This will be achieved through development of minor irrigation (MI) schemes, strengthening community-based irrigation management, and support to agricultural development, including provision of agricultural services, encouraging crop diversification and use of new technologies, and creating income generating opportunities. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name Component A.

This has resulted in significant implementation delays in delivering completed irrigation schemes to the farmers. However, the assessment confirmed that the project has clearly come out of the initial languor as evidenced from: (i) the project has brought about qualitative improvements in planning the schemes using advanced technology (including GIS and remotes sensing based) for targeting the most needy locations for project interventions; (ii) the transition from traditional designs using conventional detailed project report (DPR) formats to more comprehensive and site specific Scheme Development Management plans (SDMP) with socially-environmentally and technically viable solutions documented through meaningful consultation and active involvement of beneficiary farmers; (iii) a promising progress completing over 363 schemes, and awarding the contract for more than 600 schemes for implementation; (iv) initiatives by Government of West Bengal for state wide adoption of design of Minor Irrigation Schemes following the ‘site specific process model’ introduced by the project; and (v) increasing trends of productivity of major crops of paddy, mustard and vegetables through a number of on farm demonstration of promising technologies. In order to expedite the progress and ensure effective implementation in project intended areas, several adjustments have been introduced since the inception of project. Primary adjustments include: i) increased focus on five dry districts in western part of state with predominantly rainfed agriculture as focus area where more than 60 percent of the investments will take place. ii) update of traditional designs with socially-environmentally and technically improved and viable solutions documented through meaningful consultation and active involvement of beneficiary farmers. Due to the change in focus to more expensive schemes in the western districts, various design changes introduced to devise appropriate and durable infrastructure, and increase in material and construction costs, the costs for the development of schemes have almost doubled, with a related reduction in benefited area. Further, the potential area of scheme has been revised to the area assured with irrigation for at least two seasons instead of supplementary irrigation in monsoon season assumed during the project formulation.
