Socio-economic ContextSocio-economic Context
• India is 10th largest by Nominal GDP (IMF, 2011)
• 3 rd largest by purchasing power parity (PPP)• Ranks 140th by GDP and 129th by PPP• Agriculture sector constitutes only 7.8% of GDP• 50% of the work force engaged in Agriculture• About two-thirds of the agriculture is rain-fed• Drought seriously affects rain-fed agriculture• 60% Irrigated Agriculture is groundwater based

Socio-economic ContextSocio-economic Context
• The United Nations World Water Development Report (2003) states that, in India: – 69 percent of people in non-irrigated areas are poor– in irrigated areas this figure falls to 2 percent • In India, 76 percent of operational landholdings are
small (2 ha or less)• Therefore, poor in India are represented by: • Smallholders with no irrigation source• Landless agriculture workers

Genesis of the projectGenesis of the project
• 1995-2003: APWELL project provided bore-well irrigation facility to 3,500 smallholders
• 2000: Sustenance of wells became a major concern• 2000: Participatory Hydrological Monitoring Pilot• 2001: Crop Water Budgeting• 2004-2009: APFAMGS Project• 2010: Strategic Pilot on Adaptation to Climate Change• 2012: The approach adopted in the Twelfth National
Five Year Plan (2013-2017)1/12/2012 S V Govardhan Das 4
