That’s why the role of creating knowledge and dissemination of knowledge is very important. This could be achieved through traditional media like street plays and pad-yatra as also the modern media like radio programmes and video films.

Participatory Irrigation Management
Get Latest Price
Pilot projects in Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) have demonstrated that many of these problems, if not all, can be reduced if active participation of farmers is encouraged in all aspects of the development and management of irrigation. Under PIM, some of the important irrigation management responsibilities in government owned irrigation projects are transferred to farmers' water users associations.
The support service of DSC in PIM focuses on building farmers' organizations at village as well as project levels and enhancing their capacity through various means such as training and community organizing. Moreover, DSC helps sensitize the staff of Irrigation Department to participatory processes.
DSC is playing a pivotal role in promoting PIM in Gujarat as well as in the country. DSC is providing policy support to the various state Governments and the Central Government for wider adoption of participatory approach to irrigation management.
DSC is involved in direct implementation of the Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) programme in 56800 hectare of 1 major and 2 medium irrigation projects of North Gujarat . DSC is also in process of implementing Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) in 5000 hectare of Sardar Sarovar Project ( Narmada Project ) to serve as pilot project in implementing Participatory Irrigation Management its 18 lac hectare. DSC is probably the biggest NGO in India working in irrigation sector.

Agricultural Productivity Enhancement
Get Latest Price
After augmenting natural resource management through watershed and PIM programmes, DSC initiated agriculture based livelihood enhancement programme in six field units in Gujarat in 2007 in order to further enhance agricultural income.
The areas where LEPNRM is being implemented include Dharoi (Visnagar, Vadnagar, Kheralu and Satlasna talukas of Mehsana district), Guhai (Himmatnagar taluka of Sabarkantha district), Mazum (Modasa taluka of Sabarkantha district), Meghraj (Meghraj taluka of Sabarkantha district), Vehlal (Dehgam taluka of Ahmedabad district) and Dhari (Dhari Taluka of Amreli district) covering more than 180 villages and about 45,000 households. The project focuses on following five main components of agriculture enhancement; reducing cost, mitigating risk, increasing productivity, value addition and market linkages with an aim to increase incomes of farmers especially those that are small and marginal. Some of the notable project achievements during the year are given below:
Vermi compost production through entrepreneurship model
DSC has been promoting vermi compost to help farmers maintain soil health. In the last three years alone, more than 100 farmers have started preparing vermi compost. However there is a huge gap between the demand and supply of vermi compost in the market. In order to address this issue, the Dharoi and Guhai field units decided to organize women into groups and encourage them to start large scale production of vermi compost following a business/entrepreneurship model that would ensure regular income to the women. Till now, two women groups of Kesimpa and Dedasan villages have been facilitated for the preparation and sale of vermi compost. The two groups have invested Rs. 1.71 lakhs out of which the project shared Rs. 1.35 lakhs and the members contributed Rs. 36,000 in cash. The initiative is expected to produce about 312 tons compost from 52 beds @ 6 tons production from per bed. The estimated gross income per year by selling ready compost is Rs. 9.36 lakhs @ Rs. 3,000 per ton, which should enable the business to break-even within a year.
Introduction of high value variety of wheat - “Sharbati Gehun”
Wheat is the major food crop of the project area and is planted by nearly all the small and marginal farmers during rabi season. For the first time, Gujarat farmers planted Sharbati variety of wheat which is traditionally grown in MP. This variety fetches a higher market price in Gujarat in the name of “Sharbati Gehun”. Raising this crop also makes economic sense since it requires only 2-3 waterings compared to local varieties that need 6-7 waterings. The production of this variety is in the range of 40-50 quintals/ha with its market price ranging between Rs. 17-23 per kg depending on the quality of the grain.
