Status Of Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) In India-Policy Initiatives Taken And Emerging Issues
Introduction
Since 1985 Ministry of Water Resources has been inspiring farmers’
participation in water distribution and management of tertiary system in the projects covered under the Centrally Sponsored Command Area Development Programme. The concept of involvement of farmers in management of the
irrigation system has been accepted as a policy of the Government of India and has been included in the National Water Policy adopted in 1987.
Provisions made in the In National Water Policy of 1987 were as under: “Efforts should be made to involve farmers progressively in various aspects
of management of irrigation systems, particularly in water distribution and collection of water rates. Assistance of voluntary agencies should be enlisted
in educating the farmers in efficient water-use and water management.”
In April 1987, the Ministry of Water Resources issued guidelines for
farmers’ participation in water management, primarily for areas under the Centrally Sponsored Command Area Development Programme. The
guidelines covered all aspects like past experience in India and abroad, objectives of PIM, area of operation of farmers’ associations in different
irrigation schemes, duties and responsibilities of the farmers, training and monitoring.
Recognising the need to provide legal backup to PIM in the country, Ministry of Water Resources commissioned an NGO, ‘Society for Peoples’
Participation in Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM)’, Pune to suggest suitable amendments in the existing irrigation acts which could be recommended to States for incorporation in their State Irrigation Acts.
‘SOPPECOM’ has been in the forefront of work relating to PIM and has successfully pioneered many action research programmes on formation of
WUAs. The suggestions of ‘SOPPECOM’ were circulated to States during June 1998.
Conferences at National, State and Project levels have been organized for creating awareness on Participatory Irrigation Management amongst
farmers and officials.
Ministry of Water Resources has been organising National level training
programmes on PIM in various parts of the country for CAD functionaries. In addition, matching grant is also being provided to States for organizing State
and project level training programmes for farmers and field functionaries.
Objectives of PIM
i. To create a sense of ownership of water resources and the irrigation system among the users, so as to promote economy in water use and
preservation of the system. ii. To improve service deliveries through better operation and
maintenance. iii. To achieve optimum utilization of available resources through
sophisticated deliveries, precisely as per crop needs.
iv. To achieve equity in water distribution. v. To increase production per unit of water, where water is scarce and to
increase production per unit of land where water is adequate. vi. To make best use of natural precipitation and ground water in
conjunction with flow irrigation for increasing irrigation and cropping
intensity. vii. To facilitate the users to have a choice of crops, cropping sequence,
timing of water supply, period of supply and also frequency of supply, depending on soils, climate and other infrastructure facilities available in the commands such as roads, markets cold storages, etc., so as to
maximize the incomes and returns. viii. To encourage collective and community responsibility on the farmers
to collect water charges and payment to Irrigation Agency. ix. To create healthy atmosphere between the Irrigation Agency personnel
and the users.
Necessity of PIM
The old dictum is that necessity is the mother of invention. This may be judged in respect of PIM also with the following considerations:
a) Need of increase in agricultural production: The human as well as bovine population has been increasing all over the world and more so in
India. As such the need of food, fiber, fuel, fodder etc. has also been increasing with fast rate. It is, hence, imperative to increase the agricultural
production to keep pace with the requirement. Irrigation being lifeline of agriculture, its development and meticulous management is the necessity of the day. All over the world and so in India, it is known that easy locations to
tap surface water have almost exhausted. Increasing the existing reservoirs capacity and taking up of new projects is causing serious financial and social
problems. So far as ground water development is concerned, it has its own limitations and the most important being over exploitation of this resource at many places particularly in many parts of India. Moreover financing is
another constraint. Hence proper management of already created water resources development structures is extremely essential at this juncture, in
order to strike the balance between need and the agricultural production. Since farmers are the real stakeholders, they have to come forward through their associations to look after their interest so that they get water from the
system according to the predetermined time and space for planning their crops.
b) Problem of fiscal availability: There is severe budgetary competition at the government level under different sectors. The ratio of financial outlay for
the irrigation sector to the total outlay is coming down year after year. Moreover there are many uncompleted irrigation projects, where work is
going on and there is demand of meeting the regional balance to provide irrigation facility almost all over. Under such circumstances, investment of more money by the Government on operation and maintenance of the old
system appears difficult. Thus, farmers have to take up this responsibility themselves in order to avoid over burdening of the Government exchequer
and to become self-dependent. c) O&M cost and recovery of irrigation charges: This aspect has already
been discussed elsewhere which indicates that O&M cost is much higher than the recoverable irrigation charges as per present rate. Even these low rates
are not being recovered in full. Often the cost of recovery of water charges by Government is more than the amount recovered. This is causing severe budget constraints to Government and consequently O&M could not be
properly carried out resulting in system deficiency and unreliability of irrigation water to farmers. The Water Users’ Associations could play this
role in a better way.
d) Other compulsions: Besides above aspects, there are other compulsions like non availability of water when it is needed, taking immediate problems like leakages, adopting flexibility in water distribution
and taking many more initiatives by farmers’ group to make their farm economy a sustainable proposition, PIM appears extremely necessary and
worthwhile. Provision in National Water Policy (2002)
Following modifications were made in the National Water Policy (2002)
regarding the participatory approach to water resources management: “Management of the water resources for diverse uses should incorporate a
participatory approach: by involving not only the various governmental agencies but also the users’ and other stakeholders, in an effective and
decisive manner, in various aspects of planning, design, development and management of the water resources schemes. Necessary legal and institutional changes should be made at various levels for the purpose, duly
ensuring appropriate role for women. Water Users’ Association and local bodies such as municipalities and Gram-Panchayats should particularly be
involved in the operation, maintenance and management of water infrastructures/facilities at appropriate levels progressively, with a view to eventually transfer the management of such facilities to the user groups/
local bodies”
Provisions in PIM Acts
Recognising the need for sound legal framework for PIM in the country, the Ministry brought out a model act to be adopted by the State Legislatures
for enacting new irrigation acts/amending the existing irrigation acts for facilitating PIM. In accordance with the model act eight State Governments, namely, Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have enacted new acts. The legal framework provides for creation of farmers organisations at different levels of
irrigation system as under:
a. Water Users’ Association (WUA): will have a delineated command area on a hydraulic basis, which shall be administratively viable. Generally a WUA
would cover a group of outlets or a minor. b. Distributary Committee: will comprise of 5 or more WUAs. All the
presidents of WUAs will comprise general body of the distributary committee.
c. Project Committee: will be an apex committee of an irrigation system
and presidents of the Distributary committees in the project area shall constitute general body of this committee.
The Associations at different levels are expected to be actively involved
in: (i) maintenance of irrigation system in their area of operation; (ii)
distribution of irrigation water to the beneficiary farmers as per the warabandi schedule; (iii) assisting the irrigation department in the
preparation of water demand and collection of water charges; (iv) resolve disputes among the members and WUA; (v) monitoring flow of water in the
irrigation system etc.
The functions of Water Users’ Associations, Distributary Committees
and Project Committees are given in detail in the Annexure-1.
Status of Enactment of Legislation for PIM
As a result of various conferences/ seminars organised by the Ministry,
there has been an increased consciousness in States about the need for actively involving farmers in management of irrigation system. Accordingly
States of Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have enacted exclusive legislation for involvement of farmers in irrigation management. Government of Bihar has
issued a notification “The Bihar Irrigation, Flood Management and Drainage Rules, 2003”, in exercise of the powers conferred by The Bihar Irrigation Act,
1997. Details of the Acts/Rules are given in Table 1.

September 1999.
5. Orissa Enacted “The Orissa Pani Panchayat Act, 2002”.
6. Rajasthan Passed the “Rajasthan Sinchai Pranali Ke Prabandh Me

8. Kerala Enacted “The Kerala Irrigation and Water Conservation
Act 2003”.
9. Bihar “The Bihar Irrigation, Flood Management and Drainage
Rules, 2003” under the Bihar irrigation Act, 1997
Though no other State had enacted exclusive legislation for PIM, some
States like Maharashtra and Gujarat had experimented with the idea of farmers’ co-operative movement in irrigation management. The State of
Maharashtra, through the experience from certain pilot Water Users Co-operative Societies (WUCS) established by the government and the action research projects carried out, issued guidelines on PIM during 1992. The
State has further issued a Government Resolution in July 2001, making mandatory to form WUCS on distributaries and minors of fully developed
irrigation systems. According to this resolution canal water will be supplied only to those farmers who are members of WUCS. The State of Gujarat had also a PIM Resolution during the year 1995 based on experiences from its
pilot projects. The State-wise details of WUAs formed are given in the Table 2.

Constraints in Implementation of PIM (Issues)
There may be a necessity and practicability in adoption of PIM yet
there are a number of constraints in making the PIM sustainable in the long run. Some of these are:
a) Lack of legal back up and policy changes: In many States, there is no or very little legal back up and clear-cut policy decision at the Government level
to take up PIM, which is a big impediment in implementation of PIM. For the actual irrigation management transfer and operation of PIM in an irrigation
project, policy changes and legal back up are essential. This is important for distributing required quantity of water at minor / distributary take off points, taking up correction of system deficiency, claim to get the maintenance funds
proportionate to its portion transferred to associations, collection of water charges and retaining some portion of it for WUAs functioning, fixation of
water rates, incentives to farmers, resolution of conflicts etc. Clarity on legislation is also required in certain States.
b) System deficiency: In older projects, there are many problems like deterioration of old control and measuring structures, leakages and seepage
at various places, erosion of banks and beds, siltation and weed infestation.
These are serious problems, hindering farmers to take over the system management on technical and financial considerations.
c) Uncertainty of water availability: This is another important aspect, as
farmers will understandably be reluctant to take on the responsibility for managing the system unless deliveries of water are made reliable, flexible, practical and responsive to need. The engineers on their part may not be
confident about ensuring supply of the requisite quantity of water to the WUAs, as would be obligatory in terms of the MOU signed between Irrigation
Agency and WUA.
Further, the farmers who have their holdings at the head of the canal
tend to appropriate more water than required, whereas the farmers at the tail end often fail to get their apportioned share of water. Head-enders,
therefore, have vested interest in continuing the existing arrangements. The tail-enders may not be keen to form WUAs as water supply in such areas remains inadequate and erratic and they remain apprehensive that the
situation will not be materially altered if an association is formed. These differences in perceptions and conflicts of interests inhibit the coming
together of head end and tail end farmers.
d) Fear of financial viability: Maintenance and operation of the system demands huge finances. Farmers have got the apprehension that in absence of surety of finance, it would be difficult for them to fulfill the requirement of
funds for operation and maintenance. They feel that when Government is not able to handle the system with huge money available with them, how
farmers would be able to do justice? e) Lack of technical knowledge: Apart from the financial uncertainty, lack of
technical input is one of the inhibiting factors to take over the system. When Government, having such qualified and senior Engineers, finds it difficult to
manage the system, how untrained and uneducated farmers would be able to take up such a highly technical operation and maintenance work of big irrigation systems.
f) Lack of leadership: On account of limited exposure of the farmers to the
rest of the world and PIM in particular, potent leadership is lacking, rather on account of limiting knowledge. At times so called local leaders give the negative or unclear version before other farmers which further create
misunderstanding among the farmers bringing them sometimes into a fix.
g) Lack of publicity and training: Seeing is believing; and knowledge brings confidence in people. This aspect is lacking and there is a constraint to adoption of PIM.
h) Demographic diversity: Due to variation in economic, ethnic, education
levels etc. diversity of farmers, PIM is taking much time in this country. To handle this aspect deep study, analysis and solution need be found out.
i) Mega irrigation projects: World scenario gives an indication that there are
smaller projects in the countries of the world, where irrigation project transfer has taken care for PIM. In India, there are huge projects having
very large distribution system and culturable command area sometimes more than 20 lakh hectares. Larger the project, complex would be its maintenance, operation and management aspects and so the formation and
functioning of farmers associations for different necessary activities.
j) WUAs v/s Panchayats: In many of the areas, where WUAs have been formed, there is a clash of interest among Panchayats and WUAs on who is to own the system, particularly when watershed schemes are being handed
over to the Panchayats.
Future Prospects of PIM
It has now been realised that without active participation of beneficiaries, the irrigation systems cannot be managed efficiently. The
experience shows that wherever farmers have been actively engaged, the overall management of irrigation system and the water use efficiency have
significantly improved. The legal framework, which has been established in various States, will ensure systematic involvement of beneficiaries in the
management of irrigation system at various levels. There has to be however, a provision for adequate financial support to these organizations to carry out their responsibilities. The PIM acts of various States do have provisions for
the financial management of these associations. For example acts of Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh States mention that the funds of the farmers’
organizations shall comprise of the following:
i) grants and commission received from the State Government as
a share of the water tax collected in the area of operation of the farmers’ organization;
ii) such other funds as may be granted by the state government and Central Government for the development of the area of operation;
iii) resources raised from any financing agency for undertaking any economic development activities in its area of operation;
iv) income from the properties and assets attached to the irrigation system;
v) fees collected by the farmers’ organization for the services
rendered in better management of the irrigation system; and vi) amounts received from any other sources.
Rationalisation of Water Rates
In several states the water rates have not been revised for a long time. Consequently the revenue collection is too meager to maintain the
irrigation system. The Vaidyanathan Committee (1991) of the Planning
Commission on pricing of irrigation water mentioned that on an average the revenue collection was Rs. 50 per ha as against the O&M requirement of Rs.
250 per ha. Thus, there is a dire need for rationalization of water rates so as to meet the expenditure on account of O&M of the system.
Women’s Role in PIM
Considering the importance of women in terms of their numerical strength and the significant contribution they make to the agriculture labour
force, it is realized that they should play an important role in the WUAs. However, as the poor status profile and various other factors inhibit their participation, compulsory regulatory means are considered necessary to
bring in the desired gender empowerment.
Recognising the scale at which PIM programme is to be implemented in the country, Government of India has given special emphasis on involving women in the process. In pursuance to the provisions in National Water
Policy 1987 (and also 2002) on efforts to be made to involve farmers progressively in various aspects of management of irrigation systems,
particularly in water distribution and collection of water rates, Ministry of Water Resources, while issuing guidelines in April, 1987, specifically
emphasized the States to consider representation of women in the WUAs at all levels. Some of the State Governments have taken some initiative as under:
“Madhya Pradesh Sinchai Prabandhan Me Krishkon Ki Bhagidari
Adhiniyam, 1999” enacted in September, 1999 ensures all farmers owners, be it men or women to be a rightful member of the outlet committee.
While “Andhra Pradesh Farmers’ Management of Irrigation Systems Act” of March, 1997 has not made any specific provisions for the women to
be represented in the Managing Committees of WUAs, it is encouraging to note that quite a few women members have been elected as Presidents and Managing committee members. Similar is the story in other states.
Despite the awareness in the matter, the marginal representation of women is not adequate in view of the magnitude of the problem.
Importance of PIM under Restructured CADWM Programme
Under Restructured Command Area Development & Water Management Programme more emphasis is being given to participatory
approach. Under this programme, payment of central assistance to States is linked with the formation of Water Users Associations. Apart from this, farmers will have to contribute a minimum of 10% cost of the works in form
of cash / labour in three components namely, construction of field channels, reclamation of water logged areas, and desilting and renovation of MI tanks.
Under the previous CAD Programme, a management subsidy at the rate of Rs. 275 per ha, to be paid in three years, had been insisted upon
initially to encourage the formation and functioning of Farmers’ Associations. It was increased to Rs. 500 per ha as one time functional grant to be shared
by Centre, State and farmers at the rate of Rs 225:225:50 respectively. For projects included under the restructured programme, this grant is being further enhanced to Rs. 600/- per ha. at the rate of 270:270:60 to be shared
by Centre, State and farmers respectively. States have to bear similar costs for non – CADA projects.
Apart from normal training programme for field functionaries and farmers, action research for PIM is now proposed to be entrusted to the WALMIs and other State/Central Institutions. It is to ensure that farmers will
be encouraged to form Water Users’ Associations and take over the on-farm development works, equitable distribution of water, crop management,
issues on revenue collection, to maintain data and financial records. They will also be trained regarding maintenance aspects of the OFD works. Centre will bear 75% of cost of these software items.
PIM as A Thrust Area/Priority Item
With effect from August 2003 Participatory Irrigation Management
(PIM) has been identified as one of the thrust areas for the country as a whole and its progress is being monitored by the Prime Minister’s Office.
1 Issues for Policy Initiatives
a. All states to be emphasized upon the need to enact PIM acts in a
definite time frame
b. Strengthening of financial resources of Farmers’ Associations to make them viable – Revenue sharing arrangement to be considered
c. Rationalization of water charges d. Empowering women for a greater role in Irrigation Management.
2 Action Taken for Implementing PIM
Secretary (WR) has written to the Chief Secretaries of States, which
have not yet enacted relevant act to facilitate participation of stakeholders in
Irrigation Management, asking them to implement the same. An indicative Roadmap as under has also been suggested for promotion of PIM to take a
time bound action in the matter. Indicative Roadmap:
1) Draft legislation on PIM and its approval by the State Legislature at
the earliest, preferably in the next Session of the State Assembly.
2) Based on the PIM Act, prepare necessary Rules and Regulations within two months of the notification of the Act.
3) Organise Statewide orientation/awareness generation camps for functionaries of Irrigation/CAD Departments and farmers.
4) Formation of Water Users’ Associations and entrust them the role and the responsibilities assigned under the Act.
5) Fix a target of covering at least 25% of the area of the major and
medium irrigation projects under PIM during the X Plan. 6) Formation of an appropriate committee at the State level that will
monitor the progress under PIM and interact with the Central Government.
Copies of the Model Act on PIM and also the PIM Acts of a few States were sent to the States/UTs for reference and guidance.
Milestones:
State Governments are being persuaded since 1985 to promote Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). In order to facilitate the States in
formulation of the roadmap for promotion, enactment and implementation of PIM the following action points and milestones need be considered during
2003-04. Depending upon the status of the progress of implementation of the PIM in the States the action points may be suitably modified.
1. To constitute a Committee within the State to study the provisions
of Model Act, PIM Acts of other States, Existing Irrigation Acts of
States, Irrigation Water Cost Recovery Structure, and other Regulations of the States. The Committee was to be constituted by
the middle of December 2003. 2. Preparation of Draft PIM Act (if not already done) by the State. In
this regard the State may obtain help from WALMIs, NGOs or other State/Central organisations followed by the process of approval.
This was to be done by January 2004.
3. Awareness and motivation of the farmers in PIM activities. WALMIs
can play major role in this activity. This activity of imparting awareness and motivating the farmers could be done
simultaneously along with the other activities of implementation of PIM.
4. Preparation of draft rules and regulations in connection with identification of jurisdiction, formation, election, role and
responsibility of WUAs and Irrigation departments/CADAs (if not already done).
5. The process of identification and notification of jurisdiction of each WUA, Minor / Distributary Committee for each Major, Medium and
Minor Projects. This should be immediately followed by holding of elections of WUAs.
6. Necessary steps may be taken to repair the irrigation systems to be
transferred to the farmers. In case of CAD projects, such steps are to be taken within the framework of Restructured CADWM Programme.
7. Signing of MoUs between the State Govt. and the WUAs for transfer
of responsibility and the irrigation system. This could be done immediately after the necessary completion of repairs and the formation of WUAs.
8. Formation of an appropriate committee at the State level that will
monitor the progress under PIM and interact with the Central Government
9. Monitoring and evaluation of the functioning of the system by the state Govt. for at least three years after handing over the system
to the WUAs.
The Secretary (WR) has also written to the Chief Secretaries of States, which have enacted relevant Acts to facilitate participation of stakeholders in Irrigation Management, asking them to formulate a
roadmap for furthering the implementation of PIM in their States in a time bound manner and keep the Ministry informed of the progress of the
same. It was also requested to furnish the latest information on the status of implementation of PIM / formation of Water Users’ Associations in their States.
Status of Implementation of PIM
Some States have responded to the initiative taken by the MoWR in implementing the Priority / Thrust Area item of the Participatory Irrigation
Management (PIM).
Response of the States:
So far, seventeen States and three U.T.s have responded to the initiative
taken by the MoWR in implementing the Priority / Thrust Area item of the Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). They are: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,
Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Haryana, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, U.T. of Lakshadweep, Chandigarh, Chattisgarh, Orissa, U.T. of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Tamil Nadu, Nagaland, Uttaranchal, Assam and
Meghalaya.
The PIM Act in Andhra Pradesh was enacted in 1997 and was amended in April 2003. WUAs have been delineated and elections to the WUAs in 13
districts have been completed during October 2003. Arrangements for conducting elections in the remaining 9 districts are under progress.
Gujarat Government has prepared a draft Act and circulated to all the
concerned departments in October 2003 for comments. After receiving the
comments, they would work out the details and submit to the Legislature for passing an appropriate Act.
Government of Maharashtra has initiated the formation of WUAs in the
year 1990. In March 2003 they have approved draft legislation on PIM and
the draft bill is under finalisation to submit the same to the Legislature.
Government of Haryana has formed a committee for framing a PIM Act along the lines as enacted by other States and the Model Act of MoWR. However, guidelines for formation of WUAs were issued in the year 2000 and
more than 2800 WUAs have already been formed.
Government of Chhattisgarh under the “Madhya Pradesh Sinchai Prabandhan Me Krishkon Ki Bhagidari Adhiniyam, 1999”, formed a total of
945 Water Users’ Associations in year 2000. They would be working till June 2005. WUAs are given due rights, and rules were also framed under the Act.
Orissa has enacted “The Orissa Pani Panchayat Act 2002 & Rules 2003”. Pani Panchayat programme was launched in the State in September 2000
with a view to cover an ayacut of 17.71 lakh hectares up to the end of 2005 in major, medium, minor and lift irrigation projects.
Reminders have been sent to the States, except those responded, to initiate early action in the matter and keep the MoWR informed of the
progress. State-wise status of implementation of PIM in the States that have
responded to the MoWR’s initiative and also status in some States that have not yet responded is given in Annexure-2.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Regular monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the WUAs is necessary for development of the PIM programme in the country. The
success and failure of the WUAs at one place could provide useful lessons and enable taking up of corrective steps I formation and sustainability of WUAs at other places. The performance has to be justified against the
objectives laid down and the financial viability.
States have to constitute a State level committee for monitoring of the implementation of the PIM programme. WALMIs can play an important role in
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the PIM programme. Recently Central Water Commission has been entrusted with coordination and
monitoring of implementation of PIM in the States/UTs at the Central level.
Secretary, MoWR has written to the Chief Secretaries of States and UTs, which are yet to take action to enact legislation on PIM, asking them to take necessary time bound action for enacting necessary legislation for PIM.
As per the guidelines under the restructured CADWM Programme,
State level committees have to be formed for review and monitoring of the CAD projects under the programme. These committees have to have representation from Water Users’ Associations at project level.

STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PIM IN SOME STATES I. Status of implementation of PIM in the States that have responded to the initiative taken by the MoWR as the Priority/Thrust Area item: Some States have responded to the initiative taken by the MoWR in implementing the Priority / Thrust Area item of the Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). A brief of the status is given below. a) Andhra Pradesh: Irrigation and CAD Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh has given the status of implementation of PIM/WUAs in Andhra Pradesh. Salient features of implementation are as follows. The Andhra Pradesh Farmers’ Management of Irrigation Systems (APFMIS) Act was enacted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in the year 1997 to promote farmers participation in Irrigation Management. It was informed that 10,790 WUAs are constituted in Major, Medium and Minor irrigation sectors. WUAs in the Minor irrigation sector are formed to such tanks whose ayacut is more than 100 acres. WUAs have been delineated and elections to the same have been completed for 13 districts in October 2003. Arrangements for elections in remaining 9 districts are in progress. In order to disseminate technical know-how on Agriculture & Irrigation, Presidents of WUAs and Territorial Constituency members have been imparted training on the provisions of the APFMIS Act, execution of maintenance works, water regulation, maintenance of records, capacity building, on agricultural aspects etc. Conferences are held regularly, to create awareness among WUAs about their role in PIM, at district/region/State level. These conferences have helped the WUAs to ventilate their problems and get solutions for some of their problems. Evaluation studies have been conducted at regular intervals and the performance of the Farmers Organisations is being monitored every year. Performance of the Farmers Organisations in the past five years was studied at various levels, which suggested certain changes in the set up of the WUAs to make them more transparent and accountable to the water users. Amendments to the Act are brought out through Act 7 of 2003 in April 2003. b) Bihar: Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar informed that that till date 12 distributaries have been handed over to the beneficiaries of duly registered societies covering a CCA of 28,746 ha. Further, about 60 distributaries are in final stage of handing over covering an area of 1.47 lakh ha.
It is proposed to hand over 622 distribution systems covering CCA of 1506422 ha. under PIM up to X Five Year Plan. About 50% of the total CCA of the major and medium irrigation projects have been targeted to be included under PIM during the X Five Year Plan. The farmers are being motivated and trained to take up this programme and the departmental officers are also being trained to promote this programme amongst the farmers. c) Gujarat: The Chief Secretary, Govt. of Gujarat written that they have prepared a draft Act and had circulated a copy of the same in October 2003 to all concerned Departments with a request to offer their comments within a month. And it was also intimated that, as soon as the comments are received, they would work out the details and submit to the Legislature for passing an appropriate Act. Gujarat has been giving high priority to PIM and has been systematically promoting it by facilitating through Government resolutions from time to time since 1980s. So far, 29 number of WUAs covering an area of 12530 ha in areas covered by CAD Projects and 447 WUAs with an area of 6470 ha in non-CAD areas under major and medium projects have been established. A High Level Working Group under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary has been set up in 1994 to consider the policy issues relating to Participatory Irrigation Management and also constituted a Steering Committee for implementation of PIM. d) Maharashtra: Secretary (CAD), Govt. of Maharashtra has informed the following. i) The Govt. of Maharashtra initiated the formation of Water Users’ Associations in the year 1990. Further, in the year 2001 Govt. of Maharashtra has made it obligatory to make farmers participation in irrigation management and to hand over irrigation systems to WUAs by the end of year 2002-03. ii) In March 2003 Govt. of Maharashtra has approved draft legislation named as ‘Maharashtra Farmers’ Management of Irrigation Systems Act 2003’. The draft bill is under finalisation to present it for approval by the State Legislation in the ensuing winter session 2003. The said Act has been designed on the basis of the Acts passed by Govt. of Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. iii) One-day seminars have been organised over the entire State at seven locations to create awareness amongst irrigation beneficiaries with regard to formation of WUAs. It has also launched drive regarding formation of WUAs in the month of October 2003. iv) It has been planned to create WUAs over entire State within a period of 3 years, which covers X Plan period (2002-07). v) State Water Policy (July 2002) has been formulated suitable to their State conditions as per the directives given in National Water Policy.
e) Karnataka: Additional Chief Secretary & Development Commissioner, Government of Karnataka has informed that they are taking some positive steps in the direction of implementation of PIM. Some details of implementation of PIM in Karnataka and formation of Water Users Associations/Societies formed have been furnished. In the Project-wise progress on PIM, it is mentioned that a total of 2279 Water Users’ Cooperative Societies (WUCS) have been registered as of February 2005 covering an area of 10,52,406 ha. MoUs have been entered into with 1247 WUCS covering an area of 5,83,642 ha. Government of Karnataka has amended the Irrigation Rules called the Karnataka Irrigation (Levy of Water Rates) (Amendment) Rules, 2002, revising crop-wise water rates, through a notification in October 2002. f) Haryana: Engineer-in-Chief, Irrigation Department, Government of Haryana has informed the following. i) A committee for submission of a proposal for framing Participatory Irrigation Management Act along the lines as enacted by other States and Model Act of MoWR has been constituted in Command Area Development Authority. After the in depth study and discussions the proposal will be submitted by the Administrator, CADA to the Government of Haryana for approval. ii) State-wise orientation/awareness generation camps for functionaries of irrigation/CAD Department, farmers and NGOs are already being held by the Haryana Irrigation Management Institute, Kurukshetra. iii) Guidelines for formation of Water Users’ Associations (WUAs) were issued as early as in the year 2000 and more than 2800 WUAs have already been formed in Haryana. Steps are being taken to cover maximum area of various irrigation projects under PIM. iv) A Core Group on PIM under the Chairmanship of Chief Engineer/Co-ordination already exists in Haryana Irrigation Department to sustain the concept of PIM at watercourse level, to take PIM to higher hydrological levels i.e. minor and distributories and to monitor and evaluate this concept in the field. The State of Haryana is keen to implement the concept of PIM as per the spirit of the National Water Policy and has taken adequate steps in this direction. g) Kerala: The Principal Secretary to the Government of Kerala, Water Resources (CAD) Department has informed that the ‘Kerala Irrigation and Water Conservation Bill 2003’ has been passed by Kerala Legislative Assembly. The Bill has a general provision for implementation of PIM in Kerala. Water Resources (CAD) Department has informed that, based on the joint study by CWRDM and CADA on PIM, one year pilot projects have been taken up in Olathanni Branch Canal of Neyyar Project (project started in March 2004) and Kuthanur Branch
Canal of Malampuzha Irrigation Project (project started in June 2004). These pilot projects are implemented by CWRDM in association with Water Resources Department, CADA and Agriculture Department. Activities of the project are carried out through five different phases i.e. Preparation, Organisation, Rehabilitation, Capacity Building and Turn-over. Water Groups and WUAs will be formed soon. Status as per the records is as follows: Kerala Command Area Development Act, 1986 provides for three-tier Water Users’ Associations i.e. Beneficiary Farmers’ Associations at the outlet levels, Canal Committees and Project Level Committees. So far, 3712 Beneficiary Farmers’ Associations, 99 Canal Committees and 9 Project Level Committees have been constituted. A High Level Working Group under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary has been set up to consider the policy issues on Participatory Irrigation Management in 1997. A state level conference on Participatory Irrigation Management was held in February, 1996 and during 1996-97 three project level conferences have been held to create awareness on Participatory Irrigation Management at grass root levels. h) Madhya Pradesh: Director PIM & PM, ICEF Project, WRD, Bhopal, M.P. has sent a note on PIM in Madhya Pradesh. They have also sent a copy of “Madhya Pradesh Sinchai Prabandhan Me Krishako ki Bhagidari Adhiniyam – 1999” including amendments up to June 2003. It was informed that a total of 1,470 Water Users’ Associations have been formed as on March 2004 under the minor, medium and major irrigation projects covering an area of 15,01,454 ha. 90 Distributary Committees and 76 Project Committees have also been formed. Elections of Farmers Organisations have been conducted. Training was imparted to officials of WRD, Presidents and competent authorities of WUAs, and field functionaries by WALMI and M.P. Administrative Academy as a part of the capacity building. Workshops and conferences were held at district level, where dialogue and interactions were held with the WUAs Presidents/members, Sub-Engineers concerned etc. Regional level and State level conferences were also held for the Presidents, Members and competent authorities. i) U.T. of Lakshadweep: Administration of the U.T. of Lakshadweep has informed that there is no river, canal, waterfall, stream etc. in Lakshadweep. The entire cultivable area is densely populated with coconut trees, which is rain fed. The concept of Participatory Irrigation Management is therefore not relevant to Lakshadweep. j) Rajasthan: Government of Rajasthan has informed the following. PIM is a prime requirement in the World Bank aided Project namely Rajasthan Water Sector Restructuring Project (RWSRP). Accordingly, formation of WUAs and distributory committees has been completed in 91 Irrigation Schemes under the Project following the procedure laid in the Rajasthan Farmers Participation in Management of Irrigation Systems (RFPMIS) Act 2000 & RFPMIS Rules, 2002. WUAs have been formed in 91 irrigation systems (Major, Medium and Minor) up to February 2004, under the World Bank aided Rajasthan Water Sector Restructuring Project. 506 WUAs, 72
Distributory Committees and 2 Project Committees have been formed. Elections of 506 WUAs, 74 DCs and 2 PCs have been completed. Rehabilitation of irrigation systems under the Project is in progress. Rehabilitation work of small channels having discharge less than 10 cusecs is to be carried out by the WUAs and that of other channels is being done by Irrigation Department. The system is proposed to be transferred to WUAs as soon as the rehabilitation work is completed, which is expected within two to three years. With this about 17% of total CCA of the State will come under PIM. Schemes not included in RWSRP are being identified where PIM can be implemented with minimal of canal rehabilitation works. After identification of such schemes, efforts shall be made to generate awareness in the farmers regarding formation of WUAs citing examples of successful WUAs, which have started functioning. Subsequently, these schemes shall be brought under the ambit of RFPMIS-2000 and more and more command area covered under PIM to achieve the target during the X Five Year Plan. A two-day workshop was conducted at IMTI Kota in June 2003 for the DC presidents and selected WUAs presidents, and discussions were held on various issues of PIM and efforts were made to solve the problems of DCs and WUAs presidents. Regular meetings were held by the officials of Irrigation Department with the Farmers Organisations to resolve technical and administrative problems of Farmers Organisations. Mass awareness and capacity building trainings for members of Managing Committees of WUAs have been held and refresher courses for maintenance of records are in progress. k) Chandigarh: Chief Engineer, U.T. Chandigarh has informed that the information with regard to major and medium irrigation projects may be considered as NIL. And it was stated that with regard to amendment to irrigation Act for participatory irrigation management, Public Health wing of Engineering Department, UT, Chandigarh is dealing minor irrigation scheme only. l) Chhattisgarh: Water Resources Division, Chhattisgarh has informed that, under the “Madhya Pradesh Sinchai Prabandhan Me Krishkon Ki Bhagidari Adhiniyam, 1999”, a total of 945 Water Users’ Associations were formed in year 2000. They would be working till June 2005. It was also stated that the WUAs are given due rights, and rules were also framed under the Act. m) Orissa: Orissa has enacted “The Orissa Pani Panchayat Act 2002 & Rules 2003”. Pani Panchayat programme was launched in the State in September 2000 with a view to cover an ayacut of 17.71 lakh hectares up to the end of 2005 in major, medium, minor and lift irrigation projects.
So far, 11020 Pani Panchayat’s/WUAs have been formed and registered covering an ayacut of 9.07 lakh hectares and irrigation management has been transferred over to 8318 PPs/WUAs covering an ayacut of 5.97 lakh hectares. n) Dadra and Nagar Haveli, UT: Administration of Dadra and Nagar Haveli Union Territory has informed that there are no major or medium irrigation projects in the Union Territory except one Damanganga Reservoir Project which is a common venture of Govt. of Gujaart, Administration of Daman and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. This project was executed by the Govt. of Gujarat and all the minor, sub-minor and distributary canals falling under the U.T have been handed over to the U.T. Administration by the Govt. of Gujarat. All major canals falling in the U.T. are being looked after by the Govt. of Gujarat authority. However, it is informed by the U.T. Administration that necessary orientation/awareness generation camps for functionaries of Irrigation/Agriculture department and farmers will be organised in due course of time. Required field channels have already been constructed and handed over to respective farmers. Minors, sub-minors and distributaries are managed by the department. Maintenance of the field channels is being done by farmers. The present set up is functioning satisfactorily. And it is also mentioned that the territory being predominantly of Adivasi population, it may not be advisable to interfere with the existing arrangement. o) Tamil Nadu: Water Resources Organisation of PWD is operating and maintaining irrigation projects catering to about 21.0 lakh hectares of irrigated area spread over 28 districts. With the launching of Water Resources Consolidation Project in 1995-96 funded by the World Bank, an area of about 7.0 lakh hectares out of 21.0 lakh hectares was rehabilitated and about 1566 Farmers Associations formed under Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act of 1975. Subsequently, to provide necessary legal support for effective functioning of the Farmers Associations, the Government of Tamil Nadu have enacted the “Tamil Nadu Farmers’ Management of Irrigation Systems Act, 2000”. Necessary rules for implementation of the Act were framed and the Act had been brought into force in all 21.0 lakh ha. of area. However, the Government has decided to implement this Act first in the area of 7.0 lakh ha. rehabilitated under Water Resources Consolidation Project in order to expedite the realisation of increase in agricultural productivity and achievement of effective irrigation water utilisation. Elections to Water Users’ Associations have been held in 19 districts during January and February, 2004. As there are still some posts of Presidents of WUAs and Members of the Managing Committees lying vacant, elections for these posts would be held shortly by the Government. After completion of elections to WUAs, further follow up action would be taken to form Distributory Committees and Project Committees as per provisions of the Act and the rules made there under. p) Nagaland: Government of Nagaland has informed that 25 number of WUAs have been formed under two CAD projects.
q) Uttaranchal: Government of Uttaranchal has informed that their State has taken several steps in furthering the speedy implementation of the programme. A few of them are:
i. A decision has been taken for devolution of rights and duties with respect to the irrigation projects/assets, though in a phased manner, to the Users’ Associations for their further management. A time bound transfer of the completed projects to the User Groups is being followed up.
ii. In the course of formulating new projects, particularly in minor irrigation sector where the projects have less catchment area, major emphasis is given on community owned and run projects, prior formation of User groups and their maximum involvement in implementation. r) Assam: Irrigation Department, Government of Assam has informed that keeping in line with the National Water Policy, the Irrigation Department has initiated action to the turn over process. But due to paucity of funds the schemes could not be renovated to proper state before handing over to WUAs. A draft Assam Irrigation Water Users’ Act has been prepared by the Department, in which main thrust has been given to the formation of Committees at various levels. s) Meghalaya: Government of Meghalaya informed that they have constituted a Committee under the chairmanship of the Principal Secretary, Agriculture Department to facilitate decision-making relating to the PIM in the State. Main functions of the Committee are to monitor and review the progress of implementation of PIM, formulate action plan to ensure participation of farmers, to study the manner of empowering the WUAs and to decide water charges, and to make recommendations to the Government of India. It has been informed (in December 2004) that till date 99 FA/WUAs are registered in the State under the Meghalaya Society Registration Act XII of 1983. A draft MoU to be signed between the Department and the WUA is under process for obtaining Government’s approval. There is no existing Irrigation Act in the State and hence water rates could not be collected from the beneficiaries of irrigation projects. EE s have been asked to work out probable cost of O&M of irrigation projects so as to arrive at an acceptable water rate. t) Tripura: Government of Tripura has published guidelines for handing over irrigation schemes to Panchayats for operation, maintenance and collection of water charges for irrigation schemes. Notification in this respect has been issued by the State. II. Status of implementation of PIM in some of the States that have not responded so far to the initiative taken by the MoWR: Status of implementation of PIM, as per the records available, in some of the States that have not responded so far to the initiative taken by the MoWR is given below: a) Goa: Government of Goa has enacted “The Goa Command Area Development Act 1997 (Goa Act 27 of 1997)” to implement PIM in the State. In the commands of Anjunam and Salauli Irrigation Projects, which are on going, CAD Projects 39 numbers of WUAs covering an area of 4519 hectares have been formed.
b) Uttar Pradesh: Uttar Pradesh Area Development Act, 1976 provides for formation of farmers’ associations at the outlet level to be called Chak Sabha. A pilot project “Basarahiya Water Cooperative Society” was attempted in the command of Sharda Sahayak. A High Level Working Group under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary has been constituted during 1996 to formulate policy issues and guidelines for the implementation of Participatory Irrigation Management in the State. The State had conducted a state level conference during February, 1996 at Lucknow to give thrust to the programme. Five project level conferences during 1996-97 and two project level conferences during 1997-98 have been conducted to create awareness among officials as well as farmers at grass root level. c) West Bengal: Beneficiary committees have been constituted but do not have any legal back up. 10,000 such committees are working in the State but functional grants are not being given to them.

ANNEXURE - I
GUIDELINES FOR RELEASE OF CENTRAL ASSISTANCE (APPLICABLE SINCE 1.4.2004)
The Command Area Development Programme has been in operation since 1974-75 as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Much emphasis has been assigned to the programme during the IX Plan and thereafter in view of Government of India’s resolve to raise food grains production in the coming years to meet the increasing need of food for growing population. Keeping in view the recommendations of the Working Groups of the Planning Commission for X Plan, the suggestions of the Ministry of Finance and the views expressed by the State Governments the scheme has been restructured and renamed as ‘Command Area Development and Water Management (CADWM) Programme’ for implementation during the remaining 3 years of X Plan. The main features of CADWM are : i) continuation of those components which have upon review been found to be beneficial to the farmers; ii) inclusion of some new components considered essential for correcting the deficiencies in the irrigation systems; and iii) deletion of those components which are less important and have lost their utility over time. The details of the same are given in the subsequent paragraphs:
The programme has to be implemented in a holistic manner so that it not only
improves water use efficiency but also increases agricultural productivity and production and brings sustainability in the irrigated agriculture in a participatory environment. It is advisable that the works be done with minor as a unit. All outlets under the minor be saturated at one go. All aspects of the CADWM Programme, therefore, need be taken up in an integrated and coordinated manner so as to achieve the envisaged objectives.
The financing pattern effective from 1.4.2004 has already been circulated by this Ministry vide Order No.2-10/2001-CAD (Pt.) dated 25th February, 2004. The eligible items and conditions in respect of central assistance operative from 1.4.2004 are as follows:- I. GRANTS (on 50:50 sharing basis) (i) CAD Establishment The total cost on establishment of Command Area Development Authorities at project level and the Command Area Development and Water Utilization Departments and monitoring cell for monitoring of Command Area Development Programme at State level should be kept to the minimum. The cost of establishment should not exceed 20% of the expenditure on works items namely, OFD works, viz, construction of field channels/ full package OFD works, field, intermediate and link drains and reclamation of waterlogged areas only. The expenditure on establishment, if any, over and above the 20% of the expenditure on works as stated above has to be met by the State Governments from their budget.
(ii) One-time functional grants to Water Users' Associations (WUAs)
Farmers themselves need to maintain Field Channels and Field Drains constructed under the programme in the subsequent years. It is, therefore, essential to involve WUAs in the planning and execution of OFD works, equitable distribution of irrigation water among all the land holders of an outlet command and repair/ maintenance of the distribution network after the same is handed over to them for management. Formation of WUAs at minor or above level is now on mandatory for implementing the CADWM Programme. To facilitate the working of these Water Users’ Associations a provision has been made for One-time Functional Grant at the rate of Rs.600 per ha. (270 per ha by Centre, Rs.270/- per ha by the State and Rs.60/- per ha by the farmers). The Functional Grant will be given where Water Users’ Associations are formed, registered and actually engaged in distribution of water. The amount would be deposited in the fixed account of Water Users’ Association in the bank and interest accrued thereon would be used for the activities of the Associations. However, necessary proof of fixed deposit of the functional grants meant for the Associations, which includes all the tri-parties contributions, will have to be given for the amount granted.
(iii) Enforcement of Warabandi The Command Area Development Authority does enforcement of Warabandi below the outlets. Integrated water management including supply from the head regulator of main canal up to the farm gates should be considered as a single unit. Effective coordination with the irrigation staff is necessary in working out operation plan for the main system, which would be in conformity with the warabandi schedules prepared below the outlets. Preparation of operation plan for the main canal systems should be attempted in advance, considering the recommended sowing time of various crops for kharif and Rabi seasons. Coordination with the Agriculture Department (extension wing of Agriculture Department as well as zonal research centers of State Agricultural Universities and ICAR or any other reputed Institute) who would advise about the most suitable dates of sowing of crops as well as crop sequences is also necessary for effective implementation of warabandi. Working out scheduled water distribution for opening of the canal, restoring of the branches or distributaries for providing equitable water supply in various sub-commands and informing the farmers in advance, need be done.
Central assistance for enforcement of warabandi will not be available with effect from 1.4.2004. The expenditure on regulatory/control structures to be installed for enforcement of warabandi can however be met from the component relating to correction of system deficiencies above the outlet upto distributaries of 150cusec capacity. The regulatory structures could be:
− Construction of Adjustable Proportionate Modules (APMs) at outlet head and measuring devices in field channel like parshall flumes, notches (rectangular or trapezoidal) or weirs depending upon situation
− Providing gates for the outlets in case of ungated or pipe outlets so as to control/stop deliveries in the field channels.
− Display boards at outlet head showing the name of outlet, discharge, CCA, name of farmer, area of his field, his turn indicating day and time for taking water, duration of time. The name of farmers’ Association, if any, functions, responsibilities and duties of the farmers should also appear on the board.
− Auto-transmitters coupled with gauge recorders for speedy and reliable transmission of gauges to the control stations.
Training of farmers on Warabandi can be carried out by WALMIs and other State/Central agencies/Institutes and the cost met from soft ware items. It is essential to maintain records of Warabandi system as before and progress of the item shall be monitored by the proposed State level Committee (mentioned subsequently).
(iv) Crop compensation to Farmers for on-farm development works The Central assistance for this item will not be available w.e.f. 1.4.2004 as this component stands deleted.
(v) Survey Planning and Design
Topographic survey is meant for proper planning and designing of OFD works so as to ensure their quality. Soil survey is meant for land capability classification so as to understand their capability for crop planning and undertake proper treatment measures to realize their full potential. Proper topographic and soil survey maps of the project should be maintained in CADA records.
(vi) Construction of field channels Construction of field channels is an important activity under the Programme for efficient utilization of irrigation water. Properly planned, aligned and designed field channels should be constructed from the Government outlet in a manner that each and every field of the outlet command is connected by field channel. The Central assistance to the extent of 50% cost on matching basis for construction of field channels with related structures like cistern, measuring devices, drop structure, division box, checks, turnouts, flumes, culverts, inverted siphons, community development works, etc. and lining of at least 20% length of total length of field channels at vulnerable reaches would be available as grant in the CADWM projects. However, if the seepage losses in the watercourse are very high due to the type of soil, climatic conditions, scarcity of water and low intensity of irrigation, more percentage of length could be lined after approval of CADWM Wing of Ministry of Water Resources. Such approval is not necessary if the extra cost on these accounts is to being met from State funds.
Release of Central assistance for North Eastern States, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, hilly areas of Uttranchal, DVC of West Bengal, Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana (IGNP) of Rajasthan and districts of Haryana and Punjab bordering IGNP will be regulated by the cost norms of Rs.7500/per ha. or half of the actual expenditure
whichever is less (total cost Rs. 15000/- per ha). For other States, including plain areas of Uttaranchal and West Bengal and areas not covered under command of IGNP in Rajasthan, the norm will be Rs.5000/- per ha or half of actual expenditure whichever is less (total cost Rs.10000/- per ha). Beneficiary farmers through their WUAs shall be required to contribute minimum 10% of the total cost as their share either in cash or in the form of labour at the time of taking up of these works.
(vii) Full Package OFD Works This component will cover costs associated with construction of field channels (as above) and land levelling / terracing / realignment of boundaries. Terracing and land levelling in hilly terrains is an important activity requiring substantial investments for mechanized handling, which is beyond the capacity of small and marginal farmers. This component shall enable the hilly and special category States to go in for mechanized terracing at Government cost. For the hilly States the central assistance would be Rs 9000/- per ha or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.18000/- per ha). For other States admissible central assistance for this component will be the same as applicable to construction of field channels in plain areas i.e Rs 5000/- per ha or half of actual expenditure whichever is less (total cost Rs.10000/- per ha) and it is made clearthat additional cost if any on that account shall be borne by the States themselves. Beneficiary farmers through their WUAs shall be required to contribute minimum 10% of the total cost as their share either in cash or in the form of labour at the time of taking up of these works.
(viii) Field, Intermediate and Link Drains The expenditure under this component would be admissible on field drains from individual fields and other intermediate/link drains to provide connectivity to the main drains.
For the States of North-Eastern Region, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, hilly areas of Uttranchal and West Bengal, Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana (IGNP) of Rajasthan, districts of Haryana and Punjab bordering IGNP the admissible central assistance would be Rs.2500/- per ha or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.5000/- per ha). For other States including plain areas of West Bengal and Uttaranchal and areas not covered under the command of IGNP in Rajasthan, the admissible central assistance would be Rs. 2000/- per ha or half of the actual expenditure whichever is less(total cost Rs.4000/- per ha).
(ix) Reclamation of Waterlogged Areas The problem of water logging in the Commands of irrigation projects has affected the health of the soil and reduced the agricultural productivity considerably. Central assistance to States is therefore being provided for reclamation of water logged areas in the irrigated command of the projects covered under CAD Programme. The items of work under this scheme are:-
− Assessment of problem areas in the commands of irrigation projects.
− Planning and designing for preventive and reclamation measures. − Taking up the preventive and remedial activities like land management, drainage
(surface, sub-surface, vertical etc.).
− Monitoring and evaluation. A component on bio-drainage has also been added w.e.f 14.2004. Wherever feasible, bio-drainage techniques alone or in conjunction with conventional techniques may be used for reclamation of waterlogged areas. The guidelines for bio-drainage are under preparation and shall take a few years due to research associated with it. The component on bio-drainage may not be executed without caution. Proper guidance on implementing this component from Central/ State forest Departments, Agricultural Universities, ICAR/ WTC Centres etc. in advance shall be necessary. The central assistance admissible for surface, vertical and bio-drainage would be Rs.7500/- per ha or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.15000/- per ha). For sub-surface drainage the admissible central assistance would be Rs 20000/-per ha. or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.40000/- per ha). Prior approval of the Government of India will be necessary before undertaking the reclamation work. The proposals may be discussed in the State level committee and then sent to the regional office of CWC and to the Ministry. Upon recommendations of the CWC, the multi-disciplinary Core Group of the Ministry will accord approval for execution.
(x) Correction of system deficiencies A number of irrigation projects in the country have been operating much below their potential due to shortage of funds for O&M related activities such as cleaning of the channels by de-silting and weeding, raising earthwork in embankments or dressing the bed and side-slopes to the design standard and removing undercuts in hard strata, strengthening of banks in filling sections, restoring bed gradients, replacing and painting metal parts in gates and hoists, making control and measuring devices fully functional etc. This has been by and large responsible for unreliability in availability of irrigation water at farm level and consequently the reduced irrigation efficiency. The scope of the CADWM Programme has, therefore, been expanded to take care of system deficiencies occurring above the outlet up to distributaries of 150 cusec capacity. This would eventually improve the output of the activities below the outlet as well. The admissible central assistance for this component would be Rs 2000/-per ha. or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.4000/- per ha. The State Governments will be required to ensure that distributory Committees are formed, who can take over these distributaries for operation and maintenance, after these have been rehabilitated. Work on this item is to be executed with Minor/distributary as a unit and on those distributaries where all outlets have been saturated and the OFD works have been handed over to the WUAs. Prior approval of the
Government of India will be necessary before undertaking the rehabilitation work and the mode of approval shall be as defined under the item ‘reclamation of waterlogged areas’. (x) Renovation of Minor Irrigation Tanks In case of many of the projects, particularly in southern and western states, a large number of existing Minor irrigation tanks within the irrigation commands of these projects have either been silted up or are encroached upon, thereby limiting their utility to supply irrigation water within the command. It has been decided to rehabilitate and remodel all such existing tanks ( irrigation command > 40ha but less than 2000 ha) including the irrigation system and control structures. The central assistance admissible for this component would be Rs 7500/-per ha. or half of the actual expenditure, whichever is less (total cost Rs.15000/- per ha). The rehabilitation and remodeling of these tanks has to be taken up at the last stage after all other CAD activities in the command have been completed. A minimum 10% contribution by WUAs/farmers is mandatory for sustainable running/future de-silting of these tanks for which an effective mechanism is to be devised before implementing the component. This contribution has to be deposited into the accounts of WUAs as maintenance corpus fund and the interest from the same will be utilized for maintenance. New tanks and tanks outside the irrigation command are beyond the preview of CADWM programme and shall be developed by States through other funds/schemes. Prior approval of the Government of India will be necessary before undertaking the rehabilitation work and the mode of approval shall be as defined under the item ‘reclamation of waterlogged areas’’.
(xi) Subsidies Subsidy for land leveling/shaping, sprinkler and drip irrigation and for ground water development which was admissible to small and marginal farmers on matching basis on IRDP pattern has been deleted w.e.f. 1.4.2004. However, the Ministry will appreciate implementation of these items through of funds from other schemes.
II GRANTS (75: 25 sharing basis)
(xii) Adaptive Trials and Demonstrations Appropriate water management practices at the field level, usually called on-farm water management, which include preparation of fields to receive irrigation water, improved methods of irrigation such as, border strips, check basins, furrows, determining the optimal lengths of fields, suitable stream size etc. are required to be experimented in different locations and demonstrations thereof arranged for the benefit of the farmers. Working out appropriate frequencies and water doses for different crops, evolving water allowances in the command after considering the total water available, field application losses as well as the conveyance loses so as to ensure equity in distribution of water in various sub-commands as well as among the farmers can also be experimented under
these trials. Training farmers in respect of irrigated agriculture, switching over from rain fed crops with low risk; low inputs to high inputs high risk irrigated crops so as to increase yields as well as profits is required to be included in these trials. This change over has to be gradual after considering the financial capability of the farmers which can be done by adjusting the most suitable combination of fertilizer ingredients (NPK) after testing the soils. For this purpose comprehensive adaptive trials should be taken up in the respective command areas according to the guidelines already issued earlier. Prior approval from the Ministry may be taken by the State Government in respect of Adaptive Trials before their execution and incurring of expenditure and the mode of approval shall be as defined under the item ‘reclamation of waterlogged areas’’. The job can also be entrusted to WALMIs/ other central and State Agencies for better coordination.
(xiii) Training
The Staff of irrigation department at management levels, field staff and field level workers from the Command Area Development Agency would need training in improving the deliveries from the main system, on-farm water management, and enforcement of Warabandi irrigation, planning & designing of OFD works, Participatory Irrigation Management etc. The farmers would also need training in distribution of water below the outlet or minor and maintenance of field channels/field drains, use of improved water management and agricultural practices.
The superintending engineers, executive engineers and deputy engineers can be trained at the respective WALMI’s in the states but the field level staff and farmers need to be trained at the project level.
Project level training centers may therefore be setup for imparting training in respect of the activities or works entrusted to the various categories of staff so as to improve their capabilities and also to ensure effective quality control. The job can also be entrusted to WALMIs/ other central and State Agencies wherever feasible. The farmers particularly the members of the executive body of WUAs, members of the minor/ distributory committees may be trained in irrigated crops, crop rotations, proper sowing times, crop water-soil relationship, warabandi, Participatory Irrigation Management and maintenance of field channels/drains. This can be done by organizing 3-5 days workshops, training programme, etc.
The expenditure on training would be shared by Govt. of India and State Governments on 75:25 basis.
A number of training programmes are also organized by the Ministry of Water Resources through premier Institutions, such as Administrative Staff College of India, IIMs, WRDTC (Roorkee), Water Technology Centre of ICAR, etc., so as to acquaint the senior level officers in policy planning in depth evaluation and organizing farmers with a view to invoke their participation in water management and operational improvements. The
expenditure on such training programmes would be borne 100% by Govt. of India. Senior level officers of States can benefit from such programmes.
(xiv) Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring of irrigation and CAD projects is a State subject. There is no foolproof mechanism for monitoring of irrigation projects by the Centre. At present the monitoring and evaluation mechanism is either non-existent or is weak. CADWM unit of MoWR and CWC do monitoring through periodical progress reports, detailed accounts (required to be submitted by the States with the release proposals), field visits, meetings, consultants’ visits etc. Other than this, there is no mechanism by which old and new structures and their qualities can be ascertained. Scope of monitoring needs to be enlarged, by way of covering all the projects, and increase in percentage of random test check on the basis of progress reports given by the CADAs and field visits etc.
Concurrent evaluation is done by the States, CWC, and MoWR for knowing the direction of the programme, assessing the performance, identifying constraints, to suggest corrections if any. Post evaluation is done for taking lessons from the past for future planning. Use of remote sensing has been tried but has not been found useful, primarily due to scale of mapping, large scale ground truth confirmation and limitation of evaluation of characteristics related to aerial extent. It is increasingly being felt that both monitoring and evaluation mechanisms need to be strengthened. It has been decided to continue with the old system of monitoring through Quarterly Progress Reports, Annual Administrative Reports and submission of physical and financial progress along with release proposals, field visits, through consultants etc. Besides, CWC will monitor all CADWM projects.
(xv) State level committee to monitor the CADWM programme
With a view to further strengthen the monitoring of the CADWM Programme it is suggested that the States constitute a multidisciplinary Committee at State level with composition as under:
1. Secretary in charge (CAD) in the State Chairman 2. Representative Irrigation Dept Member 3. Representative Central Water Commission Member 4. Representative Central Ground Water Board Member 5. Representative ICAR Regional Centre Member 6. Representative State Agricultural University Member 7. Director Water and Land Management Institute Member 8. Representative Agriculture Dept (Extension Unit) Member 9. Representative Project Level Committee formed under PIM Act Member 10. Sr. Joint Commissioner (CADWM) GoI Member
11. Commissioner/ Administrator CADA Member Secretary
Wherever CADA Boards exist, the same can discharge the functions of State Level Monitoring Committee. However, their composition may be broad based to include the representation from various State Central departments / Organizations as suggested above.
The State level Monitoring Committee may meet twice a year before Rabi and Kharif season and monitor/ review the performance of CADWM programme.
The indicative Terms of Reference for the Committee are as under:
e. To decide the future work programme of CADA and ensure its implementation in an integrated and holistic manner and advise suitably.
f. To review the progress of CADWM programme and make suggestions for improving its performance at all levels.
g. To decide upon the evaluation studies to be taken up at the State level. h. To review and recommend project proposals to be sent to GoI for approval.
The present system of evaluation of CAD Projects at National Level at 100 % Central cost and at State Level with enhanced funding of Centre: State as 75:25 shall continue.

IV PROCEDURE FOR RELEASE OF CENTRAL ASSISTANCE
The release of Central assistance will be made in installments subject to the following conditions: -
(a) Ad-hoc release (First Installment): The first release is normally made on ad-hoc basis on receipt of minimum information as per the format enclosed (Annexure – I (A) and I-(B)).
(b) Regular Releases (Second/further Installments):
The release of second/further installments would be considered upon receipt of the physical and financial progress reports and other relevant information in the prescribed formats (Annexure – II Proforma I to XIV). State Governments should ensure that there is no diversion of funds, excess payment than approved norms, improper payment against the approved financing pattern, i.e. all precautions should be taken to avoid financial irregularities and improprieties by keeping proper watch and giving full cognizance to the suggestions given by the audit in the past. Advances to Government Servants and others for special departmental purposes shall be regulated by special orders issued by the State Government in consultation with the State Finance Department and copy sent to this Ministry for reference.
V. GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CADWM PROGRAMME
The restructured programme has been approved subject to the following requirements: a. Convergence with other schemes of various Ministries should be in-built into the
projects. b. On-going projects should be prioritised and projectised. During X Plan priority should
be given for completion of on-going projects. New projects can be taken up only in those States where all ongoing projects have been completed efficiently and effectively. Projectization should be a key element of the implementation strategy which means that detailed project Reports (DPRs) should be prepared for each of the ongoing projects, with time frame, budget, action plan, deliverables and success criteria being clearly spelt out.
c. Assistance would be conditional to enactment of PIM Legislation. Till this is done alternative arrangements should be made for formation and empowerment of Water Users' Associations. Water Users' Associations should be in position before project components are taken up so that beneficiaries are involved in the projects since inception. Water User Associations should be formed immediately in on-going projects, wherever this has not been done, before further funds are released.
d. The component of rehabilitation/renovation of minor irrigation tanks should be implemented only after other Command Area Development works are completed.
VI. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME IN A HOLISTIC MANNER :
a. The states will ensure working of the CAD Programme on minor/distributory
basis instead of outlet basis. b. Water Users' Associations are to be formed before taking up on farm activities c. Field channels are to be constructed with active involvement of Water Users'
Associations and handed over to them after completion. d. Field drains are also to be simultaneously constructed along with field channels
wherever required e. WALMIs are to be intimately involved in training and other related activities.
f. After the On-farm works have been completed and all outlets are saturated, an MOU must be signed between Minor/distributory committees and Irrigation departments for future maintenance.
