Convergence of Gov. Schemes in IWMP
 Para 77 of the Common Guidelines for watershed
Development Project reveals
Coordination with Other Schemes/Projects
Eleventh Five year offers an opportunity to converge and harmonise
resources of different schemes and programmes specially those
under Bharat Nirman and other flagship schemes with watershed
development projects. Mandatory preparation of district level plans
will be in a position to enable convergence and synergies at the
grass-root level. The DPR may elaborate gaps to be filled or
watershed activates to be taken up of BRGF, MGNREGS, artificial
ground water recharging, renovation and repairs of tanks, water
bodies and any other available sources. Marketing and value addition
is also possible under the revised APMC act. Efforts should be made
to converge all relevant schemes at project level.
