CHAPTER - 1 

PROJECT BACKGROUND 



1.1 Project Background 

The milliwatershed consists of seven villages namely Ghoghavadar, Rupavati, Bildi, Bandhiya, Satapar, Shishak and Sandhvaya, IWMP-II cluster 

which are located in Gondal Taluka of Rajkot District in Gujarat state. The project is a cluster of 19 micro watersheds with 5G1B8 b2g, 5G1B8 b2f, 5G1B8 

b2b, 5G1B8 b2h, 5G1B8 b2d, 5G1B8 b2e, 5G1B9 a1d, 5G1B9 a1b, 5G1B9 a2c, 5G1B9 a2d, 5G1B9a2e, 5G1B9 a2f, 5G1B9 a2g, 5G1B9 a2p, 5G1B9 a2q, 

5G1B9 a2b, 5G1B9 a2c, 5G1B9 a2h and 5G1B9 a2a as micro watershed codes. The total project area of the watershed is about 9265.2 ha, out of which 4565.2 

ha is proposed to be treated under Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP). 

The nearest town is Gondal - Kotda which is about 20 km from the project area and well connected by pucca road. In the watershed villages Patel, 

Darbar, Shephred Kadiya, Aayar, Brahmin, Koli, Muslims and Harijan communities are the primary inhabitants of the village. The villagers mainly depend 

upon agriculture or working in diamond polishing shops, oil-engine and submarshible industries in Shapar city. The Shephred community mainly depends upon 

dairying. Agriculture is totally dependent on rain. There are 2 to 3 nos of wells in the project area. Drinking water mainly comes from the village borewell 

situated near Panchayat office in Bandhiya. Horticultural plants and afforestation plants planted under hariyali project and by organization BAIF increase the 

beauty of most of villages. The visible trees in the farmlands are Jamun, Amla, Neem, Banyan, Pipal, Babool, Bor and Lemon.

1.2 Need of Watershed Development Programme 


Watershed Development Programme is selected on the basis of thirteen parameter namely Poverty Index, Percentage of SC/ST, Actual wages, 

Percentage of small and marginal farmers, Ground water status, Moisture Index, Area under rain fed agriculture, Drinking water situation in the area, 

Percentage of degraded land, Productivity potential of land, Continuity of another watershed that has already developed/treated, Cluster Approach for hilly 

terrain. Based on these thirteen parameter a composite ranking has been given to the watershed project as given in Table no. 3. 

The total number of families under BPL is 299, which is less than 20 per cent of total households of the village. Hence a score of 2.5 is allotted. The 

percentage of schedule castes in the village is less than 20 per cent to the total population; hence a score of 3 is allotted. Rain fed agriculture forms the primary 

occupation of the village due to the fact that ground water is saline and hence unfit for usage. More than 60 per cent of the farmers are small and marginal by 

nature and the actual wages earned by the labour is less than the minimum wages hence a composite rank of 3, 5 and 10 are allotted respectively. 

Since the rainfall received is erratic and irregular, the moisture index is low and the area is classified under DDP block. Drinking water is problematic in 

Rupavati village. Majority of land is degraded soil and water erosion. The soil is very permeable and production of the land can be significantly enriched with 

the availability of timely irrigation. The seven watersheds in the project cover a total area of 4565.20 Ha. Thus a cumulative score of 78.5.All the parameters 

were taken together to give a cumulative score of 106 to the watershed.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTING AGENCY 


2.1 Project Implementing Agency 


The Project Implementing Agency (PIA) is being selected by an appropriate mechanism by State Level Nodal Agency (SLNA). PIAs would be responsible for 

implementation of watershed project. These PIAs may include relevant line departments, autonomous organizations under State/ Central Governments, 

Government Institutes/ Research bodies, Intermediate Panchayats, Voluntary Organizations (VOs).The PIA of IWMP-II watershed Project is District watershed 

development Unit, Rajkot. 

2.2 About District Watershed Development Unit, Rajkot. 

2.2.1 The organization and its objectives: 

The District Watershed Development Unit (DWDU), Rajkot is a district level nodal agency and was established on 12th June 2008 under constitution of Para 

30 of new guideline, to oversee for the smooth implementation of watershed projects in the district. The District Development Officer (DDO) is the chairman of 

the DWDU. The DWDU have dedicated and experience staffs comprising one Project Manager (deputation from Gujarat Forest Department), a technical expert 

(on contract basis) and multidisciplinary team of civil engineer, agriculture expert, community mobilization expert and computer operator. The remaining staff 

i.e. MIS coordinator, system analyst, Livestock specialist will be recruited very soon. The DWDU Rajkot has its own rented office near Junction plot 5, Prakash 

Niketan. 

The functions of DWDU: 

a) Take up the over all responsibility of facilitating preparation of strategic and annual action plans for watershed development projects in the district. 

b) Providing professional and technical support to Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs) in planning and execution of watershed development projects. 

c) Develop action plans for capacity building with close involvement of resource organizations to execute the capacity building action plans. 

d) Carry out regular monitoring, evaluation and learning. 

e) Ensure smooth flow of funds to watershed development projects. 



f) Ensure timely submission of required documents to SLNA/Nodel Agency of the Department at central level. 

g) Facilitate and co-ordination with relevant programmes of agriculture, horticulture, rural development, animal husbandry, etc with watershed development 

and convergence plans for enhancement of productivity and livelihoods interventions for asset less persons. 

h) Integrate and co-ordinate watershed development projects/plans into district plans of the district planning committees. 

i) Establish and maintain the District Level Date Cell and link it to the State Level and National Level Data Centre. 

Moreover, the DWDU, Rajkot is working as a PIA for three IWMP projects. 

2.2.2 Programmes/projects running in the district 

At present nine IWMP projects have been sanctioned by Government of India for the Rajkot district. The entry point activities of all the nine IWMP projects 

have identified by the respective PIAs in the district. Rajkot Normal Forest Division as PIA for the four projects (IWMP-IV, V, VII & VIII), Rajkot Social 

Forest division as PIA for two (IWMP-I & VI) projects and DWDU-self is as PIA for the three projects (IWMP-II, III & IX). 

Apart from running nine IWMP projects, total 748 pre-Hariyali & Hariyali projects (DDP & IWDP) has been sanctioned and out of that 348 projects are 

completed and 400 projects are still running in the district. DWDU Rajkot is also monitoring a central government sponsored scheme on "Artificial Recharge of 

Groundwater through Dug wells" in the district which is spread over nine talukas. 



2.3 SWOT Analysis of the DWDU 

Strength: 

(1) Dedicated and experience staffs and multidisciplinary team 

(2) Independent District Level Nodal Agency. 

(3) Strong linkages with national and state level institutions, agricultural universities, Saurastra University, KVK and NGOs for capacity building and technical 

guidance 

(4) Scientific planning in watershed projects with the help of BISAG, Gandhinagar 

(5) District level monitoring, coordination Committee 

(6) Well establishment of PRIs for social audits for transparency and accountability. 

Weakness: 

(1) Insufficient funds to complete watershed projects per hectare. 

(2) Permanent staff is less in numbers. 

(3) No permanent office building. 

Opportunities: 

(1) Sustainable livelihood generation for landless and asset less persons. 

(2) Improvement of socio-economic status of poor. 

(3) Awareness generation among the beneficiaries through information, education and communication activities. 

(4) Reduction in migration rate. 

(5) Usage of new technologies of watershed modeling and GPS for monitoring of watershed activities. 


Threats: 


(1) Shallow soil depth that make difficult for horticultural plants in fields. 

(2) Lack of sustainable agricultural development package. 

(3) Lack of voluntary contribution and cooperation from local peoples. 

(4) One of the foreseen challenges was "to overcome vested interests (including party politics, village factions) at village level and to reach out to the poorest 

in the watersheds"

3.1.2 Soil and topography 

Nearly 90 % of the geographical are is comprised of shallow to medium deep black cotton soils having depth upto 0.6-0.75 mt top soil. Rest 10 % is either 

sandy loam or moorum soil. The soil is slightly reddish to very brown in surface colour. By large soils are well drained with 

moderate water holding 

capacity. From sustainable development perspectives, what is alarming the steady decline in the soil quality due to sheet erosion. There has a considerable 

reduction in the application of farm yard manure resulting in reduced in moisture retention capacity and porosity in the soils. Generally the organic carbon 

content too is very low. Lack of water conservation measures at the field and at the community level has led to the acceleration of environmental degradation. 

The increasing dependency on external input has increased the vulnerability of agriculture such that even small stresses and fluctuations in the environment lead 

to instability and threatens farming livelihoods. The topography of the area is moderate ranging from 0-10 % slope.

The project area is completely dependent on rainfall. The rainfall is scanty which has resulted in recurrent phenomenon of drought two to three years. The 

average rainfall of this area is about 793 mm. The area faces continual crop failure that comes on whenever there is a shortfall in the total quantum of rain. 

However, even more serious are the gaps in rain even in years when the total rainfall is considered normal. These gaps at crucial periods in the crop growth 

cycle can prove fatal for the crop. However, through careful water harvesting, in-situ moisture conservation and a drought-proofing strategy of dryland 

agriculture, these gaps can easily be plugged and the crops saved. 


3.1.3 Slope 


The slope of the watershed was calculated based on topographic elevation (contours and spot height) from satellite maps and provided by BISAG, Gandhinagar. 

These maps will help in recommendation/implementation of suitable land management practices in association of other thematic information.

3.2 Land and Agriculture 

The average land holding is about 5.69 ha. The total net shown area is 7079 ha where in more than 201.4 ha, 2 times farming is done in the whole cluster. The 

main crops under agriculture are Cotton, Garlic, Groundnut, Wheat, Cumin, Juwar and Black gram. Some of the farmers take up rainfed Castor if the rains are 

good. Now a days farmers has started growing vegetables on small patches of lands in (Rabi) season for which water is fetched either from the well or check 

dam.The land conservation measures such as earthen bunds and farm bunds in the area will help them to take up a Rabi crop of gram or cumin in the residual 

moisture. Since last 3-4 yrs Bt. cotton farming taking place at a higher rate.

3.2.1 Irrigation 

The irrigated area is 570 ha, which is 7.25% of the total agricultural area of the village. Main source of irrigation is from previously constructed dugout 

ponds/percolation tanks. A few farmers get irrigation to their field by check dams and from earthen dams which were previously constructed by different 

departments. Some farmers of Satapar get water for irrigation from the main dugout pond cum earthen dam, which is situated on the east side of the village.

Crop details and Productivity: The productivity is low not because that the land is unproductive or the farmer's lack the skills to managing their crop but it 

is due lack of source of irrigation, salty water and scarcity of rain. 

The cluster villages come under draught prone zone. So farmers grow crop according to the rainfall. If they get good rainfall they generally grow high value 

crops as discussed above. In case of low rainfall they go for cotton, castor, pearl millet. So we can say that monsoon decides cropping patterns of the project villages.

Reasons of comparatively low productivity of various crops 

Over a period of time by continuous usage of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, there is deterioration in the quality of soil particularly reduction of 

carbon content and increase of salinity. One of the reasons ascribed to low response of bio-fertilizers in dry lands is their low status of soil organic matter. 

Rejuvenation of soil characteristics is an important area to tackle, with specific emphasis on recovery of its nutritional value. More thrust need to be given 

on adopting methods such as multi-cropping, rotation of crops and organic farming. Organic farming, nutrient management continues to be a focal issue in 



dry lands as the fertilizer use is not likely to pick up significantly unless water supply is assured. Soil fertility in dry lands can be sustained only through 

maintenance of organic matter and achieving better fertilizer-use efficiency through integration of moisture-conservation practices along with soil-fertility 

management. 

Quality of Seeds: Good quality seed, fertilizer and pesticide are important factor in agriculture productivity. The use of good quality leads to higher land 

productivity. In project villages, however, there are two limitations in the use of fertilizer. First these fertilizers are most useful in irrigated condition. The 

agricultural land of the cluster villages however totally depend on rainfall. In villages mostly farmers use nitrogenous fertilizers especially urea. This has 

resulted in disproportionate use of fertilizer depleting the quality of land. 

Traditional farming methods: This is the factor that leads low productivity. There is lot of ignorance about the use of new farming methods and 

technologies such as multiple cropping. 

Erratic/Low rainfall: The Villagers mainly depend on monsoon. Without monsoon they cannot get any crop because irrigation water is salty .Water is essential input in 

agriculture. Due to the absence of proper irrigation facility, 100% of the total cultivated area depends on the uncertain 

monsoon. Therefore the success or failure of the monsoon determines the success or failure of agriculture production. The rains, as a source of irrigation, are 

unreliable due to two factors; 

Untimely Rainfall: The rains are sometimes received when the crops are ready for harvesting. The ready crop may be ruined due to untimely rain. 

Inadequate Rainfall: The dependence on the uncertain rainfall is a factor that contributes to low productivity of land. 

3.3 Livestock 

The cluster villages have total of 1162 cows and 1372 number of buffaloes out of which majority are of local breed, there are 1645 bullocks, 375 goats, 459 

sheep and 900 animals in others category. Due saline water at a shallow depth and surface water has reduced the fodder and pasture area for their animals. 

This leads to heavy migration to other parts of the state with their herds of goats and sheep. The productivity of the dairy animals is so low that there is no 

dairy co-operative in the village.

3.4 Drinking water 

Drinking water is the one of the major problem in the watershed villages due to irregular rainfall and decrease in water table of groundwater. Main causes 

of decrease in water table of groundwater are due to improper use of water. Irregular rainfall is due to jungle cutting and whether condition.

Household & Field Survey 



3.5 Socio-Economic Profile 

3.5.1 Demographic Status: Cluster villages have total family of 2513 numbers. There are 12349 persons in the project villages (From the door to door survey 

report), out of which 6519 male and 5830 female members. The sex ratio is 894 females to 1000 males. The average family size is 4.91 percent. Seven major 

caste systems prevail in the village namely: Patel, Darbar, Shephred, Koli, Brahmin, Ahir, Muslims and Harijans. Around 10% of the population of the cluster 

villages belongs to SC families. Majority of population is involved in agriculture and animal husbandry and business.

3.5.2 Migration Pattern: The declining yield and product, steady erosion of soil fertility and diminishing returns to the farmers and almost zero 

investment on land development has set in motion a dynamic problem of degradation. Many small and marginal seek alternate livelihood means and work 

as wage labour in nearby areas. Low rainfall results in very little fodder availability in the locality. On account of agricu lture and animal husbandry 

providing only part time employment for some part of the year, the people migrate for a better half of the year for wage labour. Migrate to nearby cities like 

Shapar, Gondal, Rajkot and parts of Suarashtra as daily wages agricultural labours and factory workers. Lack of fodder availability and grazing land for smaller 

ruminant also forces these farmers to migrate to other places.

3.5.3 Infrastructure facilities 

All the seven watershed villages are well connected with Gondal-Kotda taluka with pucca roads. Each village has electricity connectivity under Jyotigram 

`Yojana of the State Government. Nearly 91 percent of households in the villages have their personal electric meters. The villages have primary school with all 

facilities like three personal computers. For middle and higher secondary education, the students have to go to Gondal which is about 15 kilometres away from 

cluster villages. The cluster villages have a Primary Health Centre. Each village comes under their individual Gram Panchayat with Panchayat office at all 

cluster villages.

3.5.4 Livelihood pattern: The villagers earn their livelihood from animal husbandry and agriculture and during lean seasons they go as daily wage labourers 

at Dimond polishing, oil-engine industries and ginning mill to Shapar and Gondal . Another major occupation of the people is business and service and working 

in construction work and diamond polishing industries.

CHAPTER - 4 

WATERSHED ACTIVITIES 


Watershed Activities 


Watershed management as a strategy has been adopted by Government of India especially in the rain fed regions of semi-arid tropics. These regions are 

characterized by low and un-dependable rain, low soil fertility, poor infrastructure development, low literacy and comparatively high incidence of migration. 

The low fertility of crops results in lower productivity of crops which have a very low biological efficiency. 

Several studies have identified that there is a dire need of a systematic and scientific approach to deal with watershed development. The common guidelines 

generate a fresh and flexible framework for the next generation watershed development. 

4.1. Scientific Planning: 

i) Cluster Approach 

This envisages a broader vision of Geo-hydrological unit which involves treating a cluster of micro-watershed. The project consists of nineteen microwatersheds 

namely 5G1B8 b2g, 5G1B8 b2f, 5G1B8 b2b, 5G1B8 b2h,5G1B8b2j, 5G1B8b2d, 5G1B8 b2e, 5G1B9 a1d, 5G1B9 a1b, 5G1B9 a2c, 5G1B9 a2d, 

5G1B9 a2e, 5G1B9 a2f, 5G1B9 a2g, 5G1B9 a2p, 5G1B9 a2q, 5G1B9 a2b, 5G1B9 a2c, 5G1B9 a2h and 5G1B9 a2a with as their respective codes. 

ii) Base line Survey 

a) Door to Door Survey 

The primary data was generated through questionnaire surveys in all the villages. The questionnaire was structured so as to derive the information related to the 

objectives set forth. Mostly talked to 

• Head of the families 

• Mostly females (between 65% and 70%) 

• Mostly younger adults (Age group : 25 – 44) 

• High School education 

• Sarpanch and Talati of respective Gram Panchayats. 


• Farmers, Agricultural labours, Diamond polishing workers, oil-engine factory workers and workers of construction, ginning workers. 


• Cattle Breeders 

• Landless labour 

The questionnaire was divided into nine modules through which information is extracted pertaining to 

1. Village details 

2. Population details 

3. Water supply details 

4. Water source details within and outside the village 

5. Questions about community engagement 

6. Questions about Livelihood 

7. Awareness about Specific programme: Watershed 

8. Desire to do more activities related to occupation 

9. Productivity of farms 

The secondary data was obtained through Census reports (2001). Data pertaining to social profile is also collected through Census reports. Secondary data 

related to different kinds of capital assets were collected from different departments of Government agencies such as Revenue Office, Primary Health Center, 

Regional Forest Center (Van Sanrakshan Samiti), District Rural development Agency initiative-SGSY Programme office, working on poverty alleviation, 

Village Panchyat, other NGOs and development societies etc. 



b) Field to field Survey: Field to field survey was also carried out in the farms, community land, pasture land and land under Gram Panchayat. It also includes 

the soil profiles, no of wells in the area, crop taken in the field, cropping pattern, fertilizer used and various sources of irrigation in the field. The details of 

agriculture as well as pasture lands of the village where the existing condition and structures to be proposed, were written down. Almost all the farmers of the 

village were there to support the survey team. The purpose of the survey was also to understand water availability, patterns of water use and peoples‟ 

understanding & perceptions about both surface and groundwater resources in this area. Village agreements will be done on the basis of such detailed work. 

This also survey looked at the pattern of surface and groundwater use and the basic understanding of farmers regarding groundwater recharge and discharge. 

This understanding was expected to help in improved planning for any watershed programme and to develop longer-term protocols of groundwater 

management in respective areas. 

c) Demand survey: To know about the livelihood pattern of the village and the present status and practice capacities required are discussed. Quantitative 

involved also on possible micro enterprise development for sustainable development of village extensively for SC/ST and landless/migrated poor people. 

iii) Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) 

In order to understand the social, economic and political aspect of all the villages of the cluster, we conducted Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) 

exercise with the help of the villagers on 05 th April 2010 in Bandhiya, 5th Aug in Rupavati, 6th Aug in Shishak, 10 th Aug in Bildi, 14th Aug in Ghoghavadar, 

20th Aug in Satapar and 23rd Aug in Sandhavaya. It was really a useful tool to appreciate the village in its totality. We had the opportunity to interact with 

more than 120 numbers of people in Bandhiya village. To reach a concrete conclusion we requested a few villagers for focussed discussion and it was 

entertained. As per their convenience we conducted focussed group discussion at the Community hall and Panchayat Bhavan ground. In majority of the 

discussion, we listened to them carefully and tried to appreciate the discussion. Output generated through these exercise is placed below. 

(i) Resource Map: - Through resource map we came to know about all the residential pattern of village, community pasture land, farm areas, about the 

river etc. It also gave us a fair idea about the pasture land, other land distribution pattern and different resources of the village. 

(ii) Social Map: - After this exercise we came to know the approximate location of different institution of the village. During this exercise we also had 

informal discussions with the participants about the importance of these institutions. Important location pointed out during this exercise was Community 

Centre, Panchayat Bhavan, temple, Primary School etc. We cross checked all the location. 

(iii) Seasonal Diagram:- With this exercise we came to know about the major engagements of villagers across the twelve months of the year. We found 

that rainfed agriculture and animal husbandry keep them busy at least for seven to eight months of the year. About drinking water they informed that, situation 



in the month of March to June is really difficult. 

(iv) Tree matrix:- We came to know about different trees of the villages and their respective utilities as fruit, fuel, fodder, medicine , timber etc. Major 

trees pointed out by villagers under this exercise were Pipal, Neem, Bor, Lemon etc. Taking into consideration all the utilities it was found that the tree having 

maximum utility is Chiku and lemon. 

(v) Crop Pattern:- Agriculture is the primary source of liveihood for more than 70% household . After this exercise we came to know that there are two 

major cropping pattern Khariff and partially in Rabbi. Under Khariff cotton,castor and sesame are grown but under rabbi major crops grown are wheat, juwar 

chilly and vegetables. 

(vi) Income-Expenditure Pot: - Under this exercise we came to know about the different sources of income of villagers and how the money earned by the 

villagers is being spent under different heads. It was found that major source of earning among villagers are farming, dairy, service etc. Major expenditure 

component were food, fuel, fodder, schooling of children, medicines, festivals, relatives, and paan etc. 

One focussed group discussion was organised to understand the status of different Self help Group operating in the village. This discussion concentrated 

around the activities of SHG, terms and conditions of membership, working pattern of different SHG and their role in the development of society etc 

Another curiosity in our mind was about the political institution of the village. Apart from different institution discussion was concentrated about gram 

panchayat issue. Here the major discussion point was participation of women and deprived section of the society in the decision making process, their 

representation in the panchayat. How the panchayat facilitates the process of development and poverty alleviation. In this process its relation with different 

institution of village like dispensary, Aanganwari Kendra, Primary School and High school was also discussed. 

The whole purpose was to identify the employment opportunities available during the different seasons in a year, income, expenditure, crisis management, daily 

activities and time allotted to each activity, the leisure time of men and women, and market network for agricultural produce etc. In the gender analysis, an 

attempt was made to find out the gendered division of labour, the status of women in relation to the right to use, to own and sell different household properties, 

the means of production of the household, and the role and participation of women in decision-making at intra household and community levels. 

To identify different problems faced by villagers a separate focussed discussion was carried out. The villagers were grouped in to different types as shown 

below to know all the details of the village in a stipulated time. 



Small and marginal farmers 

Large farmers 

Landless farmers 

Women 

Gram Panchayat members

Business men and women 

Problems Identification 

After analysis the information collected during PRA exercise, the main problems identified as 

Poor fertility of soil and low agricultural productivity 

Soil Erosion from farm land 

Improper Crop Rotation 

Less use of bio-fertilizers 

Almost negligible cultivation of arid fruits 

Less cultivation of vegetables 

Low milk production 

No use of vermi compost 

Lack of value addition practices 

Less availability of fodder 

Market (No nearby) 

Migration 

Sanitation Problems 

Less Nutritional Level 

Malnutrition in few farm families 


iv) Use of GIS and Remote sensing for planning 


Remote sensing and GIS plays an important role in the study of natural resources and helps in planning water resources development. One of the greatest 

advantages of using remote sensing data for hydrological investigations and monitoring is its ability to generate information in spatial and temporal domain, 

which is very crucial for successful analysis, prediction and validation Use of various high science tools has been promoted at various stages of watershed 

development. 

a) Prioritization 

Geographical Information System (GIS) has been used for prioritization process. Various layer maps were created like Geo-morphological, Soil, BPL 

Population, SC/ST population, Ground water Status, Drinking water situation Slope percent. These were all given proper weightage according to the DoLR 

specification. This helped in prioritization of various watershed areas. 

b) Planning 

A action plan matrix was been formulated by State Level Nodal Agency(SLNA) taking into account various features like the slope percent, soil Depth, Soil 

Texture, Soil erosion in the area for wasteland, forest land and agricultural land. 

Global positioning System (GPS) was used to identify each and every water conservation structures available in the project area. This will be used to create a 

map. Contour Map of vertical interval of 1 meter at a scale of 1:8000 was used for identifying various location specific for soil and water conservation structures. 

c) Hydrological modelling 

Hydrology modelling technique has been used for locating drainage, stream length, flow direction, sink, and flow accumulation. This model overlaid over 

cadastral map hel to calculate the catchment area of each structures like the check dam with the help of contour map provided by BISAG and physical survey 

on site. This has helped to remove the human error which generally occurring while calculating the catchment area of a check dam.

(WC) 

This is the general body of the residents constituted by Gram sabha of the watershed as well as farmers who own land within the watershed area registered 

under society Registration Act 1860. The first gram sabha meeting was held on 12th January 2010 in Sandhvaya, 13 th January 2010, in Shishak, 12 th January 

2010 in Satapar, 1 st February 2010 in Ghoghavadar, 3 rd February 2010 in Bandhiya, 30 th December 2009 in Rupavati, and 29th January 2010 in Bildi where the 

watershed committee was formed taking in to account all caste, women representation and Gram panchayat members .Both President and Secretary of WC were 

selected after the first Watershed Committee meeting was held. The secretary will be a paid functionary of the watershed committee.The Watershed Committee 

with the help of the Watershed Development Team (WDT) shall facilitate resource-use agreements among the user groups based on the principle of equity and 

sustainability. Capacity building training to the watershed committee will be provided by WDT member. The watershed committee has a pivotal during various 

processes like the PRA and overall planning of various points.

ii) Self Help Group 


We believe that the full potential of our watershed work can only be raised if it is supplemented by a microfinance programme . This is 

essential if we are to ensure long-term livelihood security to the poor. We are also convinced that no microfinance programme can be 

successful until it is tied up with livelihood programme such as agriculture, dairying, marketing and enterprise development etc. Thus 

microfinance and livelihood programme are complementary to each other and their simultaneous implementation is the key to poverty 

alleviation. Incomes raised through livelihood initiatives need to be saved. Of these women are the best custodians. Self Help Group are 

motivated, Small homogenous group organized together through highly successful of credit and thrift activities. These savings must be reinvested in 

livelihood options that in turn raise incomes, setting up various cycles. Generally self help group includes landless and marginal sized farm 

women, BPL household, SC/ST women. 

SHG initiative in watershed villages is being organized by having a focused group discussion between various homogenous communities of women based 

on their livelihood separately. With a view point of different problems related to rural credit, it was planned to organize these women into a group consisting 

of 10 to 13 in each groups and it was also proposed to have 85 groups.

iii) User Group: 


These are homogeneous groups of persons having landholding within the watershed area. They are normally formed to manage an activity or asset on a long 

term basis. The user group collects user charges from their members. Some of the points which were considered while forming a user group were: 

1) In case of a check dam all the beneficiaries of the individual check dam were involved as user group members. 

2) In case of Fodder bank all the individual beneficiaries of animal husbandry are considered as potential members. 

3) Khadi based cottage industry, Papad making user groups for micro enterprise activities 

4) Membership was on voluntary and democratic. 

Focused group discussion was conducted to between the user groups to discuss the above conditions and to select potential members. It was advocated that 

each group to formulate certain internal rules and have a feeling of ownership with community spirit. 

Table No. 33: The following types of groups were planned to be formed 

S. No Name of User Group (land based) Major Task

4.3. Physical activities to be undertaken under IWMP-II 


4.3.1 Entry Point activity (EPA) 

EPA activities are certain important works which are in urgent demand of the local community. This helps in establishment of credibility of watershed 

Development Team (WDT). It also acts as a rapport building activity of the village community. A group Discussion was conducted with watershed 

Development Committee regarding the EPA activity, it was conveyed to the amount of Rs. 6.12 lakh in Ghoghavadar,rupavati,Sandhavaya,Bandhiya,Satapar, 

Shisgak,bildiin , 31.07 lakh was allotted for EPA activity, which was 4 per cent of total allocated budget. The villagers discussed various activities which they 

felt is important but after a brief discussion it was conveyed to them that only those activities can taken, which revive the common natural resources. It was 

also taken into priority that there should be a instrument of convergence which will result in sustainability of activities.

4.3.2. Watershed Development Works: 

Watershed development works is to be done during implementation phase of watershed. Treatments begin from the highest point of the watershed and move 

progressively downwards (ridge to valley), starting with the smallest stream and culminating in the main river of the watershed. Work is location-specific, varying 

according to slope and geology as also the size of the stream being treated. The aim is to weave interventions into the contours of nature, not to seek mastery over it. A 

net budget of 50 percent is allotted for this work. 

Ridge Area Treatment Plans 

In a watershed, the slopes falling from the ridge to the beginning of the plains are called ridge area. It is very important to treat the higher reaches of the ridge has 

this is where the major water resources originate. This involves mainly highly and forest region in the watershed. Various watershed managing structures should 

be build to arrest the erosion and degradation of forest with grasses in upper ridges. 

1. Boulder Checks 

2. Gabions3 

3. Grass seedling/planatation 


1. Boulder Checks 


Boulder checks or gully plugs are loose rock dams made on small drainage lines or seasonal streams which have a catchment area of less than 50 ha. It is 

adopted where the water velocity is high and where basically stone available with in radius of 100-150 m from the site. The main aim of constructing loose boulder 

checks is to reduce the velocity of water flowing through the drainage line. By reducing the velocity of runoff, boulder checks help in: 

1. Reducing soil erosion; 

2. Trapping silt which slows the rate of siltation in water harvesting structures in the lower reaches of the watershed. 

3. Creating a hydraulic head locally which enhances infiltration of surface runoff into the groundwater system; and 

4. Increasing the duration of flow in the drainage line. Therefore, the capacity of the water harvesting structures created downstream on the drainage line is utilized more 

fully as they get many more refills. 

2. Gabions 

Gabion structures are rock and wire dams constructed across drainage lines with a catchment area of 50-500 ha. They are also constructed to reinforce highly erodible 

stream embankments. The main aim of constructing gabion structures is to reduce the velocity of water flowing through the drainage line. By reducing the velocity 

of runoff, gabion structures help in 

1. Reduction in soil erosion 

2. Trapping silt, which reduces the rate of siltation in water harvesting structures in the lower reaches of the watershed. 

3. Increasing recharge of groundwater and 

4. Increasing the duration of flow in the drainage line. Therefore, the capacity of the water harvesting structures created downstream on the drainage line is 

utilized more fully as they get many more refills. 

Drainage line Treatment and water harvesting: 

The second tier treatment is the slope treatment. This is generally agricultural land or waste lands. These are generally water conservation or surface water 

storage structures. These being highly labour intensive will involve more of manual labour so schemes like National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme 

(NREGS) can be taken. Following structures has been proposed in the project villages. 

1. Check dams/Causeway cum check dams 

2. Waste Weir 


1. Check dams 


Check dams are constructed across small streams having slope the selected should have sufficient thickness of permeable bed or weathered formation to 

facilitate recharge of stored water within short span of time. The water stored in these structures is mostly confined to stream course and the height is normally 

less than 2m and excess water is allowed to flow over the wall in order to avoid scouring from excess runoff water cushions are provided at downstream side. 

To harness the maximum run off in the stream series of such check dams are to be constructed to have recharge on regional scale in project villages. 

2. Waste weirs 

These are constructed for giving a safe passage to the excess runoff from the field and also store some amount of water in the field. The water stored in these 

structures is mostly confined in field and height is normally less than 0. 5 mt. and excess water is allowed to flow over the wall. 

Plains or Flat level/Field level: 

1. Farm pond 

2. Irrigation/Percolation dam 

3. Farm bund 

4. Trench excavation and Refilling for reducing salinity ingress 

5. Afforestation 

1) Farm Pond: 

There is very little qualitative difference between a pond/ tank, which usually serves the population of a village, and farm pond, which serves an individual 

agricultural field. Farms ponds greatly vary in size depending upon the rainfall. These have only a few meters of length and width and are built across the flow 

path of natural drainage channels. Surplus water from one pond spills over to a lower pond. In some cases a series of farm ponds are built on one single stream. 

Each pond caters to the irrigation needs of one farm and also augments ground water recharge. Percolation Dam: Percolation dams are constructed for 

recharging groundwater. Such structures are usually made on the upper part of the catchment area. Water stored here percolates to wells and tubewells located 

in the lower part of the catchment. Such dams can also be made in the immediate upstream portion of wells and tubewells. Depending on the capacity of the 

dam and duration of water storage, the dam can have secondary benefits (such as pisciculture) that are vital for the livelihood security of marginal farmers and 

landless labourers. 


2) Irrigation/Percolation dam 

a) Irrigation Dam: Such dams can be constructed to meet two different kinds of demands. 

of storing water during the rainy season to be used for irrigation in the post-monsoon period. 


of providing protective irrigation during dry spells within the rainy season. Most parts of India typically receive rainfall between June and 

September, very intensely within a few hours and a few days. The number of rainy days does not average more than 40-50. Moreover, rains are 

extremely erratic, often characterised by late onset and early withdrawal. Prolonged dry spells during the rainy season, resulting in agricultural 

droughts, are also frequent. Hence, the kharif crop needs to be drought-proofed through 'protective' irrigation, applied to overcome accumulated 

soil moisture deficits within the rainy season. Such structures are especially important in areas which are poor in groundwater resources and 

which do not have access to canal irrigation. Such areas form about half of India's agricultural area. 

b). Percolation Tank: Percolation dams are constructed for recharging groundwater. Such structures are usually made on the upper part of the catchment area. 

Water stored here percolates to wells and tube wells located in the lower part of the catchment. Such dams can also be made in the immediate upstream portion 

of wells and tube wells. Depending on the capacity of the dam and duration of water storage, the dam can have secondary benefits (such as pisciculture) that are 

vital for the livelihood security of marginal farmers and landless labourers. 

3) Farm bund 

Farm bunds are constructed on agricultural land with the aim of arresting soil erosion and improving the soil moisture profile. Ideally, bunds on farms should be 

made on the contour line. But this creates several problems for farmers. Contour bunds divide the field into irregular sections. In such a situation, it becomes 

inconvenient to maneuver bullocks for operations such as ploughing and line-sowing. 

4) Afforestation 

Emphasis is placed on maximizing the use of available land and resources with high yield tree species. Trees can either be of similar species or mixed in a 

manner that will result in a stand or forest. Depending on the climate, geographical layout of the area and the soil conditions, trees that have the greatest growth 

potential are selected like Babool, Neem, Sesame and Ailanthus.

Bio-Gas 

The idea is to use cattle dung and kitchen soft waste and waste water to produce bio gas in a bio reactor. The unmanaged cattle dung can be managed properly if 

fed into a bio reactor. The reactor produces bio gas which is about 60% methane and 40 % carbon dioxide along with traces of other gases. This is used as 

cooking fuel and for lighting in some cases in place of traditional inefficient wood and kerosene stove. Biogas is a clean and efficient fuel. Because of the 

biogas the need for collecting firewood is avoided. The cooking is speeded up and time on cooking is reduced. Women have spare time to take care of their 

children and their education. A portion of their spare time is spent on sustainable income generating activities. 

Impact on natural resources 

· Reduction of pressure on the forest, as the families will use less wood (or no wood at all) to cook. There is an important deforestation in the district, and 

villagers, who went 2km from the village to collect wood. 

· Restoration of soil fertility 

The chemical fertilizers are damaging the soil fertility, and the annual crop yields are decreasing. Studies have shown that when vermin-compost is used, the 

crops increased of 13%. 

· Control of local water contamination 

Leaching of organic wastes and chemical fertilizers can occur when they are not managed. It will manage organic wastes and reduces the use of chemical 

fertilizers these risks are lessened.

AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME 

Our understanding is that without addressing the crucial area of end-use regulation, no amount of rainwater harvesting is going to work. For this the most 

important requirement is the working out of a sustainable package of practices for dryland agriculture. This is moreover an alternative to the Green Revolution, 

which largely bypassed the drylands or is completely inappropriate for them. It is believed that the economy must be viewed as a sub-system of the larger ecosystem, 

which comprises not merely human beings but also natural resources and non-human species. 

The watershed village area has seen penetration of Green Revolution (GR) inputs in agriculture, which is the main occupation of the people. Cotton that was the 

main crop of the area is becoming completely unviable because of high pesticide costs. Despite excessive use of pesticides, pestilence remains an intractable 

problem. The inputs available to them are often sub-quality. For example, local dealers dispose of expired pesticides to illiterate farmers. Farmers are in general 

suffering because of high input costs. However, their problem is that they perceive no alternative to the GR package. What is worse, the catchment areas have 

suffered severe denudation of forest cover in recent years. This has raised the rate of soil erosion and surface runoff. Biodiversity has also been adversely 

affected. There is a fodder and fuel crisis in the area. In the recent 3-year drought, the worst impact was on cattle. Within this context, our attempt (see Figure 

below) is to forge several new links within the elements of the natural resource base of the area (climate, rainfed agriculture, wastelands, forests, and crop 

residues, animal and human wastes and decentralized energy sources). With soil and water conservation technologies, surface runoff is minimised which 

improves the level of soil moisture. Loss of essential soil nutrients is also reduced. And harvested runoff is recycled to agricultural land through water 

harvesting structures. The utilisation of soil moisture through vegetative systems strengthens the flows of fodder, firewood. Non-woody biomass from the 

regenerated forests and commons, as well as part of the crop residues, is returned to the soil through microbial decomposition. Revegetation of the commons 

also provides material for direct incorporation into soil as green manure. Animal wastes are directed to biogas plants, from which bio-energy is supplied either 

to the households for cooking. The organic residue from the biogas plant (digested slurry) goes to enrich the soil as a nitrogen- rich fertiliser. 

These are the major components in the agricultural programme to be carried out in the Programme: 

Seed distribution 

Seed multiplication 

Trials and Demonstrations 


Screening of new varieties 


Popularisation of a package of agricultural practices 

Floriculture 

Horticultural plantation 

Non Pesticide Management 

Vermicomposting 

Phoenix/datepalm plantation along the stream banks on farm bunds 

Jatropha plantation along fencing and on wastelands 

Afforestation 

Our effort has been to introduce a complete alternative to hybrid seeds and the Green Revolution package and practices as listed above. As a trial of the 

recommended practice of intercropping of different crops, farmers of the project area were chosen for Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs). These demonstrations 

attempt to make certain type of crop varieties popular again by showing the possibility of intercropping with a cash crop. The model, thus, attempts to show the 

households the possibility of getting some extra cash income while ensuring food security. In collaboration with ICRISAT, Hyderabad, Junagarh Agricultural 

University, KVK-Targharia, Rajkot and Kutch, we will carry out trials of composite varieties of different crops as trail or demonstration plot. Seeds of varieties 

identified as suitable to the area will be disseminated to more than 100 farmers in watershed villages. Then attempt is to a comparative assessment of some of 

these varieties based on a detailed feedback obtained from the farmers of the area. This feedback will be then provided to scientists who devised these seeds. 

The Livestock Development Programme 

Many new initiatives in the field of veterinary care, fodder development, training programmes will be taken up that will bring the two villages in the 

diary map. Many of theses initiatives yielded results much beyond what we had hoped to achieve, however the year was also one of introspection in terms of 

the absence of a the leap in dairy development that we were expecting from the old routes. 


Loans to SHG members/UG groups 


The special loans for purchase of cattle will be made available to members in the location. Members will be given loans before the summer season. 

Members have to procure good quality animals. Veterinary support services will be provided by the veterinary hospitals and in animal husbandry camps. 

Accordingly members will be selected by the criteria fixed by the group. Breeds suitable for the area will be brought. 

Creation of a Risk Fund 

The livestock development programme will set up a risk fund to take care of an accidental death of the animals. Members who avail of cattle loans will 

contribute some amount towards a risk fund. In the event of death of the animal during the loan repayment period, money pooled in the risk fund can be used to 

help the member repay the loan outstanding. 

Veterinary Services 

Veterinary services will be provided in the cluster villages. The cluster was chosen for the reason that most families in the area are landless or nearlandless. 

They are highly dependent on small ruminants like cows, buffaloes and other cattle. Vaccination camps will be conducted time to time against chronic 

diseases in the larger animals. The location also will be provided with successful Artificial insemination (AI) services, relying on the supplies provided by the 

government veterinary hospital in Gondal, Kotda 

The pregnant cow care programme was a concept borrowed from the Vasudhara Dairy, Valsad, Gujarat. This will be launched with the primary aim of 

demonstrating that the productivity of the local cows could be increased with appropriate feeding practices. Within this programme, veterinary professionals 

would first identify local cows which are pregnant and have around two more months to go before parturation. Once the animals were identified and if the 

owner was willing the animals were put on an intensive feeding and care programme for a three month period, from the start of the programme to one month 

after parturition. The cost per animal works out to Rs. 3700.The farmer would contribute the dry fodder and green fodder, in kind. Towards the costs of inputs 

procured from the market (works out to Rs. 1350), the costs were borne in the ratio 60:40 between WCs and the farmer. Farmers from the project villages will 

be motivated to participate in the programme. 

Infertility in cattle is a major problem faced by the farmers in the area. This leads to huge economic losses for the farmer. In order to counter this 

problem an infertility programme will be also launched wherein the animals with this problem were segregated into two main groups after a detailed survey. 

The treatment consists of two stages, the idea being to reduce the cost to the farmer if the problem can be resolved at the first stage itself using cheaper 

medicines and proper feeding. 


Training and Exposure visits 


A large group of people, consisting mainly of women dairy farmers who will take loans for purchase of cattle, will visit the successful dairy 

cooperatives under the Vasudhara dairy, Valsad and the Panchmahal dairy, Godhra. These cooperatives were chosen mainly for the reason that many of the 

successful dairy farmers in these areas are small farmers belonging to various tribal communities. These dairies had also built up their business on the hard 

work of women farmers who had taken loans from the SHGs run by the cooperative union to buy cattle. The interaction will be helpful as dairy co-operative 

members in other district will make them to understand how those women, with a similar background, had been able to build up a good livelihood option 

revolving around the dairy. 

Training addressing the issue of infertility in animals will be provided to beneficiary group. Three day training cum exposure visit will be organized for the 

team and some farmers to the BAIF organization. The visit will provide a first hand view of the options open to dryland farmers to ensure the availability of 

good quality fodder. The farmers who had adopted such practices demonstrated how it could help in cutting down the cost of feed concentrates. 

One day training on azolla cultivation, as a means of providing high protein feed to livestock, will be organized by KVK. Scientist from the KVK, will 

demonstrate the simple method by which azolla could be grown in the backyard of farmers. Demonstration pits are expected to set up in the demonstration plot 

of farmers.

Promotion of micro-enterprises and various income generation activities is an important aspect of empowerment. Although it is extremely difficult to find 

remunerative self employment, there are enormous untapped opportunities in the rural sector. These include both on-farm and off-farm opportunities. Typically 

families living below poverty line, SC, ST and landless in a cluster of villages are motivated to take part in holistic development through livelihood 

opportunities through multidisciplinary interventions. 

Advantages of Agro-Based Activities: While promoting various income generation activities, agro-based activities have advantages because of the following 

reasons: 

1. Target groups are acquainted with most of the basic skills. 

2. Easy access to inputs. 

3. No problems of marketing, as most of the outputs are locally consumed as food. 

4. As over 50-60 % of the rural families own land and livestock, income generation activities can be initiated immediately without heavy capital investment. 

5. Risk of failure due to improper technology, poor quality, low demand and poor price recovery are very low. Hence, the chances of success are high. 

6. Infrastructure required for promotion of on-farm activities has been very well established. Hence, the entrepreneurs can progress even in backward regions, 

which are deprived of regular power supply and electronic information connectivity. It is therefore advantageous to tap all the opportunities to promote various 

on-farm activities. The experience has confirmed that the best strategy to promote income generation activities through SHGs is to analyze the on-going agrobased 

activities undertaken by the members and introduce suitable interventions to enhance the production. There are also excellent opportunities to improve 

post production management of the produce through grading, storage, processing and marketing. 

Various micro-enterprises activities through UG and Self Help Groups will be promoted. The list of micro-enterprises taken up by various SHGs is presented 

below. Among these activities, agriculture followed by animal husbandry, Khadi making units and food processing. However, over a period of time, 

agriculture, animal husbandry and food processing supercede the trade as many individuals participate in enhancing their production at the family level and try 

to organize themselves to market them collectively. Other activities such as production of utility items, construction related activities, handicrafts and Moti 

work find it difficult to sustain due to poor marketing infrastructure, lack market and competition from other sources. 

Support Needed for Promotion of Micro-enterprises 

Following support is needed to promote micro-enterprises through women SHGs. 

1. Motivation of the target communities, particularly women and landless farmers 

2. Formation of Self Help Groups and their Federations 

3. Gender sensitization 


4. Training and capacity building 

5. Micro-finance. Provision of credit facilities and linkage with banks 


6. Development of infrastructure, particularly through the SHG Federations to provide necessary support services and marketing 

7. Trade networking and establishment of market outlets 

8. Village level Information Centre: The multi-disciplinary team interacted with the SHGs and User groups to explore the potentials for development of various 

enterprises and extend necessary support for dissemination of technologies, procurement of inputs, training of members and establishment of linkage with the 

market. There should be some agency to provide guidance to the entrepreneurs as and when needed. 

The selected production activities for the watershed villages follow the above-mentioned process, and are selected in such a way that they should be: 

economically viable 

environmentally sustainable 

socially equitable 

energy efficient 

employment generation 

Production System-1: Papad production units 

For women to become a successful entrepreneur, she needs access to capital, technical and managerial know-how and market. The essence to empower rural 

women lies in catalyzing appropriate economic activities at the grass root level and creating new opportunities for them to earn higher income in order ton 

improve their standard of living. This objective could be accomplished by establishing enterprises that are based on the locally available resources and 

preferably indigenous knowledge. Self Help Groups (SHG), each with 10-20 members, will be motivated and proper training will be provided for each micro 

enterprise activity which will improve the quality of their own lives as well as the lives of those around them. 

Introduction 

Papad is delicious snack. It is consumed at homes, restaurants, hotels, etc. Papad is a traditional item consumed in all functions. Traditionally this 

activity was confined to household papad making but in view of increasing demand and availability of machinery (mechanisation) it has now been developed in 

cottage and small scale sector. Enterprise can be started by 2 family members and optimum machinery. 

Market 

Field survey findings indicated that papad industry has good potential in big centers in cities like Morbi and Maliya miyana of Rajkot areas. There is a 

good demand for papads because it is a food product and commonly consumed commodity in all households and hotels. Women entrepreneurs can gainfully 

take up this papad unit in their houses but proper packing and distribution network is necessary to sell in bulk quantities. 



Manufacturing Process 

Generally weighed quantity of floor is taken in a mixer. A solution of common salt and carbonates is added in requisite quantity of water and the 

contents are kneaded at maximum speed to get a homogenous lump of the dough. After resting the dough for 30 minutes, it is divided into balls. These are 

pressed into circular discs. Corn starch can be used as dusting material to prevent stickiness. The papads are usually dried. After drying, it is packed in various 

size packing. Lot of 25 or 50 papads is then packed in polythene bags. Papad can be manufactured from different varieties of pulses or there could be a 

combination of pulses as well. Ingredients required for Papad making are Black gram, oil, sodium carbonate, flour of Arhar dal.

Production System-2: Dairy Buffalo Farming 

Estimated Project cost for Dairy Buffalo farming of one unit 

Farming is a complex, multi-component, interactive process that is dependant in land, animal, human and natural resources as well as capital investment. 

Sustainable agriculture embraces all such aspects of farming system. Small and marginal land holders can reap the benefit. In this context live stock is an 

important component. 

Dairy farming scheme can be taken up in the semi-urban, village and near highway villages, for the sake on transportation, breeding and marketing facilities. 

Since milk is an easily perishable item, it is to be immediately consumed or sold, so the farms needs to be located in the consuming centre itself. The scheme 

provides for purchase of one milch animal, construction of byre, feeding equipments and water tank. Cost of feed for one year and the insurance premium for 

the first year has also been capitalised. The recurring expenditures include cost of feed and medicines, water and electricity charges and insurance fees. The 

concentrated feeds will be supplemented with green grasses and fodder tree leaves.

Production System-3: Fodder bank for Watershed villages 

Introduction: 

"The fodder bank technology is a farming practice whereby leguminous shrubs and grass species are grown on a farm to provide fodder for livestock 

sector." It provides a wide range of animal products that are rich in high quality proteins and have the potential as good and sustainable sources of income in 

many areas. Through the dairy cooperative societies, farmers will be supplied with seeds of bajra, multi-cut jowar and cowpea for the summer season; bajra, 

multi cut jowar and maize for the kharif season and bajra and berseem for the rabi season. The demand for fodder seeds was the highest for the rabi season. 

Farmers cite the availability of green grass in abundance during the rains as a reason for their not devoting acreage solely for fodder during the kharif season. 

The accent of the programme during the year was to get across the message of growing a mixture of fodder crops providing complete nutrition for the animals. 

The success of the programme lay in making available quality fodder seeds to farmers. One aspect where we could have done better was in getting farmers to 

try out a mix of fodder crops and devote needed acreage to growing fodder for their animals. The fodder bank ensures fodder availability which in turn reduces 

the distressed migration of the people resulting in sustainable livelihood opportunities and enhances natural resource security in the project area. 



Objective of a fodder bank: 

1. Build a local fodder bank and organize the distribution of fodder during drought and scarce situation. . 

2. Establish and maintain village fodder farm in the community grazing area, and allocate the community land for fodder production, in association with dairy 

co-operatives. 

3. Control regulates and charge in the community grazing and pastures lands. 

4. Undertake the distribution of fodder seeds and slips in the village. 

Primary problem of the project 

Both Ghoghavadar, Rupavati,Sandhavaya, Bandhiya, Satapar, Shisgak and Bildi village come under totally rainfed agriculture and soil is very suitable for 

fodder crop mainly sorghum but due the scarcity of irrigation water only one crop can be taken throughout the year. So fodder bank play an important role to 

solve this problem. Majority of farmers own more than 3 ha of land for food and fodder production but lack of irrigation water has made these lands 

unproductive. The concept of fodder bank can overcome the problem of seasonal feed shortage, migration and poor animal performance. 

It is the milch animal, which is the worst affected during these periods of drought, due to lack of productivity of sufficient fodder and water. As a result, the 

poor are forced to let go with their animals in search of fodder and green pastures to other parts of the state. This eventually leads to colossal loss of income 

generating assets, poor demographic profile of village and low education level of their children. 

Even in good years, during harvesting season, the poor tend to sell their crop residue or fodder to earn cash. At such time when supply is higher than demand, 

they are not able to sell fodder at remunerative prices. The same fodder is bought back by them, mostly at higher prices during the months of scarcity. 

To meet the critical needs of fodder, especially for the poor families and protect them from inordinately high prices during the summer months, fodder banks are 

proposed to be setup at both the village level. 



Feasibility of Fodder Bank: 

A detailed survey and Focused Group Discussion was conducted in Ghoghavadar, Rupavati, Sandhavaya, Bandhiya, Satapar, Shisgak and Bildi village. 

The number and type of cattle as well as the fodder production capacity of the village was collected during door to door survey. In focused group discussion 

several factors like the various types of fodder available locally, the quantity of fodder to be stored in the fodder bank, the size of fodder bank, the amount of 

finances required to operate a fodder bank etc were discussed with the farmers, User group and Watershed committee. The fodder bank should be sustainable 

and towards that, the sale price of fodder should cover operating costs and losses in storage. All these decisions were taken jointly with the member of operating 

fodder bank.

Production of Fodder: 

We will produce 3000 quintal fodder from community land of Gram Panchayat and for remaining requirement we can fulfill by two 

ways first one buy the fodder at the time of harvesting and second we can take land on lease agreement from some other government as 

well as private agency. 


Technical Support/Assistance: 


To ensure proper technical support for fodder bank and smooth functioning of activities the required technical assistance may be taken from Krishi Vigyan Kendra 

(KVS), Dept. of Agriculture, Dairy and DWDU. 

Advantages: 

The importance of a fodder bank can be well understood. The fodder banks will provide much needed relief and self-reliance to poor in the village especially in 

drought condition. Specifically, the advantages are:- 

> It will reduce migration during drought condition. 

> Farmers can purchase and sale of fodder at village level, thus doing away with costs incurred by them to carry out these transactions at the city market. 

> It can reduce in overall market prices of fodder during the lean season. 

> Ensure availability of fodder during the lean season at affordable and reasonable prices. 

> Reduced distress sale of cattle due to non -availability and / or non-affordability of fodder. 

> Higher incomes for the poor as cattle will have enough fodder even during the lean season 

> Increase employment opportunities at the village level associated with the sale, purchase and storage of fodder. 


Production System - 5: Vermi composting unit for Project villages 


Introduction: 

The wide spread problems of soil degradation and desertification are threatening agricultural sustainability. Throughout the project village large population of 

domestic animals are producing large amounts of organic wastes. These organic residues, or „waste materials‟, can be transformed more quickly and into a 

more useful vermi-compost, available for urban and land application. Nutrients within vermi-composted material are readily available to plants, and can be 

added to agricultural land to improve soil structure and fertility or used as good quality and marketable additive to potting soil or plant growth media. The 

process of composting crop residues using earthworms comprise spreading the agricultural wastes and cow dung in layers as 1 m wide and 0.3 m high beds of 

required length. Earthworms are introduced in between the layers @ 350 worms per m 3 of bed volume. The beds are maintained at about 40 - 50% moisture 

content and a temperature of 20 - 30° C by sprinkling water over the beds. The earthworms being voracious eaters consume the biodegradable matter and give 

out a part of the matter as excreta or vermi-castings. The vermi-casting containing nutrients are rich manure for the plants. 

Objectives 

• To train farmers / SHGs in organic farming and vermi-culture. 

• To promote production of vermi-castings as a viable small business venture 

About The Worms 

Eisenia fetida, Eudrilus eugeniae, and Perionyx excavatius are some of the species for rearing to convert organic wastes into manure. The worms feed on any 

biodegradable matter ranging from coir waste to kitchen garbage and Vermi-composting units are ideally suited to locations / units with generation of 

considerable quantities of organic wastes. One earthworm reaching reproductive age of about six weeks lays one egg capsule (containing 7 embryos) every 7 - 

10 days. Three to seven worms emerge out of each capsule. Thus, the multiplication of worms under optimum growth conditions is very fast. The worms live 

for about 2 years. Fully grown worms could be separated and dried in an oven to make 'worm meal' which is a rich source of protein (70%) for use in animal 

feed. 

Location 

Ghoghavadar,rupavati,Sandhavaya,Bandhiya,Satapar, Shisgak,bildi village has lots of animal so it can become good composting center as well as good source 

of livelihood. Vermicompost is very suitable for fruit, flower and vegetable as well as cereal crops. It increases quality and quantity of product in per unit area. 



Market/Use 

Vermi compost is a valuable input for sustainable agriculture and wasteland development. This also can be used widely in pot culture and in home gardens. 

Several farmers are successfully using vermi-comost. Vermi compost has more nutrient compare to other manures and fertilizer so by the use of compost we can 

reduce the use of chemical fertilizer. Vermi compost not only supply nutrient but also improve quantity of hormones for plant growth, improves the soil structure 

leading to increase in water and nutrient holding capacities of soil. 

Components of A Commercial Unit 

Sheds 

Shed is necessary as the temperature in summer is high. We can make it by the use of concrete pillars because this will act as a source of income for those in the 

village who produce pillars. It will prevent wetting of beds due to rain on a windy day. While designing the sheds adequate room has to be left around the beds for easy 

movement of the labour attending to fill and harvest the beds. 

Vermi-beds 

Scientific bed size proposed here is 10mt by 1 mt by 0.3 mt. The whole bed area should be above the ground. The bed should have a uniform height over the entire 

width to the extent possible to avoid low production owing to low bed volumes. The proper bed width should not be more that 1.5 m to allow easy access to the centre 

of the bed. 



Land 

About 750 square meter of land is required to set up a vermi compost production unit in each village. It should have at least one super structure to cover the 40 

beds. It should have an arrangement for watering and other equipments as required because moisture is very essential for compost production. Land can be 

taken from Gram panchayat on lease of at least 10-15 years. 

Seed Stock 

This is very important thing because worms multiply at the rate of 350 worms per m 3 of bed space over a period of 6 month to a year. 

Fencing 

The entire area has to be fenced to prevent the stray animals and other unwanted elements. These could be estimated based on the length 

of the periphery of the farm. 

Water Supply System 

We have to maintain always 50% moisture content, there is need to plan for a water source, lifting mechanism and a system of conveying and applying the 

water to vermi-beds. Drippers with round the clock flow arrangement would be quite handy for continuous supply and saving on water. Such a water 

supply/application system requiring considerable initial investment, however, reduces the operational costs on hand watering and proves economical in the 

long run. The cost of these items depends on the capacity of the unit and the type of water supply chosen. 

Machinery 

Farm machinery and implements are required for cutting the raw material in small pieces, conveying shredded raw material to the vermi-sheds, loading, 

unloading, collection of compost, loosening of beds for aeration, shifting of the compost. Costs of providing necessary implements and the machinery have to be 

included in the project cost.

Production System – 7: Turmeric Cultivation 


Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is used as spice, dye and in cosmetic industry. It is an erect, perennial herb grown as an annual crop. Turmeric will be grown in the 

cluster villages as a rainfed crop depending on location. It comes up well under sparse shade also and can be grown as an intercrop. The Agro climatic condition 

of Gujarat is ideal for cultivation of turmeric. As small cottage industries are on the increase where drying, processing and grinding of turmeric can be done, 

there is tremendous scope in increasing the area under turmeric further. It is therefore, proposed to cover an area of 7 Ha. @ Rs. 75,600/- per Ha. totaling a sum 

of Rs.1.79 lakhs during the project period in five villages namely Ghoghavadar, Sandhvaya, Bandhiya, Stapar, and Bildi. Details of cost estimate and year wise

Strategy for Implementation: 

The Schemes will be fully implemented in a phased manner in a span of three years. The implementation will be done in such a way that a selected beneficiary 

will be given the full benefit at a time so that the chosen unit has a good chance of being financially feasible and will earn income for the beneficiary to 

purchase the necessary food grains. 


Production System – 8 Floriculture 


Floriculture industry a lucrative business comprising traditional flowers , cut flowers, pot plants, dry floral crafts and planting materials, besides value added 

products like bouquets, garlands, floral baskets, floral concretes, pot-pour and oils. It has proved to be a highly profitable agro-business generating maximum 

returns per unit area. Flowers like Rose, Marigold can be profitably cultivated. Rose and marigold fetch very high prices in the local market. This can be a good 

alternative and economic crop for the small stakeholders. The package of practices for commercial cultivation of these crops has been standardized and 

technology has been transferred. 

a) Marigold 

Marigold gained popularity amongst farmer and flower dealers on account of its easy culture, wide adaptability, attractive colour, shape, size and good keeping 

quality. Marigold is valued loose flower for making garlands. Besides, it is used as trap crop in the borders to attract insects attacking the main crop. Three 

weeks old seedlings are planted which grows upto a height of 75-90 cm at maturity with deep orange or lemon yellow flowers. It is propagated through seeds 

and cuttings. For better growth and improvement, application of NPK @80:40:80kg/ha is recommended. Flowers are plucked when they have attained the full 

size and it should be done in cool hours of the day either in the evening or morning. Good varieties of marigold are Namdhari marigold, First Lady and Pusa 

Narangi. Pinching of terminal leaves was found to significantly increase growth and yield in Pusa Basanti and Pusa Narangi gaindha. Pusa Narangi is mostly 

preferred due to higher flower production.

b) Sunflower 

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop in India popularly known as “Surajmukhi.” It is one of the fastest growing oilseed crops in India. 

Sunflower being a short duration and day neutral plant is quite suitable to fit in our existing cropping system. Sunflower is a major source of vegetable oil in the 

world. It is used for a variety of cooking purposes. Sunflower seed contains about 48 – 53 percent edible oil. It is used as nutritious meal for birds and animals. 

Sunflower has one of the shortest growing seasons of the major cash crops Plants are drought-resistant and grow well in soils ranging in texture from sand to 

clay. Soils should have good drainage for sunflower production 

Like most field crops, sunflower requires the kind of good seed-bed which results from carrying out a second ploughing if the field is planted on a fallow/barren 

land. By ploughing, only once on already cultivatable land, however, a farmer can reduce his variable costs of production. By and large farmers have now 

adopted improved methods of planting. The crop was initially broadcast done before sunflower gained popularity from various institutions. Line planting, 

however, is now dominant with recommended spacing of 75cm by 50cm and 2 seeds per hole. An application of P 2 0 5 fertilizer before planting and 60kg/ha of 

Nitrogen at thinning are recommended. Lower plant populations are recommended in areas where rainfall is limited (on average 33,000-45,000 plants per ha in 

semi-arid areas). However, the highest yields and oil percentages are obtained by planting early. Seed can be planted to a maximum depth of 10cm if necessary 

to reach moisture.

Sunflower harvesting, by hand or machine, takes place when the upper leaves have started to dry and the flowers are faded. 

In some cases, especially when the fields are small, it is preferable to harvest the crop before maturity. This decreases the risk of losses from attacks by birds 

and other pests. 

Hand harvesting 

Manual harvesting is done by cutting off heads with a knife or clippers. 

If, at harvest time, the moisture content of the seeds is higher than 15 percent, the heads should be pre-dried before threshing. 


Mechanized harvest 


Mechanized harvesting of sunflowers is generally done with combine harvesters designed for wheat, but modified and equipped with a sunflower-picker head. 

The work capacity of these machines is about 0.9 h/ha.

c) Rose Plantation 


Commercial Farming of Rose in Gujarat: The main districts which are having commercial farming of rose are Ahmedabad, Baroda, Anand, Surat, Navsari 

and Valsad. Nowadays Saurashtra farmers have also been motivated for rose farming through watershed activities. 

Varieties of Rose : There are approx. 2000 varieties of roses are available. Some of them are as under. 

1) Miniature (Vaman) Rose : Plants are short, Leaves are small, Planted in buckets(kundas) or around the garden. 

Varities in this types are Baby gold star, Pipilov, Scarlet Jem, Nartaki 

2) Floribanda : big size flowers, flowers are in bunch.

Climate: Cold and dry atmosphere is best suited for rose planting. Rose can be planted in hot and moist enviroment also but requires more scope of disease. 

Soil: Soil with good drain, fertile and medium black soil is suited to rose planting. It can be sown in sandy soil also, but required more compost manure. 

Sometimes due to poor drain capacity of black soil, water logging damages rose plants. By improving soil drain capacity, rose plants can be sown in 

heavy black soil also. Rose plants require more sunlight. so it should be sown in place which is open to sunlight. 

Sowing: Digging pits of size 60x60x60 cm in size and it should be open to sunlight upto 10 to 15 days. In the dig soil 6 to 8 kg cow dung manure should be 

mixed. Moreover, 50gm Urea, 100 Gram super phosphate and 50 gram Murate of potash should be mixed. If fungi is there, 3 to 5 gm BHC should also be 

mixed. 

Time of sowing: Roses can be sown throughout the year. But it should not be sown in heavy rainfall season like July-August and also not in April-May.

4.4 Capacity building and Institutional collaboration 


Watershed management and development requires the collaboration of a wide range of farmers‟ organizations as well as extension and research 

institutions at various levels. This gives implementers access a wider technical resource base, creates better information flows and encourages mutual learning. 

Watersheds serve as a confluence between lands and communities, providing ample opportunities for members to share complementary expertise. A watershed 

contains producers (farmers), possibly actors that add value to produce, traders and consumers information, and education institutions to test their joint efforts 

to make a difference. Watersheds can be also a good ground for learning and demonstration of expertise.

Early and ongoing stakeholder collaboration and communication in capacity building is also important from the point viewpoint of “leveling the playing field” 

in anticipation of disputes that may arise. Filling strategic skills/capacity gaps supports Integrated Water resources Management, facilitates dispute resolution, 

and builds practical understanding of the scope of sustainable natural resource development challenges and opportunities.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES 


6.1 Expected Outcomes 


6.1.1 Employment 

This programme also aims simultaneously to improve the living conditions of the abuttant user communities. Employment opportunities will be created to the 

people living in the watershed through different soil and water conservation activities and livelihood activities. Self employment would be created by providing 

the people with cash support in the form of direct livelihood activities like agriculture, animal husbandry and micro-enterprise development.

6.1.2 Migration 

WSD can open up new opportunities for households to both intensify and extensify production, for example through: 

• Increasing the frequency of cultivation – new water harvesting structures often permits cultivation of a second crop, or „life-saving‟ irrigation of a main 

crop. 

• Adopting new technologies, such as improved varieties of staple crops, higher levels of input use and higher yields; shifts to the cultivation of higher value 

crops in the project areas expected. 

• Expansion of cultivated areas – soil and water conservation interventions can bring new land into production. 

All of the above tend to generate increased demands for labour. These may be provided initially from farm family sources and subsequently by hired labour. 

Employment opportunities in the local area as mentioned above will ensure lessening seasonal migration from the area.

6.1.3 Ground water table 

As demand for groundwater has gone up, rapid urbanization and land use changes have decreased drastically the already low infiltration rates of rainfall into the soil 

and have diminished the natural recharging of aquifers. The ground water table thus has depleted over the years. Substantial opportunities exist for groundwater 

recharge and water harvesting to supplement water supplies in the Sandhvaya and Rupavati villages. In order to improve the ground water situation it is 

necessary to artificially recharge the depleted ground water aquifers. The available techniques are easy, cost-effective and sustainable in the long term. Many of 

these can be adopted by the individuals and village communities with locally available materials and manpower. Proper water harvesting structures and 

percolation-tanks will be constructed to increase ground water table from 10-15 mt to 8-10 mt in open wells and from 10-15 mt. to 9-10 mt. in borewells in the post 

project period.

6.1.4: Drinking water 

Others (specify) 

All villages in the project area totally depend upon Narmada water supply (SSNL) for drinking and other domestic activities as the groundwater is less adoptable 

to drink in nature. There are four wells in a common land in three villages and about 11 hand pumps too; but the water is not good for drinking purpose. 

WASMO/Sector reform has constructed a tank to store water, brought through pipeline from Narmada canal in Ghoghavadar, Shishak and Sandhvaya. As a result of the 

watershed activities, it is expected that the quantity and quality of drinking water would improve and will be available to villagers from well constructed downstream of 

checkdams.

6.1. 5: Crops 


Due to additional availability of water in new structures, farmers will be able to grow vegetable crops during non rainy seasons. Even after taking rainy 

season and post rainy season crops into consideration, they will get a good price for vegetables in summer also. Mostly farmers with large families will 

prefer to grow vegetables, as the crops need timely availability of human labor to harvest and encash the market potential. The planned earthen bunds and 

salinity reducing trenches would partially prevent the saline water from the sea to mix with the sweet rain water and also help to percolate water 

underground, and preserve some moisture in the soil. Also the proposed soil and water conservation activities will bring more areas under cultivation. New 

agricultural practices, new technology, organic farming etc will be demonstrated in the villages. This will help in additional area coming under cultivation 

and increasing productivity too. The farmers can take more than one season of crops. Different varieties of crops can be taken.

The village has quite a good of livestock population. These include cows, bullocks, buffaloes, goats, sheep. The interventions like provision of good quality cows 

and buffaloes, the establishment of a fodder bank and other such related activities would spur up the dairy development in the village. It is expected that the post 

project period would see a substantial increase in livestock population and yield from them.

QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES 



Quality and Sustainability Issues 

Plans for Monitoring and Evaluation 

A Web-based CIS System is being developed for monitoring and evaluating the project in its planning & implementation phases. 

The system would be available on a public domain and can be accessed by all the stakeholders of the project. The system shows the 

entire state of Gujarat and all of those areas selected over the next 18 years. Filtering allows the user to zoom onto one particular 

project. Details related to soil type, Land-use classification, inhabitation etc., can be obtained village-wise. Furthermore, survey-number 

wise details related to ownership, irrigation source, yield etc., can also be accessed by the users of the system. This system is being used 

for pooling up the details obtained from the DPR. In other words, the DPR is made available online in the form of a database which will 

help the stakeholders know areas of importance viz., already treated areas/historical works in the area, proposed areas for treatment 

etc., for further treatment and planning. The system would also show the satellite imageries of various years from the project inception 

stage to the project closing stages. This allows the user to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and thereby plan corrective 

measures for the project area. The system would serve as an aiding tool to the planners and evaluators for judging the efficacy of the 

project. 

Yet another component of the Web-based CIS system is the Mobile based Monitoring & Evaluation System, which will help the ground staff alias 

WDTs (Watershed Development Team) to transmit information from the ground level to the central server. Also, any higher-up official in charge of the project 

can obtain information regarding the project area on their mobile phone by means of an SMS. The system works in the following manner. The WDT equipped 

with a GPS instrument marks the latitude-longitude information of various treatment areas during the DPR. The probable sites are then transferred onto the 

central server. During the works phase, any progress in the treatment area is reported to the server by means of an SMS by the WDT. Similarly, any nodal 

officer or higher-up official can view the progress in a project by means of summarized reports generated over frequent periods of time. 



Vigilance and Monitoring Committees 

1. For every work sanctioned under the Scheme, there should be a local vigilance and monitoring committee, composed of members of the locality or village 

where the work is undertaken, to monitor the progress and quality of work while it is in progress. The Gram Sabha will elect the members of this committee and 

ensure that SC/STs and women are represented on it. 

2. The Implementing Agency should apprise this committee of estimates regarding the work, time frame and quality parameters. The final report of the 

committee should be attached along with the Completion Certificate of the work, and should also be placed at the next meeting of the Gram Sabha in the 

Panchayat where work has been executed. 

3. Local beneficiary committees may also be constituted for effective articulation of their entitlements and their access to them. The PIA members will be 

responsible for ensuring that local monitoring committees/beneficiary committees are constituted. 

Research support in watershed management 

Watershed management requires the support of research. Watershed projects will be used as on-farm sites for research designed and implemented with 

significant involvement of farmers and extension workers to produce site-specific technological solutions. This leads to problems in adoption and up-scaling of 

research findings within specific watersheds. There is also the question of up-scaling technologies and approaches beyond a designated watershed. At the same 

time, researchers will be able to relate research activities to the real problems facing farmers or to capture the locally developed or modified technologies. Yet 

there is a need to give technologies appropriate technical and scientific definition and to disseminate them widely. 

Farmer organization and empowerment 

The management of natural resources requires strong and effective farmer organizations. Such organizations empower farmers and create a good 

foundation for the transfer, adoption and use of information on new technologies. They also help in negotiating for inputs at favorable prices. 

Strong farmers‟ organizations can be a conduit for services that meet felt needs. These needs include information to improve production and marketing, 

credit, and demand driven approaches that ensure ownership and sustainability of interventions. 

Farmers‟ organization allows the use of participatory approaches that recognize local capacity and indigenous knowledge. It incorporates the 

aspirations and perceptions that influence decision-making, while giving farmers an important role in planning and implementation of watershed management 

activities. Such participation is important for the success, continuity and sustainability of the resource management programmes. 



Often a successful watershed knits together many aspects of the people‟s lives apart from purely technical issues. Many conservation and basic group 

production initiatives have widened into a social movement dealing with matters such as weddings, funerals, care for the elderly and the disadvantaged, and 

other issues in the community. 

The initial natural resources focus also widens into a set of integrated activities such as the improvement of houses, provision of water and electricity, 

acquisition of improved tools, seeds and livestock, all in the name of watershed management. 

Empowerment of farmers therefore allows farmers to demand services and to ensure the continued role of the state in supporting watershed 

development. 

Use of traditional institutions and indigenous knowledge 

Experience has shown that to effectively reach the farmers and to create viable watershed management options, it is important to respect indigenous 

knowledge and combine it with the formal modern science and technology. Local traditional institutions should be part and parcel of the process. For instance, 

there is a lot of under-used indigenous knowledge about climate, soils, biodiversity and other production conditions that confront farmers. A lot of research 

findings are abstract to extension providers and farmers alike. Such findings need to be married with indigenous knowledge and disseminated in a language that 

farmers and members of traditional institutions can understand. 

Plans For Project management: 

The Project management of any watershed programme is very important. It mainly depends upon the community organization and the village level 

institutes. In both Ghoghavadar, Rupavati, Sandhavaya, Bandhiya, Satapar, Shisgak, Bildi , watershed committee and various user groups have been 

formulated for post project operation and maintenance of assets created during project period. Major emphasis will be on equity and sustainable benefit of the 

project even after implementation stage. A proper link-up will be built during project period with various institutes and capacity building organization. They 

will act as a major kingpin during post implementation for scaling up the successful experience during project. 

Watershed Development Fund: 

Such contributions will promote feeling of “ownership” of the programme among stakeholders. This will contribute to sustainable outcomes in the long-term. 

The voluntary contributions are saved in the Watershed Development Fund (WDF) that is to be used for repair, maintenance and use of assets created on 

common land. The contribution of it will comes mainly fund the following: 


Table No. 60. Details of Watershed Development Fund(WDF) 

Sl. No Financial Details Percent Contribution 

1 Natural Resource Management 

For General 10% 

For SC/ST 5% 

2 For Intensive Agriculture, Horticulture and animal Husbandry 

For General 40% 

For SC/ST 20% 


It is planned that for SC/ST, BPL population the contribution will be taken in form of voluntary labour and the fund for labour will be diverted to the WDF. 

User Charges: 

Various user groups will be formed in village. These user groups will collect user charges according to the designated rules formed during the formation 

of user group. These funds will be transferred to the WDF funds as per these formulated rules. The secretary of watershed committee (WC) shall maintain the 

records of the following.
