fodder development is one of the thrust area and some noticeable results have been noticed in all project sites. The fodder grasses like Napier (Pennisetum purpureum; a high yielding grass) have been promoted and planted in fallow and barren land by the community members. That intervention and efforts increasing rearing practice of milch cattle. Such support encouraged group dairy activity in project area.

Page | 12  Agriculture Development:

Agri-inputs such as improved seed variety of cereals crop like wheat, paddy, Soybean, pulses were provided in all sites and significant growth in productivity have been reported by the farmers. The farmers reacted that the agriculture implements were provided by line department after project period. Apart from improved variety of seed of paddy crops and vegetables and other inputs like vermi compost pits, water harvesting structures were also demonstrated in project sites. Overall there is positive impact of intervention on community, the crop diversification in farm sector have improved production in rain-fed area.

 Horticulture Development:

Fruit trees (Mango, palm grenade, pear, orange and other citrus) were distributed by the department and planted by the farmers in waste land. The community members reported that the fruit plants survival rate is more than other vegetative plants. Although the local farmers were less aware about the marketability of fruits but knowledge sharing initiatives were taken by the RPs in project duration. Due to availability of smaller fund, the horticulture development activities were undertaken in convergence mode with other departments. Farmers reported, that horticultural plants like citrus verity, mango, guava have planted on their private land and most of the plants are in fruiting stage and causative in the income of farmers. Particularly in five villages (Chitgalgoan, Soungoan, Selipakh, Mugroli and Angariyagada) where horticulture production has been noticed on commercial level. Also many farmers were started vegetable production and selling their local produce in nearby market.

 Livelihood Enhancement and Income Generation:

Moreover, it is seen that the farmers are engaged in vegetable cultivation, which support cash income. In some cases, it is seen that many farmers were grown vegetable in diversified condition and few farmers are engaging in dairy work,

Page | 13 such innovative enterprises are supporting the cash income of marginal farmers. The 12 members of different SHGs were facilitated with loan to purchase the milch cattle and they started commercial dairy venture.

 Adoption of Proven Technologies:

The improved technological intervention was introduced by distributing advance agricultural tools and equipment and hybrid seeds through the line department. Within the project, hydride vegetable seeds and fruit plants were provided to the farmers. The advance scientific model were demonstrated by the line department that supported farmers in using improved seed, organic farming, protected cultivation, micro irrigation etc. such technical intervention supported best practices of farming to the farmers and improving their crop yields.

 Post Project Preparedness:

The post project preparedness were the provision of strengthening WDC, CBOs and promote SHGs. However the user group are not too much functional. The project management committee has ensured the collaboration with other development schemes like MNREGA to take care of post project preparedness.

The projects is sanctioned by the Department of Land Resources, Government of India for the treatment of wastelands in Specific Problem Areas such as high altitude regions, land slide areas, slopes. The integrated watershed development programme is implemented on intensive treatment approach with the aim of developing wastelands/degraded lands, drought-prone and desert areas considering the capability of land, site-conditions and local needs. The intention is economic development for improving the socio- economic condition of the disadvantaged inhabitants. The watershed activities also support to mitigate the adverse effects of extreme climatic conditions such as drought and desertification on crops and overall improvement of human and livestock population. The ecological balance can be restored by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources i.e. land, water, vegetative cover by integral community action. The easy and affordable technological solutions are used in operation and maintenance of assets created under watershed development programme. The institutionalization of local technical knowledge and available materials is in priority to enhance employment and poverty alleviation.

The second batch of IWDP have been undertaken in the six micro watershed of 6 Development Blocks of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand. The total projected area is distinct area, that placed in ten micro watershed and cover ten villages occupied 4551.42 hectare land, out of about 4043 hectares land have been treated under the project, which is degraded, poor connectivity and infrastructure. As estimated 2,58,000 population were likely to be benefited from the project outcomes. The project started from 2001-02 onwards. In preparatory phase, the entry point activities were carried out and in implementation phase many water and resources conservation work were undertaken in 10 GPs. The implementation work was gainful for watershed development and humanizing the socio-economic condition of the under privileged people inhabiting the project areas. The programme was

Page | 15 implemented, through the Zila Panchayat (ZPs)/District Rural Development Agencies (DRDA). The watersheds area was selected after survey, it might be slightly less or more area. The targeted watershed areas confined with the acute shortage of drinking water and largely population of scheduled castes/scheduled tribes dependent on it. The integrated watershed development programme aims improving productivity of land by community participation that enhance wage employment to the marginalized section. The community base institution are constituted for operation and maintenance of the assets created under the project. The Gram Panchayat an administrative authority is fully involved in the implementation of the programme. Watershed Development Team (WDT) is a multi-disciplinary team have at least four members one each from the disciplines of Forestry / Plant science, animal sciences, civil/agricultural engineering and social sciences. The watershed action plan is designed and approved by of Gram Sabha on annual basis. The Gram Panchayat reviewed and discuss the progress of watershed development activities in meetings, it support and encourage the villagers in the form of SHGs/UGs. These Groups members are agricultural labourers, land less persons, women, shepherds, scheduled castes/scheduled tribes persons. These group involve in operation and maintenance of the assets created during project period in villages. User Group (UG) are also constituted in the watershed area, the persons having land holding within the watershed areas are the members and they are likely to derive direct benefits from a particular watershed work. Watershed Association (WA) is confined within the boundaries of a Village Panchayat, the Gram Sabha of the Panchayat concerned will be designated as the Watershed Association.

2. Demography :

Pithoragarh district is located the north-eastern part of Kumaon Division. It lies between the latitude 29º 27’ and 30º 49’ North and longitude 79º 50’and 81º 3’ east. The total geographical area of the district is 7090 sq.km. Which is

Page | 16 approx. 13.00 per cent of the total hill area of the state. The height of the district varies between 500 to 6400 meters from the sea level. The major portion of the district lies under perpetual snow and a considerable area is rocky and barren. The bellow mentioned watersheds are situated in Munsyari, Didihat, Kanalichhina and Berinag blocks in District Pithoragarh (UK). As per 2011 India census, the population of these blocks are appx 7534 person. The population density of the is 189 persons per sq. km, the sex ratio of 963 females per 1000 males is far better than the national average of 940 females. 88.33% of men and 70.7% of women are literate as compared with 82.14% of men and 65.46% of women at the national level.

The climate of the project area is mild during summer and cold during winters, when the temperature falls to nearly 40 C, average rainfall is 102 mm per year, the rainy season is based on arrival of monsoon. Natural vegetation namely the trees which are found in these villages are Baanj, Phalyant, Uteesh, Reetha, Pangar, Kaphal, Burans, Shisam, Cheer, Mehal, Chura etc. are common. The ecology and social imbalances with the main soils in the districts are loamy sandy lime stone. The land is used in present time are for the food crops hold a paramount subsidiary position in the cropping pattern. Agriculture crops are grown for self-consumption and also for cash income generation. Part of the cash income may also be used to purchase more of the food of choice. Exchange of produce between neighbours is also a tradition and fairly common. Maximum quantity and diversity of food is grown in the kharif season. In this season surpluses are also generated for sale. In the rabi season, few crops are grown and the produce is generally used for self-consumption. Among cereals, rice, wheat and bajra are wholly for self- consumption. Mandua, chaulai, barley, jhangora, koni and cheena are grown for self-consumption and sale. All pulses grown are used for self-consumption but a considerable number are also sold. The pulses sold are bhatt, gahat, soyabean, lentil, rains, urd, rajma and lobia. Mung, gram, pea and arhar are used for self-consumption and not sold. Vegetables, spices and fruits including wild fruits are sold in the market for income. Villages closer to a

Page | 17 market sell more produce than those further away. The land use farming system and watershed cropping patter of different micro watershed areas are irrigation system and facilities are available, yield in agriculture is better, for ploughing and draft cattle bullocks are used only two crops of Rabi and Kharif are taken, the most important crops are wheat the second major crops in the district are oil seeds/paddy grown as crop. Fruit cultivation Aaru, Naspati, Mango, Malta Plum etc. are common. The life stock rearing depend upon forest, in the project area, there is shortage of fodder for cattle therefore pasture development is on priority basis apart from such livelihood activities forestry, rural handicraft and tourism supported the economy of rural habitants.

A majority of project households belong to the general caste category (64%) followed by scheduled caste (25%), scheduled tribe (7%) and the other backward castes (4%). The study group have a similar occupational structure to the control group, with most of the households involved in agriculture. Incomes and Assets about 50% of the households of the entire project area fall within the vulnerable group category.

4. Objectives of Final Evaluation of IWDP-II

The monitoring was undertaken with an objective to asses following aspects:

 The impact of IWDP in treatment of non-forest wasteland/ degraded lands by checking the land degradation and conserving soil moisture and improving productivity with its impact on improving and restoring ecological balance in watershed through sustained community action.

 Establishment of additional water resources for reduction of soil erosion that support economic development (employment generation increasing in agriculture/livestock production, encouragement of savings and investment by increasing income of village community etc.) through optimum utilization of natural recourses of land, water and vegetation.

 Participation of people in the form of community/organization/individual in planning, implementation, monitoring and sustainable management of the project activities.

 Impact of the project activities on the user group (farmer beneficiaries) and the watershed treatment area.

 Evaluate the administrative and technical linkages obtained for integrating and dovetailing activities identify constraints in the implementation and suggest measures to overcome the same.

Page | 19  Recommendation of the measures needed for improvement of water land strategies.

5. Duration

The final Evaluation of IWDP- batch 2nd was undertaken in two rounds, 1st phase commenced from 4 to 6 December- 2016 and 2nd phase held from 17 to 26 February, 2017 in all 10 Micro-watershed sites.

6. Methodology

As per the guidance of DRDA a nodal agency, the final evaluation of IWDP batch 2nd was carried out 6 Gram Panchayats (GPs) of Pithoragarh District. Every GP selected for the final evaluation as per the list provided by UIRD, each village was an average with due representation to socio- economic status. Attempts were made to visit the households for practicable of the assignment. The control GPs had similar socio-economic features. The key survey instruments were a set of questionnaires at the GP levels. The questionnaires were developed for field testing. In addition, Group Discussions (GDs), transect walk were conducted in all the villages to elicit qualitative information on the project impacts. The detailed discussion on methodology, team responsibilities and resource mobilization has been planned. The following methodology adopted for undertaking the final Evaluation monitoring in different stages:

Holding Meetings in DRDA/PIA:

An initial interaction have been made with DRDA officials and other key personnel of project implementing agencies for enquiring about the assignment. The detailed discussion were made with PIA official on methodology, team responsibilities and resource mobilization plan. The role of PIAs has been discussed with DRDA and other key stakeholders. Further, the

Page | 20 issues like data and information collection process have been discussed subsequently, the strategic plan were made about prior information regarding field visits, consultation meetings and authorization from DRDA to seek data from other concerned line departments etc. Further, for effective consultation has been planned to have separate meeting with each of the agencies as per their convenience Prior to the visit, meeting was organized at District Level in the presence of all project stakeholders including Project Director, Assistant Director Agriculture and Soil conservation, concern Officer, WDCs, President and Secretary. The meeting provided an arena for holding discussion on the following aspects:

 Pre-information and discussing the visit plan and questionnaire formulated for monitoring with all project stakeholders.

 Detailing and distributing the format to collect all required data from DRDA and respective Soil and Water Conservation Unit.

Pre information to all connected and involved with the project:

Project site concerned to be informed of scheduled date of visit by PD/PIS were sent communication 7 days in advance through DRDA/PIA, to inform the following:

 Secretary  WDT members  WA/WC members to be pre informed by PD/PIA  Gram Sabha/ Gram panchayats  SHG/UG group  Beneficiaries of the project

Page | 21 Field Visit:

All watershed sites were covered during the course. A team of 6 Investigators headed by a Team Leader was involved for undertaking the study and team was further cover the targeted sites in each block. To evaluate participatory processes, Gram Panchayats from each micro-watershed site were covered. Primary data was collected using well-structured monitoring questionnaires, participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques and meetings.

The final Evaluation Evaluating generated data broadly on aspects such as participatory processes, environmental and economic issues based on certain defined parameters. On spot examination of the following project records was done by the team to know the status of work done as justification work implemented on field:

 Written agreement of village/watershed community.  Document confirming the details of Funds for watershed project.  Document of Registration of W.D.C.  Written agreement with Gram Panchayats for Assets Sustenance.  Watershed Development Corpus Fund record, Watershed Committee records, Measurement book etc. and any other record prescribed by the District/ DWC.

9. The Findings:

The present study deals with the impact of program on various sectors/ components/intervention on their effectiveness, efficiency, quality and quantity of achievement made, and to know gaps, constraints and problems

Page | 26 encountered. In the subsequent pages the site wise findings falling within both blocks have been illustrated along with identified gaps and recommendations: Performance of the programme based on the findings of the field survey and subsequent recommendations for more effective and efficient implementation is illustrated in the report. The site wise findings are as illustrated herein;

Agricultural and Farm Activities:

The productivity and irrigated area slightly increases by implementing watershed development activities. The area (15%) and value (20%) increase are significantly higher than the target values. The vegetable cultivation is expanding across the sampled GPs. Availability of water increases due to soil and water conservation activities. It was observed that farmers have earmarked a portion of their lands for vegetable cultivation. Community fruit plantations and homestead plantations have been key interventions in the fallow lands in several GPs. Poly houses and poly tunnels have been a major contributing factor to the growth of off-season vegetables. Post-harvest technology has been introduced in the project area, the interventions is relatively low impact on cereal crops. Wherever processing centres have been established, post harvesting operations have been adopted successfully in grading and packing of vegetables, spices, pulses, grinding and packaging of spices and preservation of fruit juices and making of pickles. Commercial packing with different trade names proved attractiveness for sale finished products in local and outside market. Agribusiness ventures are successful initiative for livelihood support to the community.

Livestock and Fodder:

Improved breed of livestock are notable increases. Members of Vulnerable Groups are the major beneficiaries. 19% household adopted the improved breed of cows and buffaloes in project GPs. The breed improvement

Page | 27 programme have met with a high degree of success, shelters for livestock were seen and widely adopted in the project GPs. New fodder grasses and crops on farm boundaries were introduced in uncultivated land. It increased the availability of agriculture waste residues and protection of common land from grazing. Overall 9.6 % increase in fodder availability.

The average fodder production ranged between 0.5 -5.67 q/ha/year across different land uses. The highest percentage change (24.18%) in availability of fodder was recorded for irrigated agriculture land suggesting that farmers in the project area have been motivated to grow fodder crops / trees on the bunds / risers of their agriculture resulting in increase in fodder availability. The percentage change in household dependency for fodder and grasses from private agricultural/barren land/other land is the highest (13%), while dependency on fodder from forests and feed purchased from market have declined by 8% and 5% respectively. The average time taken for fetching fodder has reduced. On an average, there has been an 11% reduction in time spent on collecting fodder by a household.

Forestry and Biomass:

It was observed that the biomass of the treated areas has increased by 9.37% across treated micro watersheds. This biomass increase excludes the areas under Reserve Forest, agriculture and habitation. The areas, which have been covered, are van panchayat forests, civil and soyam forests and barren/ fallow lands. These changes were on account of increase in vegetation cover due to new plantations under the project .Natural regeneration of grasses, shrubs and tree seedlings protected over grazing burden. The average survival percentage within the project site is around 45%. The treated plantation sites have higher values of diversity and species richness as compared to the control sites. The shrubs have richness as compared to the tree and herb species.

Page | 28 Soil and Water Conservation:

The impact of soil and water conservation measures is increased by 24.7%. It resulted increasing in crop yield and domestic water. The time spent in collecting water has significantly reduced. In terms of efficacy of impacts, it is seen that turbidity levels during monsoon months have reduced significantly through the treatment in catchment area, it also increases in incomes of rural inhabitants. The total increase in income of all categories is 57%, but increase in farm income is (61.1%) which is higher than non-farm incomes (56.6%). The highest increases in non-farm incomes have occurred amongst OBCs and SC/STs. The economic analysis of the project includes benefits from agriculture, livestock, horticulture, forestry, soil conservation, domestic water and employment. The traditional/caste based IGAs such as carpentry and blacksmith returning the highest values, it provide quicker returns.

10. Gaps

 In the case of Self Help Groups, few SHGs were formed but gender disparities were in their involvement

 There is no real motivational process being adopted in formation and continuation of SHGs & UGs.

 The community participation was meagre in Water harvesting and moisture conservation activates, which is not being impacted properly to the communities.

 Lack of continuation of proficient skills the income generation activities were not sustain up to mark.

 Meeting by committees and groups were not on regular basis. There is also no transparency in functioning of committees & groups.

Page | 29  Protected technology like poly house adoption by community is low due to high cost metal frame low cost poly housing technique was introduced

 Ignorance in purchasing of seeds from local vendor so, the purchased agriculture seeds were not resulted as per the expectation of farmers.

 The nursery development initiatives were done on trial bases, but not expanded in all the watershed area by the support of IWDP.

 Entry point activities were done in those area where local community was not involved in the process, only few individuals working as labour are aware about the project.

 Entry point assets creation in some cases the quality of work is not up to standard

12. Final Recommendation

 There is need of frequent orientation training of the line department before implementation of such type of programme in future so the community participation process could be reinforced

 For transparency and strengthening community participation, social audit method should be adopted.

 For economic empowerment of the community, the locally available raw material based intervention like bee keeping, herbs -medicinal plant growing, fisheries, cottage industry of fruits, juice, pickles and masala packing to be introduced.

 Seeds for agro activities should be purchased from local Agriculture research centres, so there would be quite resemblance in topography soil, water and climate conditions.

 Low cost protected technology should introduced for reducing external vagaries.

 Forest paramount should developed for fodder & fuel

 Nursery has to be developed through SHGs, privileges be given to women members.

Page | 31 The program has been successful in achieving its objectives and addressed the socio-economic and ecological issues of the region. In the project period, the interventions resolved the local need and presented a model for rest of the area to adopt and replied the model of natural resources management.

Based upon the findings of the evaluation study, it is recommended that this project need to be closed and similar kind of program need to initiate in other watershed sites.

13. STUDY FRAMEWORK AND SITE WISE ANALYSIS

The main purpose of the programme is to promote the economic development of the villages through the treatment of non-forest wasteland/ degraded land by checking land degradation and conserving soil moisture for improving productivity of these lands by Optimum utilization of the watershed natural resources like land, water and vegetation etc., that will mitigate the adverse effects of drought & prevent further global degradation and enhanced employment & development of human & other economic resources of the villages in order to promote saving and other income generation activities. The restoration of ecological balance in the village through sustained Community action for the operation and maintenance of assets created & further development of the potential of the natural resources in the watershed with simple, easy and affordable technological solutions & institutional arrangements that make use of and build upon, local technical knowledge and available material, improving the Socio-Economic conditions of the resources poor and disadvantaged sections of watershed community such as the assets less women through equitable distribution of the benefits of land and water resource development and the consequent biomass production and access to income generation opportunities and focus on their human resources development.

In 2nd phase, the Integrated watershed development programme was implemented in ten micro-watershed sites of Berinag, Didihat, Munsyari, Kanalichhina blocks of District Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand state, and sites are Characterized by large human

Page | 32 and cattle populations, that are continuously putting heavy pressure on natural base for food, fodder and fuel and its rigorously exposed to continuous exploitation and affected by fast and continuous depletion of vegetative cover, less and less rainfall, increased soil erosion and fast receding ground water level, without any effort to recharge the underground acquires.

The report is based on the findings of the final valuation appraisal of IWDP Batch-2nd and is comprehensive collection of all findings of monitoring experience and observations undertaken to assess the efficacy of the programme in terms of attaining its objectives.

Besides these aspects, focus is given on the evaluation of the project by analysing the sector-wise physical & financial achievement of the programme component with respect to quality, utility of benefit, impacts, constraints and sustainability.

In respect to evaluate the performance of the project, the Monitoring team visited all sites and interacted with the each Watershed Development Committee (WDC). The expert team described the evaluation modalities/producers and the required logistic, physical and technical assistance. The team used Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) Techniques for conducting evaluation study. Then evaluation guidelines and Monitoring Questionnaire were prepared for detailed understanding and assessment of the physical achievements and impact of project. Based on the designed evaluation guidelines, the team did visit all of the project villages, where the development activities were implemented.

During the course of field visits, the team inspected the records and documents in the midst of the various technical aspects of different sectoral activities implemented. The teams interacted with the project staff, watershed Development Committee and SHGs/User Groups, Farming community, beneficiary farmers and progressive farmers and representative for assessing their level of participation and view-points regarding the programme activities. The opinion, clarifications and suggestion of the project staff, farming community were critically evaluated and

Page | 33 appropriately addressed in the report. All project records were also collected and analysed. The data's were generated on key performance indicators viz. participatory processes, environmental and economic issues. The content analysis technique was used to analyse the data and information qualitatively and quantitatively (using descriptive statistics). Performance appraisal was done in terms of percentages of achievements made under all components and its impact on environment and community.

Performance of the programme based on the findings of the field survey and subsequent recommendations for more effective and efficient implementation is illustrated in the report. As per the findings all micro watershed represent more or less similar scenario with respect to the natural resources endowment, economic well-being and social fabric. The component wise findings are as illustrated herein:

Land is a basic input for agricultural prosecution. It support producing the food, fodder, fibre and timber, which is the primary requirements of human & animal population. Also meet the demand of various agro-based industries. Owing to over exploitation, casual denudation of forests, un-controlled grazing and the problem of encroachment has all together responsible for land degradation. This situation has led to the increased pressure on “Cultivated Land” and hence there is need to put a halt for further degradation. The focus of the programme was to checking the land degradation, restoration of ecological balance, maintenance of Biological diversity, protection of catchments for soil and water conservation, putting waste/degraded lands to sustainable use, generation of employment through effective people's participation at all stages of planning, implementation and management.

The program aims to increase the income level of the poor people, who live on wastelands/degraded land. The programme is being implemented through community participation and go behind the watershed approach, for the development of wastelands/degraded lands. The participation of the local community in planning, implementation, monitoring and training for the management of watersheds has been recognized as a critical input in these

Page | 34 programmers. The programmer's salient features are the treatment of non-forest wasteland/degraded land by checking land degradation and conserving soil moisture for improving productivity of these lands. Promoting the overall economic develop proving the social-economic resource poor and disadvantage section inhabiting the programme areas.

1. Introduction: Bhanargad- I is a micro- watershed about 8-10km from Chobati market, which is about 15 K.M by Road from Didihat. This micro watershed drains into the Bhanargad stream, which flows into Ramganga east river system, it consists of five villages Naali Vishral, Jubra, Bhaluudiyar, Borabugga, Sera, there is rural hilly habitation, the economy is depend upon agriculture and cattle rearing. Major crops cultivation is rice, wheat, raagi, urd, soyabean, masoor, etc. Farmers also rear cow, buffalo for milk, goat for meat and bullocks for field ploughing.

2. General Observation:

 Watershed Development Committee was constituted but not actively functional after project.

Page | 36  Women and SC & ST representation is meagre and not actively participated in project work.

 The Meetings register shows that the meeting of WDC are held on regular basis

 The decision making system is decentralized.

 The community participation was found to be better to large extent

 The people were aware about project approach up to some extent.

 The Self Help Groups (SHGs) and User Groups (UGs) were fictional up to project period but are not existing at present.

 The group members are not oriented on group dynamics due to poor exposure.

 The group members are not engaged in saving and credit activities.

 The user group do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.

 The entry point activity has been very limited and not much work is visible in the project area.

 The contour trenches have been made but are not of good quality

 Soil conservation measures have been taken by making breast walls and retaining walls.

 Water harvesting have been done and dugout pond were made but of poor quality

Page | 37  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.

 Trenches are not been excavated as per norms and are dense.

 Grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has not taken place.

 Under Water harvesting measures, the dugout pounds are downstream of village and site selection is poor.

 Construction of cement tanks are useful activity and addressed as per community need.

 Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach has not followed.

 The treatment works have been done in catchment area but quality of work is an average.

 Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development, but no technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements, so that the not much expected results were obtained by these intervention.

 Various Citrus variety of plants were distributed on individual but survival rate was an average.

 The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed, even the survival of plants are less than 50%.

 Afforestation work is not successful due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 10 percent plants are surviving.

Page | 38  Pasture land development may be a useful intervention to fulfil the fodder need to the community.

3. Gaps:

 The Entry point activity were very limited.

 Trenches have been made but quality and sizes are not proper.

 In Agro forestry few plants have been planted, due to carelessness, the survival is very low.

 Dug out ponds were made but of poor quality, even no proper stone work has been done.

 The number of ponds shown in paper are not in seen in ground.

 There is no awareness about utilization of funds for seed money for SHGs & UGs

 There is process of social monitoring to be adopted.

4. Recommendations:

 The Entry point activity should technically reviewed and audited by technical field staff.

 The watershed work like trenches, check dam should fulfil technical norms.

 Women and social deprived sections must be involved in the meetings of committee and their representation must be ensured.

Page | 39  There must be administrative and social monitoring of the work being done during project execution.

 The income generation activates should be concentrated as per need of locals and availability of raw material.

 WDC and other committees must actively involve in planning and implementation of watershed activities.

 Soil and moisture conservation activities should execute in the guidance of technical staffs.

Improvement in productivity of land should be measured by technical agency time to time and assist to farmers.

 Capacity Building and Skill Up gradation training should conduct as per need of project beneficiaries.

 Economic Development (Employment Generation and Livelihood Enhancement) must be prioritized.

 Convergence and linkages must be obtained for integrating and dovetailing the activities

Block Didihat Watershed Bhanargad Micro-Watershed Bhanargad-2 Gram Sabha Soun Goan Revenue villages Naalideuppa, Tiladi, Gairaad, Melkunda, Covered Chitkalgoan, Soungoan Area of Watershed 500.00 hectare Treated Area 450.00 hectare Project Implementing Assistant Director, Watershed/Soil Conservation Agency Department, Didihat WDC President Dan Singh WDC Secretary Ganga Singh Rawat

1. Introduction:

Bhanargad micro watershed has a small township of Chobati, The motor road is at the top of the ridge which is distant at 5 K., also form the drainages lines the rainwater drains into the Banargad river let which flows into the Ram Ganga East River downstream. The Chobati Township is in the north, while in the south is the lowest point of the micro watershed that is Soogoanto the east is the micro watershed of Bhanargad-I and west is Bhanargad-III, The micro watershed consists seven villages. The agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of the community. Wheat and rice are the common crops, beside these pulses like urd, gahat, bhatt soyabeans were also grown by the rural farmers.

2. General Observation:

 Watershed Development Committee was constituted during project period but not functional at present.  Women and SC & ST representation was up to the norm of WDC regulation.

Page | 53  The Meetings register of WDC was available but regular minutes was not noted in the meeting register.  Community participation and people awareness was meagre.  The SHGs were formed but not oriented too much, even not exist at present.  No record have been found of group saving, so it seems that the group members were not engaged in saving and credit activities.  UGs were formed but do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.  The entry point activity were done in the upper reaches and at the edge of micro watershed boundary.  Trenches, kuccha ponds, agro forestry, naula repair for drinking water and guls for minor irrigation work were done under watershed development.  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Trenches are not been excavated as per norms and are dense.  Fodder grasses like Napier plantation were done on the edge of step walls of the agriculture land.  Soil conservation work like breast wall, support wall, check wall and check dam have been done in many area  Water harvesting worked are dugout pounds are downstream of village and site selection is poor.  Construction of cement tanks are useful activity and addressed as per community need.  Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach were not followed.  The quality of treatment works and its maintenance is very poor in the catchment area.  Agro forestry work has also been encouraging, and found in favour of community  Even though the improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers but germination and crop yield was not resulted under agriculture development.  Fish farming has been adopted by some individual farmer on their land and they are keenly interested for this intervention.

Page | 54  Nursery were developed for plantation of Retha, Churamango, Bheemal, popular, shahatoot.  No technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.  The expected results were not obtained by these intervention.  Various Citrus variety of plants were distributed on individual  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed.  The survival of plants are less than 40%.  Afforestation work is not successful due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 10 percent plants are surviving.  The project work is mostly located at three, four villages and toks.  Pasture land development may be a useful intervention to fulfil the fodder need to the community.

3. Gaps:

 The Community development and contribution is limited.  Community contribution is not properly recorded, the receipt of payment slip of contribution is not issued  The quality of training was not so competent to the beneficiaries  The women beneficiaries were isolated in all the project training  The awareness about entry point activity were limited.  The income generation activities were not taken for the youth and for women through their SHGs.

4. Recommendation:

 The awareness activity should have priority before starting entry point activity.  The role of COBs, SHGs and UGs should be active in planning and execution of project work.  In planning of watershed work PRA tools should be followed.

Page | 55  Community development and contribution must be given priority and also should record properly.  Training should be given at village level, so each beneficiary can get the benefit.  Open general meeting of Watershed committee should be held regularly and maximum effort should be done for more community member participation.  The income generation activity should focus on need of local community.  The market facilities to be provided to farmers for sale of their produces.

In winter season the temperature is 6 -150 C in summer the temperature varies 25 to 35 0C, the average rain is 1700-1800mm. Agriculture and animal husbandry is the main occupation of this rural community. Major crops, wheat, rice, maize, raagi, in pulses masoor, urd, gahat, soyabean are grown by the farmers, similarly cow, buffalo, bullock, goat are rear by farms.

Page | 68 2. General Observation:

 Watershed Development Committee was constituted during project but defunct at present.  The Meetings register was available but few WDC minutes were recorded  Decision making system is decentralized.  Community participation and people awareness about project approach was average.  The Self Help Groups were formed but not existing at present.  The group members are not oriented on group dynamics due to poor exposure.  The group members are not engaged in saving and credit activities.  UGs were formed but do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.  Trainings were organized in external institutions.  The awareness level at ground level was an average, so that not much impacts is perceptible.  Few farmers have stepped into vegetable production.  The soil and moisture conservation activities have been repeated in spite of need of other structure.  Nursery were developed in some sites, but fencing is required for its protection  The watershed work quality is very poor, which lack of technical guidance.  Dug out pond and trenches were made but present condition is very poor lack of regular maintenance.  Construction of cement tanks are useful activity and addressed as per community need.  Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach has not followed.  The quality of treatment works is not up to mark in catchment area.  Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development  No technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements so the expected results were not obtained by these intervention.

Page | 69  Various Citrus variety of plants were distributed on individual basis.  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed the survival of plants are less than 50%.  The success of Afforestation work is in average and nearly 30 percent plants are surviving.

3. Gaps:

 The entry point activity are limited.  The Fodder and fuel wood have not got proper place in nursery.  Fencing arrangements have not been done in nursery.  Lack of technical guidance the treatment work is of poor quality.  Lack of community awareness the survival of plants in forestation work is poor.  Lack of sufficient presence of members of WDC members, the quality of work in watershed area was assumed of average quality.  Lack of motivation of SHGs members, the use of revolving fund was bellow to expectation.  The Development fund contribution record was not found.

4. Recommendations:

 CBOs should meet on regular basis to discuss the issues.  Groups should be formed as per norms and benefitted according their needs  The assets created under the watershed should monitor and maintained under the supervision of WDC  To fence the forestry area should be selected with people participation and social fencing should encouraged  Training should be qualitative and on regular basis with the intervention of line department.

1. Introduction:

This watershed is blow of the kala mani mountain in the north, in the east is Ginni, the watershed to the west is Gedyar river in the valley, this micro-watershed consist six villages this area has high population of schedule cast and other cast of Thakur, Brahmin etc. The main river is haluka River, Which submerge in to Ramganga River in east. The Ginni/Girgoan is the GP ,it is located in the north at 11o km distance from district head quarter, its height is 1550m m.s.l, the nearly bus station is Kwiti, it is 1km distance from road head, in winter temperature of the area is 30C and in summer temperature is 300C, the average rain fall is 150mm. The agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of the community. Wheat and rice are the common crops, beside these pulses like urad, gahat, bhatt, soyabeans were also grown by the rural farmers.

Page | 84 2. General Observation:

 Watershed Development Committee is constituted, women and SC & ST representation is sufficient.  The Meetings register shows that the meeting of WDC are held on regular basis and decision making system is decentralized.  Community participation was found to be better to large extent  People were aware about project approach.  The SHGs were formed as per norms, the group members are oriented and exposure visit were arranged.  UGs were formed and are functional but account of are not been opened.  The user group do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.  Trainings were organized in external institutions.  The awareness level was an average, so the impacts was perceptible.  Technical trainings on IGA were conducted in GBPUAT.  Few farmers have stepped into vegetable production.  The soil and moisture conservation activities have been repeated in spite of need of other structure.  Soil conservation has been an important issue and check walls have been made this area is quite land slid prone  Water conservation work has been done alongwith the soil conservation  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has taken place.  Water harvesting worked are dugout pounds are downstream of village were destroyed by disasters occurs in 2010-11.  Renovation of naulas were done as per community need  The treatment works have been done in catchment area.  Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development  No technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.

Page | 85  Various fruits plants mango &Citrus species were distributed on individual basis.  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed.  Afforestation work is not successful due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 10 percent plants are surviving.  Pasture land development is a useful intervention to fulfil the fodder need to the community.

3. Gaps:

 There is need for more soil conservation measures including Bio vegetation methods like planting of Ram Bans.  There is no training by the line departments at the village level.  Training for handicrafts for weaving of carpets and movable weaver’s machine is needed.  The SHGs group are not doing any economic development activities  Horticulture is being promoted in a very limited way.  Agro forestry is being done in a few villages.  Most of the project development work has been done in only a few villages.  The abundantly available water is so low in the villages like Bhandarigaon, fishery has not been encouraged.  Agro forestry has been promoted in a very limited way.  Furrows have not been made to standard sizes, and are in small numbers.

4. Recommendations:

 Though area is landslide prone there should be kuchhakhals made in areas which are quite safe.  More soil conservation measures including bio vegetation methods like planting of ram bans on land slide prone areas to reduce the effect of soil erosion.  There is the need for training by the line departments at the village level.  The technical guidance and modern equipment should provide to trainees.

Page | 86  The SHGs group must be guided to be need based for any economic development activities  Horticulture activity should promoted in large way.  Farmers should encouraged for Agro forestry in the few villages with community participation.  The project development work under watershed should be benefited to all sectioned of the community.  The fisheries should be promoted as an economic and employment generating activity.  Agro forestry has been promoted in a very big way to reduce the dependency on forest.  Furrows have not been made to standard sizes, and in large numbers, to benefit and for the sustenance of water resources.

1. Introduction:

This Micro watershed is a part of Man gad watershed system. In the west it starts from Nautas Ghati, the ridge drainage lines flow down to the east into the Man gad water system, which flows downstream into Ramganga river, while in the south is Man gad-II. The project side starts from the road side on Barinas-Gangolihat motor road, this micro-watershed has seven villages. The Man gad is at the south of district head quarter at 104 km distance from HQ, Chaudmanya is the market and bus stand. It is at 1100m m.s.l. The village is 2 km distance from road head. The temperature in winter in 30C and summer 400C, the average rain fall is 1450mm. The agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of the community. Wheat and rice are the common crops, beside these pulses like urad, gahat, bhatt, soyabeans were also grown by the rural farmers.

Page | 100 2. General Observation:

 The Watershed Development Committee was constituted during project but defunct at present.  The Women and SC & ST representation is average in WDC, SHGs and UGs.  As per record meetings of WDC and groups are held on regular basis and decision making system is decentralized.  The community participation was found to be average. The people awareness about project was usual. The self-help groups were formed during project but defunct at present.  There is no record of group members saving and credit activities.  UGs were formed and do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.  The awareness level was very poor, so the impacts is not much perceptible.  The trainings were conducted but no standard curriculum is adopted.  Few farmers have stepped into new crop & vegetable production.  Under watershed , the recharge pits in limited numbers are made in upper reaches of the micro watershed  The horticulture has been promoted with fruit plants of Malta, lemon etc.  Agro forestry with Quireel, Bhimal, Ban have been planted. The survival is about 30%  The soil and moisture conservation activities have been repeated in spite of need of other structure.  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Trenches are not been excavated as per norms and are dense.  Grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has been taken place in few sites.  The water harvesting work are of poor quality, even dugout pounds are downstream of village and site selection is poor.  Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach has not followed.  The maintenance of treatment works is poor in the catchment area.

Page | 101  Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development  No qualitative technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed.  Afforestation work is usually seen in few sites.  Fodder development activity supported pasture land development in some sites

3. Gap:

 Under watershed development, limited recharge pits were made  Limited variety fruit plants were distributed to the farmers  Under fodder development limited Napier plantation were seen in few sits.  Limited paddy and wheat seeds were distributed to the farmers  The motivational activity for strengthening to SHGs and UGs were seen limited  The nursery development activity were seen very limited  There is poor participation of the community members in entry point activity.  There no social auditing system adopted during the project work.

4. Recommendation:

 There should be regular interaction with the community members for institutionalization of CBOs and groups  There should mandatory of women participation in planning and execution of watershed development activity.  THE CBOs and groups should have regular orientation and training for updation  Watershed development work should monitor by the PIA ,technical agency by time to time  The Agriculture, horticulture and dairy development work should have a priority for strengthening the livelihood of farmers.

Page | 102  The Agro forestry and fodder developed activities should encouraged among the farmers.  The watershed development work should be discussed among community and priority to be given for community need.  The communication channel should be strengthen..

Block Berinag Watershed Ramganga River Micro Watershed Mangarh gad 2 Gram Sabha Selipakh Revenue Villages Covered Saila, Bailkhet, Nautash, Jhultad, Chama, Pahar, Bhulaki, Aadiyali Area of Watershed 598.33 hectare Treated Area 529 hectare Project Period Five Years Year of Project start and 2003-2009 completion Project Implementing Agency Assistant Director, Watershed Department, Berinag WDC President Jagat Singh WDC Secretary Ganga Singh

1. Introduction:

This micro watershed is a part of the Man gad watershed, it starts from Man gad-I ,the ridge drainage lines flow down to the east of the Pataal Bhuwneshwar Caves, further which flows downstream into Ramganga River, in the north is Nautal Ghat, while to the south is the Man gad-III micro watershed area. The project area starts from the road side on the Barinas-Gangolihat motor road. This micro-watershed has six villages. The Selipakh is the main Gram Panchayat, which is at 1250m msl, this gram panchayat situated in the south at 105 km from district head quarter. The main bus stand of this GP is Nautas, it is 2km distance from road head. In winter temperature of the area is 30C and in summer temperature is 350C, the average rain fall is 1500mm. The agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of the community. Wheat and rice are the common crops, beside these pulses like urad, gahat, bhatt, soyabeans were also grown by the rural farmers.

Page | 116 2. General Observation:

 The Watershed Development Committee was functioning up to project duration but defunct at present.  The women and SC & ST representation is average in meetings of WDC and decision making system is decentralized.  The community participation was found to be better to large extent and people were aware about project approach.  The groups were formed in project period but not existing at present.  The group members have poor orientation and exposure, so they do not engaged in saving and credit activities.  Even trainings were organized in the external institutions but awareness level was very poor, so the impacts is not much perceptible.  The quality and quantity of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Under watershed development the trenches, dugout ponds, check walls, other structures were created but are not maintained after project.  Under fodder development the grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has taken place in limited sites.  Renovation of naulas and supported walls were done for reducing soil erosion.  The Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development but no technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.  The fruits and Citrus plants were distributed on individual basis for horticulture promotion and plants were roped into private land in small patches.  Afforestation work is not successful due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 10 percent plants are surviving.

3. Gaps:

 Under water conservation, the recharge pits were constructed in limited numbers  Horticulture has not been given enough thrust

Page | 117  Fodder planting of other grasses should also be taken up  Agriculture seeds have limited varieties only wheat and paddy seed were provided to farmers  Awareness and motivational activity are limited for promotion of groups.  The community awareness is very low, so the participation seems to poor.  Contribution of community contribution pattern was very poor.

4. Recommendations:

 Under water conservation, the recharge pits and dug out pond, check dams and trenches should constructed more in numbers, so the rain water flow can be restored.  The various fruit plant should introduced through the nursery at local level for horticulture promotion.  The local as well as good variety of grasses should promote for fodder planting in fallow land.  The hybrid agriculture seeds should promote for improving the yield of crops and cash cropping should also promote.  For awareness camps, meeting and interaction should be planned for motivation to the community.  The Micro finance and mutual contribution and its revolving should strengthen among community for sustaining the project.

1. Introduction: The Mangad-3 micro-watershed cover 473.86 hect. area under IWDP-2nd batch, Village Saini is in the north, Pataal Bhuwneshwar is in south, Chandmaniya is in north Ram Ganga River is in the eastern part of the area. Bhatijar, Kantadi Sigoli, Angariyagadda, Guthala villages are falling under this area. The agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of the community. Wheat and rice are the common crops, beside these pulses like urad, gahat, bhatt, soyabeans were also grown by the rural farmers.

2. General Observation:

 Watershed Development Committee is functional during project period, but not working at present.  The Meetings register shows that the meeting of WDC were held on regular basis

Page | 131  Watershed Development plan (WDP) has been prepared and implementation of work was done as per WDP.  Constitution of SHGs and UGs were done but Women and SC & ST representation was meagre.  Revolving Fund was generated and utilized.  Community Contribution (Corpus) was calculated as labour sharing of benefits by the community efforts in watershed development work.  Financial management and Maintain of Records is good.  The skill development trainings were conducted for capacity building in some expert institutions.  Soil and Moisture Conservation activities were done under watershed development project.  Water Harvesting Measures were done by constructing check dam, check wall, dugout pond etc.  Afforestation work was done successfully by planning various plants but due to open grazing and poor protection measures, the survival rate is appx.30 percent.  Pasture land development was developed by roping Napier grass and some fodder trees like Ban, Uteesh, Bhimal, Khareek, this may be a useful intervention to fulfil the fodder need to the community.  Livelihood Enhancement and Income Generation  Some Agricultural equipment were distributed for adoption of proven technologies  The user group do not create fund for repairing and maintenance of Community assets.  Few farmers have stepped into vegetable production.  The soil and moisture conservation activities have been repeated in spite of need of other structure.  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Trenches are excavated as per norms.  Grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has been taken place.  Water harvesting worked are dugout pounds are downstream of village and site selection is poor.

Page | 132  Construction of cement tanks are useful activity and addressed as per community need.  Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach has not followed.  The treatment works have been done in catchment area.  Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development  Various fruits and Citrus variety of plants were distributed to the farmers for horticulture development  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed.

3. Gaps:

 Few varieties of fodder plants were planted in nursery, it seems that fodder development is limited.  Only some seasonal fruit plants were planted it shows that the horticulture has not been given enough thrust  Agriculture seeds have limited varieties only wheat and paddy seed were provided to farmers  The SHGs and UGs are not actively participating in watershed development activities it mean that the awareness and motivational activity are limited for promotion of groups.  The records were kept in the office it means that concern committees are not much familiars about maintaining records and documents.  The community contribution pattern was not recorded properly so it should be strengthen.

4. Recommendations:

 Under water conservation, the recharge pits and dug out pond, check dams and trenches should constructed more in numbers, so the rain water flow can be restored.

Page | 133  The various fruit plant should introduced through the nursery at local level for horticulture promotion.  The local as well as good variety of grasses should promote through the nursery for fodder planting in fallow land.  The hybrid agriculture seeds should promote for improving the yield of crops and cash cropping should also promote.  For awareness camps, meeting and interaction should be planned for motivation to the community.  The Micro finance and mutual contribution and its revolving should strengthen among community for sustaining the project.

Block Kanalichhina Watershed Ramganga River Micro Watershed Bhanar gad 5 Gram Sabha Bhandari Goon Rawar Revenue Villages Covered Area of Watershed 421.00 hectare Treated Area 378.00 hectare Project Period Five Years Year of Project Start and 2003-2009 completion Project Implementing Assistant Director, Watershed Agency Department, Kanalichhina WDC President Teg Bahadur Chand WDC Secretary Basant Lekhak

1. Introduction:

Under the IWDP Bhanargad V, total 421 ha area have been selected. Bogta Bhadari goon is in the east, Ram ganga is in the west, Digra Muwani Govradi is in north and Kimtoli is in the southern part of the area, only one Gram Panchayat Bhandari goan Rajwar in falling in the area. Agriculture and cattle rearing is the main occupation of this mountainous rural community. Beside paddy crops like Wheat, rice, Masoor, Soyabean crops, the fruits Peach, orange, guava, banana and vegetable Potato, onion, cabbage, cauliflower, pumpkin vegetables are cultivated by these farmers.

2. General Observations:

 The Watershed Development Committee was functioning upto project and women and SC & ST representation is as per norm, the presence of members in

Page | 162 the meetings of WDC as per quorum and decision making system is decentralized.  The community participation was found to be better to large extent and people were aware about project approach.  There is no record of group formation.  Even trainings were organized in the external institutions but awareness level was very poor, so the impacts is not much perceptible.  The quality and quantity of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.  Under watershed development the recharge pits, trenches, dugout ponds, check walls, other structures were created but are not maintained after project.  Community Gul have been made for irrigation and it is maintained properly.  Under fodder development the grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has taken place in limited sites.  Renovation of naulas and supported walls were done for reducing soil erosion.  The Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development but no technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.  The fruits and citrus plants were distributed on individual basis for horticulture promotion and plants were roped into private land in small patches.  Afforestation work is not successful due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 10 percent plants are surviving.

3. Gaps:

 Under water conservation components, the recharge pits and check wall were constructed in limited numbers.  Horticulture has not been given enough thrust  Fodder planting of other grasses should also be taken up  Agriculture seeds have limited varieties only wheat and paddy seed were provided to farmers  Awareness and motivational activity are limited for promotion of groups.

Page | 163  The community awareness is very low, so the participation seems to poor.  Contribution of community contribution pattern was very poor.

4. Recommendations:

 Under water conservation, the recharge pits and dug out pond, check dams and trenches should constructed more in numbers, so the rain water flow can be restored.  The various fruit plant should introduced through the nursery at local level for horticulture promotion.  The local as well as good variety of grasses should promote for fodder planting in fallow land.  Ponds should be made as per guidelines.  Forestation area should be selected , there is a need for dense forestation in this area  Grasses of Napier and fodder variety grasses should be planted more.  The hybrid agriculture seeds should promote for improving the yield of crops and cash cropping should also promote.  For awareness camps, meeting and interaction should be planned for motivation to the community.  The Micro finance and mutual contribution and its revolving should strengthen among community for sustaining the project.

1. Introduction: Under the IWDP Bhanargad-VI the total 331.89 ha area is selected, which has Govardi is in the east and Ram Ganga is in west, Degoti is in the north and Bhandari goon is in the southern part of this area. Two villages are falling under this area. The main station in Muwani.

2. General Observation:  Watershed Development Committee was constituted during the project and Watershed development plan (WDP) was prepared by the community members. The women and SC & ST representation is as per norms.  The Meetings of WDC are held on regular basis and community participation was found to be better to large extent and decision making system is decentralized.  There is no information about Self Help Groups and Users Groups.  The soil and moisture conservation activities have been repeated in spite of need of other structure.  Quality of structures are reasonably good and serving to its purpose.

Page | 176  Grass plantation on terrace and fodder tree plantation has been taken place.  Water harvesting worked are dugout pounds are downstream of village and site selection is poor.  Construction of cement tanks are useful activity and addressed as per community need.  Renovation of naulas were done but integrated approach has not followed.  The treatment works have been done in catchment area.  Improved seed of wheat, paddy, soybean and pulses were distributed to the farmers under agriculture development  The technical training and technical inputs have been provided before distributing agricultural implements.  Various fruit & Citrus variety of plants were distributed on individual basis to the farmers.  The plants were roped into private land in small patches but collective orchard approach has not been followed.  Afforestation work is done but due to open grazing and poor protection measures and hardly 30 percent plants are surviving.  Napier grass plantation was planted for pasture development, it may be a useful intervention to fulfil the fodder need to the community.

3. Gaps:  Few varieties of fodder plants were planted in nursery, it seems that fodder development is limited.  Only some seasonal fruit plants were planted it shows that the horticulture has not been given enough thrust  Agriculture seeds have limited varieties only wheat and paddy seed were provided to farmers  The SHGs and UGs are not actively participating in watershed development activities it mean that the awareness and motivational activity are limited for promotion of groups.  The records were kept in the office it means that concern committees are not much familiar about maintaining records and documents.

Page | 177  The community contribution pattern was not recorded properly so it should be strengthen.

4. Recommendations:  Under water conservation, the recharge pits and dug out pond, check dams and trenches should constructed more in numbers, so the rain water flow can be restored.  The various fruit plant should introduced through the nursery at local level for horticulture promotion.  The local as well as good variety of grasses should promote through the nursery for fodder planting in fallow land.  The hybrid agriculture seeds should promote for improving the yield of crops and cash cropping should also promote.
