The project targeted to rehabilitate around 2,000 tanks under original financing and 1,225 tanks under additional financing. Further, 700 tanks were added to use savings of original project in 2010 which led to a revision of total project target from 3,225 tanks to 3,925 tanks. Out of these, 3,710 tanks have been taken up for implementation. The project has formed 3,126 TUGs to implement and manage these 3,710 tanks. A total of 1,742 tanks have or are about to be completed with handing over to TUGs and remaining 1,761 tanks are under implementation with overall progress of around 50% (10-90%). In 207 Page 1 of 5 @ The World Bank Report No: ISR5936 tanks, even though contracts have been awarded, the progress has been nil, therefore they have or will be dropped. For the tanks with the civil works at various stages of completion, the non-civil works such as agricultural practices, fisheries, income generation activities, and training for operation and maintenance have been completed. In order to implement ambitious target of more than 1700 tanks during additional financing period, the project was expecting to have two working seasons for civil works. However, the preparation took longer than expected, with for instance setting up district project units in nine additional districts, the procurement of supporting key consultancies such as almost 60 NGOs and Stopographical survey consultancies. Due to time taken in preparation for implementation and procurement of contracts, the project was left with one working season during 2011 only 0 for most tanks. Even though the project team has worked effectively to complete this challenging task, one more construction season in 2012 will be required to complete the civil works in these ongoing tanks as well as the proper handover process. 0 U Locations Country First Administrative Division Location Planned Actual 2 India State of Karnataka State of Karnataka Results Project Development Objective Indicators Indicator Name Core Unit of Measure Baseline Current End Target Community-based self-supporting and Text Value Nil. 3,126 tank user groups 3800 tank user groups, sustainable tank development institutions representing for 3710 tanks including about 2700 from the (TUGs) in place and functioning have been formed. original funding, and 1100 from the Additional Financing.

The State of Karnataka made a request, supported by DEA, for a one year extension of the project in order to complete the rehabilitation/modernization of the remaining tanks. However, considering that the project has demonstrated the viability of a community-based approach to tank improvement and O&M through TUGs, it was decided to close the project. The state of Karnataka has committed to complete the project successfully and the project's Executive Committee has recommended the allocation of budget for next year. > Restructuring History 0 o Level two Approved on 29-Apr-2005, Level two Approved on 25-Mar-2010 U) Related Projects 0 O P102328-Karnataka Community Based Tank Management Project (Supplement) Pe, 0 Page 5 of 5
