Socio-Economic conditions
Soil and Land Use
Agriculture: crops, yields, horticulture etc
Production/farming systems
Livestock and Fisheries
Forests and Grass land, ago-forestry
Livelihood Status/pattern, sources, dependance
Hydrology and Water Resources
Resource conservation and water use
(May be collected from secondary sources, PRA
exercise and if required by supplementing primary
sources on sample basis)
Baseline survey
Act as a bench mark of the
Project for future evaluation
and impact analysis.

Collection of socio-economic
details with Household survey.
Bio-physical survey to collect
details of natural resources
Household Census
Baseline Survey
Bio-physical Survey
 Geo-referenced data collection of particular natural resources.
 Geo-referenced soil sample collection from representative area.
 Survey number wise collection of land details about land acreage,
ownership, crop cultivated(season), irrigation source and season

Institution Building and Project Management
• About PIA
• Indentify institutions along with their roles and responsibilities
• Social Mobilization and Community organization
• Formation of local level people Institutions WC, SHGs, UGS
• Coordination and monitoring of implementation process including
DPCs and other coordination mechanism.
• Implementation plan
• Convergence of watershed Programmes.
Identify and list Central/State sponsored schemes being
implemented for convergence with their fund allocation
Prepare a matrix of major components of on-going and new
schemes, which can be converged with watersheds.
Convergence mechanism at planning and implementation level
Problems to be addressed

Watershed Intervention
• Livestock
• Crops grown
•Conservation by NRM
•Increase sustainable productivity of the system
• Land & non land based income generating activities
•Formation of local institutions
Management / Action Plan
Prepare based on problems, needs, land suitability class,
priorities and technical feasibility in participatory process
• Entry point activities
• Ridge area treatment
• Land development: private, waste, degraded, common
• DLT measures
• Water harvesting structures
• Water, energy and resource conservation technologies
• Pasture development, sericulture, common land development
• Forests lands for fodder, fuel, water, etc.
• Horticulture development
• Livestock, dairying, fodder, fisheries development
• Veterinary services
• Livelihood interventions for landless, micro enterprises
• Production / Farming System , crop improvement
• Marketing Linkages
Entry Point Activity
• Urgent demand of the local community
• Should enrich the common natural resources
or production system, or common needs like
drinking water, etc.
• An instrument of confidence and rapport
building
Net Planning
•
Meeting with local community members
•
Understanding various schemes running in the project area for
convergence.
•
Detail Budgeting for each activity to be undertaken under IWMP.
•
Institute Building like Watershed committee, SHG, User Group
•
Group Discussion of activities with
-Watershed committee
-Farmers(Small, Marginal) & Agricultural labours
-Women group
-BPL,SC/ST Population

Detail of other activities
• Productivity enhancement of important
crops and farming systems
• Introducing improved technology
• Livelihood intervention strategy
• Demand driven, Business model of
Production System
• Capacity Building Plans
Focal points for livelihood intervention
• Poor productivity of cattle
• Migration due to lack of fodder
• Low productivity of land due to less use of organic content.
• Lack of use of Farmyard manure
• Lack of grading of farm product.
Livelihoods intervention

seed bank
Vermi- compost Unit
IGA eg lac, etc

model
Capacity Building Plan
• Develop Annual Action Plan for CB
Phase wise key programmes, activities and contents
Actors, required skills
Type, level and nos of CB Programmes
Core team
Budget
•Approval of Action Plan with annual phasing
•Consortium of Service Providers/Resource Organizations
•Developing resource materials, training manuals etc.
• Pool of resource persons
•Field level hand-holding support details
•Follow-up and monitoring
Capacity Building Plans
• NRM concept
• Soil and moisture conservation structure
• SHG formation and community mobilization.
• Improved and Scientific agriculture practices.
• Dairy development and Management.
• Rural handicraft.
• Exposure visits for production systems
Phasing of Programme and Budgeting
• Administrative cost
• Monitoring and Evaluation
• Physical and Financial - Targets & Out lays
• Year wise Plan/Activities for development of watersheds
• Year wise Financial requirements for developmental
activities
• Details of convergence with other schemes – Physical &
Financial
Consolidation / Exit strategy
Consolidation and completion of various works,
Building the capacity of the community based
organizations to carry out the new agenda items
during
post
project
period,
Sustainable
management of (developed) natural resources, upscaling of successful experience regarding farm
production systems/off-farm livelihoods.
Expected Outcome
 Some quantifiable indicators for outcomes of the
programme including those in PPR
• Productivity and production of crops, horticulture,
livestock, fodder, agro-forestry, fisheries products,
farming systems, land use and commodity diversification.
• Changes in water availability (surface storage and ground
water table), irrigated area, per capita income, creation of
livelihood opportunities, out migration, cropping intensity,
feed and fodder availability etc.
• Environmental impact: Change in soil loss enhancing the
perenniality of flow and reducing peak flows, recharge of
ground water enhancement of nutrients water quality.
• Employment generation: casual and regular
