Foreword by DLIC
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) is a national mission to improve farm productivity and
ensure better utilization of the resources in the country. The primary objectives of PMKSY are to attract
investment in irrigation system at field level, develop and expand cultivable land in the country enhance rain
water use in order to minimize wastage of water, enhance crop per drop by implementing water – saving
technologies and precision irrigation. The plan additionally calls for bringing ministries, offices,
organizations, research and financial institutions occupied with creation and recycling of water under one
platform so that an exhaustive and holistic outlook of the whole water cycle is considered. The goal is to
open the doors for optimal water budgeting in all the sectors.
In order to achieve the objectives, the District Irrigation Plan of East Garo Hills district, Meghalaya is
prepared by District level Implementation Committee consisting of various Departments and NABCONS
after thoroughly studying the scenario of the district. I wish to thank all the members of DLIC, NABCONS
and all other officers/ officials of all the line departments for preparation of District Irrigation Plan and wish
them good luck for its better implementation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In an agrarian economy like India, agriculture utilizes the major share of country’s exploitable water
resources. Though the sector utilizes the maximum share of exploitable water resources, availability of the
same at different locations to different extents makes it vital to adopt effective utilization of water through
storage, channelizing and judicial use. At some places like Punjab and Haryana, the environmental and
socio-economic rationale for this capture by the sector is now being questioned. Accordingly, it is needed to
challenge and change the fundamentals of the prevailing view of water resources exploitation. A new and
more suitable approach to water resources allocation is necessary if the population is to be adequately fed,
without further degradation and destruction of the critical ecosystem services. Water productivity needs to
be enhanced considerably, and economic cost-benefit analysis and pricing regimes can play a significant
role in such a process. However, these economic measures will not be sufficient on their own. They will
need to be buttressed by technological innovation and institutional changes in order to encourage a more
equitable distribution of resources and to mitigate potential international conflicts across 'shared' water
basins.
Water has unique characteristics that determine both its allocation and use as a resource by agriculture.
Agricultural use of water for irrigation is itself contingent on land resources. In a situation of growing water
scarcity and rising demands for non-agricultural (household and industrial) use of water, reassessment of
sectoral allocations of water are inevitable. In developing countries, irrigated agriculture plays a vital role in
contributing towards domestic food security and poverty alleviation. Therefore, achievement of these
objectives is dependent on adequate allocations of water to agriculture. Justification of such allocations
requires that irrigated agriculture be a cost-effective means of achieving stated political or social objectives,
such as food security or poverty alleviation, and that all externalities be taken into account in the pricing
mechanism. Improved allocation of irrigation water is required within the agriculture sectors in order to
achieve greater efficiency in the use of irrigation water and existing irrigation infrastructure. Reallocation is
alsorequired in order to reduce water logging and salinization of irrigated land, to decrease the negative
environmental impacts and other externalities of irrigation (caused by over extraction of groundwater and
depletion and pollution of surface water).
Government of India launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) to address the
constraints in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of current water
use to bring more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India were reflected in the
Hon’ble President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16th Lok Sabha where he indicated
that “Each drop of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority to water security. It will
complete the long pending irrigation projects on priority and launch the ‘Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee
Yojana’ with the motto of ‘Har Khet Ko Pani’. There is a need for seriously considering all options including
linking of rivers, where feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our water resources to prevent the recurrence of
floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through ‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’, we will nurture water
conservation and groundwater recharge. Micro irrigation will be popularized to ensure ‘Per Drop-More
Crop”.

PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50, 000 crore over a period of five years from
2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry of Water
Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation and Ministry
of Rural Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI, SWMA, and Watershed & Convergence
with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella program of PMKSY. Further the scheme seeks
convergence with scheme like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGS), Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and Rural
Electrification programmes (JLNNSM&REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF), Members of
Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of Legislative Assembly Local Area
Development Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest Department
(WPSFD) etc. The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by adopting a
decentralized state level planning and projected execution structure that will allow the state to draw up their
own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7 years. The program will be
supervised and coordinated utilizing the existing mechanism and structure available under Rashtriya Krishi
Vikas Yojana (RKVY) program with State Agriculture Department acting as the State Nodal Agency for
implementation of PMKSY. However, the implementing Departments for the four components like AIBP,
PMKSY (Har Khet Ko Pani), PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop) and PMKSY (watershed development) will be
decided by the respective program ministry/department.
The five chapters along with introduction chapter, explains the profile of district, its water requirement for
agriculture and allied sector, water availability, assessment of water requirement for various sectors and
strategic action plan for augmentation and effective management of available water resources.
District Demography:
As per 2011 census, the population of the district is 1,61,926 (including institutional and houseless population,
excluding population in the age group 0 - 6) out of which male population is 82,399 and female population is
79,527. With a population density of 122 person per square kilometer, East Garo Hills is relatively denser
compared to the population density of the state (132 person per square kilometer). There are 29,724
households in the district as per census 2011.
Demand for water and the gap:
The water budget of the district is prepared for the district for 2015-16 to 2020-21. The present water
availability/demand and also for 2020-21 are worked out and the water gap is found out. The water budget
clearly shows the water gap of 622.7 MCM in present and of 623.91 MCM in future between the water
availability and requirement.
PMKSY Financial Proposal:
Total plan of East Garo Hills district for four years works out to be Rs. 12214.9835 lakh. Maximum share of
Rs. 8430.639 lakhs (69%) is for Water Resources department followed by Soil Conservation department,
Agriculture department department with Rs. 3532.99 lakhs (29%), Rs. 251.3545 lakhs (2%) respectively.

INTRODUCTION
Background
Preparation of decentralized area specific district planning process visualized in various plans took
concrete shape through the years and initiatives like specific guidelines on methodologies and processes
for preparation of district plans; framework for preparation of perspective plan, medium term and annual
plans by then planning commission in 1969 and the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments conferring
constitutional status to Panchayats at district and sub district level; local self-government in urban areas;
constitution of district planning committee to consolidate the plans prepared at Panchayats and
municipalities and prepare a draft development plan for the whole district.
The decentralized planning process was further strengthened through emphasis by planning commission
on preparation of district level plans and making it an integral part of the process of preparation of the
state’s 11th five year plan. The Planning commission issued guidelines in August 2006 for preparation of the
district plans. The guidelines define the District Planning as ‘the process of preparing an integrated plan for
the local government sector in a district taking into account the resources (natural, human and financial)
available and covering the sectoral activities and schemes assigned to the district level and below and
those implemented through local governments in a state. The document that embodies this statement of
resources and their allocation for various purposes is known as the District Plan”.
Government of India through a resolution in National Development Council on 29th May 2007 conceived a
special Additional Central Assistance Scheme (ACAS) to address the slow growth of agriculture and allied
sectors by incentivizing states to draw up plans for their agriculture sectors more comprehensively. The
NDC resolution states "GoI will introduce a new Additional Central Assistance Scheme to incentivize states
to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural
resource issues and technology into account, and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries, etc. This will
involve a new scheme for Additional Central Assistance (ACA) to State Plans, administered by the Union
Ministry of Agriculture over and above its existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes, to supplement the State-
specific strategies including special schemes for beneficiaries of land reforms. The newly created National
Rainfed Area Authority will, on request, assist States in planning for rainfed areas".
The NDC in its resolution advised the states to prepare a comprehensive district agriculture plans (C-DAP)
that will fully utilize available resources and will include allied agriculture sectors. Further, GOI issued a
manual on preparation of comprehensive district agriculture plans to help the states prepare C-DAP. As per
these guidelines, the objective of district planning is ‘to design an integrated and participatory action plan
for the development of local area in general and agriculture and allied sectors in particular’. The objectives
of Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) are:
To prepare a Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) through participatory process
involving various organisations and stakeholders.
To enable optimum utilisation of scarce natural, physical & financial resources.
To assess and plan for the infrastructure required to support the agriculture development.

To establish linkages with the required institutional support services, like credit, technology
transfer, ICT, research etc.
To evolve an action plan for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with food security and
cropping system that will improve farmers’ income.
The guidelines required the state/district authorities to (i) ensure that the agricultural plans are prepared for
the district and then integrated into the agricultural plans of the State based on the agro-climatic conditions,
availability of technology, trained manpower and natural resources; (ii) local needs / crops / feed and
fodder / animal husbandry / dairying / fisheries / priorities are reflected in the plan; (iii) productivity gaps for
important crops and livestock and fisheries are reduced; and (iv) the returns to the farmers from these are
maximized.
The latest move in the process of strengthening of decentralized planning process was the Government of
India guidelines issued in 2015 in the form of a template for the preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP)
and State Irrigation Plan (SIP) as part of the Pradhan MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) program and
made the preparation of DIP and SIP mandatory for the states to receive funds from the program. The
present report is a product of these long drawn efforts of Government of India to strengthen the
decentralized planning process in the country focusing on the vital resource i.e., water.
Water is of vital importance for human & animal life, maintenance of ecological balance and promotion of
developmental activities. Considering its vital importance and ever increasing demand for water, in the face
of population growth, urbanization & industrialization and considerations of climatic change, making water,
an increasingly a scarce resource, available to multiple uses, planning and management of this vital
resources, utilization of water economically, optimally and equitably assumes greater importance.
According to the 12th Five year Plan the water budget estimates of India by Ministry of Water Resources
suggests an availability of 1123 billion cubic meters (BCM) against a current estimated demand of 710
BCM. The Standing Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources estimates that this water demand will
rise to 1093 BCM by 2025. Though the existing water availability in the immediate future seems to be
adequate, with the near constant supply of water resources in the face of increasing demand on account of
population growth, urbanisation and industrialization will strain the water supply-demand balance.
The per capita water availability which stood at 5,177 cubic meters in 1951 was reduced to 1820 cubic
meters in 2001 while the international prescribed limit is 1800 cubic meters. The projected per capita
availability of water is 1341 cubic meters in 2025 and 1140 cubic meters in 2050 suggesting shortage of
water in the medium term1. Further, the all India water balance estimates does not reflect the variations in
water balance across time and space- certain areas having a positive water balance and the others facing
acute shortage. The problem is further accentuated by water quality related issues.
With the abundant surface and ground water supply in the first five decades since independence, more
than 80 percent of the total available water resources were allocated for irrigation purposes and the rest
meeting the domestic and industrial demands. In a recent studyon the demand for water from agriculture, 1Ministry of Water Resources (2011), Strategic Plan for Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, New
Delhi.

domestic and industrial uses in 2000, 2025 and 2050 seems to suggest that domestic demand (34 BCM in
2000, 66 BCM in 2025 and 101 BCM in 2050) and industrial demand (42 BCM in 2000, 92 BCM in 2025
and 161 BCM in 2050) for water will utilize the total balance water available while agriculture demand for
water will be (605 BCM in 2000, 675 BCM in 2025 and 637 BCM in 2050). This change is partly because
of the changing sectoral contributions of India’s GDP and also partly because of dynamics of irrigation
development in the country where the initial expansion in area under irrigation is propelled by the
availability of abundant water resources and availability of good quality land. This is no longer the case in
many of the states where the availability of land and water are serious constraints for further expansion of
irrigation. Further, as per the erstwhile planning commission up to March 2012 out of 141 million hectares
of net sown area in the country 114 (or 81%) million hectares is Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and 88
(or 62%) million hectares is Irrigation Potential Utilised (IPU) leaving almost 20% of irrigated potential
unutilized. This leaves 40 percent of the net sown area in the country dependent on rainfall which makes
farming a high risk and less productive.
The competing demands for water resources and the emerging issues and concerns were to be addressed
through certain basic principles and commonality in approaches in dealing with planning, development and
management of water resources2 under an Integrated Water Resource Management framework. The main
objectives of water resource management as delineated in National Water Policy 2012 are:
a) Planning, development and management of water resources need to be governed by common
integrated perspective considering local, regional, State and national context, having an
environmentally sound basis, keeping in view the human, social and economic needs.
b) Principle of equity and social justice must inform use and allocation of water.
c) Good governance through transparent informed decision making is crucial to the objectives of
equity, social justice and sustainability. Meaningful intensive participation, transparency and
accountability should guide decision making and regulation of water resources.
d) Water needs to be managed as a common pool community resource held, by the state, under
public trust doctrine to achieve food security, support livelihood, and ensure equitable and
sustainable development for all.
e) Water is essential for sustenance of eco-system, and therefore, minimum ecological needs
should be given due consideration.
f) Safe Water for drinking and sanitation should be considered as pre-emptive needs, followed by
high priority allocation for other basic domestic needs (including needs of animals), achieving
food security, supporting sustenance agriculture and minimum eco-system needs. Available
water, after meeting the above needs, should be allocated in a manner to promote its
conservation and efficient use.
g) All the elements of the water cycle, i.e., evapo-transpiration, precipitation, runoff, river, lakes, soil
moisture, and ground water, sea, etc., are interdependent and the basic hydrological unit is the
river basin, which should be considered as the basic hydrological unit for planning.
h) Given the limits on enhancing the availability of utilizable water resources and increased
variability in supplies due to climate change, meeting the future needs will depend more on

demand management, and hence, this needs to be given priority, especially through (a) evolving
an agricultural system which economizes on water use and maximizes value from water, and (b)
bringing in maximum efficiency in use of water and avoiding wastages.
i) Water quality and quantity are interlinked and need to be managed in an integrated manner,
consistent with broader environmental management approaches inter-alia including the use of
economic incentives and penalties to reduce pollution and wastage.
j) The impact of climate change on water resources availability must be factored into water
management related decisions. Water using activities need to be regulated keeping in mind the
local geo climatic and hydrological situation.
Government of India launched Pradhan MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana (PMKSY) to address the constraints
in providing assured irrigation as well as increasing efficiency and productivity of current water use to bring
more prosperity to the rural areas. Priorities of Government of India were reflected in the Hon’ble
President’s address to the joint Session of the Parliament of 16thLok Sabha where he indicated that “Each
drop of water is precious. Government is committed to giving high priority to water security. It will
complete the long pending irrigation projects on priority and launch the ‘Pradhan
MantriKrishiSinchayeeYojana’ with the motto of ‘HarKhetKoPani’. There is a need for seriously
considering all options including linking of rivers, where feasible; for ensuring optimal use of our
water resources to prevent the recurrence of floods and drought. By harnessing rain water through
‘Jal Sanchay’ and ‘Jal Sinchan’, we will nurture water conservation and ground water recharge.
Micro irrigation will be popularised to ensure ‘Per drop-More crop”.
PMKSY has been approved with an indicative outlay of Rs.50,000 crore over a period of five years from
2015-16 to 2019-20. The programme is an amalgamation of on-going schemes of Ministry of Water
Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Agriculture & Cooperation and
Ministry of Rural Development. The existing schemes AIBP, CADWM, MI, SWMA, Watershed&
Convergence with MGNREGA were brought together under the umbrella program of PMKSY. Further the
scheme seeks convergence with scheme likeMahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee
Scheme (MGNRES), RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana (RKVY), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and
Rural Electrification programmes (JLNNSM&REP), Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF),
Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD), Members of Legislative Assembly
Local Area Development Fund (MLALAD), Local Body Funds (LBF), Working Plan of State Forest
Department (WPSFD) etc. The PMKSY will be implemented in an area development mode only by
adopting a decentralized state level planning and projectised execution structure that will allow the state to
draw up their own irrigation development plans based on DIPs and SIPs with a horizon of 5-7 years. The
program will be implemented as part of RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana (RKVY) with state agriculture
department acting as the State Nodal Agency. However, the implementing departments for the four
components like AIBP, PMKSY (HarKhetKoPani), PMKSY (Per drop more crop) and PMKSY (watershed
development) will be decided by the respective program ministry/department.
The funds under this program would be provided to the states as per the pattern of assistance of Centrally
Sponsored Schemes (CSS) decided by the Ministry of Finance and NITI Aayog. During 2015-16 the
existing pattern of assistance of ongoing scheme was continued. An outlay of Rs. 50,000 crore has been

approved for 2015-20. The financial assistance provided to the state governments from this centrally
sponsored scheme is subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.Firstly, a state will become eligible to
access PMKSY fund only if it has prepared the District Irrigation Plans (DIP) and State Irrigation Plan (SIP),
excepting for the initial year, and the expenditure in water resource development for agriculture sector in
the year under consideration is not less than the baseline expenditure, which is defined as the average of
the expenditure in irrigation sector irrespective of the department in the state plan in three years prior to the
year under consideration. Secondly, States will be given additional weightage for levying charges on water
and electricity for irrigation purposes, so as to ensure sustainability of the programme. Thirdly, interstate
allocation of PMKSY fund will be decided based on
Share of percentage of unirrigated area in the state vis-à-vis national average including
prominence of areas classified under Desert Development Programme (DDP) and Drought Prone
Area Development Programme (DPAP)
Increase in percentage share of expenditure on water resource development for agriculture
sector in State Plan expenditure in the previous year over three years prior to it and
Improvement in irrigation efficiency in the state.
Vision
The overreaching vision of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) will be to ensure access to
some means of protective irrigation to all agricultural farms in the country, to produce ‘per drop more crop’,
thus bringing much desired rural prosperity.
Objective
The objectives of the PMKSY are to:
a) Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of district level and,
if required, sub district level water use plans).
b) Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured
irrigation (HarKhetkoPani),
c) Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through
appropriate technologies and practices.
d) Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in duration
and extent,
e) Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies (More crop per
drop).
f) Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices
g) Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed approach towards soil
and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff, providing livelihood
options and other NRM activities.
h) Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop alignment
for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
i) Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for peri-urban agriculture, and
j) Attract greater private investments in irrigation.
DIP, East Garo Hills - Meghalaya

Strategy/approach
To achieve these objectives PMKSY adopted strategies that include
a) Creation of new water sources; repair, restoration and renovation of defunct water sources;
construction of water harvesting structures, secondary & micro storage, groundwater
development, enhancing potentials of traditional water bodies at village level like Jal Mandir
(Gujarat); Khatri, Kuhl (H.P.); Zabo (Nagaland); Eri, Ooranis (T.N.); Dongs (Assam); Katas,
Bandhas (Odisha and M.P.) etc.
b) Developing/augmenting distribution network where irrigation sources (both assured and
protective) are available or created;
c) Promotion of scientific moisture conservation and run off control measures to improve ground
water recharge so as to create opportunities for farmers to access recharged water through
shallow tube/dug wells;
d) Promoting efficient water conveyance and field application devices within the farm viz,
underground piping system, Drip & Sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns and other application devices
etc.;
e) Encouraging community irrigation through registered user groups/farmer producers’
organisations/NGOs; and
f) Farmer oriented activities like capacity building, training and exposure visits, demonstrations,
farm schools, skill development in efficient water and crop management practices (crop
alignment) including large scale awareness on more crop per drop of water through mass media
campaign, exhibitions, field days, and extension activities through short animation films etc.
Programme Components
PMKSY has following four components:
1. Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP): to focus on faster completion of ongoing
Major and Medium Irrigation including National Projects.
2. PMKSY (HarKhetkoPani): This component focuses on-
a) Creation of new water sources through Minor Irrigation (both surface and ground water)
b) Repair, restoration and renovation of water bodies; strengthening carrying capacity of traditional
water sources, construction rain water harvesting structures (Jal Sanchay);
c) Command area development, strengthening and creation of distribution network from source to
the farm;
d) Ground water development in the areas where it is abundant, so that sink is created to store
runoff/ flood water during peak rainy season.
e) Improvement in water management and distribution system for water bodies to take advantage of
the available source which is not tapped to its fullest capacity (deriving benefits from low hanging
fruits). At least 10% of the command area to be covered under micro/precision irrigation.
f) Diversion of water from source of different location where it is plenty to nearby water scarce
areas, lift irrigation from water bodies/rivers at lower elevation to supplement requirements
beyond IWMP and MGNREGS irrespective of irrigation command.
DIP, East Garo Hills - Meghalaya

g) Creating and rejuvenating traditional water storage systems like Khatri, Kuhl etc. at feasible
locations.
3. PMKSY (Per Drop More Crop):
a) Programme management, preparation of State/District Irrigation Plan, approval of annual action
plan, Monitoring etc.
b) Promoting efficient water conveyance and precision water application devices like drips,
sprinklers, pivots, rain-guns in the farm (Jal Sinchan);
c) Topping up of input cost particularly under civil construction beyond permissible limit (40%),
under MGNREGS for activities like lining inlet, outlet, silt traps, distribution system etc.
d) Construction of micro irrigation structures to supplement source creation activities including tube
wells and dug wells (in areas where ground water is available and not under semi critical/ critical/
over exploited category of development) which are not supported under AIBP, PMKSY
(HarKhetkoPani), PMKSY (Watershed) and MGNREGS as per Taluka/district irrigation plan.
e) Secondary storage structures at tail end of canal system to store water when available in
abundance (rainy season) or from perennial sources like streams for use during dry periods
through effective on-farm water management;
f) Water lifting devices like diesel/ electric/ solar pumpsets including water carriage pipes,
underground piping system.
g) Extension activities for promotion of scientific moisture conservation and agronomic measures
including cropping alignment to maximise use of available water including rainfall and minimise
irrigation requirement (Jal Sarankchan);
h) Capacity building, training and awareness campaign including low cost publications, use of pico
projectors and low cost films for encouraging potential use water source through technological,
agronomic and management practices including community irrigation.
i) The extension workers will be empowered to disseminate relevant technologies under PMKSY
only after requisite training is provided to them especially in the area of promotion of scientific
moisture conservation and agronomic measures, improved/ innovative distribution system like
pipe and box outlet system, etc. Appropriate Domain Experts will act as Master Trainers.
j) Information Communication Technology (ICT) interventions through NeGP-A to be made use in
the field of water use efficiency, precision irrigation technologies, on farm water management,
crop alignment etc. and also to do intensive monitoring of the Scheme.
4. PMKSY (Watershed Development):
a) Effective management of runoff water and improved soil & moisture conservation activities such
as ridge area treatment, drainage line treatment, rain water harvesting, in-situ moisture
conservation and other allied activities on watershed basis.

Rationale/ Justification
In reference to the status and need of irrigation, the water resource management including irrigation related
priorities was identified for East Garo Hills district by the peoples’ representatives of district with support
from administration and technical experts. For instance the reports of Strategic Research and Extension
Plan (SREP) prepared under ATMA program, Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) prepared
as part of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Potential Linked Credit Plans (PLP) of NABARD and the
Integrated District Development Plan etc. identified number of irrigation related issues for East Garo Hills
district including (i) creating irrigation potential through water harvesting structure, Nalla and Check Bundh,
Percolation and Recharge tanks (ii) promoting water use efficiency through sprinkler and drip irrigation; (iii)
promoting protected polyhouse cultivation to minimize risk factors and enhance quality and productivity; (iv)
Improvement of on-farm water delivery and efficiency of existing irrigation systems; (v) promotion of soil
conservation of arable & non-arable land through engineering measures; (vi) increase the forest cover in
the district and (vii) land improvement measures.
Methodology
During the course of preparation of District Irrigation Plan (DIP) the team visited the district to collect data
and have interaction with all the stakeholders. Methodology adopted to prepare DIP is outlined in brief as
under:
a) Collection of primary and secondary data from field from various sources including published
documents and websites.
b) Various meetings were held to obtain ground level realities and data from key
personnel/stakeholders through structured, unstructured interviews, focused group discussions
etc.
c) Meetings with State Government departments and related institutions were held
d) Meeting was also held with State Level authorities.
e) GIS maps of the areas/clusters were studied to understand the land morphology, topography of
the district.
f) Focused group discussions and interaction with agriculture officers, horticulture officers, soil
conservation officers, extension officers, rural development department, animal husbandry
department, irrigation officers both at Talukas anddistrict level for identifying the key issues and
focus areas of the region.

General Information of the District
1.1 District Profile
The district was formed in 1976, after the erstwhile Garo Hills district of Meghalaya was re-organised with a
view to bring the administration closer to the people. The district headquarters-complex of the district,
christened as Williamnagar after the name of Captain ‘Williamson A. Sangma’ the founder Chief Minister
of the State of Meghalaya. Williamnagar is located on the vast plainlands along the bank of the ‘Simsang
River’, at Simsanggre. These plainlands are in a sense historical, as it was here that the Garos made their
last major resistance to the British intrusion into Garo Hills during the year 1837. The legendary Garo
leader Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma was felled by the British, in skirmish, at Chisobibra, quite close to
Wiliamnagar, on 12 December 1837. It is located at the Latitude of 25.5672° Nand Longitude of 90.5258°

1.3 Biomass and Livestock
Livestock is the integral part of the mixed-farming system that characterizes agriculture. Besides
contributing to food and crop production, livestock and poultry are as important as savings. For many poor
households, livestock is a daily source of earning and is an insurance against adversity. Next to Agriculture
and Horticulture, Livestock rearing is an important enterprise of the district. Cows, buffaloes, draft animals,
goats, pigs, poultry are main commodities of livestock enterprise. Cross breed cows, improved breed
buffaloes and upgraded pigs in small numbers are also reared in almost all the blocks of the district. Mostly
the local breeds are common. The total population as per block-wise of small animals (poultry, ducks, pigs,
goats and sheeps), large animals (indigenous cows, hybrid cows, indesciptive buffalo, hybrid buffalo), milch or
meat animals including the draft animals (Buffalos/yak/bulls etc) are collectively presented in Table no. 1-3.

District Water Profile
Water is vital for survival of both plants and animals. It is the central component of the planet Earth
controlling the weather, climate, plant and animal kingdom. It supports agriculture, forestry, navigation,
industries and hydroelectricity generation and other uses such as for recreation, water sports activities etc.
The importance of water has been recognized all over the world. Water resource development and
management practices are given top priorities all over the world to avoid the water crisis in future. This
chapter outlines the different type of crops, productivity and irrigation status of the East Garo Hills district
2.1 Area wise, Crop wise Irrigation Status:
The economy of the district centres on agriculture and piggery and paddy is the predominant commodity
that is cultivated. The district receives around 2897.09 mm rainfall annually, with a major share during the
four months of monsoon (June-September). However, due to lack of proper and sufficient water harvesting
structures, the crops grown under different seasons has to rely on the mercy of rain to realize a good
harvest. The crop wise irrigated and rainfed area sown in different seasons like Kharif, Rabi and Summer in
the district for each block is given in the table 2.1 (a), (b) and (c) below:-

2.2 Production & Productivity of East Hills District
Majority of total population in East Garo Hills district are hilly tribal and they practice agriculture along with
poultry and piggery mostly for subsistence level. Total geographical area of the district is 171500 Ha and of
which 24138 Ha is only cultivable land. Gross irrigated area 21968 Ha. The soils are very rich in organic
matter indicating potential to go for organic farming under proper management practices. Other than rice
and maize, horticultural crops and other seasonal vegetables have tremendous production potentials and
their qualities can compete with world class standards. As those are grown mostly on the hill slopes, they
need irrigation support during the critical stages to ensure optimum quality and productivity to meet the
demand locally as well as outside the state. The crop-wise production and productivity of different types of
crops are given in the table 2.3 below.

CHAPTER 3
WATER AVAILABILITY Water availability is an important issue for ascertaining the demand of water for domestic, livestock, irrigation,
industrial and power generation projects. The water availability depends on topography, climatic conditions,
rainfall, soil profile, infiltration rate, run off and human activities over the catchment area. The changes in the
water levels of the surface source are mainly because of the variations in the inflow from the upper catchments.
The fluctuations constitute a sensitive indicator of past and present climate and human activities at a local and
regional scale. In the hydrological point of view, the entire East West Garo Hills district falls under the
Brahmaputra basin.
3.1 Status of Water Availability
For creating access to water source either assured or protective to each farmer will require a demand and
supply assessment of crop water requirements, effective rainfall and potential source of existing and new water
sources considering the geo-hydrological and agro ecological scenario of the block. The master plan will include
information on all sources of available water, distribution network, defunct water bodies, new potential water
sources both surface and sub surface system, application to conveyance provisions, crops and cropping system
aligned to available/designed quantity of water and suitability to local agro ecology. All activities pertaining to
water harvesting, water augmentation from surface ad sub surface sources, distribution and application of water
including repair, renovation and restoration of water bodies, major, medium and minor irrigation works,
command area development etc. are to be taken up within the frame work of this muster plan. Emphasis is to be
given for deriving the potential benefit from low hanging fruits like extending the reach/coverage of water source
through effective distribution and application mechanism, reducing the gap between potential created and
utilized through more focus on command area development and precision irrigation. Proper integration of
creation of diversion head work and water harvesting structures, distribution system like canals and command
area development works and precision farming is to be made for best possible use of water resources.

3.2 Status of Ground Water Availability
As per Central ground water resource board, major part of the district is covered by hills of consolidated rocks. In the
absence of any ground water structure at present in the mountainous areas, springs constitutes an important source
of water supply. However, mostly the springs are choked due to dirt, orare covered with vegetation. It is worthwhile to
develop these springs. The foothill zone is suitable for the development of ground water through structures like dug
wells, hand pumps and shallow tube wells the piedmont zone is suitable for dug wells, generally 15m deep. The
younger alluvium is suitable for all the shallowground water structures. Dug wells down with depth of 10 to 20m
having diameter 2 to 3 m are expected to yield 12 to 15 m3/day. Shallow tube wells with depth of 25 m are likely to
yield 30 to 35m3/hr.Towards the southern part of the district, bordering Assam, the depth of alluvium increases and
deep tube wells down to 150m may be constructed in this area. Expected yield is 40 to 60 m3/hr.

sectors. The demand for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from different
departments.
The foregoing Chapters deal with the General Profile, Water Profile and Water Availability of East Garo
Hills District. The present chapter deals with the current (2015) and projected (2020) demand of water for
various sectors. The demand for water has been assessed on the basis of data obtained from different
departments.
4.1 Domestic Water Demand
This includes the water requirement in private buildings for drinking, cooking, bathing, lawn sprinkling,
gardening, sanitary purposes etc. The amount of domestic water consumption per person shall vary
according to the living conditions of the consumers. On an average, this domestic consumption under
normal conditions in Indian city is expected to be around 135 litres/day/person as per IS: 1172-1971. In a
developed and an effluent country like USA, this figure goes as high as 340 litres/day/person. This is
because more water is consumed in rich living, air cooling/conditioning, automatic household appliances,
car washing etc. The total domestic consumption generally amounts to 55% to 60% of the total water
consumption.
The total domestic water demand shall be equal to the total design population multiplied by the per capita
domestic consumption i.e. 140 litre/day. As the last population census was made in 2011, the actual
population of the district in 2015 is not readily available. Considering the population of the East Garo Hills
district as per Census, 2011 the projected population in 2020 is worked out assuming the last decadal
growth of 25.84% and annual exponential growth rate of 2.58% to apply for the period 2011-2020 (9 years).
The domestic water demand is given in the table below.

4.2 Crop water Requirement:
Water requirement of a crop means the total quantity and the way in which a crop requires water, from the
time it is sawn to the time it is harvested (crop period). Different crops will have different water requirements
and the same crop may have different water requirements at different places of the same country
depending upon the climate, type of soil, method of cultivation and useful rainfall etc. The total quantity of
water required by the crop for its full growth may be expressed in Hectare-m or in Million Cubic meter or
simply as a depth to which the total supplied irrigation water would stand above the surface without
percolation or evaporation. This depth is known as delta for the crop. On the other hand duty is defined as
the area irrigated per cumec of discharge running for the base period. The duty helps us in designing the
efficient canal irrigation system. If we know the crops area required to be irrigated and their duties, we can
work out the discharge required for designing the canal.
Consumptive use for a particular crop may be defined as the total amount of water used by the plant in
transpiration (building of plant tissues etc.) and evaporation from adjacent soils or from plant leaves, in any
specified time. Therefore, crop water requirements are defined as “the depth of water needed to meet the
water loss through evapo-transpiration of a disease free crop, growing in large fields under non restricting
soil conditions including soil water and fertility and achieving full production under the given growing
environment. Consumptive use for a particular crop may be defined as the total amount of water used by
the plant in transpiration (building of plant tissues etc.) and evaporation from adjacent soils or from plant
leaves, in any specified time. Thus crop water requirement is nothing but the consumptive use itself, but
exclusive of effective precipitation, stored soil moisture or ground water. Consumptive use or
evapotranspiration depends upon all those factors on which evaporation and transpiration depend such as,
temperature, sunlight, wind movement etc. The crop water requirement of different bocks in the East Garo
Hills district has been worked out and a statement is prepared as shown in table 4.2 below which outlines
the required and available water potential in the district.

4.3 Livestock water Demand:
The livestock water demand of the district is determined by multiplying the total livestock population in the
district by the per capita water requirement (litres/day/No) for each category of the population. As per
livestock census of 2003 & 2007 considering the existing population recorded as a base year, the total
projected livestock population in 2020 may be worked out and accordingly the livestock water demand is
worked out. The livestock water demand is given in the table below.

4.4 Industrial Water Requirement
This includes the quantity of water required to be supplied to offices, factories, different industries, hostels,
hospitals etc. This quantity will vary considerably with the nature of city and with the type of industries and
commercial establishments present in it. On an average, a provision of 20-25% of the total water consumption is
generally made in the design for these uses. In small residential communities, the industrial use may be as low
as 45 /litre/day, but in industrial cities, it may be as high as 450 litres/day. Some of the industries may develop
their own supplies and may place little or no demand on municipal system. Zoning of the city affects the location
of the industries and may help in estimating future industrial demands. The industrial water demand for East
Garo Hills district is given in table below:-

4.5 Water demand for Power generation:
Presently there is no any power plant in the East Garo Hills district; however in the years to come i.e. up to the
year 2020, there are plans to tap water resources for power generation. Hence water demand for power
generation is taken as nil for present but the same for 2020 is as shown in the table below.

4.7 Water Budget
A water budget reflects the relationship between input and output of water through a region. Thus we have
a direct comparison of supply of water and the natural demand for water. The details of the District-wise
Water Budget of the district is given in Table.4.7.

Chapter 5
STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN The vision of the scheme PMKSY is to ensure access to some means of protective irrigation to all
agricultural farms in the country, to increase water use efficiency by its ‘per drop more crop’ subcomponent,
thus bringing much desired rural prosperity. The need of the hour is to have well managed watershed
resources which not only enhances the ecological resource base of a rural economy but will also create
sustainable livelihood opportunity.
At present, the schemes implemented by all the departments are broadlybased and are required to be
specific and location/ problem based. A systematic integrated approach having full participation of the users
in the planning process is the need of the hour and extension facilitation should be inter-disciplinary. On the
basis of methodology described above, a strategic plan forFiveyears has been prepared starting from 2016-
17 to 2019-21.
The schemes have been prepared by the proper consultation with the actual beneficiaries. The plan in brief
is detailed below.
5.1 Block wise total plan of the district
The total outlay of the district Irrigation Plan for a period of 4years is about Rs. 12214.9835 lakh distributed
among the 03 blocks as given in the table 5.1 below. The Dambo-Rongjeng block has the maximum share
of total outlay and constitutes about 40% followed by Samanda block with 34% and Songsak block with
26% as well. Table 5.1: Block-wise total Outlay of the District (Amount in Rs. Lakhs)

5.3. Component-wise Action Plan
As discussed above about various components of PMKSY, the plan is prepared accordingly.
Table 5-3 (a) shows component wise plan for all blocks starting from 2016-17 to 2019-20. Har Khet Ko Pani
(HKKP) component has a total proposal of Rs. 8643.539 lakhs in the District. This component will be
mainly executed by Water Resources department and Agriculture Department. Per Drop More Crop
(PDMC) components is of Rs. 38.4545 lakhs, which will be executed mainly by Agriculture, Horticulture
departments. Watershed component has a total proposal of Rs. 3532.99 lakhs which will be implemented
by Soil Conservation department. All the stakeholders need to have coordination among themselves to
have the maximum irrigation efficiency and to avoid duplicity.

5.4 Suggestions
For successful implementation of PMKSY plan it is suggested that:
All the stakeholders should convene meeting of Panchayat Samities and then finalize the village
plan and prepare DPR.
There should not be any duplicity of project.
The Department should supplement each other so that the maximum irrigation efficiency is
achieved.
Agriculture and Horticulture Department should take micro irrigation projects in the command of
minor irrigation projects which are either completed or likely to be completed in near future.
All the irrigation projects should have a component of water conveyance so that the each drop of
water is judiciously utilized.
Where ever feasible, solar pumpsets should be installed.
All the structures planned should be geo tagged and marked on map, so that social monitoring of
the projects can be conducted. This will also avoid the duplicity.
Priority should be given to projects to minimize the gap in potential created and potential utilized.
Wherever sites with low head LIS have already been exhausted, higher per hectare norms should
be allowed.
Execution of the scheme should be expeditiously completed.
There should be smooth fund flow for timely completion of the project and to avoid cost escalation.
