Abstract:

Vaggampalli Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) watershed project was implemented from 2011-2018 with treatable area of 4644 hectares covering four micro watersheds. This paper discuss the impact of watershed interventions on bio-physical, hydrological, agricultural and socio-economic indicators. Changes were detected in land use for agriculture crops, water body coverage and area under very good soil moisture. Ground water table and crop productivity were improved.  Migration of workers from rural to urban areas was declined.The mean gross income of households was increased. Overall, the watershed interventions provided resilience by ensuring sustainable multiple outputs, besides soil and water conservation.
