DEPARTMENT OF LAND RESOURCES 22.07.2010 TWO-DAY WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING LOCAL SELF GOVERNANCE & ACCELERATING RURAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF LAND RESOURCES 22.07.2010

Area Development Programmes DoLR has been implementing three programmes on watershed basis since 1995-96. Drought Prone Areas Programme Desert Development Programme Integrated Wastelands Development Programme These programmes have been integrated into a single modified programme called Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP) w.e.f. 26.02.2009.This consolidation is for optimum use of resources, sustainable outcomes and integrated planning.

OBJECTIVES OF IWMP   Harnessing, conserving and developing degraded natural resources such as soil, vegetative cover & water Restoring the ecological balance Prevention of soil run-off Regeneration of natural vegetation Rain water harvesting & recharging of ground water table Introduction of multi-cropping & diverse agro-based activities Promoting sustainable livelihoods

SALIENT FEATURES OF IWMP Cluster Approach: Average size of project -1,000 to 5,000 ha Scientific Planning: Use of GIS based data at State and District levels. Use of Remote Sensing inputs in detailed project planning and preparation of DPRs. Institutional Framework: Dedicated institutional structures with multi-disciplinary experts at the National, State, District & Project levels. Capacity Building: All stakeholders involved in dev. of watershed projects. Livelihood Orientation: 10% project funds for livelihoods for assetless people and13% for farm production & micro-enterprises. Monitoring & Evaluation: 2 % of the project funds earmarked. Mandatory evaluation after completion of every phase i.e. Preparatory, Works and Consolidation.

ROLE OF PRIs DPC approves perspective & annual action plans of watershed projects. It integrates these plans with over all District plans and also oversees its implementation. Similarly, Intermediate Panchayats have important role in planning watershed projects. They can also act as PIAs. Gram Sabha constitutes WC which implements project with the technical support of WDT. GP supervises, supports & advises WC, authenticates its accounts, facilitates convergence with other schemes. GP allocates usufruct rights to UGs/SHGs over assets created.

ACTIVITIES UNDER IWMP Soil & moisture conservation measures Water harvesting measures Planting of multi-purpose trees & shrubs and pasture land dev. Promotion of agro-forestry and horticulture Training, extension and awareness generation Encouraging peoples’ participation Livelihood activities for assetless people Production system and micro-enterprise
