STRATEGIES
The conon Gudeines for Watershed Derelopment provide for a unifom strategy in the implementation
of all area developnent prograrnmes. The main features of this strategy are 1. To increase in employment avenues.
Area dereiopment programmes to be implemented excusively on watershed basis. 2. To increase product1ve assets to lessen the effect of drought.
Progtarnme actirities to be confined to the identified watershed of about 500 hectares and to be executed on
projtct basis sparning a penod of four to ive years. 3. To increase the fertility of land and productivity of labour.
4. To introduce telief operations in terms of irtigation projects.
Watershed project to be, as far as possible, co-teminus with village boundary.
Drect particpaton of the peopie in plann1ng and derelopment of watershed areas and maintenance of assets 5. To start a programme of afforestation, gassland developrnent and rural electnifcation etc.
