Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured)PHRPDODEL The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to support the watershed development component of PMKSY through technical assistance to improve incremental conservation outcomes and agricultural yields for communities in selected sites, and adoption of more effective processes and technologies in participating states.

Based on guidance from the Government of India's Department of Economic Affairs in January, 2018, the Department of Land Resources, participating states, and World Bank met for two weeks to develop a plan for project restructuring to recalibrate activities and adjust component allocations. The proposed restructuring will now focus project inputs in ten watersheds of 5,000 ha each, in all of the nine states. On these sites, the project will finance up-front technical inputs to develop a detailed land inventory and data base, preparation of a detailed watershed plan, and focused support for farmers and communities around climate resilience, crop and water management, market access and value chains, and rural livelihoods. Then, the project will finance all follow-on investments in soil and water conservation and monitor impacts on these sites compared to control sites from the national watershed program. If approved by the Government of India and the World Bank, the proposed restructuring would be likely be initiated in May, 2018. 5/8/2018 Page 2 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Neeranchal National Watershed Project (P132739) 5/8/2018 Page 3 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Neeranchal National Watershed Project (P132739) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance  --  Moderate  Moderate Macroeconomic  --  Low  Low Sector Strategies and Policies  --  Moderate  Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program  --  Moderate  Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Sustainability  --  Substantial  Substantial Fiduciary  --  Moderate  Moderate Environment and Social  --  Moderate  Moderate Stakeholders  --  Moderate  Moderate Other  --  --  -- Overall  --  Substantial  Substantial 5/8/2018 Page 4 of 13 Public Disclosure Copy Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Neeranchal National Watershed Project (P132739) Results Project Development Objective Indicators PHINDPDOTBL  Conservation outcomes in Selected micro-watersheds (MWS) (Percentage, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.10 0.00 0.00 0.00 Date 01-Nov-2013 30-Nov-2017 09-Mar-2018 31-Mar-2022 PHINDPDOTBL  PDO 1-a.
