WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMME (WDP)
Improve and sustain productivity and production
potentials of the dry/semi-arid regions of India
through adoption of appropriate production and
conservation technologies.
Meet the needs of local rural communities for
food, fuel, fodder and timber. Improve all types
of lands, i.e., Government, Forest, Community
and Private Lands falling within a watershed.
WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMME (WDP)
WDPs, in short: A holistic approach to improve and
develop the economic and natural resource base
of dry/semi-arid/fragile regions. In a watershed
development program the watershed is the unit
for development rather than political or
administrative boundaries
WDP Activities
• i)Land Development: Levelling and
terracing, improving soil quality and
productivity; and watershed reclamation.
• ii)Water Development: Promote in situ water
harvesting and conservation, establish
percolation ponds and open
wells, tanks, small reservoirs, and improving
water quality.
WDP Activities
• iii)Enterprises/Activities: Evolve appropriate
farming systems, encourage a crop mix of
high value/high yield crops, social/agro-
forestry, other income-generating activities
like dairying, poultry-keeping, etc.
Some Illustrations of Benefits of
WDPs
• -Replacing seasonal/annual crops with agro-
silvi, agrohorti, silvi-horti; systems on hill
slopes/degraded lands. Benefits: reduce soil
erosion; arrest surface run-offs.
• -Training water to store excess water run-offs in
farm ponds/percolation tanks. Benefits: improve
groundwater recharge.
• -Construction of earthen or vegetative bunds or
barriers to surface run-offs in a watershed.
Benefits: help in moisture conservation.

MGNREGA
• 'National Rural Employment Guarantee Act'2005 (NREGA)
• Act guarantees 100 days of employment in a financial year to
every household
• a social safety net for the vulnerable groups and an
opportunity to combine growth with equity
• Structured towards harnessing the rural work-force, not as
recipients of doles, but as productive partners in our
economic process
• assets created result in sustained employment for the area for
future growth employment and self-sufficiency
• Operationalised from 2nd February, 2006 in 200 selected
districts, extended to 130 more districts in 2007-08.
• The remaining districts (around 275) of the country under the
ambit of NREGA from 1st of April, 2008
Agriculture
• India ‘s population is 1.21 billion in 2011. 67% are rural.
Majority are in agriculture.
• Importance of agriculture in Indian economy. Although it
contributes only 15% of GDP, the share of workers is about
55%.
• Marginal and small farmers dominate
• Major crops are rice, wheat, maize, coarse
cereals, groundnut, cotton, sugarcane, fruits and vegetables
• 60% of cultivated area is rainfed as only 40% of area is
under irrigation.
• Rural poverty is 41%in 2004-05.
• Agriculture is a ‘State Subject’. In other words, the policies
of provinces are also important

Biocharculture
Biocharculture is the process of using Biochar,
including cultivation of crops
• Biochar is the charcoal produced from carbonaceous source
material. Sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in terrestrial
ecosystems
• Biocharculture is one of the means to integrate for sustainable
cultivation and carbon sequestration.
• Biochar is usually produced at around temperatures 300 to 600
degrees centigrade for example as found in the common biomass
cook stoves.
• Because of its macromolecular structure dominated by aromatic
C, Biochar is more recalcitrant to microbial decomposition than
uncharred organic matter
