Figure 3. Relations Among Variables Affecting JMCs<br />

The major activities starting from the pre-participatory management situation Include<br />

following:<br />

1. Seasonal Planning<br />

Seasonal planning is to be carried out by the JMCs instead of Kanna meetings. The<br />

basic idea is that, by using representatives of the farmers, instead of farmers themselves, the<br />

number can be made manageable so that farmers can have effective participation in seasonal<br />

planning decisions.<br />

2. Operations Planning<br />

Under participatory management, operations planning is still carried out primarily by<br />

<strong>Irrigation</strong> Department or MEA engineers. However, the JMCs can discuss operations plans<br />

and set out basic parameters <strong>for</strong> the plans.
