District Watershed <strong>Development</strong> Unit - Jamnagar<br />

Watershed <strong>Development</strong> Programme is selected on the basis <strong>of</strong> thirteen parameter namely Poverty Index, Percentage <strong>of</strong> SC/ST, Actual<br />

wages, Percentage <strong>of</strong> small and marginal farmers, Ground water status, Moisture Index, Area under rainfed agriculture, Drinking water situation<br />

in the area, Percentage <strong>of</strong> the degraded land, Productivity potential <strong>of</strong> the land, continuity <strong>of</strong> another watershed that has already<br />

developed/treated, Cluster Approach for hilly terrain. Based on these thirteen parameter a composite ranking was been given to Patan project as<br />

given in table no. 3.<br />

The total number <strong>of</strong> families under BPL is 574, which is less than 20 per cent <strong>of</strong> total households <strong>of</strong> the villages. Hence a score <strong>of</strong> 2.5 is<br />

allotted. The percentage <strong>of</strong> schedule castes in the village is about 10 per cent to the total population; hence a score <strong>of</strong> 5 is allotted.<br />

Rain fed agriculture forms the primary occupation <strong>of</strong> the village due to the fact that ground water is saline and hence unfit for usage. More<br />

than 60 per cent <strong>of</strong> the farmers are small and marginal by nature and the actual wages earned by the labour is less than the minimum wages hence<br />

a composite rank <strong>of</strong> 5, 3 and 5 are allotted respectively.<br />

Since the rainfall received is erratic and irregular, the moisture index is low and the area is classified under DDP block. Drinking water is<br />

problematic in the village. Majority <strong>of</strong> land is degraded due to inherent rainfall and due to no soil conservation structures in the project area. The<br />

soil is very permeable and production <strong>of</strong> the land can be significantly enriched with the availability <strong>of</strong> timely irrigation.<br />

Area proposed to be treated<br />
