(N) INTRODUCTION :

          Land is a critically important national resourse in which all human activity is based. Its efficient management is vital for economic growth and development of Rural Areas to harness the full potential of the available land resources and prevent its further degradation, development of rainfed area, degraded area is of great significance. Its management is complex and multi dimensional and its development requires scientific, holistic and innovative approach. Unprecedented population and cattle pressure and demands of society on scarce land, water and biological resources and the ever increasing degradation of these resources is affecting the stability and resilience of our ecosystem and the environment as a whole. The expansion of human setttlement and infrastructure, intensification of Agriculture, expansion of agriculture into marginal areas and fragile ecosystem emphasizes the need for integrated planning and management of resources.

            With ever increasing population, the needs of the people is also ever increasing. The population of Mizoram has now reached 10 lakhs resulting in increasing demand for commodities and lack of work for both the urban and rural population. Most of the rural population depends on shifting cultivation for their livelihood. Shifting Cultivation is practiced by clearing forest areas. The previous year’s jhumland is kept fallow for 5-6 year’s depending on the area available for cultivation for each village.

            Shifting Cultivation results in burning of large areas of forest including those that are not required for cultivation thereby destroying forest cover, there are fewer tress and shrubs to decrease the flow of water, hence only the top soil becomes wet leading to increased runoff speed of rain water resulting in low underground water table. Those natural springs we have that we so proudly say never runs dry have now become dry during the winter months. The water we have left barely meets the requirement for human consumption not to mention those required for irragation of farmland.

            The thinning forest cover decreases moisture content of the soil making it unsuitable for plantation of trees and crops. Temperature also increases considerably because of this. Our once fertile lands will soon become deserts if we do not put a stop to shifting cultivation soon.

            Each watershed area under the project is a micro level effort to achieve the objective of watershed programme through treating under productive and hitherto unproductive lands and taking up allied activities for the benefits of the rural poor and landless. This project adopt a common strategy of multi-resource management involving all stakeholders within the watershed, who together as a group, co-operatively identify the resources, issues and concerns of the watershed as well as develop and implement a watershed plan with solutions that are environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.

 

WATERSHED MANAGEMENT WORKS (56% WORKS COMPONENT)

Focus will be on :-

  1. Developing water, land/degraded land and abandoned jhum land on watershed basis,keeping in view the capacity of land, local condition and needs.
  2. Promoting overall economic development and improving Socio-economic condition of the poor and disadvantaged section inhabiting the project area.
  3. Restoring ecological balance by harnessing, conserving and developing natural resources. i.e., land, water and vegetative cover.
  4. Encouraging village community for sustainable community action for operation and maintenance of asstes created and further development of potential of natural resources in the watershed.
  5. Employment generation, poverty alleviation, community empowerment and development of human and other economic resources of the vilage.

Watershed Management works will be taken up in multi-tier approaches as below :-

 

(1) First Tier –Canopy/Ridge Area Treatment

(a) Stoppage of Shifting Cultivation : As per the report of the Mizoram Remote sensing Application Centre on 12th August, 2010, the soil Cultivation of the State became critical which needs to be systematically address to check further degradation and soil loss. According to MIRSAC report the vegetative cover of Mizoram is as below :-

37.07

Out of the Total area of 21087 Sq Kms, 999.52 Sq Kms. have been annually degraded due to shifting cultivation. So, a shift from jhumming to permanent farming is the need of the day.

                      

                       (b) Afforestation : Besides the natural forest areas, more areas are proposed for afforestation under IWMP and other Schemes. Increased forest area will result in decrease of runoff water, soil water content and increased precipatation/rainfall, increased underground water table.

 

                       (c) Prevention of soil erosion : Due to the hilly nature of Mizoram and deforestation, rain water easily erodes the frtile top soil. Fertility decreases considerably in places of minimal forest cover. To prevent more soil erosion, construction of terraces, afforestation and other means are proposed so that there will be minimim soil content in the runoff water.

 

 

 

2. Second Tier-Horticulture Crop Area Treatment

                       (a) Construction of Water harvesting structures and better utilization of water resources :  Rainfall is still moderate and whatever rainfall we get, if we have proper harvesting structures, is more than enough for every household use without any other source of water. In place of permanent cultivation where natural streams are available for water harvesting using gravity and in those places where water is not available by gravity also, water harvesting should be encouraged. The harvested water can be used both for human consumption as well as for irrigating farmlands and will provide the required water during dry season.

                       (b) Land Development : The Areas covered under IWMP project are planned to be developed in such a way that the productivity will increase. The areas proposed for afforestation will be developed by making terrace. Construction of terrace will prevent unnecessary water runoff, thereby, recharging the water table. In places where permanent cultivation will be practiced, depending on the slope of the terrain, terrace, bench terrace and contour trench will be constructed. Cultivation of commercial crops will be practiced in such places and irrigation facilities for dry season will be provided.

                        (c) Gestation period treatment :  The Permanent Horticulture crops planted in the 2nd Tier –Area will be mostly Orange, Hatcora, Nimbu, Litchi, Mango, Avocado and other cash crops. These crops will be harvested only after 5 years or more. During the gestation period, farmers and cultivators will be encouraged and assisted to introduce annual cash crops to meet their daily weeks.

 

3. Third Tier-Agriculture Crop Area Treatment :

                       (a) Wet rice Cultivation & Mixed Farminng : In Places of Permanent cultivation, the land will be prepared in such a way that 2-3 crops can be planted in a year. This cannot be achieved with only the natural fertility of the land, therefore, provision will be made so that the cultivators can raise domestic animals in their farmland. The manure collected from animals can be used to fertilize the land making the crops produced in these farms entirely organic. Organic products are easier to export and have a larger market.

                       (b) Multiple cropping : If water and manure are available in plenty, farmers can plant different varieties of crop depending on the season. Even during the dry season, cultivation can be done and also permanent crops can be raised

 

 

4Provision of Liveihood for Asset-less families (9% of Works Component) : The Asset-less families will be provided with a scope of micro-enterprenuership, they will be assisted and trained to take up those activities identified under the project. Livestock farming, handicraft, mechanics, black smithy, tin smithy, petty trade etc. will be encouraged by the PIA for this Asset-less people. Necessary financial and technical support will be provided from the project fund.

5Livestock Group & Existing Livelihood (10% of works Component) :

(a)Livestock Group (10%) :- Since, the Mizo’s are meat – eaters, the demand for meat production is always very high. Out of the total consumption of Beef during 2008-2009, 60% came from outside the State, 80% of fish available in the market in Mizoram are from outside the state. Therefore, the project will try to increase meat production to meat the sate demand. The following table show the meat requirement and consumption during 2008-2009.

6Rural – Urban migration : Due lo lack of employment opportunities and for various other reasons, rural populations migrate to urban areas. In urban areas there is deficit of work due to large influx of population from rural areas, resulting in poverty and creating problem for resettlement to rural areas. Using this rural- rural urban migration is hoped to be kept in check by providing them with means for secure income.

7Women empowerment : For an accelerated Socio-economic development of any community active participation of women is essential. In a social set up like ours, i.e., Patriarchal family system, the participation of women in the development process has to be ensured through tangible measures at various levels which result in empowerment of women in the real sense. This project will address to decrease the workload of women in the project area. Time spent for collecting drinking water will be reduced which will result in positive impact on the quality of life and health of women and the family.

8Creation of Assets : Using IWMP project, plans are made to provide durable assets to the rural population. These assets will last long after the completion of this project and will be handed over to the public on completion of this project. The management, repair, renovation or augmentation of these assets will be the respnsibility of the people. Plans are made in such a way that once the project is completed the public will be able to restore or augment these assets without Government help. A minimal change will be collected from the user of these assets; this collection along with WDF will be used for maintenance of these assets.

9 Convergence with other Programmes : An opportunity for convergence with other programmes of Government of India and State Government will be opened for the project area as well as beneficiaries and end-users. Convergence with other programme will be those which are not convenient to address from IWMP fund and those needing more fund and man days which could not be met from the said scheme. Beneficiaries will be encouraged to utilize such fund received by them from other sources for enhancing their activity in the project area. However, parallel funding of same activity in the same project area will be accounted separately to avoid duplicity of utilization of find. Care should be taken to check misappropriation of fund. All scheme funds should be utilized in a holistic and judicious manner.

10 Connectivity of the Project Area : Even though, IWMP is silent on the provision of connectivity to the project area, construction of road, bridges and culverts will be given priority to ease tranportation of products from the project area. Connectivity will enhance works done per day person since time for travelling to the project area from habitation will be less. Connectivity will also ensure better monotoring and supervision and implementation of works. Provision of connectivity should be done under the existing MG-NREGA or other State Schemes. An Annual Action Plan formulated by Gram Sabha of each project village will give priority on this convergence approach.

11 Food Security : In many rural villages, the parents had to toil and sweats for their Children in order to give the family a food meal twice a day. Making both ends meet is as hand as rock sometimes due to scarcity of wage employment and results in lack of purchasing power. However, in order to make availability of food more secure for the family, the project will enhance the productivity of the land, increase the income of the family and revitalize the welfare of the family so that there will be food scarcity.

12 Disaster Risk Reduction Approach : Whenever there is any developmental activities in hilly areas, landslips, erosion and road block raise their ugly heads causing devastating destructions, sometimes results in Landslips and hungers also natural calamities like Drought, Wild Fire, Airborned and Waterborned diseases. This project, as far as practicable, will address to reduce the risk of disaster due to developmental works by construction of Check Dams, Reataining Walls, Flood control works and control of free flowing rain waters by way of construction of contour lines, bundings, terracing etc. to decrease the run off speed rain water and utilize all available water in a meaning way for enhancing productivity.

HISTORY OF LUNGCHHUAN VILLAGE

Lungchhuan is a village situated under Serchhip District having boundary with N. Vanlaiphai, Sialsir and Chekawn village which is just 140 Km from its main city Aizawl. The origination of the village name is taken from the term ‘lung’ which means ‘stone’ and ‘chhuan’ which mean ‘place’. One of the stone was placed candidly in this village and this was named after the village.

Water sources are mainly seen through Khurpui and Paihte tui which are not dried up during the dry season. The main occupation of the villagers is through farming whrer rice, ginger, chillies and oranges are prevalently cultivated.

With regard to educational development, one could find the effort and support put forth by the village leaders and the Government where one Primary School, one Middle School and one High School have been established.

PARTICIPATORY RURAL APPRAISAL (PRA)

            The past experience of watershed has given tremendous input to focus on creating accountability of the stakeholders towards the programme. This has created an emphasis to include all the stakeholder communities and their local and Indigenous Technical Knowledge(ITK) while planning for any activity. Participatory approach provides a new path for planning, implementation, monitoring and post-withdrawal activities with a complete accountability of the stakehloders. Various PRA techniques like resource mapping, social mapping and season calendars were used to understand the physical and social orientation of the village in general and watershed in specific. These tools put the villagers in ease than the complicated questionaries.Various tools like Matrix ranking,Venn diagram were used to identify various local vegetations (apt for afforestation),Fodders crops, various institutions and their significance in the life of the farmers.

FINDINGS: The PRA exercise done in the project area revealed that the villages even after lengthy lecture and deliberate discussion could not make the difference between what they want and what they need. In each village the people thought that they need-

  1. Community hall with Badminton Court.
  2.  Playground with a minimum size of 120m x 70m which is medium standard football ground.
  3. Internal roads and steps.
  4. Market or waiting sheds.
  5. Office building for various NGOs i.e., YMA, MHIP and MUP
  6. Construction of roads under MG-NREGA to connect their jhum land.

           In view of the above points, none of the above items Sl/No. (d) and (f) could not alleviate poverty nor lighten the burden of loads they carry from their jhum land. Therefore, what seem to be their needsare actually what they want to have.

            Then, in the second exercise of the PRA, the need of the people was revealed, what they want becomes negligible since their wants could not fulfill the needs of the rural populace. Therefore, the following points came up which will be addressed with various R.D. Programme.

  1. Water and moisture conservation for domestic and irrigation purposes.
  2. Land development for horticulture, agriculture and pisciculture.
  3. Afforestation and regeneration of village community land.
  4. Construction of link road to each potential area to ease transportation.
  5. Contruction of storage facility and market infrastructure.
  6. Training and Capacity building for rural artisans and their sponsorship to various institutions for up-gradation of skills.

PROBLEM OF TYPOLOGY

4

Sl.no

Problem area

Problem analysis

Proposed interventions to cover come problems

1

Soil Conservation(slope, erosion, soil loss, rainfall, productivity, etc

Soil lost is immense due to direct rain drop resulting in soil erosion, destruction of vegetative barrier, decreased rainfall. Top soil loss decreased fertility of the land resulting in less productivity

Soil and moisture conservation will be done by way of construction of farm ponds, dug-out ponds, terracing, bench terracing, half moon terrace, contour trenching and planting trees, shifting cultivation will be controlled.

2

Water Conservation (water budget, ground water norms, productivity)

Decrease in vegetative barrier resulted in high run off speed of rain water and less chance of recharging water table. Direct sun light also decreases the moisture content of the soil. Once perennial streams become ephemeral.

In order to utilize every drop of water in a meaningful way, all the streams in the project area will be tapped to irrigate farm land. Rain water will be harvested in farm ponds, dug-out ponds and water harvesting structures to recharge the ground water content. Check dams will be constructed in various places to make ephemeral streams into perennial streams.

3

Crop Coverage – (80% of w/s area should be with canopy)

Practice of shifting cultivation destroyed crops and vegetative coverage. Sporadic wild fire also destroyed a vast portion of land every year. Abandoned Jhum land increases resulting in less vegetative coverage

Permanent farming will be introduced in the project area by three tier system. Canopy areas will be treated to regenerate forest, in the second tier horticulture will be introduced, the third tier will be covered with WRC and Terrace for Agriculture activity.

4

Agriculture productivity (crop wise compare with dist.average)

Due to loss of top soil, the productivity of land decreases tremendously, the productivity of land in case of paddy is only 600Kg per acre, which is almost 50% less than 10-15 years ago. The crop wise district average for major crop is as below :-

Sl.no

Project Area

Dist.Average

(a)

Paddy-600Kg/Ac

750Kg/Ac

(b)

Maize-800 Kg/Ac

950Kg/Ac

(c)

Banana-700 Kg/Ac

1000 Kg/Ac

 

The productivity will be enhanced by way of multiple cropping. Permanent crops will be introduced in slope areas, during the period  seasonal and annual crops will be sown which will doubled the income of the farmer. Organic manures will be used for enhancing the production as well as ensuring quality. Drip-irrigation will be provided to each farmer for irrigating crops. WRC areas will be provided with open or pipe irrigation to enhance productivity and enable farmer to sow more than once in their area.

5

Livestock Productivity

Lack of grazing ground for milch animals, draught animals and small ruminants. Lack of technical know how of animal management, remoteness of the project area and lack of financial support and infrastructure

Developing the existing pasture land with proper management and technical inputs for  livestock farming Training at various indentified institute to ensure growth and productivity. Developing infrastructure for production and marketing with logistic support.

6

Existing Livelihood activities for Asset less persons

No employment opportunities in the project area to earn a living except in jhum lands where weeding is required. Lack of creativeness, training and financial support for such persons.

Organizing the people to form SHG’s and imparting training at various identified institutes, door-step training at local area for Old-aged and handicapped persons. Developing infrastructure for production and marketing, provision of logistic support to the groups.

7

Community based Organization & Social Capital base

The existing CBO’s i.e. YMA, MHIP and MUP are not aware of the importance of SHG’s and Federations and lack creativity and innovative mind.

Training for CBO’s/VO’s in order to enable them to facilitate the newly formed SHG’s and federation for their growth and impart sense of ownership.

8

Capacity building (participation, awareness of watershed community)

There is no proper capacity building and awareness campaign.

Capacity building will be held at regular intervals. In order to ensure mass-participation, the time and venue should be notified in advance to all concerned.

9

Work culture of Labour force

Due to the implementation of various employment generation schemes, the people are used to earning their livelihood easily without much toil and sweat. They became irresponsible and forget the Mizo work culture where every family is self-sufficient.

In order to change the existing work-culture, comprehensive plan should be worked out to ensure better profits from works done by each produce and induce the spirit of ownership of every work done. Everyone should be made to deliver considerable effort for his and his family’s self-sufficiency without external support.

10

Land Ownership Pattern

During the implementation of NLUP and MIP in Mizoram, community land available for jhuming was distributed to every family at the rate of 4 Acres. Even after the dis-continuance of the programmes, the allotee usually claimed their land allotted to them even if they could not look after it.

The Village Council in consultation with Revenue Department, Government of Mizoram should declared the allotment of land to those allotees null and void, and re-distribute the land to deserving families who are willing to take up the activities under IWMP

11

Connectivity of Watershed Area and Potential Areas

Due to lack of foresight, the village authorities could not formulate plans to connect every potential area with roads to ease transportation of produces resulting in heavy burden for farmers and cultivators.

Village Authorities will be made conscious of the importance of connectivity to the potential project areas. They will make fund available for construction of road connectivity under every available schemes. This will ease transportation of produces, reduce the cost of transportation and market price of the produce, it will also decrease time taken for the produces to reach markets.

12

Marketing of produces

Even though the produces of the locality is of small quantity, it became too much for local consumption, but too little for outside market.

Produces will be quantified at least three-folded in each item to enable the farmers to sell outside the locality. Transportation arrangement will be made at watershed committee level to ensure that those produces reach the market within 24 hours

13

Storage of produces

Due to lack of produces facilities for storing Horticultre products in local area, the products became rotten in a short span of time, then farmers and cultivators not only loses but are also demoralized.

Cold storage facilities will be applied in the concerned Department undder the Government of Mizoram where every beneficiary will deposit their produces before sending them to the market.

14

Credit Linkage

Due to lack of banking infrastructure in remote villages, credit linkage and banking assistance are out of reach for the rural populace.

Bank officials will be made to paticipate more in the implementation of the project where they could fetch a good return. The dormancy of service area of each banks will be made to revive, in return, the loaness will be made to recover their loans in regular intervals so that the bank, the loaness and SHG will be more profitable.

15

Lack of Training Infrastructure and Institutional Support and Sponsorship

There are only a few training facilities and institutions for the rural artisans, even though the existing ones are almost out of reach for them due to lack of sponsorship and financial support for upgradation of skills.

Recent establishment of R-SETI at Zemabawk, KVK N. Vanlaiphai and farmers Training Centre at Selesih will help upgrade the rural artisans, farmers and micro enterpreneurss. Sponsorship will be done from training and capacity building fund of the project. Whenever possible, private trainers will be engaged to impart in – house/dooor step Training to old aged pensioner, widows and handicapped persons. Upgradation of skill will enable the produces of rural artisans to compete in the open markets.

16

Sparodic wild fire

Due to Bamboo flowering in 2007,2008 & 2009, Vast bamboo forest was covered with dried bamboos. Some miscreants used to set fire causing destruction of new young plants coming up

Focus will be set to those areas selected under the project to control wild fire, controlled burning and watch of wild fire will be introduced. Comprehensive Plan will be evolved at Village Level to create awareness. Village Level Authority will be encouraged to punish and fine those who cuased such wild fire.

17

Time management

Due to lack of efficient time management, valuable time have been thrown away which could be utilized in an efficient manner if management have been properly arranged

The PIA will be advised to opened a Site Office within his IWMP Project Area for better co-ordination with the Watershed Committees, User Group, Selp-Help Groups and the beneficiaries. All programmes of training, awareness, capacity buildings and fields visits will be notified in advance so that there will be no lapsed in the part of the PIA nor the end users.

  1. The Unit Cost or assistance per beneficiary under NLUP will be Rs. 1,00,000 approximately.
  2. Unit Cost or assistance per beneficiary under the IWMP is Rs. 10950
  3. Beneficiary under IWMP who received one unit of assistance i.e Rs, 10950 will be assisted with Rs. 89050 under NLUP and those who received two unit cost of Rs. 21900 under IWMP will get 78100 from NLUP. If the beneficiaries under IWMP receive three or more unit cost, the assistance under NLUP will decreases gradually.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

 

Expected Outcomes

                        Till today, agriculture in Mizoram has been characterized mainly by Jhuming cultivation, unproductive methods of farming, degradation of land  due to slash-and burn practices and wasteful use of land and water. In short, it can be said that agricultural production in the state of Mizoram is very low due to improper management of land and water received by it. With proper training and sensitization efforts under IWMP, it is expected that the community will slowly but surely be persuaded to adopt permanent farming as a viable, sustainable and more profitable alternative to the shifting method of farming. Further, with the implementation of the programme, a significant amount of the run-off rain water will be harvested and utilized to irrigate cultivated land during the dry season and more areas will be brought under multiple cropping to optimize the usage of cultivable land. Although it may be presumptous to predict a definite figure of growth in production, it is expected that an average increase of up to 10% in agricultural production will be possible if the watershed projects are successfully implemented.

 

                        The major outcomes expected are :-

  1. More natural sources of water lying untapped wil be exploited and harnessed for drinking purposes. Also a number of traditional water bodies which are lying in a state of disrepair will be repaired and revived for use by the community.
  2. Rain water which normally runs off during the monsoons will be harvested in reserviors and used for irrigation during part of the dry season.
  3. Underutilized, unutilized and ill-utilized natural resources will be efficiently utilized for need based production system to enhance productivity and prosperity in rain fed areas. Over 56% of activities in IWMP will be related to improvement of soil conservation measures, rain water harvesting programmes for all round livelihood improvement of these projects areas and identify the potential areas during the participatory rural appraisal exercise.
  4. 100% involvement of Gram Panchayats will be a direct and immediate outcome, which, in turn, is expected to translate into a larger community participation in Watershed Management projects, as well as the creation and maintenance of community assets.
  5. Cultivation of high value horticulture crops, such as mushrooms, bird eye chillies, turmeric, ginger, brocoli etc will be encouraged so as to improve the livelihood farmers of the project areas.
  6. Increase in the production of floricultural plants such as anthurium, roses, lilium and chrysanthemum which have been explored at an experimental level and found to have tremendous commercial potential in the state.
  7. Revival of existing SHGs formed under SGSY and increasing their income potential under the programme will be thrust area within the project areas.
  8. Professionalisation of Skills through capacity building.
  9. Rejuvenation of forest and improvement of ecological balance.
  10. Reduction in rural-urban migration as a result of permanent farming in rural areas.
  11. Better marketing opportunities through the village haats set up under SGSY.

 

Overall, these efforts will result in enhancing growth, farm income. Generated employment avenues and reduced poverty of the rural poor and improved productivity of natural resources will have a cascading effect on livelihood and the state’s economy as a whole.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

 

Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E)

            Monitoring and evaluation are two different management tools that are closely related, interactive and mutually supportive. Monitoring and evaluation enable us to assess the quality and impact of our works against our action plan and our strtegic plan.

 

Goals of monitoring :

  1. Operational control
  2. Quick feedback on project effectiveness
  3. Timely alarm signals in the case of significantdeviations
  4. Ensuring full benefits to the target groups
  5. Providing inputs for better design of development interventions, project planning and community mobilization

Evaluation is the comparison of actual project impacts against the agreed strategic plans.

Goals of evaluation :

  1. To assess the impact of the programmes and identify bottlenecks in implementation
  2. To improve effectiveness of policies and programmes. At the District level, the DWCDC will have one member exclusively responsible.

For effective monitoring, the role of the SLNA is critical in ensuring the following :-

  1. Internal monitoring by project teams (PIA/DWDC)
  2. Progress monitoring
  3. GIS/Web based on line monitoring
  4. Self monitoring by committees
  5. Sustainability monitoring
  6. Social audits.

 

There will be a panel of evaluators approved by the SLNA. The evaluators will oversee the

physical, financial and social impact of the work done. They should not act as inspectors but as facilitators. However, they will very strict in ensuring that guidelines are being follwed. Fund release will depend upon on a favourable report from the evaluators.

                        Social audits will form an important component of the evaluation system. Social audits will be held once every six months. The minutes of the Social Audits will be compiled by the District Watershed Cell & Data Centre and necessary action will be taken by the District Watershed Cell & Data Centre and will also be forwarded to the SLNA. The SLNA will hold an assessment meeting subsequent to the submission of every such report and decide the follow up action that is required to be taken.
