DBIS as Project in 5 states
Implemented in 145 villages of 7 districts across 5 states (Eastern-Orissa & Jharkhand and North- Eastern - Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura)
Co - partners: 8 in Odisha, 3 in Jharkhand and 3 in NE.

Performance 4816 Household has been benefitted from assured irrigation.
Provide irrigation to ◦ 4242 acre in Kharif;
◦ 697 acres in Rabi; and
◦ 636 acres in summer.
Training on improved agricultural practices has enhanced the paddy cultivation (including SRI);
Strengthening of community based organization ensures maintenance of DBIS along with equitable distribution of water at village level;
Drinking water in many villages and schools improves health and hygiene status of the children and households.
Performance 4242 acres of land has brought under assured irrigation
that helps in improving land condition
All the constructions under the project are environment friendly supporting local ecology.
Practice of the soil and water conservation measures, the natural resources of each of the project villages are conserved and restored.
Organic Farmers Club formed in Meghalaya started practicing organic agriculture as a sustainable agricultural practice in project villages.
More than 100 farmers have started preparing vermin compost.
InnovationsIntroduction of improved agricultural practicesPractices like SRI, mixed farming, Organic farming, crop rotation and dry land faming, enable tribal farmers to grow successful crops for food security
Water to SchoolsProviding water in the village school has improved the hygiene practices among the children.
Water distribution systemCapacity building the communities on water distributing mechanism has reduced the percolation as well as evaporation of water inlet to the agricultural field.
O&M of DBI structureWater user groups/ associations are maintaining the DBI structures, that has supported the famers to grow successful crop in both the seasons.
Crop PlanningCrop plans has developed in many villages after getting assured water for irrigation. During the Khariff season Farmers take up agriculture activities as usual practices, but for Rabi season farmers focus on vegetables, cash crops and oil seeds as per the crop diversification planning. Line transplantation with support of Agriculture department is introduced in few villages.In the selected villages, where community participation were utmost., the attempted innovations are successful in terms of improving food production.
Challenges
All project locations are remotely located
Presence of insurgency and difficult to manage project
activities on time
Extreme weather conditions particularly in North-Eastern
States
Stress on farmers contribution in terms of cash or labour
Frequent turn-over of staffs from the projects
Leveraging for DBI (Scope)
Collaborating traditional knowledge with new technologyDBI uses the traditional knowledge of the people in collaboration with the new technology, that support communities to avail water for irrigation as well as for drinking purposes. Proper use of water sourcesMany water sources in the villages are lying useless or with little use and with little efforts water from these sources are diverted into agricultural fields.Crop Planning for additional incomeAfter getting assured water for irrigation, separate crop planning with focus on crop diversification for Khariff and Rabi seasons improves the soil health as well as additional income of the farming communities. Adaptation to climate changeDBI provides irrigation solution, when impact of climate change affecting water resources and can be an promoted as an adaptation option to climate change. Integrate DBIS with MGNREGA (Meghalaya, Jharkahand) and other donor funded agriculture program (Orissa, Assam, Meghalaya and Jharkahand)
RecommendationsComponent Present Practice Suggestion
Distribution Mechanism
Commonly through pipes, mud drains or flooding.
Hinders optimum utilization of water, as evaporation & percolation of water occur while distribution.
Improved distribution mechanism that enables farmers for proper utilization of water for the purpose which it diverted.
Equitable distribution of water
Adoption of ad-hoc water sharing mechanism (when lack of water to cover whole catchments)
Institutionalization and capacity building of CBOs on water sharing mechanism
Water Quality Testing
No water quality testing support negatively affects to human and crops.
Water testing for wider acceptance of water among communities along with awareness on water quality issues.
Source Sustainability
Lack of appropriate measures for substantiality of sources renovated or constructed for diversion of water to agricultural lands
Proper soil and water management components in the catchments
Capacity building of farmers Demonstration of soil and water
conservation measures
Capacity building on crop diversification
Usually practising traditional crop.
Lack of capacity of the farmer on crop diversification ultimately affects soil health and income of the farmers.
Capacity building and agro input support, as due to lack of awareness towards modern agro practices the yield is very less as compared to the land quality.
Capacity building on adopting water saving crops.
