PROJECT OBJECTIVES a) Sectoral objectives as indicated in the medium term/ five year plan
The strategies for conservation of water provided in the Punjab Growth Strategy (PGS), 2018 (page-73) envisages “Water conservation at farms through the increased adoption of HEIS such as drip and sprinkler systems”. PGS also envisages “to focus on the expansion of irrigated agriculture in Thal”. The Framework for Implementation of National Climate Change Policy also envisages “Identify and implement most efficient irrigation techniques such as sprinklers and trickle irrigation etc.” as short term action 1.1.3 at page-11. As such, the proposed project activities are completely inline with the sectoral objectives outlined in the Pakistan Vision 2025, NCCP, PGS and PASP. b) Project Objectives
The main objective of the project is to enhance gram cultivation in Thal area and strengthen small farmers’ resilience to droughts under changing climate. The key objectives of the project would include, inter alia, the followings. i. Save the gram crop from failure during drought conditions by providing life saving irrigation with sprinkler irrigation system ii. Promote cultivation of pulses in the project area through developing site specific agronomic recommendations to enhance production of pulses for self sufficiency iii. Sustain farm income/profitability of small landholders to improve their livelihoods and alleviate poverty under changing climate in Thal area iv. Build capacity of the farmers to cultivate pulses under extreme climate change events c) Sectoral Linkages/Relationship
The proposed project is inline with all sectoral objectives and plans. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are comprehensive universal set of 17 goals and 169 targets/ indicators around which future development agenda of the world have been framed till 2030. Goal-2 and Goal-6 of SDGs focus on ensuring sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.
-4- The proposed project is in line with the development plans of the Punjab Government and has strong relationship with the Punjab Growth Strategy 2018, which envisages “focus on the expansion of irrigated agriculture in Thal and aims at both improve supply and optimize utilization of water, seeds, fertilizers and machinery for achieving the targeted agricultural growth”. The government's vision for agriculture sector encompasses land development and water conservation by making timely availability of water and its efficient use through modern irrigation technologies.
The proposed project interventions aim at pilot testing of sprinkler irrigation technologies for successful cultivation of pulses in the Thal desert and subsequently recommending a plan for sustainable cultivation of gram in these areas through life saving irrigations at appropriate growth stages with the sprinkler system. It would contribute in enhancing gram productivity, promote alternate crops like Mung, Gawar, Mints, Millets etc. for increasing farm income, improving livelihood of people, enabling farmers to adjust the agriculture practices with varying environments, and alleviating poverty. d) In case of revised project, indicate objectives of the project if different from original PC-I Not applicable. 6. DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT I) Background/Justification a) Rationale of the Project
Under the emerging challenges of climate change, food security and water scarcity, increase in production of cereals, pulses, fruits and vegetables to meet the food requirement of increasing population is direly needed. In countries like Pakistan, majority of the people living in rural areas consume substantial quantity of pluses for meeting their daily meal needs because these are rich source of protein and substitute of other costly sources of protein e.g. meat and fish. Major pulses include Gram, Lentil, Moong and Mash. The pulses are grown on 5% of the country’s total cultivated area. Punjab contributes 80% in total production of the pulses in the country and occupies 5% of the total cropped area.
The agriculture sector has become extremely vulnerable to the climate change. During recent years, the production of all crops has been affected by the climatic changes, pulses are no exception. For instance, production of gram has been badly affected in severe drought season as its production totally depends upon the intensity and distribution of rainfall, being cultivated mostly in rain-fed areas.
-5- The per capita availability of pulses from local production has significantly declined and hence supplemented by its import. The import bill of Pakistan on pulses has increased significantly during last few years and there is no export of pulses. The year-wise import of pulses during last five years is shown in Figure-1. These pulses have been imported from Australia, Myanmar, Canada, Tanzania and Ethiopia.
Figure-1: Quantity vis-à-vis Value of Import of Pulses b) Case of Gram/ Chickpea
Gram/ Chickpea is one of the most important pulses used in the Punjab, Pakistan. It is valued for its nutritive seeds with high protein content. Chickpea seeds are eaten fresh as green vegetable, parched, fried, roasted, and boiled; as snack food, sweet and condiments; seeds are ground and the flour can be used as soup and to make bread; prepared with pepper, salt and lemon it is served as a side dish as well as dal chana is very popular.
Chickpea/ Gram is the major source of livelihood of rural people in the Thal desert of Punjab that is well known as home of chickpea because the area cannot support/sustain major cash crops due to low fertility and lack of irrigation. Its production entirely depends upon the intensity and distribution of rainfall. There are two main types of chickpea, distinguished by seed size, shape and colour. The first relatively small seed is called desi and with large seed called kabuli. Desi chickpea is cultivated mainly in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. Thal accounts for the bulk of production of this crop. Chickpeas are mainly grown in Mianwali, Bhakhar, Khushab, Layyah,
-6- Muzaffargarh and Jhang districts under rain-fed conditions. The crop has been grown on about 2.129 million acres during 2016-17.
Chickpeas grow in the Rabi season with cool moderate temperatures for growth. The crop can tolerate high temperatures during maturity but it is very susceptible to diseases, if humidity is high during extended rains or over irrigation or if grown in shallow watertable soils. It is also sensitive to soil and water salinity. Chickpea is well suited for growing on residual moisture left in the soil from Kharif season.
Gram/ Chickpea contributes 70-80% to the total pulses area and production. The gram cultivated area and its production is decreasing as shown in Figure-2 and Figure-3, respectively, which reveals that both the area and production trends are declining over the period from 2008-09 to 2015-16.
Figure-2: Gram cultivated area over the period of last eight years

Figure-3: Gram production over the period of last eight years
The Bhakkar district is the largest producer of gram in the Punjab. The area under cultivation and production of Chickpea/ Gram in Bhakkar is shown in the Table-1 below.
Table-1: Area and Production of Gram in Bhakkar Area (000 acre) Production (000 Tons) Year Bhakkar %age of Punjab Bhakkar %age of Punjab 2005-06 1007.50 45 168.40 44 2006-07 1032.30 46 327.90 45 2007-08 1240.30 51 173.90 45 2008-09 1141.41 48 301.50 46 2009-10 1097.56 46 186.10 38 2010-11 1125.80 47 160.10 37 2011-12 1055.16 46 77.40 34 2012-13 1047.60 47 355.00 51 2013-14 976.01 46 143.30 43 2014-15 1020.05 48 166.00 52 c) Crop Water Requirement
The total seasonal average crop water requirement of gram (Chickpea) has been calculated using the scientific method, which comes to about 275 mm (11 inch) and ranges from 250-315 mm (10-13 inch) as presented in Table-2. The crop is, however, liable to lodging and disease with extra vegetative growth when there is high moisture and humid conditions. Accordingly, irrigation should be restricted to one or two applications in early vegetative phase and at flowering or pod formation stage. It has been observed that delay in rainfall during specific growth stages due to
-8- shifting of rainfall patterns owing to climate change phenomenon severely affects crop growth and resultantly leads to crop failure, if life-saving irrigation is not applied at such stages. It can be concluded that the production of Gram is directly proportional to light but well distributed rains during its growth period.

There are many studies conducted by the researchers for impact assessment and technical feasibility of sprinkler irrigation for growing pulses in arid environment. One of such study titled “Technical feasibility and the Performance of Sprinkler Irrigation system in Mannar, Sri Lanka” published during 2015 revealed that use of sprinkler irrigation technologies resulted in a significant improvement in gross income, net income and yield, over the conventional methods of irrigation. Net income of groundnut, onion, green gram, were higher than those of the conventional method by 59%, 45% & 47%, respectively. Similarly, another study on Economics of Chickpea Production in the Thal Desert of Pakistan has highlighted climatic uncertainty due to erratic rainfall in the Thal desert as the main obstacle of crop production under rainfed conditions. The study revealed that during the drought periods all the produce is vanished and even farmer had no seed to sow for the next year. Lack of irrigation at critical growth stages of crop has been identified as major constraint in declining area vis-à-vis low yield. e) Potential Areas and Opportunities for Gram Cultivation
The climatic uncertainty due to erratic rainfall in the Thal desert is the main obstacle in crop production under rainfed conditions. During the drought periods, there is absolutely no produce and even the farmer has no seed to sow in the next year. The major reasons for low yield of gram identified by the Arid Zone Research, Institute, Bhakkar are poor sandy soils, erratic rainfall pattern, uneven rainfall distribution, small holdings, less or no access to quality seed, -9- conventional agronomic practices and poor marketing system. Supplementary irrigation at critical stages of crop growth in required quantity plays a vital role in getting the high yield vis-à-vis production in Thal area.
There are opportunities for growers to get potential yields for enhancing income from chickpea cultivation by ensuring lifesaving irrigation to the gram crop. It has been observed that sprinkler irrigation has proved very beneficial for successful cultivation of gram crop because it helps to maintain favorable growing environment for the crop through maintaining proper soil moisture level. It is indicated that various types of sprinkler systems may be pilot tested for life saving irrigation for promotion of gram cultivation in Thal area. These may be either simple fixed raingun or portable sprinkler system or reel system or center pivot system or any other combination depending upon site-specific requirements and choice of the farmers. The facility of solar system as prime mover may also be made available from the on-going ADP scheme, if required at any site. It is further indicated that farmers in these areas usually have water source in the form of tubewell and they may require watercourse to be constructed for successful conveyance of precious irrigation water to the gram fields. The water may also be conveyed through pipes and lifted from the watercourse/ distribution box through sprinkler system for irrigation at critical growth stages of gram. The facility of irrigation scheme may be provided on such sites from the PIPIP, if required.
II) PROJECT COMPONENTS The major activities to be carried out under the proposed project would include, interalia, the followings.
(a) Awareness creation and capacity building of gram/ pulses growers for successful cultivation of gram with sprinkler irrigation under changing climate. (b) Installation of site specific sprinkler irrigation system on 1,680 acres for serving about 5,000 acres. (c) Carry out research trials on gram cultivation under sprinkler irrigation systems to develop/ recommend a sustainable, economical and practical gram production technology for successful gram cultivation in Thal region.
A conceptual layout of envisaged project activities for successful cultivation of gram/ pulses under the proposed project is given in Figure-4.

Figure-4: Conceptual Layout of Envisaged Interventions
A. Awareness Creation and Capacity Building
Awareness creation and capacity building of the farmers regarding modern crop production technologies has got paramount importance during recent years. The well informed and knowledgeable farmers can significantly enhance productivity of all inputs of crop production i.e. water, nutrients, energy, labor, capital etc. It is, accordingly, planned to create awareness and motivate farming community to actively participate in project activities for enhancing production of gram/ chickpea and pulses. The farmers will be made aware of need for life saving irrigation, sprinkler irrigation system, its benefits, operation and maintenance of the system, good agronomic practices for successful cultivation of pulses etc. The awareness creation regarding the sprinkler system will be the responsibility of the OFWM staff.
A comprehensive mass awareness campaign would be launched in print and electronic media about project activities, services/facilities available to the farmers under the proposed scheme, and impacts/benefits of the interventions. It is planned to accelerate this activity for mass awareness focusing on local newspapers and agricultural magazines. A short documentary on successful cultivation of gram with sprinkler system may be prepared through Directorate of Agricultural Information for effective dissemination of knowledge among various stakeholders.
It is also planned to carryout capacity building of farmers for successful cultivation of pulses with sprinkler irrigation system. Training courses and field days will be organized by the Water Management Training Institute, Lahore. -11- B. Installation of Sprinkler Irrigation System
The sprinkler system is the overhead irrigation whereby water is sprayed on the soil/crop somewhat like rain. A typical sprinkling unit comprises of an electric or diesel pumping unit, a portable or buried main pipeline with hydrants at predetermined intervals, and one or more sprinklers attached to hydrants or hose. Sprinkler systems are classified into various types on the basis of their spray pattern and mobility/portability. a) Raingun
Raingun systems use large volume sprinklers operating at relatively high pressures (3-6 bars), mounted on a riser stand or towed through the field. In permanent system of installation, raingun riser stands are permanently fitted to solid pipeline network. The off-take points are either below the ground or elevated above the ground level fixed in masonry/concrete. In semi-permanent system, pipeline network is usually permanent and rain gun riser stand or only raingun is shifted from one location to the other. The pros and cons of raingun is given in Table-3 below. Rain gun sprinkler head and a raingun operating in the field are shown in Figure-5, respectively. Table-3: Pros and Cons of Raingun Pros Cons • Easier operation • Requires relatively high pressure • Relatively cheaper than other sprinkler • Susceptible to thefts of hydrants systems • Low efficiency/ less irrigation uniformity in • May be used for undulating fields high wind velocity areas • Easy handling • Low maintenance
Figure-5: Typical Raingun
-12- b) Portable/ Semi- Portable Sprinkler System
Movable/ Portable system may have portable main lines, sub-mains and a portable pumping unit. It is designed to be moved from one field to other field or to different locations in the same field. Semi-movable system is similar to movable except the water source, pumping unit and/or mainline are fixed. It is indicated that such system installed on about 5 acres may serve about 15 acres of adjacent/ adjoining areas. The pros and cons of portable/ semi- portable sprinkler system is given in Table-4 below. Table-4: Pros and Cons of portable/ semi- portable sprinkler system Pros Cons • More farmer friendly due to simple operation • Relatively more labour intensive • More efficient compared to raingun • More wear and tear due to portability • Less maintenance • Low power requirement • Less operational expenses • Light weight compared to raingun • Suitable for undulated sites • No risk of system chocking
Figure-6: Portable/ Semi- Portable Sprinkler System c) Hose Reel System
The hose reel sprinkler system uses a flexible hose for supply of water to the gun. A winch cable anchored at the end of the field pulls the cart through the field. These systems have their own power unit and cable mounted directly on the machine (Figure-7). The power unit may be an internal combustion engine or a water drive. This system requires more labor and higher operating pressures than center pivots and linear moves. -13-
Figure-7: Hose Pull Reel Carriage System
Table-5: Pros and Cons of Hose Reel System Pros Cons • Less maintenance cost • Costlier than other sprinkler systems • Easy operation • Require special track for movement of hose pipe and gun • Provide flexibility of operation • Dedicated tractor is required for • Relatively cheaper in case of larger farms movement of hose reel • Less wear and tear d) Center Pivot System
Central pivot sprinkler is a form of overhead irrigation consisting of self-propelled sprinklers rotating continuously around the pivot (center) point mounted on a trussed beam. It is a continuous move system comprising of a single lateral with a set of sprinklers mounted on a drive unit and suspended by trusses. The water is supplied from the source (a pump, a reservoir or a ditch) to the lateral through the pivot. The water application rate is controlled by the speed of rotation. The schematic and field operated center pivot system is shown in Figure-8.
Center pivots are electric or engine drive systems, which can operate on soils with upto 15 percent slope. These systems are generally not recommended for heavy soils with low infiltration rates. Electricity driven pivots are the most popular devices due to flexibility of their operation. Computerized control panels allow speed change at any place in the field, reverse the pivot, turn on auxiliary pumps at a specified time and use many other features. Center pivots are usually less than 500 meter in length (circle radius). The system is designed to provide a variable emitter flow rate across the radius for achieving uniform irrigation application.
-14-
Figure-8: Center Pivot System
The installation of portable micro-sprinklers and semi-portable sprinkler systems seems most feasible options and would, accordingly, be focused under the project. However, other types of sprinkler systems described above may also be pilot tested for promotion of gram cultivation in Thal area with life-saving irrigation of gram during the project implementation depending upon site-specific requirements. It is indicated that the facility of solar system may also be made available from the on-going ADP scheme, if required at any site based on site specific technical feasibility.
B-1 Selection Criteria for Installation of Sprinkler Irrigation System
The farmers will be invited to apply for availing subsidy for installation of sprinkler irrigation system based on the site specific requirements during first year of project implementation on five (5) acres.

The sequence of implementation activities for installation of HEIS is given as under: i. The district/ tehsil OFWM staff will mobilize the farmers for adoption of Sprinkler Irrigation System for cultivation of gram and pulses. Interested farmers may submit application for the installation of Sprinkler Irrigation on his/her land during any time of the year to the Assistant Director Agriculture (OFWM)/ Deputy Director Agriculture (OFWM) or Director Agriculture (OFWM) concerned. ii. The applications will be scrutinized against approved criteria by the DDA (OFWM)/ ADA (OFWM) concerned. The eligible applicants will be advised to approach the pre-qualified SSC of their own choice for survey, design, and cost estimation of the selected system. In case of more demand than the district/ tehsil quota/target, balloting process will be conducted at the district level by the following committee a) Director Agriculture (OFWM) Chairman b) DDA (OFWM) concerned Member c) DDA (Agriculture Extension) concerned Member d) Representative of DGA (WM) Member iii. The Director General Agriculture (WM) will nominate Officers (preferably Engineers), one for each district, who will review design prepared by the SSC, approve the design, verify the material at site and verify the system commissioning, recommend payments etc. and perform other duties as assigned. The performa (s) being developed under the PIPIP will be used for the purpose. iv. The selected SSC will survey the site and prepare design and bill of quantity (BOQ) for installation of sprinkler system for gram/ pulses cultivation and submit the same to the nominated Officer for the purpose, who will review the design and approve the same. The -16- farmer, after approval of design and cost estimates, will be advised by the concerned ADA (OFWM)/ DDA (OFWM) to deposit his/her entire share in the form of pay order/bank draft drawn in favor of selected SSC or evidence of in kind contribution by the farmer, which will be transmitted to concerned DGA (OFWM) for issuance of work order. v. Farmer may be given option to contribute “In Kind Material” towards his share by providing material as per approved standards and specification. In this case, farmer will purchase new material according to standards and specifications and will get the same verified by the nominated Officer. On certification by the nominated Officer that “in kind” material delivered at site meets the project standards and specifications; and, deposition of remaining farmer’s share, if required, the work order shall be issued. vi. After receipt of in kind/ cash farmer share, DGA (OFWM) will issue the work order and advise the concerned SSC to supply the sprinkler irrigation system equipment/material at site, which will be verified by the nominated Officer for quality and quantity vis-à-vis approved standards/specifications. vii. On receipt of satisfactory report from the nominated Officer, DGA (OFWM) will make 50 percent payment of total cost including farmer’s share to SSC by releasing farmers’ demand draft and remaining from project funds, alongwith advice to install the system. In case, 100% material is not shifted at site, the nominated Officer will recommend 50% of the verified cost of material, provided that the verified material cost is not less than 80% of total material cost. After material verification, the concerned SSC shall complete installation of system at site. viii. On completion of installation, the SSC will report to concerned DDA (OFWM) for commissioning verification of installed system. The nominated Officer will verify sprinkler irrigation system installation as per design while concerned farmer will provide his satisfaction. The ADA (OFWM)/ DDA (OFWM) shall ensure that irrigation and fertigation schedules, log book and O&M manual in local language/Urdu have been provided to farmer; and, training regarding system operation and maintenance imparted to the farmer/ operator in coordination with concerned DDA (OFWM) by the SSC. ix.

DGA (WM) will pay remaining cost after retaining 10 percent of total system cost, which will be released after two years on provision of satisfactory follow up support services by the SSCs during two years, which will be verified by the concerned nominated Officer or any other designated committee for the purpose. xi. All envisaged works will be executed under a tripartite agreement signed by Department, SSC, and the participating farmer, which will be prepared by the concerned DDA (OFWM) following the template being used under the PIPIP xii. The SSC/ district/ tehsil OFWM staff will provide technical support to the farmers for the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of installed system. xiii. Arid Zone Research, Institute, Bhakkar will provide agronomic support regarding cropping geometry, fertigation, weed management, disease/pest control etc. for gram cultivation under sprinkler irrigation system. xiv. In case of any dispute, the matter will be referred to Dispute Resolution Committee comprising of following officers, whose decision will be final and would be binding on all stakeholders.
-17- a) Director Agriculture (OFWM) concerned Chairman b) Deputy Director Agriculture (OFWM) concerned Member c) Representative of concerned SSC Member The joint head unit facility may also be provided by the competent authority to the farmers as per site specific requirements on recommendation of DA (OFWM)/ DDA (OFWM). In case of farmers willing to cultivate the gram/pulses with sprinkler system but lacking any water source available, the Field Wing of the Agriculture Department may be asked to provide support to such farmers for water source development as per government policy.
C. Research and Development Activities
Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI), Bhakkar was established in 1991 for the uplift of agriculture in arid zone Districts of Bhakkar, Mianwali, Khushab, Layyah and Muzaffargarh. AZRI focuses on the development of high yielding, good quality and stress tolerant varieties of chickpea/ gram, mungbean and wheat crops. The main objectives of the AZRI, Bhakkar includes Genetic improvement of crop varieties, development of production technology, control of diseases and insect/pests, introduction of new plant types and farmer’s advisory services. The research and development activities under this project would be carried out by the AZRI, Bhakkar regarding planting time adjustment, weed management and fertilizer trials. It is planned that sprinkler irrigation system would be installed on five (5) acres at AZRI, Bhakhar from the project, whose total cost will be borne by the project. The recommended quality seed would be used for research trials at research sites, which would be provided by the project. The main activities to be carried out by the AZRI, Bhakkar includes Provision of recommendation for agronomic aspects of gram cultivation Planting time trials Weed management trials NPK trials
The sites for research trials would be selected by the AZRI, Bhakhar based on the following criteria Progressive/ innovative grower Willing to extend support to the project staff for carrying out research trials on his field Agreed to cultivate the gram crop as per recommendations by AZRI, Bhakhar D. Cost Sharing Arrangement
The farmers in Thal i.e. Bhakhar, Layyah, Khushab etc. are poorer and require more incentive/ agricultural support services to adopt modern capital intensive technologies like sprinkler irrigation systems due to their poor economic conditions and insufficient knowledge/experience in irrigated agriculture. It is, therefore, proposed to adopt a more farmer friendly cost sharing mechanism in order to encourage them to start cultivation of gram with sprinkler irrigation systems, which would result in greater demonstration effect for up-scaling the -18- new intervention in Thal region. The average unit cost of sprinkler irrigation system including its installation is about Rs. 200,000 per acre and the farmer will be provided financial assistance equivalent to 75% of total system cost while remaining 25% will be contributed by the beneficiary farmer.

The annual physical and financial targets of the project will be approved by the Project Steering Committee (PSC) at the start of each financial year. Special Drawing Account (SDA) will be opened in the name of Director General Agriculture (Water Management) Punjab after authorization of the Finance Department and fulfilling prescribed codal formalities. The allocated funds will be transferred into SDA by Finance Department for its further utilization. The DGA (WM) would be allowed to maintain and operate the said account for channeling the funds released into the SDA for payment to the supply and service companies as well as project allowance to the staff. The operational expenses (TA, POL, project allowance etc.) of project districts will be transferred to their respective Cost Centres/ DDO Codes. The funds for research & development and other activities would be transferred to Cost Centres/ DDO Codes of Director AZRI, Bhakhar through Finance Department. The PSC is authorized to make necessary adjustments in financial and implementation modalities, if needed by keeping the overall scope and cost of the project intact.
11) PROJECT BENEFIT AND ANALYSIS
a) Financial Benefits
The project will have both tangible and intangible benefits but there will be no direct income from the scheme to the government. The implementation of the project activities would -21- help farmers of the poorer districts to increase gram/ pulses yields and production that would result in net additional benefits to the gram/ pulses growers. The execution of proposed project will motivated farmers to grow grams/ pulses for substantial increase in farm incomes.
The installation of sprinkler system for application of supplementary irrigation to ensure moisture at critical stages of gram may enhance its yield from 8-10 maunds per acre (valuing Rs. 30,000-40,000) in comparison to current average yield of 2.5 maunds per acre (valuing Rs. 10,000) through traditional barani agriculture. Moreover, about 8-10 maunds per acre production would also be obtained from cultivation of Kharif crop (Moong, Mash etc.), which would also fetch Rs. 30,000-40,000. As such, the farmer would earn over Rs.60,000-80,000 per acre against current earning of not more than Rs. 10,000-20,000 per acre.
The proposed project interventions aim at pilot testing of sprinkler irrigation technologies for successful cultivation of pulses in the Thal desert and subsequently recommending a profitable and cost effective plan for sustainable cultivation of gram in these areas through life saving irrigations at critical growth stages with the sprinkler system. It would contribute in enhancing gram productivity, improving livelihood of people, enabling farmers to adjust the agriculture practices with varying environments, alleviating poverty and ultimately contribute in provincial economy in the long run on upscaling the technology in the entire gram cultivated area. It would also result in reduction of import of gram for domestic use and export of gram as well. b) Economic Analysis/ Financial Analysis
The proposed project interventions would have a positive impact on gram/ pulses production and are technically viable and economically feasible with following economic returns.
i) IRR = 29% ii) BCR = 2.0 The project interventions will support efficient, productive and sustainable gram/ pulses management system. The cost benefit analysis for project interventions is enclosed (Annexure-G). c) Social Benefits The project interventions would also have positive impact on social lives of the rural people in the project areas. It will promote the irrigated agriculture in the region and help strengthen farmers capabilities to minimize climate change impacts on gram/ pulses by providing life saving irrigation with the sprinkler irrigation system. d) Environmental Impact/ Benefits
The project interventions would not have any adverse environmental effects normally -22- associated with new developments. The envisaged interventions are environment friendly and climate resilient and would result in development of the irrigated areas. The proposed interventions would result in optimal use of land and water resources and would result in minimizing climate change impacts. e) Employment Generation
Implementation of the project would provide enhanced employment opportunities, particularly to the rural population in project areas. It is estimated that about 200 persons would be engaged as Operators and Helpers in operation of sprinkler irrigation systems. The installation of sprinkler irrigation systems on 1,680 acres would create job opportunities in the private sector. An amount of about Rs. 84.000 million would be contributed by farmers for installation of sprinkler irrigation systems as cost sharing for the equipment under the scheme. It is, therefore, concluded that project implementation would stimulate employment generation not only for skilled and unskilled labor in the project areas but also help in opening of new earning opportunities in one of the least developed region of the Punjab. f) Logical Framework Analysis
The logical framework analysis/ result based monitoring indicators have been prepared including the inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impact of the interventions. The same is attached as Annexure-H. f) Impact of Delays on Project Cost/Viability In view of no major incremental water resources development in near future and rising demands for food and fiber under the changing climate, the use of modern irrigation technologies has become inevitable. The proposed project interventions can play a great role in promotion of irrigated agriculture in areas like Thal. Any delay in implementation of proposed interventions may result in significant losses besides increase in project costs due to price escalation of materials.
