Executive Summary

Component A-1

The key objective of the component is to enable Water Users for taking over the primary

responsibilities such as tank system improvement and its management, implementation of sectoral

activities with community participation.

Across the 12 district total tanks got approved are 652 in three spells (TAC1, TAC2, TAC3). Out of

total tanks, 323 Independent tanks and 329 are cascade tanks. In Independent tanks, 298 tanks have

WUAs and of these, 278 tanks have Managing Committees (MC) and the rest 20 WUAs doesn’t have

MCs. In 173 Cascade tanks, 147 tanks have WUAs and of these 124 WUAs have Managing

Committees (MC). There is -a gap of 7 to 16 percent across independent and Cascade tanks

In cascade system, the tanks that are below 100 ac ayacut are not part of any WUA system. Formation

of new WUAs needs to be initiated,the district wise tanks with less than 100 acres areas follow:

District wise Tanks with Less than 100 Acres

9

For the building of WUA office, the sites have been identified in 34 tanks and for construction of

building 2-4 estimations are received. Identification of sites remain static for 6 months, but there is

progress in estimations preparation. The books have been supplied to all WUA and minutes book

writing is initiated in the project where paraworkers have been identified. The para workers have been

identified in 233 WUAs. In Srikakulam all women Para workers have been identified. The social audit

board template prepared observed in 6 tanks. The system of rating of SOs is adopted to assess the

performance of SOs on 5 key parameters. The district teams have already initiated SO rating. At

present 4 SOs in Grade ‘A’, 3 in ‘B+’, 2 in ‘B’ and 7 in ‘C’ GradeThe socio-economic survey has

been carried out in 55 tanks.

The socio-economic survey has been done to assess the sample farmers across the project districts.

Total 54 tanks tanks have been covered across 12 districts. To assess the family socio-economic

conditions various parameters like, age, family size, sex ratio, occupation, landholding, housing,

education, household items, income etc has been considered and presented findings.In the sample, 90

per cent of the sample constitutes marginal and small farmers in control tanks, whereas it is 78

percent in project tanks. Medium and large farmers together constitute 7% and 21% in control and

sample tanks respectively. The details are given in the annexure 1.

The Tank Development Plans (TDP)/Cascade Development Plans (CDP) preparation is in progress

and planning process is facilitated by CADA.

Subcomponent A.2: Rehabilitation and Modernization of SSCBI systems

A2 outline: This chapter of the report covers tracking of physical progress of civil works in all 12

project districts, assessment of identified tanks for longitudinal benefit tracking LBT, which will

continue for 6 years or till completion of the project, sample tanks and suggestion in form action

points, action to be taken and by whom the action is to be taken.

Progress of work: During the second half year period (July-December 2019), no. of works grounded

is 186. As part of the concurrent monitoring for the reported period, tracking on progress of 441

works for which administrative approval is accorded carried out and physical progress of

construction in all 186 grounded works is done.

10

The progress is tabulated as the number of tanks with achievement above 50%, 25-49%, 10%-24%

and below 10%. Progress is more than 50% in 41 works that consists of 10 works of Kurnool, 9 works

of Chittoore, 8 works of Prakasham, 6 works of Anantapur, 5 works of Kurnool and 3 works each of

East Godavari and East Godavari districts. There are 46 works in the category of 25% to 49%, 37

works in the category of 10% to24% and 44 works in the category of below 10%. Tanks where

physical progress is below 10%, even after almost completion of around one year from the date of

agreement is a serious cause of concern.

In progress below 10% to know whether the agency is able to continue and take decision on need to

cancel the agreements is suggested. The District wise progress of all works grounded is tracked and

the physical progress up to 31st December 2019 is assessed and is presented as Annexures.

Reasons for delay: Achievement of physical progress above 90% is limited to 9 works in the entire

state. Reasons for the slow progress are assessed during external monitoring are;

(a) Election of the state assembly,

(b) Filling of water in tanks in monsoon 2020,

(c) Review process by the Government to take a policy decision on execution of works, (d) non-

receipt of technical sanction, and

(e) Delay in payment of bills.

Action to be taken: it is an important aspect of the report and is presented in a tabular format as the

last section of this concurrent monitoring report for the second half year period. Suggestions put

forward include;

(a) Examining possibility of cancelling agreement for works which are not grounded or

physical progress is below 10%,

(b) Expediting issue of technical sanction,

(c) Calling of tenders

(d) Obtaining work plan from construction agencies for early completion of the works,

(e) Minimization of delay in payment to agencies,

(f) Selection sluices and tube wells for measurement of water release, and

(g) Ground verification of ayacut receiving designed irrigation before rehabilitation and

modernization.

Component A3.

This component is an integral part of the overall implementation and different PGM groups have been

formed in the project locations or process is initiated to strength the existing ones. So far 316 PGM

groups formed.

The state level PGM activity progress on reconnoitery survey completed 50%, and piezometers

drilling site identifications completed 117 tanks. Drilling of piezometers site permissions and

granting’s are in progress from Head office. Till now 201 permissions are granted from head office

for each district. Around 316 PGM groups are already formed in tank levels in 76 tanks trainings have

been completed. These PGM groups more in Srikakulam, Krishna and Prakasam districts, and less in

Kurnool, Anantapur, Chittoor, Visakhapatnam, East and West Godavari districts respectively

Component -B1

Climate Smart Agriculture Production

Implementation of Agriculture interventions at ground level gradually picking, but progressing is sub

optimal. Many districts also so far have not received the reimbursement against the committed

expenditure, hence, are not showing interest to take up activities under APIIATP. Committed

expenditure towards training and capacity building programs is also not yet released in majority of the

districts. Department officials have expressed that the meagre amount of budget releases is the issue

in the implementation of the agriculture interventions. Further, lack of dedicated staff at district level

(District Agriculture Coordinator), transfers of district/Mandal level department staff, no orientation

to newly transferred staff are some of the reasons for the slow implementation of APIIATP. Some

district nodal officers have also expressed thatpoor or no follow up from the Commissionerate of

Agriculture office, absence of dedicated team/staff for the project at Commissionerate level are also

the reasons for slow progress under the project. The team has observed that department staff is busy

handling their own regular department programs, especially the flagship program of present state

government, the “RhytuBharosa’ program. Officials have expressed their inability to spare time for

APPIIATP due to the tight schedule.

Activities under Training & Capacity Building are completed by Agri. &Horti. Departments. Tank

level orientation programs are still under progress in some of the tanks in the districts.

Certified seed production (paddy crop variety - MTU1121) under APIIATP was taken up only in

Vizianagaram district in 19 tank villages, with a cost of Rs. 8.24 lakhs. Farmers expressed satisfaction

over the 5-6 more bags of yield they obtained with MTU 1121, compare to the earlier grown samba

masuri (1001). Block demonstrations were taken up only in Vizianagaram, Kadapa and Chittoor

districts in 2019. Due to lack of budget, other inputs of paddy cultivation for demonstration purpose

were not given to the demonstrating farmers, hence, field visit/crop cutting experiment was not

organized. However, farmers practiced green manuring and got benefited saving on urea. Green

manure seeds were distributed only in Vizianagaram and Kurnool districts among all the districts.

Seeds of Diancha and Sunhemp were distributed @ 75% subsidy to the farmers

The implementation of project interventions has yet tocommence, measurement of indicators such as

crop yields, area increased /decreased (Hectare) under paddy, pulses (redgram), oilseeds (pulses) and

vegetable (chilli) will be taken up only after the project work is executed in 2020-21 (kharif&rabi

season). The household survey data indicate that the main crop grown in the project tank villages

during kharif season in 2019 is paddy to a large extent under tank ayacut. In the tank, tail end and in

the tank influence zone, where the tanks are small in size, there groundnut crop is grown under rain-

fed conditions. Vegetables are also grown to a small extent under assured bore well irrigation

condition. The average paddy yield obtained in the project areas; with-out any project interventions is

5.09 MT/Ha against the state average of 5.17MT/Ha. The average groundnut yield obtained in the

project tank area is 1.10 Mt/Ha and chilli crop yield is 2.12 Mt/Ha. No significant difference or trend

is noticed between the yield data collected at LBT households/ sample households and control

households, with respect to various parameters related to agriculture/horticulture.

The data indicate that the project area farmers are aware of the benefits and technical know-how of

proposed agri./horti. An intervention which would help in bringing the APIIATP a great success in

coming years. The data of LBT/sample tank/control tank indicates that, the farmers in the project area

already have past experience in seed production activity for the last 7-8 years, however the activity

was not consistent over the years. Seed production by farmer in the project areas is given prime

importance under APIIATP inorder to encourage crop and varietal diversification in the project area

and thereby increase crop production.

Along with agriculture, the project also supported horticultural activities in the project districts.

Promotion of climate resilient practices in horticultural activities will be the cross-cutting area in the

overall intervention.BarringSrikakulam, Krishna and Kurnool districts, in rest of the districts, good

progress was observed under the Horticulture sector in 2018-19. After the interventions taken up in

2018-19, no further progress was reported in 2019-20, except orientation training programs, due to

non-release of earlier spent amount in 2018-19. Department of Horticulture is also facing severe

12

shortage of Horticulture Officers, more so in Nellore district where only 50% HO posts are filled

against the actuals.

Based on the observations during the field visit and looking at the progress of the APIIATP as

assessed upto the fourth quarter, Suggestions as recommendations for smooth implementation of the

project.

1. The services of VillageAgri Asst. /Village Horti. Asst.are of great help in smooth

implementation of the project at ground level. There is a need to orient VASs/VHAs on

APIIATP.

2. One of the major reasons noticed for the slow progress in project implementation is delayed

in budget release and releasing of less amount against the proposed. This need to be taken as

priority.

3. Delay in transferring of input subsidy to a beneficiary under DBT is not grounding in true

spirit. Department staff is also finding difficulty in mobilizing the beneficiaries as the project

share will be transferred to beneficiary account only on a reimbursement basis. The Farmer is

borrowing money from private lenders and investing in activities in anticipation of an

immediate reimbursement from the project. To address the issue, it is suggested to keep some

budget at the disposal of district level implementing agency, so that the reimbursement of

bills will be done fast.

4. Poor coordination is noticed between the district level implementation team of Dept. of

Agri./Horti. and Support Organizations (as noticed in Vizianagaram district). A bi-monthly

review meeting for assessment of work progresses with line departments may be coordinated

at district level Agri/horti department offices.

5. Coordination between department of Agri./Horti. and Irrigation department appears to be

weak need focus.

6. Input distribution just for the sake of reaching the targets may be avoided. Before making the

project investments, through examination of the land is required. Farmers may be suggested

and facilitated to go for soil testing to find out the soil suitability for a particular crop while

promoting crop diversification. Team visited ChinnaSankarlapudi village in East Godavari

district and observed that the soils are highly saline and difficult to cultivate crops other than

paddy. In such cases, crop diversification may be promoted only after the amelioration of soil

fertility.

7.

8. The team has noticed that, ayacut farmers are not differentiated as head reach, middle reach,

tail end and influence zone categories based on the location of their lands within the ayacut

area. Such differentiation is required for the monitoring team for the sampling purposes

during the impact assessment study. It will also help to understand the crops and cropping

system dynamics in relation to water availability within the ayacut area. An authentic and

scientific method of reach wise differentiation of ayacut lands may be explored to make the

project assessment study more scientific.

13

9. Department staff has expressed difficulty in communication and delivery of project benefits

in tank villages where the WUA is absent, especially in cascade tanks where the WUA/

Committee is absent. There appears a need to frame the guidelines on Water User Committee

formation in cascade tanks and implementation of the guidelines at earliest possible.

10. Few district nodal officers have expressed difficulty in visiting the project sites, especially

when the villages are far away from headquarters. They don’t have access to vehicles for

local travel.

Component- B2

Climate Smart Aquaculture Production

The under this component activities are in planning phase. The detailed planning has been done on

various activities and budget estimations are also done for the following activities.

Establishment of fresh water fish Brood banks

Upgrading and modernisation of fish seed farms

Establishment of captive seed nurseries

Construction of fish landing centres

Providing equipment for aqua labs

Supply of fishing and post-harvest fishing inputs

The trainings have been organized in three districts, Ananathapur, East Godavari and Vizianagaram.

Component- C

Post-Harvest Management, Market and Agri-Business Promotion:

The Tank Development Plans (TDP)/Cascade Development Plans (CDP) preparation is in progress

and planning process is facilitated by CADA. AOs/HOs of respective areas are also participating in

the planning process. Monitoring team has interacted with the FPO members, other farmers and

department officials to understand the reasons for slow progress in the implementation of project

activities. While interacting with FPO members and other farmers, the team has noticed that the

farmers are aware of the benefits of the proposed interventions and are looking forward for the project

implementation in their villages. Monitoring team has also noticed that the orientation programs

conducted at Mandal level and village level have created good awareness to FPO members, other

farmers on the project interventions and implementation modalities. Implementation team is now

focusing on identifying the Infrastructure requirements at FPO level.

MANAGE,GoI has been identified as ABSO for providing consultancy services for supply and value

chain analysis, direct linkages with FPOs and providing market linkages. Also obtained approval from

World bank, whereas, clearance from Govt. of Andhra Pradesh is pending. Expected to obtain state

government clearance in a month.

In 2019-20, target was fixed to impart training to 18 FPOs, covering 905 FPO farmers in post-harvest

management, market and agribusiness promotion. Against the target, so far, 415 farmers in 10FPOs

were imparted training on marketing.of agriculture produce District level workshop on modernization

of existing markets in to e-markets involving buyers & sellers is completed in 12 districts. Agri.

Marketing department is coordinating in mapping the existing marketing infrastructure like

gowdowns, cold storage warehouse, etc. Exposure visits to 180 progressive farmers to model FPOs

14

within the state are completed in 10 districts. These exposure visits were completed by Dept. of

Agriculture with the support of respective district level Support Organizations (SOs).CIG formation is

in progress. Monitoring team has been told that the farmer groups (CIGs) once formed will be taken

to exposure visits as per the need & requirement.

It is proposed to supply 32 secondary processing units to CIG farmers, at the total cost of

320Lakhs.Empanelment of suppliers of secondary processing units is in progress by Dept. of

Agriculture.

It is proposed to take up 21 nos. of rural godowns with an expenditure of 630 lakhs in the state. Site

for rural godowns is identified, design finalized and estimations are drawn and submitted for

administrative sanctions in Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, East Godavari and West Godavari, Krishna,

Srikakulam, Anantapuramu and Kurnool. Administrative approvals for the same is accorded and

technical sanction is under process and estimates are under scrutiny. The entire activity is taken care

by the Dept. of Agriculture.

There are 177 FPOs existing in the area of 228 tanks out of 651 project tanks. The FPOs are formed

different agencies such as

NABARD- 21

SERP - 93

ICRISAT - 1

Dept. of Agri - 9

Dept. of Horti - 53

Line departments are requested to verify the status of FPOs and categorize them under working

active/normal/dormant and also the infrastructure created with the FPOs. In the year 2019-20, it is

proposed to further strengthen 18 FPOs in 7 districts at a cost of 42 Lakhs.As of now, 18 FPOs were

identified and planning for training and exposure visits is in progress. Due to the budget constraint the

progress is at a slow pace. Monitoring Team has been told that the training and capacity building

program for the FPOs is expected to be complete by March 2020.

Component- D

The procurement of key organisations/ institutes has been completed. Support organisations (SO),

External M&E agency, APCFSS for MIS & GIS development and all the organisations are on their

rolls. Out of 12 districts, the APDs have been provided office space in 9 DPUs. The computers and

printers are available in six (6) districts and rest of the districts are permitted to buy but because of

delay due to administrative procedures, the remaining districts are not able to procure these items. In

seven (7) districts, the DPU office is located at district head quarter whereas in five (5) districts office

is located at other than district Headquarters. The Project Management Unit (PMU) has conducted

trainings/workshop/exposure visits to the project staff. Total of project staff trained is 2500 members,

till June ending. At state level, the MIS and GIS software is in usage.

resilience to climate variability in selected tank systems of Andhra Pradesh”. The

components of the projects are

Component A has three sub-components:

A.1: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building of WUAs;

A.2: Rehabilitation and Modernization of the SSCBI systems;

A.3: Improving Water Productivity and Efficiency;

Component B has two sub components

B.1: Climate Smart Crop Production and Diversification;

B.2: Climate Smart Aquaculture Production.

Component C: Post-harvest Management, Market and Agribusiness Promotion

Component D: Project Management and Capacity Building

1.2 Geographical Coverage

The proposed project will be implemented over a period of 6 years, providing benefits to

0.2million farming families directly covering about 90,000 Ha of agriculture land in 1,200

tank command areas. The project will cover entire state12 districts (except Guntur), in the

state with an intensive focus on agricultural development in four north-coastal districts of

AP (Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam areasofEastGodavari district

23

1.3 Project Beneficiary

The project will have a number of beneficiaries in different categories, i.e., farmers, tenants,

fishers etc., based on the scope of the project and framed activities. While, overall selection

and involvement of beneficiaries will be based on the existing guidelines of the Government,

in order to make the intervention inclusive and result oriented.

1.4. Methodology

The project covers several aspects: Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Building of

Water Users Associations to manage the tank systems and groundwater sources, and to

improve land and water productivity through promotion of sustainable agriculture. Taking the

multi-disciplinary nature of the project into account, tools of different disciplines have been

developed for data collection and for assessment of the project interventions. Thus, the

external monitoring and evaluation agency comprises a team with multi-disciplinary expertise

to avail in its approach to the task. The concurrent monitoring has been conducted by a team

of multi-disciplinary experts from relevant disciplines.

To realize the objectives of the assignment and the tasks involved a combination of different

data collection methods were used. An important method with socio-anthropological

dimensions used is based on a participatory observation and assessment.

1.4.1 Selection of Households and sample

The systematic Random procedure was followed in selecting the householdsinthe project and

control tanks. Accordingly, 15 households were randomly selected from each of the selected

project and control tanks. Thus, a total of640 households were selected from project tanks

and 162 households from control tanks. Further, from selected households, due care was

taken to include the total households in the ratio of 5:5:5 from head, middle and tail end

reaches of the ayacut from selected tanks.

As per the M&E design, a sample of 60 tanks wassupposedtobecovered during the half yearly

period but the team able to conducted study across 54 tanks and 6 tanks are not covered due

to Corona Pandemic. The team not able to cover five (5) tanks in Vishakhapatnam district

and one (1) tank in Srikakulam.. The details of the visited tanks have been given in annexure-

1

1.4.2 Collection of data

Schedules were prepared for capturing the required information at tank, WUA and household

levels for primary and secondary levels of data. The interview schedule was pre-tested in the

field before the survey by duly including PMU. For furnishing WUA, Tank Schedules, the

data was collected through using PRA techniques like transect walks, FGDs, perusal of

records and discussions with key informants.

24

1.4.3 Method of collection

Minimum one or two members of the external M&E team visited each selected tank and

collected data for Tank, WUA schedules through interview method and also verified the

relevant records.

1.4.4 Survey Team

Separate 4 teams were recruited for household survey (investigators) i.e one team for 3

districts (each team consist of 4 members) for collecting primary data with respect to

household schedules.

1.4.5 Limitations

The sample selected for these categories are based on intelligent perceptions of Tank Reach

rather than any well-defined demarcation. Clear-cut demarcations of Head, Middle and Tail

are not available at tank level as it is under Minor Irrigation.

The control tanks are not exactly similar to project tanks as they are dry / non-functional

tanks due to occurrence of drought for several years;

In some places Pucca Revenue/Irrigation Records are not made available for cross

verification of field data.

Some farmers are not keen to inform their income and value of their assets while collecting

data from respondents of Longitudinal Benefit Tracking (LBT).

Component – A1

Chapter -2

Institutional Strengthening & Capacity Building of WUAs

As per the Andhra Pradesh Farmers Management of Irrigation Systems (APFMIS) Act, there

shall be a Water Users Association for every water user’s area, delineated on a hydraulic

basis and in case of minor irrigation system, the entire command area may, as far as possible

form a single water user’s area.

The goal of strengthening of WUAs is to ensure efficient and effective management of water

resources and addressing climate variability impacts on agriculture and allied sectors by

water conservation and its judicious allocation, along with promoting climate resilient

technologies and practices. This can be fulfilled only when the WUAs take over the primary

responsibilities such as Tank system improvement and its management, implementation of

sectoral activities with community participation.

Guiding Principles of Institutional Strengthening:

The project has clearly written guiding principles that every member of WUA has to work

towards them. These are the project beliefs and values which guide the WUA for high

performance decision making. The following are the guiding principles set by the project:

Water User Association (WUA) shall mobilize its members to participate in the

implementation of all project activities such as tank system development, joint azmoish for

water tax finalization and collection, auditing of WUA books, corpus mobilization and finally

assuming responsibility for O&M of tanks. Supported by a para worker and facilitated by the

Support Organization, WUA will motivate all tank system stakeholders to take advantage of

all sectoral activities, such as, efficient water use, including crop-water budgeting, water

sharing, climate resilient Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries, and Agri-business.1

As part of an institutional strengthening process, so as to assume the responsibility of tank

system development and its management by WUAs, systematic enhancement of WUA

capacities is crucial. To increase the capacities of WUAs for effective governance and

functioning, there are several key instruments designed such as at least one monthly meeting

of the WUA managing committee where the members discuss the activities that are

happening around tank including project measures like climate resilient crop planning, water

budgeting, water management etc., The General body meeting once in six months where

review of plans, approval of plans, water governance/ management related issues are

discussed. Besides these, participation in Tank Development (TDP) /Cascade Development

Plans (CDP), working with fisheries/ farmers’ cooperatives and encouraging women’s

participation in the project activities are other instrumental elements towards strengthening

WUAs.

26

2.1WUA strengthening and Formation of New WUAs/ Re-delineation of existing WUAs:

Total Tanks and WUAs: By the end of the reporting period (December 2019), across 12

districts, there are 652 tanks approved under 3 TACs (TAC1, TAC2, TAC3). While 323are

Independent tanks, there are 329 tanks under the cascade system; almost 50% under

Independent and cascade tank systems. All the independent tanks have more than 100 acres

ayacut. About 47% of the tanks under cascade system (155 tanks) have below 100 acres

ayacut and the rest 53% of the tanks have above 100 acres ayacut (174 tanks2).

Out of 323Independent tanks, 298 tanks (93 %) have WUAs and of these, 278 tanks (93 %)

have Managing Committees (MC) and the rest 20 WUAs doesn’t have MCs. The major

reason for the absence of MCs is the local political environment. Though the members are

identified still the MC is not constituted because there was no consensus on who would be the

President and Vice President. This situation still exists in Kurnool, Prakasam, West Godavari

and Vizianagaram Districts.

Out of 329Cascade tanks, with greater or equal to 100 acres ayacut,93 % have WUAs and of

these 84 % have Managing Committees (MC). The reasons for absence of MC in cascade

WUAs are the same as with the committees where Independent Tanks don’t constitute MCs.

Formation of New WUAs& Re-delineation of WUAs:Based on the available information,

it is evident that there is a need for the formation of new WUAs. In the cascade system, the

tanks that are below 100 ac ayacut are not part of any WUA system. Formation of new

WUAs wherever qualifies, and bringing in tanks with below 100 ac ayacut into the WUA

system would be easier for managing the project and the project interventions expected to be

more effective.

The District teams (APDs) know the information about the requirement of Re-Delineation of

WUAs/ formation of new WUAs and are ready to be part of the exercises. APDs said that the

process has to be driven by Government personnel. Further, they also said that before the

process begins, it may also require training of APDs, SO teams and Para workers on Re-

delineation of WUAs/ formation of new WUAs.

2.2 Institutional Aspects in tanks with below 100 acres ayacut area:

Out of 652 approved tanks, there is no single Independent tank with less than 100 ac ayacut.

And, there are about 156 tanks in cascades with less than 100 ac ayacut. The district wise

number of such tanks are given in the table below. In absence of WUA for the tanks greater

than 100 ac ayacut there is an arrangement made by DPUs to work with the ayacut farmers.

As per this arrangement the DPU and SO teams work with key farmers from ayacut and

village along with the village sarpanch to take the project interventions to ayacut farmers;

these are not fixed members. And it is also to be noted that there is no mandate to these

members to attend the meeting arranged by project personnel. These members are consulted

to take any project related decisions in a meeting arranged in the village.

2 In Krishna District, there are only 10 tanks with greater or equal to 100 ac ayacut in TAC 1, TAC2, TAC3

together, as per Gazette. But, as per DPR 11 tanks are being considered now in APIIATP. Similarly, In

Kadapa District, Peddullapally Tank in B.KodurMandalayacut is shown as 16 acres which has actually

more than 100 acres ayacut.

For effective implementation of the project and to involve communities in the project it was

suggested by the state to form cascade committees/ re-delineation of WUAs wherever

necessary. It was reported that it was not initiated, as there was no clarity on how to proceed.

The district teams are expecting guidelines on this. Further, the district teams are also

expecting training on formation of the cascade committee to move forward with clarity.

If any intervention has to be initiated in such tanks, the APDs expressed that in absence of a

cascade committee or any formal committee from a project point of view, they would

consider SHG or any other local community-based organisation which can take up the

activity.

Sub Committees:

The APFMIS act proposes to constitute four sub committees for each of the WUA to ensure

the effective tank system improvement and its management with ayacutfarmers active

participation. The four sub committees are namely;

1. Works sub-committee

2. Finance and Resources sub committee

3. Water management sub-committee and

4. Monitoring, Evaluation and Training sub-committee.

The act suggests 4 members in each of the sub-committee where the convener of each

subcommittee is a MC member and the rest are ayacut farmers.

The sub-committee formation is initiated in the districts but not in all. These sub-committees

wherever formed are not yet assumed their responsibilities; they are in their infancy stage. A

training of sub-committees/ its members is required to perform their responsibilities.

The sub-committee status in the project villages visited by M&E teams is as follows

2.3 Capacity Building of WUAs:

The Water User Association (WUA) and their Managing and sub-committees are inclusive

and are key in project implementation. The capacity building of these stakeholders besides

others is crucial. Training of these stakeholders would increase the capacity to perform their

roles to achieve the project objectives and goals. To achieve this, a capacity building plan for

all kinds of stakeholders involved in the project is necessary.

The PMU has suggested certain training themes to DPUs to be delivered at respective

Districts. Based on the number of project tanks and their status (whether WUAs have been

constituted, MCs are set up…etc.,) the SO and DPUs planned their CB activities for the entire

year with Quarterly breakup. These plans were submitted for approval and are approved.

During the time of visit to Districts in the month of December 2019, the SO and DPU teams

were planning for the training and orientation programmes for paraworkers, WUA and MC

members. However, it was brought to the team notice later that the training programmes for

paraworkers as well as other training programmes proposed for WUA members are initiated

in the districts which are proposed for the year.

There is no register observed for recording training programmes at WUA level. Along with

the existing registers maintenance of a training programmes register is also recommended at

the WUA level. This keeps a record of all the training programmes and members attended

those programmes.

The following are the training programmes with target group and duration approved for the

year 2019-20 as part of Capacity Building of WUAs

2.4 WUA Office Infrastructure:

To perform the WUA responsibilities effectively and to give them institutional identity, the

project has proposed to support WUAs for construction of office buildings in the project

villages. As per the guidelines for construction of office buildings and its design

communicated to DPUs, the progress of creating Office Infrastructure is as follows in

different districts as of December 2019.

Table 2.4. Status of Office Building infrastructure

Of the 50 tanks the M&E teams have visited, the office building related process is in progress

in 2 tanks of East Godavari and 1 each in Krishna Visakhapatnam districts.

The major issues observed in the process of creating WUA office infrastructure are:

30

No unanimity among MC members on location

Getting land conversion/ land ownership certificate from Revenue Department is

taking time

Conflict with other infrastructure proposed in the same tank village

Estimations were sent back to districts from head office for re-estimations with latest

SSR

There are no exclusive offices noticed either in rented or in own buildings to perform the

WUA activities and to deliver the functions. Whenever there is a needfor space for WUA

related meetings/ gathering, the members prefer either at the panchayat buildings or the

president’s house.

2.5 WUA Records and Maintenance:

Record maintenance is a crucial and important activity of

WUAs. It is a systematic recording of transactions,

events, decisions, etc., which ensures transparency and

provides answers to many questions at any stage of the

project.

There are 9 different books recommended by the project,

printed centrally and sent to DPUs at District level. The

books were distributed during April and May 2019

months by Support Organisations(SO) to WUAs in the

districts.

In all the districts, the record maintenance is initiated

except Kadapa. Depending on the capability and initiative

of SO team members and APDs, there is a variation in record management from district to

district. While there is a district like Vizianagaram where only 1 register is being maintained

in Krishna district there are 7 types of records maintained. The overall status of record

maintenance is given in the table below.

While on 3 books (Minutes book, Ayacut members book and Visitors book) doesn’t require

special training the other books prescribed require training for both SO team and para

workers. As part of the paraworkers training programme conducted on roles and

responsibilities, the overview of books was given to the paraworkers which the paraworkers

felt did not equip them enough to write books on their own. They may need hand-holding

support till the time they write books on their own.

There are other books (ex: water flow and canal gauge recording, cash book) for which the

training programmes may be organised as and when the need arises.

In addition to the existing books, the books such as Training register and PGM registers may

be required at WUA level to keep the track of project interventions / activities. Further, as

part of strengthening WUAs, the sub committees are also formed. The sub committees are

also supposed to meet periodically to discuss respective project interventions. To record these

discussions sub- committee meeting registers at WUA are also required to maintain.

2.6 Para workers:

To support the WUAs in their functions, a ‘para-worker’ support system is provided. Clear

guidelines for identification of para workers are circulated among DPUs. The para worker

identification was carried out in two phases till reporting period. Where the M & E teams

have visited, except in north coastal districts the paraworkers exist in all the tanks with

WUAs. It was found that paraworkersexist in Kadapa district for the tanks without WUA.

The paraworkers are supporting SO teams and MCs in communicating project related

information to WUA members, records maintenance, mobilising farmers for meetings and

planning exercises being conducted in villages.

As reported in the previous report, based on the current experience, finding para-workers for

the next set of projects would be a difficult task as per the criteria set for identification of

para-worker. Some relaxation may be given in educational qualification; instead of 10th

standard candidates an educated person who can read and write with agriculture as the

primary work may be selected.

Again, as reported previously, there are two main issues observed related to paraworker

payments, i.e., amount of payment made which is considered to be very nominal by them and

secondly, delay in payment of their honorarium.

32

Out of 62 tanks the M & E teams have visited, 50 are project tanks. The status of para

workers in these 50 tanks (District wise) is given in the table below.

There are important issues to bring to notice with regard to paraworker’s acceptance by

communities. In most of the districts, the identified para workers are not allowed for taking

responsibility. The situation has aroused due to the changing political environment at the

local level. The para-workers are also not daring to get involved in project activities with fear

that hostile situations may happen. A decision on whether or not to continue with these para-

workers has to be taken at the earliest.

2.7 Social Audit and Public Disclosure:

Setting up/ Displaying Social Audit Boards (SAB) is one of the important aspects of

transparency measures under the project. Beside transparency, the social audit boards help in

bringing awareness among the community which may in turn lead to effectiveness of the

project.

The social audit boards are being set up in Ananthapur, Nellore and West Godavari districts

and yet to be set up in remaining districts. However, wherever the boards are set up needs to

be updated. Besides SAB, as part of awareness generation among communities, wall writings

were taken up in project villages at initial stage of the project. In Vizianagaram, the wall

writings were completed in 5 projects.

The status of social audit boards set up in sample project villages visited is as follows

2.8 Water Tax & Corpus Collection:

The project envisages that the WUA has to conduct joint azmoish along with agriculture,

water resources and revenue department to assess the cropping area under the tank.

Accordingly, tax will be levied and collected from individual farmers.

The major responsibility of tax collection is with the Revenue department. There is no event

of joint azmoish is observed or reported in the field during the reporting period or agriculture

season prior to the visit. The involvement of WUA in tax collection is also not reported in

any of the project villages.

In all the districts (except in East Godavari), the staff felt that collection of water tax details

from the revenue department is a tiresome job. There were several requests (formal in few

cases) and visits to the revenue department that were turned out as failures. Besides

information gathering, getting WUAs’ share of water tax/ plough back is also not happening/

not observed in any district during the year. The staff also expressed that the process of

getting WUAs’ share is also complicated and needs to be simplified.

Water tax collection and plough back are crucial steps in empowering WUAs. There must be

an action plan towards initiating the process. And this action plan must be monitored at all

levels periodically. Unless the farmers pay the tax and get their share as plough back, the

WUAsmay not get the required resources to discharge their functions.

2.9 Support Organisations:

The NGOs who have relevant experience, local presence and who have proven experience in

Community Mobilisation, Agriculture Development and Trainings etc., were identified and

selected as Support Organisations to facilitate the implementation of the project interventions

through Water User Associations (WUA).

34

The key roles of SOs are to facilitate project implementation process, coordination with line

departments who are part of project implementation, community mobilisation and creating

awareness at community level, support in building capacities of communities / WUAs,

preparing project completion reports and its submission.

By the end of the reporting period, there are 16 number of SOssupporting the project

activities, except in Kadapa district. In all the districts the Support Organisations are working

with their full teams in the districts/ projects the team has visited. OrganisingWUA/ MC

meetings, books updation, hand holding para-workers, basic data collection, sub-committee

formation, preparatory work for TDP/ CDP and facilitating the same are the works taken up

by the SO teams till date. In all the districts during the visits, the SO teams were found to be

active in their roles. However, it was observed that the staff are different than those

mentioned earlier in the agreement (ex: Nellore) due to staff turnover.

The system of rating of SOs is adopted to assess the performance of SOs which in turn will

increase the effectiveness of the project implementation. There are several indicators based

on the functions/ role of SOs for rating. These indicators are divided into 5 categories,

namely Institutional Sustainability, Technical Sustainability, Climate Smart Agriculture,

Financial Sustainability, NGO Administration and Monitoring & Evaluation. The rating

frequency is on a monthly basis. As all the project interventions are not introduced at the

project villages, certain parameters are excluded from the rating chart as these are not

relevant at this point of time. Thus, the rating is reduced to eligible parameters only.

The following is the summary of SO rating for the period Oct to Dec 2019 submitted to PMU

by respective districts.

2.10 WUA Self-Rating

The project envisages that there are about 15 types of key activities to be monitored by WUA

on their own. The key elements of self-monitoring include:

Participation and Dialogue,

Performance,

Self-management and

Innovation & Technology Adoption.

36

This event has to be exercised on quarterly basis and this exercise has to be facilitated by

paraworkers and SO team members. The rating of projects the M & E teams have visited are

consolidated in the table below.

In Kadapa, no rating exercise was carried out as there is no Support Organisation (SO) to

facilitate. The exercise was not conducted (Not applicable) where there is no WUA. Out of

50 tanks visited 23 WUAs (55%) are in B grade and 19 tanks (45%) are in C grade by the end

of Dec 2019.

The impact of WUA rating exercise has not seen uniformity on WUAs across districts. A

training of SO teams and para-workers who are the facilitators of the WUA self-rating

exercises would result in good impact on WUA functioning. Had they been trained on this

tool and process, they could have facilitated more efficiently. The training of Para workers

and SO team on ‘facilitating WUA self-rating’ could be one of the priority items. A poster to

facilitate WUA self-rating could be not only of much use but it will take the message to the

community more efficiently.

It was observed that not all the WUAs are recording the proceedings of WUA self-rating

exercise in their books. It has to be ensured that these exercises must be recorded in WUA

books.

2.11 Cascade Development Plans & Tank Development Plans:

Cascade Development plan is one of the important activities of the project implementation.

This is also one of the means of strengthening WUAs where the members of it participate to

restore the traditional irrigation tanks which are connected. The Tank Development Plans

(TDP) are just initiated in the project. As part of TDP/CDP, PMU has organised training of

DPU teams, SOs and WUA members on Tank Development Planning (TDP) process. There

were 4 training programmes planned to organise, one each in each region/ cluster. Two

training programmes, one for Krishna, East Godavari and West Godavari partners and the

other one for Kadapa, Kurnool, Ananthapur district partners were organised. Participatory

methodologies, Participatory methods for collecting information, delineation of tank

command area is key content of the training. The trainings planned in other districts were not

able to organize due to pre and post-election situations.

The process of TDP/ CDP was initiated in the project districts during the reporting period.

The TDP/ CDP process is being carried out for 5-6 days in each of the project villages. This

entire process involves collection of socio economic, cropping pattern, land use, groundwater

use, tank irrigation systems, issues related to tank development, marketing information etc.,

The PRA exercise is one of the key processes observed in the entire activity where the

villagers had scope for collective participation to discuss their tank development plans. Social

mapping and Resource mapping exercises were found common in all the TDP/ CDP

processes across villages. Of the two PRA exercises, Resource mapping was found to be

interesting for all as this facilitated the discussion on issues related to tank development and

appropriate interventions. The personnel from line departments also participated in most of

the districts.

The following is the status of CDP/ TDP exercises in the villages the M &E teams visited.

2.13 Analysis of WUA Data

There were 62 WUAs surveyed during the reporting period. Of these 62 tanks 50 are Project

tanks and the rest 12 are non-project (control) tanks. Out of 62 tanks 54 tanks have WUAs

and the rest 8 tanks don't have WUAs (non-WUA tanks). Of the 8 tanks which doesn’t have

WUAs 6 belongs to the project and the rest 2 tanks are control tanks. The details are

Note: The Social expert covered two sample tanks extra during the study

2.13.1 Ayacutdars:

At every WUA level, as part of book keeping a WUA has to maintain a set of books. Ayacut

members register is one of the prescribed registers which gives authentic information about

ayacutdars and the extent. It is not fully updated in most of the tanks visited. Based on the

data from WUA registers, information available with APDs and in APIIATP website for 50

project tanks, it was observed that while there are about 75% of ayacutdars are male and the

rest 25% are female ayacutdars. In case of control tanks, data for sex wise land holding is not

available.

The details of ayacutdars by district are given in annexure 2.1

2.13.2 Tank Uses and Users:

The major uses of tanks are irrigation and groundwater recharge. Apart from these, the tanks

are also being used for other purposes such as drinking water, cattle grazing, domestic

purpose etc., Keeping aside the irrigation and groundwater users, of the 62 tanks visited, the

majority of the tanks are being used for cattle grazing (40%) followed by Fisheries (35%).

The dependency on the tanks by villagers is a bit different from percent of tank uses; about

76% of the population/ households depend on tanks for cattle grazing followed by

GP/Municipality (11%). The details are given in annexure 2.2

While comparing Control and Project tanks, cattle grazing appears to be a popular use in

project tanks. This is followed by Fishery, washer men and drinking water (by Grama

Panchayat). In control tanks fishery activity is observed in 50% of tanks followed by cattle

grazing in 42% of the tanks.

It is observed that the lascar system exists in 8% of both control and project tanks. Regarding

the Neeruganti system, from the data, in 25% of control tanks the neeruganti system exists

whereas it is 38% in project tanks. It is reported that in 58% of project tanks, the neeruganti is

paid by WUAs, whereas the farmers are paying in 32% of the tanks. In control tanks, in 67%

of the tanks the farmers are paying neerugantis’. While the cash mode of payment to

neeruganti is observed as 63% in project tanks it is 100% in control tanks. In about 37% of

the tanks the neerugantis are paid in the form of cash.

2.13.4 Irrigation to Tail End Farmers:

Whenever water is available sufficiently for the season, it is observed that in only 40% of the

tanks, the tail end farmers are receiving irrigation. In about 38% of cases the tail end farmers

are receiving irrigation in project tanks whereas it is 50% in case of control tanks. It is

observed that the sluices are closed permanently in 17% and 2% of control and project tanks

respectively.

Lack of maintenance of field channels is the main reason for the tail enders not getting water.

The lack of maintenance is also linked to series of droughts and also for the reason the

operation and maintenance (O&M) is absent in the tanks.

The district wise details are given in annexure 2.5

2.13.5 Drought & Shortfall years:

About 71% of the tanks suffered drought and shortfall in the last five years. About 35% of

tanks suffered 2 shortfalls in the last five years followed by 5 and 4 shortfalls in 15% of

tanks. The table given below explains the drought scenario in the project areas as well as

control tanks.

It was observed that the majority of the project tanks (36%) had 2 shortfalls in the last 5

years. It was noticed that about 8% and 34% of tanks in Control and Project areas

respectively did not suffer any shortfalls. Details in annexure 2.6

2.13.6 Assessment and Allocation of Water:

It was reported that in about 32% of cases there is informal understanding among farmers

with allocation to head reach farmers only. While in about 44% of cases there is no

assessment and allocation made. In about 5% cases this situation has not arisen as the sluices

closed permanently. And, in 2% of tanks it was reported that the WUA has formal

understanding and record. The table below shows the picture of allocation of water in both

control and project tanks.

Tanks. It noticed that informal understanding among head reach farmers is more in control

tank farmers (42%) compared to project tanks (30%). It is also noticeable that in 2% of the

tanks, WUA has formal understanding and record in project areas whereas it is not observed

in control tanks.

Within the project group, when Non WUA and WUA tanks are compared, in about 67% of

Non WUA tanks no assessment and allocation is made whereas it is 45% in the WUA tanks

group. Informal understanding among head reach farmers is more (32%) in WUA tanks

compared to non- WUA tanks (17%). Various scenarios existing in the project tanks can be

observed in the table above. District wise details are enclosed in annexure 2.7

2.13.7 Crop planning before season:

It was reported that, in about 52% of cases there is no crop planning made for any agriculture

seasons (both the control and project tanks). However, it was reported that in about 24% of

cases an informal understanding on wet crops only exists whereas it is 18% in the case of

informal understanding on wet and ID crops. Further, in about 5% of cases, there is no scope

for allocation of tank water as the sluices are closed permanently.

It was reported that in about 52% of tanks the water distribution is continuous without

rotation followed by continuous with rotation (34%). Regulated water supply (daytime) with

rotation and without rotation is reported as 5% each. And, the rest of the tanks have no

sluices (sluices closed permanently).

2.13.10 Meetings:

General body meetings: The general body meetings are observed in 10 WUAs from 4

districts (Ananthapuram, East Godavari, Krishna and Chittor) which is 20% of tanks. It was

reported that the general body meetings are held in the project villages but the proceedings

not recorded.

Managing Committee meetings: Managing Committee (MC) meetings are being organized

in the project villages where the M&E teams visited. The average attendance of MC members

found to be varied from district to district which is in the range of 2 to 6. The average

attendance of MC members in Anantapur, East Godavari and Kurnool is 2, in Nellore,

Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts it is 3, in West Godavari district it is observed as 4

and in Visakhapatnam and Krishna districts the average attendance is observed as 6 which is

maximum.

The things that get the most attention at the meetings in order of preference are (highest to

lowest) works, planning, maintenance of works, collection of water charges, functioning of

sub committees, and WUA accounts.

2.14 Others:

2.14.1 Disputes with regard to Water Distribution:

Nowhere the disputes related to water distribution are reported except in one case in Krishna

District which was resolved by WUA.

2.14.2 Adoption of Water saving technologies:

It was observed that the water saving technologies are adopted in project villages in non-

command area/ rain fed areas. Except in one tank in Krishna District the adoption of water

saving technologies is not reported anywhere in the projects visited.

47

2.15 Key observation & Suggestions

It was observed that not all the WUAs are recording the proceedings of WUA self-

rating exercise in their books. It has to be ensured that these exercises must be

recorded in WUA books.

As part of strengthening the WUAs, preparation of an action plan towards initiating

the water tax collection process and implementation of the same is very important.

And this action plan must be monitored at all levels periodically.

In most of the districts, the identified para workers are not allowed for taking

responsibility, due to local political environment. The paraworkers are also not daring

to get involved in project activities due to fear factor.. A decision may be taken about

the continuation of existing Paraworkers, This kind of situation prevailed especially

Nellore, Srikakulam, East Godavari, Vizianagaram, Krishna districts.

In addition to the existing books, the books such as Training register and PGM

registers may be required at WUA level to keep the track of project interventions,

activities.

As part of strengthening WUAs, the sub committees are also formed. The sub

committees are also supposed to meet periodically to discuss respective project

interventions. To record these discussions subcommittee meeting registers at WUA

are also required to maintain.

In 60% of the project tanks, the tail end farmers are getting water. One of the

situations is because of lack of maintenance of field channels for years. Operation and

maintenance plans have to be put in place to improve the situation.

Social audit boards have to be set up on priority basis in all the project villages where the

plans for carrying out physical works are approved/ sanctioned.

Component – A2

Chapter – 3

Rehabilitation and Modernization of SSCBI System

3.1 Introduction

Sub-Component on Rehabilitation and Modernization of SSCBI systems (with total provision

of US$133.5 million, Rs 868 Crores is to be being spentin all 12 districts under

APIIATP(World Bank). This subcomponent has the objective to modernize the irrigation

infrastructure of about 1,000 tank systems located in 178 cascades (485 tanks) and 515

independent tanks by adopting a competitive approach to financing the investments. Total

area to be covered is about 90,000 ha. Important works to be executed by Water Resources

Department (WRD) through its irrigation Divisions include (i) modernizing control structures

(diversion weirs), supply channels, and cross-regulation structures; (ii) de-silting feeder and

supply channels; (iii) strengthening and upgrading tank bunds, earthen dams, spillways,

distribution canals, field channels, and drainage line treatment within the cascade; (iv)

installing flow measurement devices in selected irrigation canal/field channel, (v) using

modern quality-testing devices to determine soil compaction and the quality and durability of

concrete structure. Focus of the report is on the process of execution of different items/

components of works for which contracts are signed with contractors. Before formulating the

report, the engineering expert has studied the activities taken up after signing of agreement

between the Government and the World Bank as well as before signing the agreement. All

observations and suggestions put forward are aimed at timely completion of the works

needed for rehabilitation of independent tanks and tank cascades for with assured quality.

This report is outcome of the external monitoring taken up for APIIATP for the period (July-

December 2020). In the approved methodology for External Monitoring, there are 24 LBT

tanks and 24 sample tanks. Status of activities in these LBT tanks and sample tanks are

discussed. District wise progress of works in different tanks where some civil construction

activities are undertaken is presented in tables.

Actions to be taken for accelerating the progress of civil works are presented at the end of

this chapter.

3.2. Progress of Civil works in independent tanks and tank cascades

3.2.1 No. of works grounded by the end of December 2019

A Number of works grounded till the end of first half yearly period, i.e., end of June 2019 is

179. During six months period i.e. from July to December 2019, some more works are

grounded in Nellore and Prakasham district. Thus, total no. of works grounded in 12

APIIATP project district has gone up to 186 (Table 4.1).

3.2.2 Progress of civil works during current half yearly monitoring period

Progresses of civil works till 31st December 2019 for each of 12 districts are monitored. It is

found that out of 186 works grounded around March 2019, progress above 50% has been

achieved in 38tanks(Table-1).

50

3.2.3 Process of construction

The process followed in the construction of concrete works, earth work, turfing, and

revetment was assessed duringthe monitoring. Dismantling of old structures and preparation

of foundation level was found to be done properly (Fig-1). Preparation of concrete mix,

laying of concrete, compaction of concrete was done (Fig-2 and Fig-3)

Figure 1 Photo sowing layout and compacted base for construction of Sluice in Ura tank

of West Godavari district

Figure 2 Photo shows laying of concrete with proper mix and compaction in Ura tank

in West Godavari district to make it desirable quality

51

Figure 3 Photo of shuttering and laying of concrete in Ura tank in West Godavari

district

3.2.4 Reasons for slow progress

Some valid reasons for slow progress as per field assessment are:

During the elections for the state assembly, there was impact of code of conduct.

Works are not carried out for about three months from the date of announcement on

dates of election and effective date of application of code of conduct till completion of

the election process.

Onset of Kharif season, resulting into irrigation from tanks and filling up of tanks

with water that obviously caused interruption in work execution.

Formation of new Government headed by a new Chief Minister. This Government

made a review about the execution of works under the sub-component of

rehabilitation and modernization of SSCBI system to take certain policy decisions.

Works were not carried out till such policy decision is communicated to the tendering

authority and the DPDs.

Government policy regarding cost of sand and its collection was changed

Because of all of the reasons and constraints on the availability of finance at state

level, there was deferral in payment of bills which has further resulted in slowing

down of the progress of civil works.

Technical sanctions are not issued for many works, even though administrative

approvals are accorded.

From the table above, it is seen that achievement of progress is above 50 % in 44 works. Few

of these works are expected to be completed within March 2020 or within the initial

agreement period. There will be need for giving time extension for the rest of the works. In

the category 25% to 49%, the progress is hampered due to the need of acceptance and

approval of deviations those have been identified during work execution at site and other

reasons mentioned in subsequent sections.

3.2.5 State and district wise analysis on progress of works

Critical analysis of physical progress in 12 project districts is made to present state wise and

district wise picture of progress in different category brackets viz. above 50%, 25-49% and

below 25%.

3.2.5.1 State level analysis

Out of186 tanks in 12 districts, 44 tanks have progress more than 50% covering 7 districts, 61

tanks have progress between 25% to 49% covering all 12 districts and 81 tanks with

dismal progress of below 24%. (Fig.). Percentage of tanks with progress more than 50% is 24

percent (44 works) , 24% to 49% is 33 percent (61 works) and below 25% is 43% (37 works).

Thus, the progress in the state after end of 2019 after almost one year of commence of work

executions can to be said to be very good. In the year 2020, most of the constraints like

election, review of policy by new State Government etc will not be there. Hence collective

effort by all concerned with work execution may be taken to improve the level of

performance/progress in the state.

53

.

3.2.5.2 District level analysis

Out of 12 districts, 2 districts namely Chittore, Nellore and Ananathapurare able to complete

the work greater than 50 percent, in the grounded tanks. The progress in these three districts

are good mainly because, these districts have less rainfall and the working days available

during January to December 2019 is more. This indicates good performance in these two

districts.

In 4 districts, namely Kurnool, East Godavari, West Godavari andPrakasham, there are some

tanks where the physical progress is more than 50%. In Kurnool there are no tanks with

progress less than 25% which is depicted in the graph as no red colour is seen. The

performance of Kurnol district with 19 tanks is good. The reason for this achievement is

found to be the mobilisation of work force in these tanks by the construction agencies. Also 2

districts are in the less rainfall zone except East Godavari and West Godavari.

54

In the remaining 5 districts namely Kadapa, Srikakulam, Viziyanagaram, Visakhpatanam and

Krishna district the progress is not greater than 50% in even single tank except Kadapa.

These districts are in north eastern zone and tribal area which are in comparatively high

rainfall zone. The work is not even carried out after June till December in many tanks. Due to

these constraints and other reasons like state elections, confusion regarding cost of sand rates

to be revised, contractors unwilling to work etc.

3.2.5.3 Cascade/Tank level analysis

Data on physical progress for all cascades/tanks where works are in progress are tracked.

Tank rehabilitation and modernization is carried by awarding works to construction agencies

through proper tendering process. The list of works as tendered and awarded to construction

agencies consists of two categories viz. (i) tank cascades and (ii) independent tanks. The

physical progress of works is monitored. The progress is tabulated in 4 categories such as (a)

above 50%,(b) 25 to 49%, (c) 10% to 24% and below 10%. Some of the works which have

reached progress up to 80% and above are likely to be completed with physical progress

reaching 100%. Works in the two categories 25 to 49%, (c) 10% to 24% may pick up

progress in the year 2000. PMU should be concerned for those works where progress is

below 10% and in many cases like 2%, 5% and direct the DPUs to critically review by calling

representatives of construction agencies. If the tendering authority after review comes to the

conclusion that the works cannot pick up progress in 2020, then these works may need to be

retendered by following due process of cancellation of agreement made almost 10 months

back particularly for works having physical progress below 10%. The cascade or independent

tank wise physical progress up to end of December 2019 for all 12 project districts are given

in annexure 4.1 to 4.12.

55

3.2.6 Sand related issue

The Present Government has changed the policy on procurement of sand for construction

activities in the state. While the DPRs as well as estimates were formulated, the cost of sand

was taken as Rs.90. 00. A revised rate based on the new policy is Rs.510.00 as was reported

by one DEE Visakhapatnam district. Implication on the total cost due to the hike in cost of

sand consequent to policy revision is an issue. An analysis was made and calculation for 20

works of Visakhapatnam district is given as Annexure-4.13 for illustration.

3.3. Assessment in LBT Tanks

As per the approved methodology, 24 tanks are selected for longitudinal benefit tracking

(LBT) as sample where improvements taking place in irrigation service will be assessed from

the beneficiary household. The sample of household is already selected. Concurrent

monitoring made for these tanks covered collection of status as whether works under sub-

component rehabilitation and modernization of CBSSI system has been undertaken and if

undertaken, then what works are carried out. Assessment made with a time line as 31st

December 2019 is presented in this section.

Singanmala and Y.T.Cherevu tanks are selected in Anantapur district.

Singanmala tank in Anantpur district

In this tank, the achievement of progress of civil works is 75%. Main works related to

modernization is construction of concrete distributary canals. The following Fig-13 to fig 16,

modernization activities are elucidated with pictures on the condition before, during and after

completion of civil works as part of modernization of the tank system.

Work has not been initiated in the LBT tank namely Y.T.Cherevu tank. This tank is one of

the tanks included in Mamuduru MI tank, cascade 02 in Mamaduru (Village) in Gooty

(Mandal) in Ananthapuramu district.

3.4. Assessment in Sample tanks

Peddha tank in Krishna district is a sample tank photoof is given (Fig-19). In this tank,

sluices are properly working. Construction works under APIIATP has not yet commenced.

For tracking the crop yield in Kharif 2020, arrangement should be made in consultation with

the WUAand other stakeholders.

Uracherevu tank (Fig-20) is a sample tank in Prakasham district. Surplus weir has been

constructed. Length of this structure is 50 meters. Tank bund strengthening work has also

been taken up in Ura tank.

Tank bund strengthening in Ura tank (Fig-21) in PrakashamdistrictPrakasham district. In

Kesavraju tank(Fig-22) in Prakasham district work has not yet commenced. (Fig-22)

3.5 Monitoring of Environmental and Social Safeguards Management in component A-2

Nearly 65 percent of the tanks to be developed under APIIATP have been surveyed, DPRs

prepared and approved for implementation. Bid documents prepared for execution of works

on rehabilitation and modernization contains EMP templates. Field assessment made during

external monitoring revealed that an additional 1 percent bank guarantee is taken by the

DPD/Executive Engineer against compliance with EMF. The social safeguards for this

project are largely related to: the inclusive approach adopted by the project; any likely

encroachments in tank bed area (if there is any); and the benefit-sharing mechanism adopted

by the project.

Key issues related to cascade/tank

Components of works as per the bid document

62

Activities in pre-construction stage and environmental mitigation measures

Potential environmental impact and mitigation measures

Some important mitigation measures, public safety and occupational health and safety are

mentioned below

The area should be kept free from water logging

Passage ways, walk ways, ramps should be kept free from materials, scraps and

obstruction

Measures for accidental spill of oil and lubricants

Disposal and waste water disposal

On completion of works, all temporary structures may be cleared away, all rubbish

disposed, excreta and disposal pits and trenches be filled and effectively sealed off

and the whole site will be in good condition before handing over the site by the

contractor.

Implementation responsibility, frequency of monitoring and monitoring responsibility is

provided in the Environment Management framework. As per this framework

implementation of environment activities is the responsibility of the contractor except

identification of site for disposal of silt and permission for tree cutting for which

implementation responsibility is conferred with the DPU/Engineer in charge. Following

Environment management plans prepared by the agency concerned and submitted to to DPUs

were verified.

EMP for Malludora tank (Independent), East Laksmipuram village, Yelleswaram

mandal, East Godavari district prepared by by SIRI Constructions.

EMP for Perumala tank (Independent), Lingampathy village, Yelleswaram mandal,

East Godavari district prepared by SIRI Constructions.

EMP for Kotha Tank Cascade No 5 in Kuppili Village in Etcherla Mandal in

Srikakulam district prepared by Sri G.V.Ramanaidu.

It is observed that there is need to modify the EMPs to cover all environmental parameters

which are covered by the concerned guidelines of World Bank. For Example;

a) The EMP should describe about the disposal of construction debris and state that

it is not done in on farmland, water courses etc. resulting in blocking natural

drainage.

b) The EMP should include statement that compliance with national Act on child

labour and minimum wage Act

c) The EMP should state that first aid and medical support at labour camps and

hygiene is ensured by proper waste disposal etc.

d) The EMP should incorporate that silt from tank bed is not removed and hence

there is environmental concern on account of silt frm tank bed or irrigation

channels, feeder channels.

e) The EMP should contain information on closing of canals during cropping season

when irrigation is required. If the canal is closed during the cropping season when

irrigation is required, then it has been done after consultation.

63

f) The EMP should state that proper monitoring of debris disposal was under taken

and the debris disposal has not led to any environmental consequences.

g) The EMP should make a mention that there was no complain received by DPU

regarding adverse environmental impact due to civil construction in the tank/tank

cascde.

It is suggested that DPUs may be given instruction to prepare Quarterly environmental

monitoring/compliance reports for all quarters after the construction works has been

commenced incorporating proper description/information on environmental concerns some

which are described above.

COMPONENT - A3

Chpater.4

Improving Water Productivity and Efficiency

4.1 Introduction:

The objective of this sub component A3 is to support in achieving greater irrigation coverage

in the tank command are in terms of area coverage by minimizing the gap ayacut.

Conjunctive use of surface area water and ground water will be coordinated with crop

planning and water budgeting and water sharing will be encouraged through implementing

participatory groundwater management. It will be helpful to irrigate more acers in the tank

command area, directly benefitting other water users or farmers.

The main aim of this PGM activity is not only improving the water efficiency and

productivity but also to promote conjunctive use of both surface water and groundwater in the

tank command areas and its zone of influence. Objectively, it looks at maximizing irrigation

coverage and minimizing the gap ayacut during deficient rainfall along with promoting water

use efficiency. As per the information, the project districts are now having 316 PGM groups

and formation of new groups is also in process.

As an external Monitoring and Evaluation, experts’ team of CTRAN have visited the districts

of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna,

Kurnool, Prakasam, and Anantapur from July to December 2019 as a part of quarterly

monitoring.

4.2 State Level PGM Activity Implementation Progress:

Year 2019-2020 planned with allotted budget of Rs 2,20,00,000/- under PGM activity. Till

now the sanctioned budget is only Rs 83,28,693/- (37.85%) remaining budget of Rs

1,36,71,307 (62.15%) is due from head office to project districts. In this connection, 4th

Quarter PGM activities were planned to be implemented as per the overall project

framework. Based on the budget, piezometers drilling sites are 309, but for only 117 sites,

technical sanctions have been approved from head office remaining 192 sites need to get

approvals from head office. This process is in progress between district offices and head

office. For this drilling of piezometer sites, each district submitted quotations and get

approval as per below mentioned table No 5.1.

68

Table 4.1: State Level Progress onPGM Activity

The total number of project tanks is 1000 in 12 districts. These project tanks are high in

number (142) in Nellore and less number (47) in East Godavari districts respectively. Out of

these 1000 tanks, approved tanks are 651 based on reconnoitery surveys and Geophysical

surveys completed statewide. The main reason for delay on approval is due to drilling points

changed from one place to another. Still, some relocation and resurveys are in progress in

state level.

Around 316 PGM groups are already formed at tank level, remaining groups’ formation and

training on PGM implementations are in progress at district levels. These PGM groups are

more in Srikakulam, Krishna and Prakasam districts, and less in Kurnool, Anantapuram,

Chittoor, Visakhapatnam, East and West Godavari districts. The main reason for less groups

formation in these districts is due to unavailability of bore well within the ayacut zone area. If

more bore wells available within the ayacut zone area, chances to form more groups. And

also, departmental guidelines were changed on this PGM activity state wide more often.

Some districts have formed a lesser number of PGM groups because, the APD team worked

initially on formation of PGM groups at only the tanks where technical sanction have been

issued. For example, in Kurnool, till December technical sanction has been given to only 4

tanks out of 46 tanks. The lesser number of PGM groups formation is not as an indicator for

APD performance. At the end of December 2019, trainings for PGM groups are completed

65% state level out of 116 programme planned, 76 trainings are completed.

69

Drilling of piezometers points is completed only 7.69% namely in Srikakulam district 5

points Prakasam district 2 points and Chittoor district 2 points respectively. Remaining

points, drilling works are in progress at state level.

4.3 Training/ Awareness programs for PGM Groups:

These training programs on participatory groundwater management (PGM) and it is imparted

to group members to create basic awareness on how to achieve objectives of A3 Component.

Under this component sub topics covered like

Zone of influence delineation

Hydrological monitoring

Jalachakram

How to function and strengthen PGM

The trainings have been conducted at tank level, in each training event about 80 – 100

participants have been involved. For each training 19-20 thousand rupees have been

sanctioned. The key resource persons for the training are Geologists, Agriculture offices,

NGO representative and PGM experts. Most of the trainings are in participatory mode. The

trainings have been imparted by developing material at district level by the APDs and NGOs,

but there are no standard training modules used for the training. All the APD – PGMs are

keen on modules for training. The PMU needs to work out the plan to conduct a workshop to

develop modules.

During the trainings, the following topics have been covered.

Ground water estimation,

Crop plans,

Crop water requirement,

Crop water budgeting,

Water sharing

New bore wells usage, and

Conjunctive use of surface and groundwater etc.

to create an additional area for irrigation to promote crop diversification in Rabi crops from

December 2019 onwards. Now the members have basic awareness and understanding on the

importance of the PGM objective of this project. However, the project has planned to develop

their capacity further in terms of water management, crop water budgeting and water sharing.

PHM data collection equipment supply, PHM data display, workshops of crop water

budgeting, field days (at the end of hydrological year) and groundwater sharing between

WUAs willing, farmers willing, sharing completions for additional farmers benefit and also

additional area acres proposed for irrigation during Kharif & Rabi season need to be

implemented at district levels

The training module on awareness programs to WUA group members and PGM group

members for the year 2019-20 has been planned and 76 trainings were conducted by Dept

70

Groundwater & Water Audit Department and Water Resource officers and APDs in all

project district levels so far. Till the end of Dec 2019, 316 PGM groups are formed at the

state level. Now, the members are supposed to have basic awareness and understanding on

the importance of PGM. However, the project has planned to develop their capacity further in

terms of water management, crop water budgeting and water sharing. In Kadapa district these

trainings are not yet started due to no SO in the district.

4.4 Project Tanks visited:

As per the Monitoring and Evaluation framework of the project, CTRAN experts’ team

carried out field visit from 19th

to 28th

December 2019 in the districts of Srikakulam,

Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, West Godavari, Krishna, Kurnool, Prakasam,

and Anantapur for September to December 2019. Quarterly monitoring report purpose, line

department staff and WUA formers have visited tank villages for both independent and

cascade tank villages in project districts on implementing the project activities.

In the field trip, the CTRAN team members interacted with WUA group members and

departmental staff farmers etc. The daily newspaper cuttings and brochure are presented:

4.5 Findings of Willing/ Non-Willing Water Sharing’s Between Adjacent Farmers:

The concept of conjunctive use and water sharing supports in achieving greater productivity

and in minimizing gap ayacut. The water shortage led to tension between bore well and non-

bore well owning farmers, even cultivation of water to intensive crops continued.

It is observed in each district that groundwater buying’s / selling’s occurred between adjacent

farmers for their crop water needs (those who share their bore well excess water) during that

cropping season for last crop year 2019-20.

As per the data from the farmers through field visits, 96.9% farmers are not willing to share

their bore well water, only 3.1% farmers are willing to sell their excess water for others for a

last crop year. This situation observed is that, the bore well pumping reaches its peak levels

due to little or no rainfall. The farmers need motivation and awareness from the project staff.

The groundwater selling / buying price in general per hour / per acre is approximately

between Rs 500 to 600/. This situation depends on Kharif /Rabi/ seasons for different crops.

4.6 Suggestions

Promotion of the Community Bore wells. Farmers are keen to have it

Modules need to be developed at the state level for trainings and circulated

A workshop need to be organized for all APDPGMs to share experience and cross

learnings.

73

The Sub-component B1

Chapter–5

Climate Smart Crop Production and Diversification

5.0 Introduction

The Sub-component B1 aims at increasing farm productivity by reducing ‘input’ costs and

enhancing ‘output’ from farming systems on a sustainable basis in irrigated command areas

of the project as well as the rain-fed areas in the project villages and cascades. The focused

objectives under the sub-component are;

(i) Enhance resilience of agriculture production system through technological options;

(ii) Improve productivity;

(iii) Reduce the cost of production by bringing input efficiency;

(iv) Develop capacity of farmers in production technologies; and

(v) Improve farmers’ income.

Sampling details of household survey

In the year 2019, though there were low rainfall events in the beginning up to the third week

of July, however, the rainfall situation improved from the last week of July and continued till

October month that boosted agriculture production.

Seed production by farmers in the project areas is given prime importance under APIIATP

inorder to encourage crop and varietal diversification and thereby increase crop production.

The SOs have already initiated the process of identification of seed villages and seed farmers

in selected project districts. The work is in progress as expected. Seed production activity is

expected to initiate once project budget is released to districts. Further, the project area

farmers are also aware of many improved crop production practices such as chemical seed

treatment, green manuring, soil application of Nutrient Solubilizing Bacteria/biofertilizers,

participating in the technology demonstration, Pulses intercropping in crops such as

groundnut, cotton, maize, foxtail millet (korra), pearl millet (bajra) etc., Redgram planting on

field bunds, various water conservation techniques(deep ploughing by sub-

soilers/conservation furrows/micro irrigation/etc.) etc. However, the house-hold survey data

also states that, in spite of good awareness about the improved crop production techniques,

the adoption levels of the same is relatively very poor, especially in Srikakulam,

Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts. Non availability of some of the crop production

inputs, timely unavailability of inputs, lack of money, lack of technical know-how for

practicing the improved crop management practices etc could be few reasons for low

adoption of the improved crop management techniques.

74

As there is no field level implementation of agriculture and horticulture activities under

APIIATP in the current assessment period (July to December 2019), monitoring team has

interacted with the farmers and department officials to understand the reasons for low

progress in the implementation of proposed project activities. While interacting with farmers,

team has noticed that the farmers are aware of the benefits of the proposed interventions and

are looking forward for the project implementation in their villages. Monitoring team has also

noticed that the orientation programs conducted at Mandallevel and village level have created

good awareness to farmers on the project interventions and implementation modalities.

Implementation Status of Agriculture Interventions

Implementation of Agriculture interventions at ground level is progressing very slowly. In

Nellore district, the team had been told that not a single project intervention, including

training and capacity building programs were taken up by Agriculture or Horticulture

department in the present monitoring period due to lack of funds and staff crunch.Many other

districts also so far have not received the reimbursement against the committed expenditure,

hence, are not showing interest to take up activities under APIIATP. Committed expenditure

towards training and capacity building programs is also not yet released in majority of the

districts. Department officials have expressed that the meager amount of budget releases is

the issue in implementation of the agriculture interventions. Further, lack of dedicated staff at

district level (District Agriculture Coordinator), transfers of district/mandal level department

staff, no orientation to newly transferred staff are some of the reasons for the slow

implementation of activities under APIIATP. Some district nodal officers have also expressed

that poor or no follow up from the Commissionerate of Agriculture office, absence of

dedicated team/staff for the project at Commissionerate level are also the reasons for slow

progress under the project. The team has observed that department staff is busy handling their

own regular department programs, especially the flagship program of the government like,

“RhytuBharosa’ program. Officials have expressed their inability to spare time for APIIATP

due to the tight schedule.

CTRAN team, while discussing with the concerned officer in-charge of APIIATP in

Vizianagaram district came to know that, few project interventions proposed in the action

plan are not relevant to this district. The farmers’ actual requirements are not listed in the

Action Plan. For example, Seed production activity is not in the demand in West Godavari

district as the new and improved varieties are already saturated in their district. Farmers in the

West Godavari district are demanding oil mills. The officers have suggested to have

provisions to choose the interventions as per the local requirements.

Monitoring team interacting with the farmers during the field visit in Vadisaleru village and

Polavaram village in East Godavari district is depicted below as photo 1 and photo 2

75

Photo 1:Monitoring Team interacting with farmers of WUA and department officials in Vadisaleru

village in East Godavari district.

Photo 2: Monitoring Team in a stake holder meeting in Polavaram village in East Godavari

district.

As very few activities were taken up in one or two districts, it is not appropriate to analyze

the household data to assess the project benefits over the baseline data, across 12 districts.

5.1. Preparation of Annual Action Plan for the Agriculture/Horticulture Components

for FY 2019-20

State Level Action Plan for 2019-20 is already in place. The plan has district wise and

intervention wise targets. All the districts have also prepared district level Action Plan 2019-

20 based on the targets proposed at the state level. Each district has planned Mandal wise and

tank wise targets.

76

The Tank Development Plans (TDP)/Cascade Development Plans (CDP) preparation is in

progress, planning process is facilitated by CADA. AOs/HOs of respective areas are also

participating in the planning process. During the field visit, CTRAN team was present while

the TDP preparation in Chinnadoddigallu village in Visakhapatnam district. PRA techniques

were followed in the planning process. It is observed that 30-40% WUA farmers have

attended the TDP planning event. Further, it is noticed that, the TDP/CDP is focusing more

on tank rehabilitation works and less weightage has been given to Agriculture/Horticulture

requirements at tank level.

Interventions are implemented as per the budget releases. Department officers have

complained shortfall of budget releases and delay in money transfer to beneficiary accounts

under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Department officers are finding it inconvenient to face

the beneficiaries, hence, are not keen to take up the activities under APIIATP.

Further, Action Plan 2019-20 kept on changing to match with the budget releases every time.

Monitoring team is finding difficulty in assessing the progress of the project against the

planned targets. It is also observed that the implementation is lagging behind against the

targets.

5.2.Trainings(Orientation Programs/Workshops)

Activities under Training & Capacity Building are completed by Agriculture&Horticulture

Departments. Approx. 80% - 90% orientation training program on APIIATP at State level,

District level and Mandal level to the respective field functionaries are completed by both

Agriculture and Horticulture departments. Tank level orientation programs to WUA/ farmers

is completed in few tanks only. Tank level orientation programs are still under progress in

some of the tanks in the districts.

Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Chittoor, Kadapa, Kurnool, Nellore and

Prakasam districts have reported receipt of training expenditure. Other districts have

submitted the expenditure bills, and amount is yet to be credited to their district account.

Atthestate level, convergence workshop was organized in the very beginning of the project,

involving all the line department staff. Orientation on APIIATPintervention wise guidelines

to be followed for implementation of the proposed interventions were also communicated to

district level officials of Dept. of Agriculture and Dept. of Horticulture Apart from fewer

budget releases & delay in budget releases, transfers of district/ Mandal level officers who

were earlier, oriented on APIIATP is also causing delay in project implementation, as the

newly transferred officers are unaware of the APIIATP modalities. In Ananthapuramu and

Visakhapatnam districts, the impact of transferring the officials is quite apparent.

Recently, Govt. of AP has recruited Village Agri. Assistants (VAAs) and Village

Horticulture Assistants (VHAs) for over 1000Ha/ cluster of villages, these staff members

come under Dept. of Agriculture. The services of VAA/VHA are of great help for the smooth

77

implementation of the project at ground level. There is a need to orient VAAs/VHAs on

APIIATP. They are the functionaries working at tank level.

5.3. Exposure visits (within the state)

Exposure visits were organized for a few districts and farmers were taken to exposure visits.

Four groups in East Godavari and two groups in Chittoor districts were taken to exposure

visits in 2019-20. Four exposure events (within the state) and 16 training programs in East

Godavari district were reported with a budget of Rs. 8.651 lakhs. The bills for the same were

submitted to the treasury, however, the amount is not yet credited to the district account. Two

exposure visits were organized by Agriculture Department for farmers in Chittoor district.

One group of farmers was taken to Almatti Dam Back Waters (Out-side the state) to show

‘Efficient Water Management Practices’ and the other group was taken to Rayachoti (within

the state) to show ‘Natural Farming Practices’. Farmers expressed that the visits were very

useful to them and that they learnt many new natural farming practices and water

management practices. Three to four farmers have also started adopting the natural farming

practices they learnt there.

Commodity Interest Groups (CIG) formation has not yet taken place in any of the districts the

team had visited. Agri. Officers are planning for the CIG formation in the village. Monitoring

team has been told thatonce the farmer groups (CIGs) are formed, they will be taken to

exposure visits as per the need & requirement.

5.4. Implementation Status of Agriculture Production Interventions

5.4.1 Certified Seed Production

Certified seed production under APIIATP was taken-up only in Vizianagaram district in2019.

Certified seeds of paddy crop (variety - MTU1121) was supplied to farmers in 19 tank

villages in Vizianagaram district at a cost of Rs. 8.24 lakhs. CTRAN team visited one of the

seed produced villages viz., KG Pudi village and interacted with the farmers. At the time of

the visit, the crop was already harvested. Farmers expressed satisfaction over the 5-6 more

bags of yield they obtained with MTU 1121, compare to the earlier grown samba masuri

(1001). The only drawback with the new variety (MTU 1121) is quick germination even with

a single rainfall at the time of harvest as this variety has no seed dormancy.Monitoring team

interacting with the farmer seed producing farmers in KG Pudi village in Vizianagaram is

shown in photo 3.

78

5.4.2 Block Demonstration

Block demonstrations were taken up in Vizianagaram, Kadapa and Chittoor districts in2019.

Under demonstration on crop diversification & Intensification, green manure seed was

supplied at 100% subsidy for demonstration purpose in 21 tank villages in Vizianagaram

district. Total green manure seed supplied was 84.70q Diancha (20 villages) and 36.70 q of

Sunhemp (18 villages) for demonstration purpose, with a cost of 7.03 Lakhs. In Chittoor

district, 108 block demos with 3.55Lakhs and in Kadapa district with1.60 Lakhs were

reportedly spent. CTRAN team has visited one of the villages in Vizianagaram district and

interacted with the beneficiary farmers. By the time of the visit, crop was already harvested.

While interacting with the farmers in the village, it is perceived that green manure seeds were

distributed at free of cost. Due to lack of budget, other inputs of paddy cultivation for

demonstration purpose were not given to the demonstrating farmers, hence, field visit/crop

cutting experiment was not organized. However, farmers practiced green manuring and got

benefited saving on urea.

5.4.3. Distribution of Green Manure Seeds

Green manure seeds were distributed only in Vizianagaram and Kurnool districts among all

the districts. Seeds of Diancha and Sunhemp were distributed @ 75% subsidy to the farmers.

In Vizianagaram district alone, a total of 68q of Diancha (in 13 tank villages) and 7q

Sunhemp (in 4 villages) were distributed with an expenditure of Rs. 3.06Lakhs. In Kurnool,

the expenditure incurred was Rs. 11.30 laks. CTRAN team has visited one of the villages in

Vizianagaram district and interacted with beneficiary farmers. By the time of the visit, the

crop was already harvested. Beneficiary farmers in the KG Pudi village have expressed that

there is a clear cut down in ½ to 1 bag urea/acre. No basal dose of Urea was applied in fields

where green manuring is done, in these fields only ½ bag urea was applied at 30-35 days after

transplanting. Earlier they used to apply 2bags of Urea, one as basal dose at 10-15 DAT and

top dressing at 30-45 days after transplanting. Photo 4 is showing the monitoring team

interacting with the beneficiary farmers of green manuring intervention under APIIATP

promoted in KG Pudi village in Vizianagaram district.

79

5.5. Implementation Status of Horticulture Interventions

Dept. of Horticulture has implemented project interventions in the year 2018-19. Some of the

grounded interventions under Horticulture werevisited during the current reporting period.

Observations of the field visit are presented below. After the interventions taken up in 2018-

19, no further progress was reported in 2019-20 due to non-release of earlier spent amount in

2018-19. Department of Horticulture is also facing severe shortage of Horticulture Officers,

more so in Nellore district where only 50% HO posts are filled against the actuals. Moreover,

the newly recruited VHAs/VAAs are also reporting to Agriculture department, hence, their

services for Horticulture activities are difficult to explore. Unlike present VHA/VAA system,

earlier there used to be MPEOs, exclusively working under Horticulture department as

expressed by the ADH, Atmakur in Nellore district.

Barring Srikakulam, Krishna and Kurnool districts, in rest of the districts, good progress was

observed under the Horticulture sector in 2018-19. Interventions that were grounded include:

area expansion of horticulture crops (AEP), canopy management, rejuvenation of old

orchards, Integrated Nutrient Management, distribution of water-soluble nutrients, training &

demos related to interventions, exposure visits etc. As suggested in the PIP, MIDH guidelines

were followed in implementation of horticulture interventions, including beneficiary

selection. Horticulture area being small compare to agriculture and mostly located away from

the tanks, all the horticulture interventions were open to all the farmers considering village as

a unit for implementation unlike agriculture interventions considering only ayacut farmers for

input delivery.

5.5.1. Vegetable Cultivation on Permanent Pandals

In Polavaram village in East Godavari district, permanent pandals for vegetable production

were promoted under APIIATP. Monitoring team along with the concerned Horticulture

Officer visited the beneficiary farmer’s field and interacted with the farmer (photo

5).Traditional vegetable growing farmers, irrespective of social status, those having assured

irrigation facility and those who are able to bear 25% cost for erecting permanent pedals were

selected as beneficiaries. Beneficiaries were selected in WUA meeting. Selected farmers

were taken to exposure visit to Koyyalagudem village where vegetable cultivation with the

support of permanent pandals is already in practice. As suggested by Horticulture Officer,

improved varieties of ridge guard, bottle guard, bitter guards were grown with the support of

concrete pandals, while, tomatoes, brinjal, okra (bhendi) etc. were grown as intercrops.

Farmers who have adopted this practice are quite happy with the benefits they realized in

terms of increased production and income. Further, farmers have observed other benefits such

as vegetables in good shape, less diseases, ease of weeding operations, more number of

pickings etc. Farmers have reported approx. Rs.12,000 – Rs.15000 more income per acre

with vegetable cultivation with the support of permanent pandals when compare to traditional

practice. However, beneficiary farmers were disappointed for non-reimbursement of subsidy

amount even after 1 year after submission of bills. Farmers in anticipation of project subsidy

80

have spent between 1lakh to 4 lakhs for erecting permanent pandals. Under such delayed

budget release situations, Horticulture Officers are finding difficulty in meeting the project

targets.

Horticultural interventions – Permanent pandalsinPolavaram -West Godavari district

5.5.2. Integrated Nutrient Management in Horticulture Crops

Horticulture Officers are also conducting sensitization programs and demos about the inputs

they are distributing under the project. Monitoring Team was present inSarabhavaram village

in Pattipadu mandal in East Godavari district during the input distribution under INM in

horticulture crops(Photo 6). Each INM package given to farmers has 6 different types of

biofertilizers/ soil fertility enhancers worth of Rs. 12,000 per farmer, up to a maximum of 1

81

Ha plantation (Mango/ Cashew). Total 105 farmers were covered in 53 Ha land, irrespective

of social category. Procurement of the products is at district level against the indent submitted

by Asst. Director of Horticulture (ADH). Before distributing the INM inputs, Horticulture

Officer has delivered the importance and usage of these products in fruit crops and

vegetables. Canopy management is also promoted in the same village, benefiting 39 farmers

in total 22 Ha. Farmers have practiced canopy management in their plantations after attending

the demo conducted by Horticulture Officer. Farmers have expressed satisfaction over the

project inputs.

5.5.3. Orientation on Horticulture Interventions under APIIATP and Training &

Demonstration on Canopy Management

Monitoring team was also present in the APIIATP orientation program in the

Veerabhadrapuram village in Vizianagaram district, organized by Assist. Director,

Horticulture (ADH) (Photo 7& 8). Dr. Madhavilatha, Scientists from Research Station at

Anakapalli in Visakhapatnam district were the resource persons for the session on improving

crop management practices in fruit crops, followed by a field demo on canopy management.

Implements for canopy management were also distributed after the field demo. Training cum

demo program was highly interactive. Farmers’ interaction with scientists is well and

thoroughly understood the practice of canopy management with effective live field demo.

82

5.5.4. Distribution of Water-Soluble Fertilizers

During the field visit, Monitoring Team also visited KG Pudi village in Vizianagaram district

and interacted with a farmer beneficiary of water-soluble fertilizers (Photo 9). The Farmer

has received 11 different types of water-soluble fertilizer mixture packets, which also include

micro nutrients. He received Rs.5000 worth water-soluble fertilizers for his papaya

plantation. He has applied the water-soluble fertilizers through fertigation technique.

Unfortunately, he lost the entire plantation due to the recent heavy wind storms. In the same

village,the team has also met a tomato farmer, who is a beneficiary of project intervention -

Area Expansion of Horticulture crops. He has grown tomato in rice fallows with the inputs

supported by the project. He complained that the amount Rs, 22,500 towards input subsidy is

not being transferred to his account till date.

5.5.5. Area Expansion under Horticulture Crops

On visiting a beneficiary field, under area expansion under horticulture in Kothali village in

Visakhapatnam district (Photo 10). Tomato crop was promoted by 18 farmers in 3 adjacent

villages. Subsidy through the project was provided for hybrid seeds, sprayer, other inputs

(against self-declaration by the farmers), all together accounting to Rs.15,000/acre.

Beneficiary selection is apt, the soils are red soils suitable for vegetable crops supported with

irrigation.

6.2 Activity- wise progress achieved- Observations.

Out of 364 project tanks, 112 minor irrigation tanks were identified as suitable to

take up fish culture during 2019-20. The details of retention period of

water,i.e.,whether they are perennial/ long seasonal or short seasonal, the

sourceofwater supply to the tanks, details of fishermen cooperative societies

existing having the tank under it’s area of operation, members in the society etc.,

was collected. The collection of information on water retention period was

mentioned in the Aide Memoire of the World Bank task team June, 2019. During

this year, one more fishermen cooperative society was organized for

Venkatapuramtank in Chittoor district which is a selected project tank.

A. Civil works: The execution of four types of civil works with an outlay of

Rs.750.00 lakhs has been taken up by Water Resource Department, under the

technical supervision of the Dept.of Fisheries.

1. Establishment of Fresh water fish Brood bank at B.Matham, YSR

Kadapa: The Dept.of Fisheries has identified the existing department fish

seed farm site at B.Matham reservoir. The farm has assured water supply.

Based on the ongoing brood bank taken up by the Department at Badampudi,

West Godavari district and basing on local requirements,thedistrict authorities

have furnished estimates, then further revised the estimates and furnished

drawings for Rs.250 lakhs.

2. Upgrading and modernisation of fish seed farms: The Estimates for five

fish seed farms at a cost of Rs.124 lakhs were received. The Department has

changed 2 farms from Somasila to Kavali in PSRNeloore district; Rajampeta

to Mylavaram in YSR Kadapa district and estimates were revised and

furnished. PMU has called for certain engineering details for Kavali and

Vetlapalem farms. The details of fish seed production for justification of the

investments are called for.

3. Establishment of Captive seed nurseries: The Annual action plan is to

establish 55 captive fish seed nurseries and Rs.325 lakhwasallocated this year.

The unit cost is Rs.6 lakhs and this includes the provision for fish seed

procured for rearing and cost of feed during the rearing period.They will be

managed by the Fishermen Cooperative Society, after completion. After

scrutiny of the estimates received, 25 Administrative approvals were accorded

up to December, 2019. The estimates prepared for 4 units in Srikakulam

district are being revised to be located at the project tanks identified by the

Dept. of Fisheries, The preparation of estimates for remaining units is under

progress in Vizianagaram and Krishna districts. The details are given in table

No6. 2

85

Table No.6.2 District wise status on Captive seed nurseries

No targets are given to West Godvari and Prakasham districts.

4. Construction of Fish landing centres: The fish landing centre is for hygienic

handling of fish harvested at the tank site.The unit cost is Rs.10 lakhs to be

provided as 100% assistance.Similar component was implemented earlier

under CBTM Project. The DD Fisheries,Anantapur has informed that estimate

prepared earlier is being revised as per latest SSR. Others are under

preparation.

5. Providing equipment for aqua lab: The unit cost is Rs.20 lakhs and the

assistance proposed this year is Rs.15 lakhs as 100% assistance. The Dept.of

Fisheries has constructed the required building at govt. fish seed farm in

Vizianagaram town. The detailed proposals with specification of equipment

are to be furnished.

6. Post-harvest fishing inputs- Establishment of Fish vending kiosks (Fish

Retail Outlets): 90% assistance is being provided for the supply of fishery

inputs. Rs. 54.69 lakh is provided this year to take up fish vending kiosks

(fish retail outlets) by providing an assistance of Rs.9 lakhs each. The units

are allocated district-wise. The identification of the society and suitable site is

under process.

7. Capacity Building- 100% assistance is being provided for training and

exposure visits to staff of Fisheries department and fishermen at a total cost of

Rs.32.75 lakhs. The orientation trainings were organized by the Department

86

of Fisheries in 3 districts covering 7 districts, duly organizing the sessions as

planned and taking assistance of the Support Organisations. The participants

include two to four members from each fisherman cooperative society. The

fishermen orientation training was conducted at Vizianagaram on 23.7.2019

for fishermen of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, at Kurnool

on 26.7.2019 for fishermen of Kurnool district and at Anantapuram on

16.8.2019 for fishermen from three districts of Ananatapuram, YSRKadapa

and Chittoor, The trainings were conducted with participation of District

project Director concerned , Department of Fisheries officers and line

departments.

8. Production of short film: The fisheries activities were taken shot at the tank

and farm-sites in Visakhapatnam and Vizianagaram districts to produce the

short film.It will be used to impart training to stakeholders of APIIATP.Infact,

the Department of Fisheries has initiated an overseas exposure visit to

fishermen and staff to visit eminent freshwater fisheries institute in Vietnam

but was postponed due to administrative reasons.

Orientation Training held at Anantapuram on 16.8.2019

for fishermen of 3 districts

6.3 Study on assessing the potential of fisheries in different types of tanks:

Rs.7.50 lakhs is provided to take up a study to find out the potential of different types of

irrigation tanks (Perennial, long seasonal and short seasonal) and suggest suitable fish

culture strategies. The College of Fisheries, Muthukuru, Andhra Pradesh was requested

on their willingness. The study is expected to be taken up recently.

6.4 Suggestions for expediting the implementation of the project.

Civil works –Establishment of Freshwater fish Brood Bank: As estimates

are already prepared and further revised by the district authorities, a team with

87

officers from PMU, Dept.of Fisheries and Central Institute of Freshwater

Aquaculture may visit the site and approval may be accorded based on their

recommendations.

Civil works-Modernisation/ upgrading of Fish seed farms: As estimates

are already prepared for all 5 farms and also revised for Mylavaram, Nandyal

and Vetlapalem, further corrections / changes may be discussed and approvals

accorded.

Civil works- Establishment of Captive fish seed Nurseries:

(a) Calling tenders:Out of 55, nearly 50% of the units i.e., 25 were accorded

Administrative approvals. Action may be taken by the District Project

Directors to club more than one work, finalise the tender format and call

for the tenders. Calling of tenders has to be expedited for completion of

the works before the fish seed production season in June.

(b) Expediting Approvals:As estimates are already prepared and resolutions

of Fishermen Cooperative Societies are received for 17 more units in four

districts of Visakhapatnam, Kurnool, YSR Kadapa and Chittoor, further

corrections / changes may be discussed and approvals accorded.

(c) Revision of unit cost: The dimensions of captive fish seed nursery,

borewell for water supply and cost of seed & feed are included in the

model design prepared in consultation with a field officer in

October,2018. The Fishermen Cooperative societies are requesting for

upside revision of the unit cost, mainly due to the provision of Rs.0.50

lakhs for bore well which seems to be not adequate. This may have to be

examined in consultation with the Department of Fisheries, Ground water

department and the World Bank.

(d) Coordination in preparation of estimates: As estimates are under

preparation in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Krishna districts, the

concerned district authorities may be requested to expedite the preparation

of estimates and also furnish resolutions of fishermen cooperative

societies to expedite the administrative approvals.

(e) Civil works- Establishment of Fish Landing Centres: The District

authorities in Ananatapuram have to revise the estimate furnished earlier,

based on latest SSR. The concerned district authorities in all these five

districts may be requested to expedite the preparation of estimates and

also furnish resolutions of fishermen cooperative societies to expedite the

administrative approvals.

Providing equipment to Aqua lab: The RCC building constructed by the

Department of Fisheries is quite spacious and centrally located in the fish seed

farm premises in Vizianagaram town. The equipment and its specifications

were finalised. The building was visited by the World Bank Task Team in

June,2019 and gave specific suggestions to maintain quality of testing fish

seed and fish for consumption. This can also be utilized for imparting training

88

to the fishermen.The equipment required is for Rs.15 lakhs . This process may

be expedited.

Establishment of Fish vending kiosks (Fish Retail Outlets): The

establishment of 7 fish vending kiosks in urban areas is taken up at a cost of

Rs.54.69 lakhs for hygienic handling of fish and to increase the consumption

of fish. The detailed proposal along with the resolution of the Fishermen

Cooperative Society have to be furnished to the APIIATP. The concerned

district authorities in all these seven districts may be requested to expedite the

proposals and also furnish resolutions of fishermen cooperative societies.

Capacity Building: The trainings have commenced in 7 districts, but need to

be expedited covering all districts and societies along with organizing the study

tours.

Study to assess the potential of different types of tanks for fish culture

practices: For taking up the study on fisheries potential in different types of MI

tanks i.e., Perennial, Long seasonal and Short seasonal and the type of fish

culture methods to be adopted etc., the institution, the terms and conditions of

the study are to be finalized.

Filling up of the posts sanctioned: One post of Senior Fisheries Expert was

sanctioned in the office of the Commissioner of Fisheries and one post of senior

fisheries expert in PMU have to be filled urgently to have regular monitoring of the

activities in the district. The Department of Fisheries may be requested to depute

the Deputy Director of Fisheries.The Department of Fisheries has to utilize the

provision given for computers, etc.,

Pursue sanction of additional funds requested: The Department of Fisheries

has sought an additional amount of Rs.520.70 lakhs for implementation of the

project activities taking in to consideration the seasonality of the activities

and time left out etc.The APIIATP have submitted proposals seeking additional

funds to the Government of Andhra Pradesh and sanction is anticipated shortly.

Preparing Fisheries profile of the tanks: The data on the fisheries profile of

the tank has to be collected for all tanks identified for taking up fisheries. The

project activities have to be extended to cover all 650 tanks (for which

administrative approval was given so far) for taking up fisheries activities in

2020-21.

Key Outcomes: The Key outcomes expected are 47% increase in fish productivity in

tanks. The important input is stocking of quality fish seed. The project envisaged that

captive fish seed nurseries and improvements to fish seed farms will be in place for

stocking fish seed in the season commencing in June month. The Department of

Fisheries has proposed in 2019-20 to take up stocking of quality fish seed in

fingerlings stage in all minor irrigation tanks including the tanks selected under the

project.

89

The Govt. of Andhra Pradesh has issued orders fixing the rules for lease of fishing

rights in the minor irrigation tanks and the fixation of the lease amount. One of the

conditions of the lease of the MI tank is the concerned fishermen cooperative society

has to stock the required fish seed in adequate numbers. Enquiry during the field visits

revealed that some of the fishermen cooperative societies have stocked fish seed in

the tanks leased to them. The details of fish seed stocked, lease amount collected,

50% share of lease amount to be given to the Concerned WUA, fish production etc.,

effective water spread area of the tank during the year have to be collected.

Component C

Chapter 7

Post-Harvest Management, Market and Agri-Business Promotion

7.1 Introduction.

This component aims to enhance the profitability for the farmers by improving their access to

markets through bringing-in producers and consumers closer for locally produced goods by

enhancing market penetration and developing alternate marketing channels which improve

farm level post-harvest management and value addition. The project will utilize the FPOs,

wherever feasible, at the village and/or cluster of villages and/or at a super-cluster at cascade

level. This component will help the farmers to realize a greater return to their products

through value chain improvement and supply chain management.

The specific objectives of promoting agribusiness are;

Improve market linkage through collectivization and product aggregation;

To improve the return to farmers and its organisation (FPO) through value addition;

Improve accessibility of farmer’s collectives to agribusiness services;

Strengthen post-harvest management and supply chain through infrastructures, facility

and services

At district level, the M&Eteam interacted with district level officers of Dept. of Agri. and

Dept. of Horti. to discuss the project implementation status under the component C and to

understand the underlying issues with respect tothe project implementation if any. During the

field visit to the tank villages, interaction was held with the concerned Horticulture Officers

(HOs), Agriculture Officers (AOs) and APDs. At village level, meetings were organised to

assess the project benefits at the farmers level as well as to understand the process and the

underlying issues if any at their end.

Sampling details of house-hold survey

The CTRAN team has also carried out household survey in both APIIATP tank villages and

control tank villages (non-project villages). Within the project villages, household survey was

carried out with LBT (Longitudinal Benefit Tracking) households and Sample Tank

households.

As there is not much field level implementation of project interventions/infrastructure other

than orientation programs, capacity building programs and Tank Development Planning

under component C of APIIATin the current assessment period (July to December 2019),

monitoring team has interacted with the FPO members, other farmers and department

officials to understand the reasons for slow progress in the implementation of project

activities. While interacting with FPO members and other farmers, team has noticed that the

91

farmers are aware of the benefits of the proposed interventions and are looking forward for

the project implementation in their villages. Monitoring team has also noticed that the

orientation programs conducted at mandal level and village level have created good

awareness at FPO members level and also amongotherfarmers on the project interventions

and implementation modalities.

7.2 Implementation Status of Agribusiness Activities

The progress of project implementation under this component is progressing at a slow pace.

Only preliminary works related to proposed interventions have been taken up in a few

districts. As very few activities were taken up in one or two districts, it is not appropriate to

analyze the household data to assess the project benefits over the baseline data across the 12

districts.

Apart from less budget releases & delay in budget releases, transfers of district/ mandal level

officers who were earlier oriented on APIIATP is also causing delay in project

implementation, as the newly transferred officers are less aware of the APIIATP modalities.

Absence of exclusive staff for project execution is also a reason for slow progress. Recently

appointed Village Agri. Assistants (VAAs) and Village Horticulture Assistants (VHAs) are of

great help for the smooth implementation of the project at ground level. They are the

functionaries working at tank level. However, there is a need to orient VAAs/VHAs on

APIIATP.

The progresss of Component C as observed during the field visits of project tank villages

between July to December 2019 are discussed here under;

7.2.1. Preparation of Annual Action Plan for Agribusiness Components for FY 2019-20

The Tank Development Plans (TDP)/Cascade Development Plans (CDP) preparation is in

progress and planning process is facilitated by CADA. AOs/HOs of respective areas are also

participating in the planning process. During the field visit, CTRAN team was present in the

TDP preparation in Chinnadoddigallu village in Visakhapatnam district. PRA techniques

were followed in the planning process. It is observed that 30-40% WUA farmers and FPO

members (at present the FPO is not active) have attended the TDP planning event. Further, it

is noticed that, the TDP/CDP is focusing more on tank rehabilitation works and less

weightage has been given to planning for Agribusiness requirements at tank level. As far as

Agribusiness activities are concerned, identification of FPOs in the districts is in progress.

Implementation team is now focusing on identifying the Infrastructure requirements at FPO

level. Types of interventions to be implemented at field level under this component and the

intervention wise targets are fixed at the state level and were percolated down to the field

level.

92

7.2.2Trainings & Capacity Building & Workshops

For the financial year 2019-20, target was fixed to impart training to 18 FPOs, covering 905

FPO farmers in post-harvest management, market and agribusiness promotion. Against the

target, sofar, 415 farmers in 10FPOs have been imparted training on produce marketing.

District level workshop on modernization of existing markets in to e-markets involving

buyers & sellers is completed in 12 districts. Agri. Marketing department is coordinating in

mapping the existing marketing infrastructure like gowdowns, cold storage warehouse etc.

7.2.3 Exposure visits (within the state)

Exposure visits to 180 progressive farmers to model FPOs within the state are completed in

10 districts. These exposure visits were completed by Dept. of Agriculture with the support

of respective district level Support Organizations (SOs). However, the monitoring team has

not come across any of such benefited FPOs in the tank villages between July to December

2019. Monitoring team has been told that the farmer groups (CIGs) once formed will be

taken to exposure visits as per the need & requirement.

7.2.4 Appointment of ABSO (Agribusiness Support Organization)

MANAGE, GoIhas been identified as ABSO for providing consultancy services for supply

and value chain analysis, direct linkages with FPOs and providing market linkages. Also

obtained approval from the World bank, whereas, clearance from Govt. of Andhra Pradesh is

pending. It is expected that state government clearance will be available in a month. During

this period, till the ABSOis entrusted with the work, the project may prepare the ground and

complete certain activities like (a) production mapping by project specific commodities, (b)

cluster identification, (c) value chain and supply chain assessment (project supported

commodities), (d) assessment of current market mechanisms, (e) assessment of marketable

surplus etc.

7.2.5 Supply of secondary processing units to CIG farmers

It is proposed to supply 32 secondary processing units to CIG farmers, at the total cost of

320Lakhs. CIG formation has not yet taken place in any of the districts the team has visited.

Agri. Officers are planning for the CIG formation in the villages and the process is expected

to be completed by March 2020. Monitoring team has been told that, the farmer groups

(CIGs) once formed will be provided with secondary processing units. Empanelment of

suppliers of secondary processing units is in progress by Dept. of Agriculture. It is worth to

note that after the formation of CIG, they cannot take up post-harvest activities like

secondary processing collectively on immediate basis. Capacity building, business

orientation, product aggregation mechanism, business planning for secondary processing unit

etc. need to be done before hand. So, it is expected that a minimum of 6 month is required to

prepare the ground and strengthen the CIGs to take up this activity. Each such unit should

93

have a business plan, standard operating procedures and management plan before its

installation.

7.2.6 Construction of Rural Godowns

It is proposed to take up 21 nos of rural godowns with an expenditure of 630 lakhs in the

state. Site for rural godowns is identified, design finalized and estimations are drawn and

submitted for administrative sanctions in Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, East Godavari and West

Godavari, Krishna, Srikakulam, Anantapuramu and Kurnool. Administrative approvals for

the same is accorded and technical sanction is under process and estimates are under scrutiny.

The entire activity is taken care of by the Dept. of Agriculture. Members of WUA, where the

rural godowns are planned, are eagerly waiting for the same for reaping the benefit. Due to

the budget constraints, WUAs in all the districts have been informed to take up either rural

godown or WUA office building or threshing floor in a tank village. Looking objectively,

rural storage structures were planned to help farmers to manage the supply chain, improve the

shelf life of the produces and minimize distress sale of commodities. Secondly, these storage

structures could have been taken up as a business model where WUA / FPO can earn an

income by lending storage space and sustain the management of the structure. Making it an

optional activity may not serve these purposes, unless additional resources are mobilized

from existing other schemes / programs and such structures are constructed in a convergence

mode.

7.2.7 Formation & Strengthening of FPOs

This activity is looked upon by Dept. of Horticulture. There are 177 FPOs existing in the area

of 228 tanks out of 651 project tanks. The FPOs are formed by different agencies such as

NABARD (21 nos), SERP (93 nos), ICRISAT (1 no), Dept. of Agri. (9 nos) and Dept. of

Horti. (53 nos). Line departments are requested to verify the status of FPOs and categorize

them as active/normal/dormant etc., based on certain parameters and also the infrastructure

created with the FPOs. In the year 2019-20, it is proposed to further strengthen 18 FPOs in 7

districts at a cost of 42 Lakhs. As of now, 18 FPOs have been identified and planning for

training and exposure visits is in progress. Due to the budget constraint the progress is at a

slow pace. Monitoring Team has been told that the training and capacity building program for

the FPOs is expected to be complete by March 2020.

7.3 Suggestions & Recommendations

Based on the observations during the field visit and looking at the progress of the APIIATP,

as assessed up to the fourth quarter, Monitoring Team would like to place key issues and

recommendations for smooth implementation of the project.

Recently, Govt. of AP has recruited Village Agri. Assistants (VAS) and Village

Horticulture Assistants (VHA) for every 1000Ha/ cluster of villages, reporting to

Panchayats. The services of VAA/VHA are of great help in smooth implementation of

94

the project at ground level. There is a need to orient VASs/VHAs on APIIATP and

involve them to the possible extent. As they are the ground force working at tank

level, project can utilize their services to cater to the need of the target mass.

One of the major reasons noticed for the slow progress in project implementation is

delayed in budget release and releasing of lesser amounts against the actual proposal.

Implementing agencies are requested to consider this aspect of the project with utmost

seriousness and address the same on priority basis.

Delay in transferring of input subsidy to a beneficiary through DBT has been a

concern. Farmers are losing confidence on the project and are hesitating to participate

in project activities. Department staff is also finding difficulty in mobilizing the

beneficiaries as the project share will be transferred to beneficiary account only on a

reimbursement basis. The Farmers as reported, are borrowing money from private

lenders and investing in activities in anticipation of an immediate reimbursement from

the project. To address the issue, it is suggested to have some budgetary provision at

the disposal of district level implementing agency, for the reimbursement of bills on

immediate basis. Expediting the DBT process would also be helpful to ensure that

farmers get their dues on time.

As per the current practice, support organizations receive fund on reimbursement

basis. As observed, Support Organizations are usually having low financial resources

and are finding difficulty in incurring expenses from their own sources for executing

project activities. Coupled with this, as reported, there has been delay in

reimbursement of expenses incurred by the SOs towards executing different project

activities. Hence, SOs are unable to pay the salaries to their staff and finding difficulty

in retaining the staff with them. The project may think of either immediate

reimbursement of bills/vouchers submitted by SOs or to provide some advances to

keep the works in progress. This is also one of the reasons for delay in conducting

training programs. The SOs are supposed to facilitate training programs and submit

the bills / vouchers for reimbursement.

Poor coordination is noticed between the district level implementation team of Dept.

of Agri./Horti. and Support Organizations (as noticed in Vizianagaram district). A bi-

monthly review meeting for assessment of work progresses with line departments

may be coordinated at district level Agri/horti department offices.

Similarly, coordination between department of Agri./Horti. and Irrigation department

appears to be weak. It is an utmost important to work on convergence and

coordination among these agencies at district level. Review meeting/ sharing of work

progress at regular intervals between dept. of Agri./Horti and Irrigation department

eases some of the obstacles in smooth functioning of the project.

95

Appointment of Para workers and retaining them throughout the project period is

becoming an issue, as availability of persons with min. 10th

qualification is difficult in

the present village situations. Those who are passed out 10th

standard is going to cities

for higher education. Some relaxation with regards to minimum educational

qualification for the appointment of para workers may be considered and/or monthly

honorarium may be adjusted based on their minimum expectation for retention.

In some villages, farmers have requested for desilting of tanks and incorporation of

the same in their fields. Farmers are also ready to bear the cost of transport and cost of

incorporation of the same in their fields. Requesting to support the excavation cost.

The tank silt application is a highly recommended practices to improve soil health and

to increase yields. As such, desilting is not a listed activity under APIIATP as it is

expected to be taken up under MGNREGS. However, it is learnt that in many villages

the activity is not being taken up under MGNREGS. Looking at the benefits of tank

silt application to soil, on case to case basis, after a thorough assessment, desilting

activity may be taken up in project villages.

Before making the project investments, through examination of the land is required.

Farmers may be suggested and facilitated to go for soil testing to find out the soil

suitability for a particular crop while promoting crop diversification. It is observed in

ChinnaSankarlapudi village in East Godavari district that the soils are highly saline

and difficult to cultivate crops other than paddy. In such cases, crop diversification

may be promoted only after the amelioration of soil salinity. In another case, it is

noticed that, under area expansion of horticulture intervention subsidy was given to a

traditional tomato farmer. He has been growing tomato in rice fallows since years.

Providing subsidy to him is not going to add additional acreage under area expansion

of vegetable crop. Project subsidy is simply adding to his investment. As much as

possible, non- traditional vegetable farmers may be motivated to grow vegetables in

rice fallow in Rabi season.

The team has noticed that, ayacut farmers are not differentiated as head reach, middle

reach, tail end and influence zone categories based on the location of their lands

within the ayacut area. Such differentiation is required for the monitoring team for the

sampling purposes during the impact assessment study. It will also help to understand

the crops and cropping system dynamics in relation to water availability within the

ayacut area. An authentic and scientific method of reach wise differentiation of ayacut

lands may be explored to make the project assessment study more scientific. The GIS

platform can be used by the GIS and MIS cell of the PMU to demarcate the cultivated

area by farmer in different tank reaches.

Department staff has expressed difficulty in communication and delivery of project

benefits in tank villages where the WUA is absent, especially in cascade tanks where

the WUA/ Committee is absent. There appears a need to frame the guidelines on

96

Water User Committee formation in cascade tanks and implementation of the

guidelines at earliest possible.

Few district nodal officers have expressed difficulty in executing the activities

planned under the project, especially in the villages that are far from headquarters.

They don’t have access to vehicles for local travel. Requested to consider the vehicle

provision on hire basis at least 15 days in a month.

Chapter -9

Socio-Economic Profile of sample households

9.0 Introduction

The present chapter primarily deals with the socioeconomic profile of sample households in

the project area duly comparing with control areas. The main emphasis was on

socioeconomic features, such as class and community composition of the sample households,

literacy, employment position, income from different sources, expenditure, asset possession

both agriculture and livestock, status of living and finally the level of indebtedness of the

project vis-à-vis control households in the surveyed tanks. This would help to assess the

project impact on the profile of the stakeholders at different phases in the study region under

the following sub heads.

9.1 Selected sample farmers in the study area

As already pointed in the methodology chapter No-1, the total selected sample farmers from

54 tanks spread over 11 districts constitute 802 households in the study area. The data is

collected as per the approved study tools. The data is tabulated in excel sheet and the analysis

is carried out as per the objectives. Similarly, the households selected from control area were

162 from 11 non-project tanks which form the basis for comparison of different socio-

economic characteristics with that of project situations. The sample 802 households, details

are given in annexure -1. The classification of the sample has been given in the following

graph.

9.2 Classification of sample farmers according to landholdings status

The sample households, thus, selected are classified according to the economic groups as

marginal, small, medium and large farmers based on size of the land holdings and are

presented in Table .2.1.

A perusal of Table 2.1 shows that more than 90 per cent of the sample constitutes marginal

and small farmers in control tanks whereas it is 78 percent in project tanks. Medium and

large farmers together constitute 7% and 21% in control and sample tanks respectively.

Details are given in annexure 2.2

9.3 Classification of household according to social categories

As indicated in Table 9.2, the project has 5% ST population while there is only 1% ST

population in the control group. With the SC population, the control group and project group

has a 8% and 9% respectively. The backward caste population is around40% in both the

project group and in control group. While the percentage of forward caste is 45% of total

sample in the project group it is 50% in the control group. The representation of SC and ST

population is observed as low in the project group. The details are given in annexure 9.3.

9.4.1 Respondents gender

Of the 802 respondents, including both control and project, the male respondents were more

accessible during the discussions, i.e., 91% where as women are limited to 9 percent. In the

control group, the women respondents were more, i.e., 14 percent while in the project the

women respondents were limited to 8%. The following graph indicates respondents’

Gender(sample).

9.4.2 Family size.

The average household size of the sample is 3.7. There is a slight variation between project

and control. The average family of state is 3.9 and sample also near to state average. The

male population outnumbered the females in project as well as control areas. The ratio of

female to male in both project and control areas was 846 and 937 respectively which is

indicating less than the state average. The details are given in the table No. 2.3.1

Table/Graph 9.3.4 Summary of Respondents literacy levels

Coming to the percentage of education levels among households of respondents, data indicate

very different trends between control and project groups.In project area, the level of

education is more.As most of the respondents are adults & middle aged and their education

level is quite low whereas other household membersfall under different age groups,

especially most of the younger people are educated as indicated below.

Table/Graph 9.3.5 Summary of literacy levels of sample households

9.5 Employment status of sample respondents and household members

It is observed from the below graph that the primary occupation of majority of respondents is

agriculture with 93 and 91 percent in control and project tanks respectively. The rest of the

respondents have other occupations such as agriculture labour, fisheries etc.,

9.6 Asset possession of households

Asset possession of households is one of the indices considered while evaluating the

economic status. In the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the assets owned.

Majority of households i.e., 97% each in control and project group possessed pucca houses.

The share of Kutcha houses is quite low within the range of 1% to 2%, which is a positive

indicator towards development. Average value of house possessed by control group is Rs.

4,52,056 which is slightly lower than the project group where the average stood at Rs.

4,77,343.

In the state, housing data is projecting healthy results, 88 percentage of the households are

having pucca houses (permanent structure) though the farm size is less, it is not having

impact on housing. It was reported that marginal and small farmers benefited from govt

housing schemes. In Anantapur, no kutcha or semi pucca houses are reported, it is because of

Govt and NGOs interventions in the district are quite reachable to the needy. Negligible

number of semi pucca(24) and Kutcha houses(8) have been witnessed predominantly in the

project area of Vizainagaram, Kurnool, Kadapa, Chittore districts.District wise possession of

house details are given in annexure 2.4

The summary of landholding wise possession of types houses are given in the table below

Asset possession of households is one of the indices considered while evaluating the

economic status. In the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the assets owned by

different categories of households such as marginal, small, medium and large farmers. There

is a variation in possessions of household articles such as TV and phones by project and

control group. On an average, each house hold has one or more cell phones and each

household has TV. It is observed that the marginal farmers in both the control and project

areas own more household articles. It has also been observed that project group owned more

computers and internet connections than control group.

9.8 Possession of milch animals

While 21% of households in control area possess livestock, it is 28% in project area. The

data reveals that there are no hybrid breed in control tanks and more than 90% of the milch

animal in project areas is native breed. The district wise details are given in Annexure 2.7

9.9 Household income

Having analysed per household income in the surveyed areas, it is worthwhile to assess the

per capita income. The main source of income is agriculture in both control and project tanks

which is followed by wages in project tank and service sector in control tanks. The dairy also

supplements the household income which is almost equal in both project tanks and control

tanks.

The summary is given in the following table. The details are given in Annexure 2.8

The data on source-wise borrowings by households presented in the table shows that

percentage of borrowings from the bank is 57 and 48 in control and project areas

respectively. The second major source of borrowings is SHG followed by friends in both

control and project areas. The cooperatives are also lending money to its member farmers, it

is relatively more in project area but percentage wise it is less extent. Money lenders and

traders are also lending money. It was observed that no one is borrowing from micro finance.
