employment given under MNREGS but it does not suffice to lead a satisfactory life<br />

conditions for entire family for the entire period <strong>of</strong> a year. In such a forcing situation some<br />

people having skills in masonry works prefer to migrate into nearby towns to have better<br />

earnings.<br />

The socio economic conditions <strong>of</strong> the area can be improved through increased<br />

production which can be achieved through expansion in cultivated area <strong>and</strong> productivity<br />

enhancement. 1624 ha l<strong>and</strong> is arable wastel<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> 744 ha is fallow can be brought under<br />

cultivation with the interventions <strong>of</strong> the present project. The productivity <strong>of</strong> rain fed<br />

agriculture can be improved with interventions <strong>of</strong> soil <strong>and</strong> water conservation activities<br />

with improved moisture regime. The crops can be rescheduled imparting needful trainings<br />

to farmers to adopt the proven technologies <strong>and</strong> package <strong>of</strong> practices. The cropping<br />

pattern as enormous possibilities to improved to attain a fair increment in productivity.<br />

There is no significant source <strong>of</strong> irrigation in project area, only small areas are<br />

irrigated with Tubewells <strong>and</strong> with efforts this can be increased to 18%. The productivity<br />

gap <strong>of</strong> major crops in the area as compared with district <strong>and</strong> with areas in the same agro<br />

climatic zones indicate potential to increase the productivity. The demonstration <strong>of</strong><br />

improved package <strong>of</strong> practices, improved varieties, increased irrigation facilities <strong>and</strong> soil<br />

conservation measures under the project can bridge this gap. Due to small l<strong>and</strong> holdings in<br />

the area focus <strong>of</strong> the project would be on diversification in agriculture (horticulture,<br />

vegetables, green houses, Agro forestry, fodder crops <strong>and</strong> diversification in Livelihoods<br />

(Agriculture, Animal husb<strong>and</strong>ry, self employment) 5578 MT/year fodder scarcity can be<br />

met out through Pasture development <strong>and</strong> improving seed varieties, putting more are<br />

under fodder cultivation, fodder treatment <strong>and</strong> value addition to it, etc.<br />

Improved animal Husb<strong>and</strong>ry practices can increase the productivity <strong>of</strong> livestock.<br />

The quality <strong>of</strong> animals can be improved by controlling population <strong>of</strong> stray animals adopting<br />

castration <strong>of</strong> male animals those are <strong>of</strong> local breeds. Breed improvement can be achieved<br />

through artificial inseminations, by distribution <strong>of</strong> bulls, rams <strong>of</strong> improved breed. The<br />
