These MWS could also be taken up under various convergence schemes. Amongst the various convergence<br />

schemes specific projects designed by various Line <strong>Department</strong>s like Forest, Agriculture, Rural Development<br />

can be taken up. Any Externally Aided Project working on Watershed Guidelines could also prove to be a<br />

good convergence project. Within these projects also NREGS could also be used as an effective convergence<br />

tool.<br />

19.31 lakh ha. area would be taken up for treatment in all the districts <strong>of</strong> the State. Of the 537 untreated<br />

MWS 409 have been shortlisted for the Integrated Watershed Management Project (IWMP).<br />

The plan wise phasing <strong>of</strong> the physical and financial program <strong>of</strong> watershed development has been depicted in<br />

(Annexure Table 8.2 a). <strong>Uttarakhand</strong> State being predominantly a hill state with difficult terrain a financial<br />

outlay <strong>of</strong> Rs. 15000 per ha. has been taken for the hill district and for the plain districts <strong>of</strong> Udhamsingh<br />

Nagar, Haridwar and some part <strong>of</strong> Nainital districts financial outlay <strong>of</strong> Rs. 12000 per ha. has been taken.<br />

Thus a total outlay <strong>of</strong> Rs. 2742.52 crores has been projected for a period <strong>of</strong> 18 years. The financial provision<br />

required for the 11th plan is Rs. 621 crores for the 12th Plan, it is Rs. 624 crores, for the 13th Plan Rs. 660<br />

crores and for the 14th Plan it is 858.52 crores.<br />

The annual plan for the remaining 11th Plan showing the Watershed areas planned for treatment and<br />

financial provision year wise has been depicted district wise in (Annexure Table-8.2 b). 86 MWS covering an<br />

area <strong>of</strong> 4.3 lakh ha. are proposed to be taken up for treatment in the 11th plan period.<br />

Watershed Management works entail considerable amount <strong>of</strong> budget and hence a proper monitoring and<br />

impact evaluation is desired to assess the benefits accrued out <strong>of</strong> the expenditure incurred. Thus, to monitor<br />

the achievement <strong>of</strong> our defined project objectives certain output indicators have been designed which will help<br />

in quantifying the objectives any change in achievement <strong>of</strong> objectives will help in flagging our procedural<br />

shortcomings like ineffective community mobilization, poor PRA process improper prioritization <strong>of</strong> natural<br />

resource management objectives etc.
