Outstanding commitments on existing civil works Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR6770 contracts come to approximately Rs. 700 cr. This pipeline of contract commitments will ensure a continued increase in the disbursement rate of the Project in the coming year. Despite the increase in implementation pace, it is now clear that the accumulated delays in implementation since project effectiveness cannot be overcome within the existing Closing Date of the Project of March 31, 2013 and the Government of Tamil Nadu and DEA have formally requested an 18 month extension in the Closing Date to September 30, 2014. This request for is under consideration by Bank management. The the participating line departments are making continued good progress in the field. By and large, the agreed targets for interventions are on track, and the reported yield and performance increases are encouraging. Agreements were reached during the January 2012 mission concerning the program of training for strengthening the operation of the Water Users' Associations (WUAs) and Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). It was agreed that training for field engineers consistent with a comprehensive approach to water management at the local level should be initiated by April 15, 2012. Initiation of these trainings has been delayed. This situation needs to be addressed promptly by the Government to ensure that the project implementation plan moves forward as planned.
