1st Annual Progress Report

September 2012- August 2013
Preamble: Janakalyan, with the financial assistance of NABARD, has proposed to initiate an innovative intervention in tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project in Sindhanur taluk of Raichur district to develop a model to address 2-extremes of water availability. It has commenced from September 2012 for 3 years to demonstrate the proposed technology and prove it as a financially viable model for the farmers of any tail end in India. This report is prepared at the end of 1st year of intervention to document the process followed in implementing the program. Context: Due to partition of the country, millions of Bengalis lost their ancestral properties and had to find their new abode in India as per the terms and conditions of partition. About 932 such families were rehabilitated in Sindhanur taluk of Raichur district in Karnataka with 4-5 acres of land in the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project. This piece of land is the only source of their livelihoods and all these refugees are solely dependent on it for their survival. There are about 4 such rehabilitation colonies in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project. Problem/issue: All tail ends of irrigation projects are exposed to a peculiar problem i.e. two extremes of water availability. During rainy season, when the upper reach farmers dont want water for irrigation and also the runoff gets generated out of excess rain, they leave it through the canal which inundates the standing crops of tail end farmers. In the peak season, when the water is seriously in need by the tail end farmers, it is being completely used by the upper reach farmers leaving inadequate quantum after satisfying their needs, thereby causing drying up of standing crops again at the tail end. Realizing the fact over a period of time, the farmers now cultivate part of the land considering the water availability in peak season keeping rest fallow throughout the year. Hypothesis/Theme: Water is life but is the scarcest resource too; provide water to the farmers, they would ensure food security of the nation. God provided enough water in the nature which we dont use judiciously when made available but blame the God or Government for the shortfall. Rural godowns are promoted by NABARD to arrest wastage of food grains likewise water storage tanks need to be promoted to reduce wastage of the scarcest resource, the water. Model to be tested: Excavation of a water storage structure in the fallow land to store the excess water during rainy season and using the same for lifesaving irrigation during the peak season would not only address loss of crops due to 2extremes of water availability but also help to use the fallow land productively by integrating fish in the tank. Various other productive units such as vegetables, fodder with cows, fruits & tree crops, etc. could also be added to distribute risk of crop failures and thereby broadening the economic base of the family.
JANAKALYAN
The program commenced in September 2012 with the financial support of NABARD st in Sindhanur Rehabilitation Project. This report is prepared at the end of 1 year of the project intervention to document the process and progress. Objectives.. Basically, the program aims the following1) Creation of Water Harvesting Structures at the tail end of Tungabhadra Irrigation Project. 2) Bring in additional area under irrigated crops through judicious application of water. 3) Increase productivity of the land through assured irrigation 4) Enhance farm income by adding various productive units to the farm with risk distribution through multiple sources of income tot the family throughout the year. Activities Completed so far.. Major activities carried out during the period are documented in the following paragraphs in order to achieve the set target. 1) Project Concept Orientation to 56 farmers through one to one interactions 2) Awareness generation about NABARD supported project in these villages 3) Social feasibility study of these farms by Janakalyan team 4) Technical feasibility study of the proposed water harvesting structures 5) Finalizing the list of potential farmers for water harvesting structure excavation 6) Actual excavation of these structures; 5 structures completed till date. 7) Farm based activities to add multiple sources of income by diversifying cropping pattern 8) Regular documentation of the field level activities Brief descriptions of these activities are narrated in subsequent sections of the report for a better understanding of the process adopted in carrying out these activities. 1. Awareness Generation.. Upon receiving the green signal from NABARD about the project, a series of village level meetings were conducted in all these rehabilitation colonies. This was in terms of informal meeting, one-to-one interactions, formal meeting etc. to introduce the NABARD supported project. 2. Project Concept Orientation.. Target group of the project are Bengali refugees; these are basically subsistence agriculturists and boatmen of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a country of rivers. However, every household used to have a multipurpose pukur (tank) at their backyard. The present concept of the project is derived from their experience only i.e. tank-centered multiple sources of income.
JANAKALYAN
However, to reinforce the concept among the participating farmers, one-day th Project Concept Orientation program was organized on 10 September 2012 and subsequently again 27th September 2012 in Janakalyan Office. About 56 famers from all the rehabilitation colonies participated in these 2 phase program. The major discussions are presented in the following slides-

Qualitative Impacts
Increased productivity would raise income level and thus living standard, especially investment in education of their children
20% ADDITIONAL YIELD

Good quality food grains would improve health status of the family members
Intensive use of land and water (avoiding fallow land)
Recycling of wastes would improve environment
100% utilization of family labors for farming thus reducing cost of cultivation and hence increase in profitability
Fuel wood availability in the farm itself thus reducing drudgery to the women
Fruit crops would help fruits intakes health improvement
Water availability for cattle, irrigation as well as human being throughout the year (reducing drudgery)
The purpose of the Project Orientation Program was to inform the participating farmers about the terms and conditions of the project so that they can take a final call whether or not to participate in the project. A time period of 15 days was given them to think and decide. 3. Social Feasibility Study The next step after finalization of list of farmers was feasibility analysis; feasibility we analyze at 2 stages 1) Social feasibility and 2) Technical feasibility. We have a predesigned schedule to assess the social feasibility of the household. The team visits every household and interacts with the members of selected families. The purpose is to understand the interest of the family members in the proposed package. The proposed package can be translated in to action only with the support of all the family members. If the farmer alone is interested then all the components of the project cannot be implemented. The team ensures, through the social feasibility study, that maximum family members commit to the plan of action of the project. 4. Technical Feasibility Study. Those who qualified in social feasibility are then assessed for technical feasibility by visiting their farms; here the team tries to assess whether the farm is a suitable for excavation of water harvesting structure, whether all components of the proposed plan could be implemented in the farm, which is the suitable location for excavation of the water harvesting structure within the farm, what shall be the size of the structure based on the land holding, etc. 5. Identification of Potential Farmers.. Based on the results of social and technical feasibility studies, a final set of farmers are identified and an orientation program for them is conducted on
JANAKALYAN
21.12.2012 at Janakalyan office. About 23 farmers participated in the said program. Not only was the plan of action discussed with these farmers but also the terms of reference. They are also shared the information like the amount of grant available for excavation of the water harvesting structure, types of activities to be implemented after excavation and the amount of contribution at farmers end for all these activities etc. These selected farmers are also told that the excavation shall start on first come first serve basis based on deposition of their contribution. The list of farmers who have been identified by the project team is furnished belowSl.

Note that it is not mandatory that only these farmers will be selected for excavation of water harvesting structures but anybody who completes the wormcompost pit with cows would get first priority, whether from the above list or otherwise. It was clearly told them that NABARD has provided Rs.35,000 for excavation of every water harvesting structure and the farmers need to contribute Rs.25,000 for 65 Hitachi hours of work. The farmers themselves shall make arrangement for shifting the excavated soil and provide food to the operator. 6. Benchmark Survey. Upon receipt of the contribution from the farmers, the team then starts benchmark data collection process through a predesigned schedule. The team collects General Information of the family, Demography of the family, Economic Profile, Land Details, Moveable & Immovable Assets, Agriculture Credit,

7. Excavation Finally the excavation of water harvesting structure started on 7th April 2013 and completed 5 structures by 11th June 2013; though there were possibilities of excavting few more structures but due to lack of funds, we had to stop the process for time being. An hitachi was hired to excavate these structures at the market price.
Table below provides a birds eye view of the progress as on date.

by the project as incentive. The the farmers have both the desire as well as the ability to invest for excavation of the structure, it is this incentive which stops them from going ahead. All these farmers very well understand the importance of such a structure and the advantages of having assured irrigation for their crops, but still expect this push factor from some external sources to capitalise the beenfits of this knowledge and technology. 8. Farm Demonstration Excavation of water harvesting structure is just the beginning of the journey in bringing self sufficiency by diversifying cropping and adding multiple sources of income to the farm. Though, it has a long list of activities demanding huge investments in each of these activities and takes few years to establish the results, due to limitation of the scheme, we have planned only few set of training with the participating farmers. The actual implementation is left to the farmers through their own investments. The role of Janakalyan is only triggering the activities such as a) vegetable cultivation training, b) fodder cultivation & animal husbandry training, c) worm composting and / or SRI and 4) fish rearing. The st achievement as at the end of the 1 year of the journey is not very satisfactory in this regards. One of the reasons is that it was planned to complete the structures before taking up farm level activities. Other reason is lack of fund required for conducting these training. However the farm level demonstrations have been taken up without the training inputs and planned to conduct all these training in the 2nd year of the project period. Broad farm based activities during the reporting period are grouped into following 4 heads and brief description provided in subsequent paragraphs of the report. 8.1. Vegetable Cultivation Though it was a very good year in terms of rainfall but was a bad year for vegetable cultivation due to continuous rain almost every day; as a result, the farmers those who tried vegetable cultivation lost their crops while few others could not even go for sowing / transplanting.

It is evident from the table that about 8.0 gunta land has been covered by 4 out of 5 farmers i.e. 2.0 gunta per farmer during the year; one farmer retained his previous culture of going for mono-cropping i.e. rice cultivation even after repeated hammering. However, the team is happy that at least we could motivate 4 farmers (80%) to go for vegetable cultivation whatever small is the quantity in very first year. Once they taste the benefits of vegetable cultivation, we are sure next year onwards they will adopt it their own. It is further clear from the table above that the average investment per farmer is Rs.928 while the average return each farmer has already recovered is Rs.570; it is to be noted that the crop is not fully harvested and also one (Hiralal Baidya) of the farmers has yet not harvested at all. Similarly, the investment per gunta of land for vegetable cultivation is only Rs.464 while the return per gunta is Rs.285 at this stage of crop harvesting. Every farmer has already harvested an average of half-a-quintal of vegetables.

The table above depicts that with an average investment of Rs.12000 per farmer an average return of Rs.25165 is obtained in about 1 year; of course the other expenditures towards feed, fodder and labor is not considered at this stage. However, even if those are taken into consideration, we believe that there would be reasonable margin in animal husbandry. On the other hand, the benefits from cow dung and cow urine is also not calculated along with the value of calf. Again, this value is calculated only for the quantum of milk that is sold after family consumption; here again the impact on health is to be considered.

Fodder Plot of Manik Bawali Only setback for the team during the year is that it failed to motivate the farmers to go for fodder crops except Sri Manik Bawali who has tried it in small piece of land. It is very difficult to bring out the farmers from their age-old practices to which they are addicted to. But, some of them have cultivated fodder on the bunds of the tank. However, in the due course of time, we are sure of converting these farmers into the proposed package of the program. It is also to be noted that 2 of the participating farmers have yet not purchased cow for the want of funds, though they are interested. 8.3. Worm compost and/or SRI. It is planned that each farmer shall either go for worm-compost making or cultivate paddy with System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method of cultivation. The outcome as at the end of 1st year of the project implementation is furnished in the table below. 8.3.1. Worm compost.. In the very first year of project implementation, the team failed to motivate the farmers to go for worm-compost preparation. However, one farmer has put the materials in an already built concrete structure. The standard composting method is applied and waiting for the result after 3 months.

9. Documentation. Documentation is an important task in every project implementation, especially when it is demonstration type, for the benefits of larger sections of the society. Since the project has been taken up under FTTP Farmers Technology Transfer
JANAKALYAN
Fund it becomes again important to document each and every step so that a conclusion can be drawn at the end of the project period about the technology under testing. Janakalyan team has developed various formats for documenting the field based activities on day to day basis. The reports are prepared based on these data/ records. All these formats are annexed to this report. In addition, periodical photo and occasional video documentation are part of the routine documentation process of field team of Janakalyan. 10. Transparency & Accountability.. Transparency is a crosscutting system in Janakalyan; all data including financials are disclosed with all the stakeholders. Janakalyan is accountable to all its stakeholders in addition to the donor.
