2. Background:
• Possible reasons for rural agrarian economy but traditional and subsistence farming are:
Undulating and hilly terrain with high rainfall causes soil erosion
Drought in many parts of the area due to less storage, high runoff and poor
land and water management practices.
Rain-fed and monocropped agriculture
• About 60% of the geographical area is under agriculture and Irrigation coverage is
between 20 to 30% of the net sown area, possible reasons are:
Limited scope for large and medium irrigation projects
Diesel engine based lift irrigation is prohibitive for poor
Electricity-based systems are not feasible due to erratic supply of electricity in
rural area
• Untapped seasonal and perennial streams has many dispersed sites for diverting stream
water for irrigation purpose.
• DBI came out as a tested and replicable technology which has a huge potential of scaling
up in different developmental and Govt. run programmes.

6. Execute 26 DBI schemes benefiting 516 no. of families through
irrigation in 158.4ha of land in Khariff , 73.5 ha of land in Rabi and
36.5ha in Zaid in 5 districts of Odisha.
Introduction of advanced cropping practices (HYV, Intercropping,
IPM etc. ) in the command area resulted in enhancing the crop yield
Formation of 3Water Users’ Association (WUA) for management
and monitoring.
Empowered rural community with enhanced ability to deal with the
mainstream
Reduction of distressed migration from the project villages.

7. Drudgery on women in carrying water is minimized. (Saving time
resulted in quality life.)
Villages has attracted other Government projects because of the
scheme.
Villagers are now practicing two crops in a year.
Shift from traditional cereal crops to cash crops.
Brings unity and mutual help among the community.
Enhanced skill level among people in pipe fitting and maintenance
of the system

8. Case Study-1
• Sapita dandia of Digipadi village of Jay maa Sontoshi SHG belongs to a middle class family,
• She was good farmer but due to lack of assured irrigation for vegetable cultivation, she was
not getting any desired income
• In 2009-10 flow irrigation installed in their village and investment was around Rs16,000
• she constructed a 30 x 40 model on her up land with the help of INRM under MGNREGA. The
up landed measured 50 decimals..
• The data speaks:
Sl No Types of vegetable Amount
1 Brinjal Rs. 10000
2 Tomato Rs. 25000
3 Beans Rs. 10000
4 Bitter gourd Rs. 17000
5 Potato Rs. 2000
6 Pea Rs. 4000
7 Total Rs. 68000
• she purchased a new agriculture land and got her daughter married and repaid the loan at
SBI.

9. Case study-2 (Lemarpadar)
•The middle family have bank account but not saving
• Before: •In Self help group not saving properly
•family kept mortgaged their land to sahookar during the time of marriage, health
problem and festival. Family had not returned their land because of the high interest
of the loan.
•Youth people were migrated to Dellhi, Mumbai, Bhubaneswar etc.
•The middle and rich families are saving
• Rs. 5000 to Rs. 7000 in respective bank
After:-
account
•Women members are regularly saving in
SHG and Jaya Maa sontoshi self help
group have taken loan Rs. 50000 from
the SBI for Tentuli business.
Implementation of Poor Middle Well off •Youth migration reduced and also land
the project
Before Rs. 15000 Rs. 30000 Rs.50000 mortgaged.
After Rs.28000 Rs. 45000 Rs. 65000 •Five to ten families have started making
12/21/12
their new house
10. Livelihood
• Before:-
• The village main source income was agriculture, most family having 2 acre land
• But due to poor access to irrigation system (during the time of paddy flowering), which was
giving less agriculture production, so that they always depended on NTFP and labour.
After:-
• After flow implementation, the project has putting the people towards agriculture and
vegetable cultivation, to using the technical method as SRI
• 4 Poly house nursery are constructed and the owners got around Rs 5000 income in one
season by selling vegetable seedlings

Fund:
• NREGA
• OTELP
• IAP
• ATMA
Support:
• Preferences for DBI under MI schemes

16. Way forward….
• Many more such initiatives to saturate irrigation potential in
the plateau and hilly regions
• With proper head difference hydroelectricity can also be
generated as pico-micro hydroelectricity project
• Influening major policies to include DBI as a irrigation project
at central and state level
