ASSAM-RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
CREDIT AND PROJECT SUMMARY
Borrower: India, Acting by its President
Executing Agency: Government of Assam (GOA) through theDepartments of Agriculture, Public Works,Fisheries, Irrigation, Animal Husbandry andVeterinary, and Assam State AgriculturalUniversity.
Amount: IDA Credit of SDR 81.0 million (US$126.0 millionequivalent).
Terms: Standard with 35 years maturity.
On-lending Terms: Government of India (GOI) would make theproceeds of the credit available to GOA underits prevailing terms and conditions. GOI wouldassume the foreign exchange risk.
Poverty Categorv: Program of Targeted Interventions. The projectaims to benefit the poorest section of the ruralpopulation in the State of Assam by offeringbetter income enhancement opportunities topoorer farmers, and particularly to women, andto improve their nutritional status. Theproject contains specific mechanisms fortargeting these groups. The project alsoincorporates specific measures to ensurebeneficiaries' participation in the selection oflocation and implementation of activitiessupported under the project.
Project Obiectives: The primary objectives of the project would beto (a) improve equity and alleviate poverty byoffering better opportunities for poorer farmersand women to contribute to agricultural growthand income generation; (b) improve the nutritionof the rural poor; (c) accelerate agriculturalgrowth through improved use of resources,relieving infrastructural and technicalconstraints, and providing an enablingenvironment to facilitate the growth of privatesector investments; (d) encourage sustainabilityof resource use and quality of the environment;and (e) improve the GOA's long-term capacity forstrategic agricultural planning. An attemptwould be made to balance its policy reformobjectives with poverty alleviation goalsthrough careful targeting of beneficiaries.

Proiect DescriDtion: The project is intended to benefit the poorestsegments of the rural population. To achievethis objective, the project would support: (a)the Department of Agriculture's work program,including the extension services forhorticulture, fisheries, and livestock to poorrural communities aimed at increasing theirproduction; (b) institutional development(technology generation and extension, seedmultiplication and land administration, andplanning and coordination); and (c) ruralinfrastructure (small scale irrigation and ruralroads). Project components would also include anumber of studies considered necessary forimproving the use of natural resources (soil andwater management) and the marketing of highlyperishable horticultural products. The proposedproject would be implemented in eight yearsstarting in 1995/96 and would include a packageof state-specific policy reforms agreed to bythe Bank and formally approved by the GOA.
Risks: The project faces four major risks:
Fundinct. Poor budgetary support could slow downimplementation. To minimize the risk, the GOAwould submit an annual budget and commit itselfto improve cost recovery and establish adequatefinancial control measures that would bemonitored during project implementation.Funding needed for O&M would be theresponsibility of the beneficiaries. Pace ofimplementation, quality of construction, anddelivery of services would be monitored by localNGOs and reported to concerned agencies everysix months.
Policy Reform and Commitment. Timely andeffective implementation and adherence by theGOA to the agreed policy reforms are crucial tothe success of the project. To minimize therisk, tangible proof of readiness to implementthe reforms has already been demonstrated in thepreparation of the state agricultural strategypaper and the steps already taken to implementthe items described in the policy matrix.Implementation of policy reforms would bereflected in the GOA's annual work plans andbudgets for Bank review. There would be closeBank supervision to ensure that dated covenantsassociated with the reforms are met. Despitethe built-in safeguard*, however, implementation
-iii-
of policy reform could be delayed or evenmodified due to political events. Generalelections will be held in 1996, and thepolitical scenario in the country is changingfast. Announcements of populistic measuresinvolving hand-outs from public funds areincreasing markedly. It would be unrealistic toexpect that Assam would not be influenced bythis political trend.
Institutional Capacity. The success of theproject depends on active participation of localand national NGOs. There is the risk that suchparticipation may be slow to materialize, andgovernment bureaucracy may delay the transfer ofnew assets to the farming communities. Also,institutional weakness could pose risks forproject implementation. Quality of works(construction and maintenance of rural roads)could suffer from inadequate staffing,supervision, and standard enforcement. Toenhance quality of construction, the projectwould provide technical assistance to train andmotivate staff.
Securit . The security situation in Assam maydelay field visits, implementation, and timelysupervision and monitoring. Project activitiesand investment programs would be restricted toareas where security problems are minimal.Active involvement of beneficiaries (FMCs, WUA,etc) in the decision-making process and theirownership of the project should reduce thesecurity risk.
With GOA's commitment and demonstrated support,and with built-in safeguards for sustainingoperations, the project has a chance ofsucceeding.

I. BACKGROUND
The Economy and Agriculture of India
1.1 In 1991 the Government of India (GOI) started to liberalize thecountry's economy with a reform program focused on the investment regime,trade policies, financial sector, public enterprises, and taxation. Theeconomy has responded positively to the stabilization and reform measuresimplemented, but macroeconomic stress brought about by the reform programposes new challenges for policy. Growth recovered from 2% per year, in1991/92 to around 4% per year in 1993/94. Details of the macroeconomicperformance are described in the Bank Report "Recent Economic Developments andProspects for India (Report No. 12940-IN)" of May 27, 1994.
1.2 Agricultural growth has averaged 2.6% per annum over the last twodecades, slightly above the population growth rate of 2.1%. Despitecomparatively modest growth, agriculture remains important to the Indianeconomy. Though agriculture's share of GDP is only about 35%, a largepercentage of India's population of 880 million is dependent on the sector.About 75% of India's people live in rural areas, and about 64% are directlyemployed in agriculture.
1.3 Though the performance of the agricultural sector has improved overthe same period (for example, through increased exports), there remain long-standing issues facing the development of agriculture in India. Withoutbroad-ranging reforms, the prospects for accelerated, sustainable, andequitable growth are not encouraging. Some contributing factors for theinadequate performance of the agricultural sector, some of which were broughtout in the Bank's recent public expenditure review, include excessiveexpenditures for subsidies on inputs and outputs, low levels of cost recoveryfor services provided by government, restrictions on both domestic andexternal trade, and the weak structure of the rural credit system.
1.4 Public expenditures on agriculture have been increasing at about 5%per year in real terms, with the recurrent component increasing at about 8%and the capital formation component declining by about 2%. These trends,evident at both the central and the state level, are unsustainable and havebecome worse over the past five years. The challenge for the future is toaccelerate growth by improving the technical, financial, and economicefficiencies in the sector while paying greater attention to the equityaspects of development, the sustainability of the production base, and thepreservation of the environment.
1.5 Although public expenditures have been instrumental in facilitatingagricultural growth, Indian agriculture is at a critical stage. Gains in theagricultural sector have not been sufficiently large to alleviate povertyamong the growing population. The challenge is to increase the growth rate ofproduction to support population growth and raise living standards. Thisrequires a critical reevaluation of the composition of public expenditure andthe efficiency of allocation.

Maior Issues Affectinc Acricultural Performance
1.6 Inadeauate Economic Liberalization. The incomplete liberalizationof the trade regime, in particular for consumer goods, continues todiscriminate against agriculture by depressing farmers' incentives to investand produce. Within agriculture, government price controls, marketinterventions, and trade regulations restrict growth opportunities.
1.7 Central and State government. Although the broad economicenvironment is under the control of the central government, the constitutionassigns responsibility for agriculture to the states. The central governmentfinances about 40% of agricultural expenditure at the state level but does notinfluence the composition of the states' public expenditures. As a result ofthis shared responsibility, any reform process becomes difficult to implement.
1.8 Sustainabilitv Effects. Distortions in the incentive structure andmanagement weakness not only reduce growth but also threaten its long-termsustainability. The two main issues are (a) over-exploitation and inefficientuse of the natural resource base induced by pricing distortions, such asunderpricing of water and power, and (b) poor operation and maintenance ofirrigation and other infrastructure.
1.9 Major land and water resources in India have been developed andutilized. Future growth must depend largely on intensified production (onboth irrigated and rainfed land), crop diversification and increasedefficiency.
The GOI's Agricultural Strateov
1.10 The GOI's long-term strategy is to stimulate agricultural growthand promote rural development through improved water and land management,enhanced efficiency of irrigation and drainage networks, strengthened researchservices, increased attention to environmental protection, and improved ruralinfrastructure. Investment programs to address these elements and toreestablish growth are assigned a high priority in the Eighth Five-Year Plan(1992/97) of the GOI and state governments. The Plan also emphasizesequitable distribution of the benefits of growth and sustainability of theresource base.
1.11 According to the Plan, increasing public support for agriculturewould focus on horticulture, livestock, fisheries, and sericulture. The planaims at infusing new dynamism through redirecting public investments ininfrastructural development and promoting private investment in theagricultural sector. The Plan gives priority to improving rainfed agriculturethrough diversification, creating incentives for exports, increasing the roleof the private sector, enhancing the effectiveness of the safety net programs,and using natural resources in a sustainable manner.

The State of Assam
1.12 Assam, the largest of seven northeastern states, is among thepoorest in the country. About 60% of the rural population have incomes belowthe official poverty line of Rs 7,800 (US$240) per household per year. TheState covers an area of 78,000 sq km, of which 34,000 sq km (44%) arecultivable; the remainder is under forest or uncultivable. The State mainlycomprises the valley of the Brahmaputra River, stretching from the Himalayanfoothills in the northeast to its entry into Bangladesh in the southwest.There are three main regions: the flat, rice-dominated valley bottom; thefoothill areas, which to the north and east are largely under tea cultivation;and the less prosperous, hilly tracts to the south bordering the states ofMeghalaya and Nagaland.
1.13 The population of Assam is estimated at 22.3 million, with a growthrate of 3.6% per year, compared to 2.7% for all India. The most strikingfeature is the growing unemployment among educated youths, estimated at almost60%. Even for those with steady incomes from employment, wages have beendeclining in real terms over the last 20 years. Minimum wages in Assamaverage Rs 15 per day compared with Rs 23 to 25 per day in other states suchas Haryana, Punjab, and Manipur.
Agriculture in Assam: Constraints and Potential
1.14 Rainfall in Assam averages over 2,000 mm per year, permittingdouble-cropping in many areas. The state suffers from frequent floods, soilerosion, and low cropping intensity. Surface and groundwater resources areabundant but have not been exploited fully. Despite good water resources, theaverage yield of rice, the dominant crop, is only 1,150 kg per hectare, wellbelow the national average of 1,500 kg per ha. Where irrigation facilitiesexist, higher yields can and are being obtained from the dry season rice crop.There is considerable potential for agricultural growth by increasing croppingintensity, raising rice yields, and diversifying into higher-value activitiessuch as horticulture, fisheries, and dairy production.
1.15 Issues affecting agricultural growth in the state include:
(a) poorly developed input supply services;
(b) inadequacy of groundwater development;
(c) poorly developed rural infrastructure (e.g., rural roads,marketing, electrification, and communications);
(d) problems of flood management and drainage in flood-prone areas; and
(e) failure to tailor agricultural research and technology transfer tolocal conditions.
-4-
1.16 The poor performance of the agricultural sector in the State ispartly caused by a low level of fertilizer use, poor quality seed, inadequateuse of conjunctive irrigation with high rainfall, small and fragmented landholdings, absence of rural credit, and deficiencies in research and extensionservices. Government policies have traditionally promoted public sectorcontrol of input distribution, reduce direct public expenditure for capitalformation in the agricultural sector, restrict private sector involvement inthe provision of essential goods and services, subsidize inefficient publiccorporations, and distort competition. Resources for operation andmaintenance of public infrastructure, including irrigation and drainage, ruralroads, and power generating units, have routinely been inadequate.
1.17 Intensification and diversification of agriculture are essentialfor accelerating growth in Assam. This shift requires a strategic approach toincrease productivity and minimize crop losses that distributes risk andencourages small farmers to respond to changes in market and productiontechnology. The average farm size of 1.3 hectares is the smallest in thecountry and declining. These small land holdings are fragmented further into3 to 4 parcels, making them uneconomic units to support the average family offive. Land consolidation should encourage intensification of agriculture inthe large flood-free areas, on the recharged aquifers, in perennial streamsand rivulets, and in the vast low-lying areas with adequate residual moistureto raise early-maturing second crops. Successful intensification wouldrequire revamped agricultural research and extension services, staff training,infrastructure development, and a supportive policy environment.
1.18 In the period 1984/94 rice production in the state increased by anaverage of 4t annually, partly due to area expansion (from 2.3 to 2.5 millionhectares) and yield improvement (from 990 to 1,150 kg per hectare). Thepotential for further area expansion is almost exhausted. Small farmers couldachieve this target if the research and extension service could speed theadoption of (a) high-yielding varieties of rice for the spring (Ahu) andsummer (Boro) seasons, (b) improved early-maturing varieties of oilseeds andpulses suited for limited moisture stress conditions, and (c) efficient use offertilizers. If small farmers in Assam increased cropping intensity by 10 to15% annually, Assam's food production would double during the next 10 years.
1.19 The GOA recently formulated an agricultural strategy to fostergrowth and development. The strategy includes policy adjustment and targetssmall and poor farming communities to (a) develop area-specific assets andinfrastructure required to support productive and sustainable farming systems;(b) plan and execute relevant research, extension, and training programs foraccelerated agricultural growth, and (c) create a favorable policy andinvestment framework and an enabling environment for active private sectorparticipation.
1.20 The GOA has succeeded in enlisting the support of the World FoodProgram, local and national NGOs, and other bilateral agencies to implementthis strategy. This collaboration has already resulted in several small-scale
-5-
projects for fish production, livestock improvement, groundwater development,and road construction in rural India. Further resources will be needed toexpand these development activities.
The Bank's ADnroach to Aariculture in Assam
1.21 The Bank's current approach to agriculture is to assist the GOA in(a) expanding successful development experiences to poor communities, (b)intensifying the use both human capital and natural resources; (c) improvingthe management of its resources through policy reforms and institutionaldevelopment; and (d) redressing inequities.
World Bank SuDDort
1.22 The Bank has supported agriculture and rural development in Indiasince the early 1950s. One hundred thirty-three projects have received IBRDor IDA financing totaling US$10.6 billion equivalent (81% IDA and 19% IBRD).Of these projects, 53 were for irrigation and command area development (US$5.2billion equivalent, or 50% of total agricultural lending). The remaining 80projects can be subdivided as follows: (a) 34 for agricultural supportservices (credit, research, and extension), at US$2.3 billion equivalent; (b)24 for commercial agriculture development (fisheries, livestock, tree crops,and agro-industry), at US$1.6 billion equivalent; (c) 12 for forestry, atUS$500 million equivalent; and (d) 10 other projects including areadevelopment, drought assistance, and cyclone emergency projects, at US$950million equivalent.
1.23 In policy reform and lending for agriculture, the Bank hassupported two agricultural development projects (ADPs) in Tamil Nadu andRajasthan whose implementation has been satisfactory. The Government of TamilNadu (GOTN) has eliminated subsidies for agricultural inputs including seeds,fertilizers, and pesticides. The Government of Rajasthan has increasedexpenditure for long-term investment in agriculture by 20% and streamlined itsrecurrent expenditure, and removed several distortions in its currentagricultural policies.
1.24 The Bank Group has also supported an ADP (Cr.728-IN) with an amountof US$8.0 million for Assam alone as well as 12 other projects, which Assamparticipated along with other states, for a total credit and loan amountequivalent to US$2.2 billion. Although the proposed project is similar to theearlier ADP, the earlier ADP lacked policy reforms. The other projectsinclude four Agricultural Refinance and Development Corporation CreditProjects (Cr. 540-IN, 715-IN, 947-IN, and 1209-IN and Ln. 2095-IN), twoNational Dairy Projects (Cr. 824-IN and 859-IN and Ln. 2893-IN), two NationalAgricultural Research Projects (Cr. 855-IN and 1631-IN), the NationalAgricultural Extension Project (Cr. 1754-IN), the National Bank forAgricultural and Rural Development Project (Ln. 2653), the National SeedsProject (Cr. 1952-IN), and the Food Grain Storage Project (Cr. 747-IN).

Lessons from Previous Bank Involvement
1.25 Many agricultural projects that the Bank has supported haveexperienced implementation problems causing delays in disbursement andcompletion, although there has recently been improvement in disbursements.Problems include delays in project mobilization and procurement; poor qualityconstruction and maintenance of infrastructure (e.g., irrigation, ruralroads); institutional weaknesses; inadequate financial support by the stategovernments; inadequate preparation and implementation of resettlement andrehabilitation programs for affected families; and poor maintenance of assetscreated by projects. Some projects have faced staff constraints as well.Others have provided for only limited participation of beneficiaries,including NGOs and women, in project planning and implementation.
1.26 Because the proposed project includes large investments in ruralroads and irrigation, lessons from the Bihar Rural Roads Project (Cr. 1072-IN)and the Tube Wells Project in Bihar and West Bengal are relevant. Althoughthe Bihar Rural Roads Project achieved impressive physical targets of roadconstruction within the project period, the design, quality of construction,and road maintenance were poor. As a result, the life of these roads was muchshorter than expected. Also, public tube wells in Bihar failed to irrigatethe intended cropped area because of weak beneficiary participation, resultingin poor cost recovery for repair and maintenance. By contrast those in WestBengal succeeded after they were handed over to farmer groups.
Rationale for Bank Involvement
1.27 The proposed project is consistent with the Bank's CountryAssistance StrateQv (CAS) for India presented to the Executive Directors onMay 12, 1994. Among other aspects, the CAS emphasizes providing directsupport for specific reforms through policy-based investment operations at thesectoral, state, and economy-wide levels. As demonstrated during the last twoyears, the Bank is uniquely placed to carry out a dialogue on policy reformwith the GOI and state governments and support implementation of a reformprogram.
1.28 The strategy places increased importance on private sectorinitiative and responsibility. It involves:
(a) encouraging the private sector to supply goods and services thatnow are provided exclusively by the public sector;
(b) introducing beneficiary participation in the design, operation andmaintenance, and financing and ownership of the assets created bythe investment; and
(c) effecting cost recovery for publicly supplied goods and services toensure accountability and sustained maintenance of assets.

1.29 Given the high incidence of poverty in the eastern states of India.including Assam. there is need to redirect Bank assistance to these areaswhere the marginal productivity of investment is high in order to createregional balance and assist in the alleviation of poverty. The emphasis is onbalancing appropriate targeting and delivery of production support services toincrease the agricultural production of the poor on the one hand and efficientresource allocation and a reduced role for the public sector on the other.The GOA and the World Food Programme, participating NGOs, and other localinstitutions have successfully implemented small-scale development activitiesin food production and rural infrastructure in selected poor communities (seepara 1.20). The Bank can play a unique role in assisting the GOA to expandthese successful pilot projects.
II. THE PROJECT
Project Origin and Concept
2.1 The GOA approached the Bank for assistance in its ongoingdevelopment efforts designed to accelerate agricultural growth and alleviatepoverty in rural areas. The rural poor have low incomes, high maternal andchild mortality rates, poor nutrition, low female literacy, low unskilledlabor wages, and high risks of food security. The poor communities in Assamhave limited access to assets, including land, as well as underdevelopedinfrastructure and supporting services, compounding the poverty syndrome.
2.2 The project has been designed to target its benefits to the poorestrural populations. It would offer better employment opportunities to poorerfarmers, and particularly to women, to improve their incomes and nutrition.An attempt would be made to balance the GOA's policy reform objectives withpoverty alleviation goals through careful targeting of beneficiaries. Theproject also incorporates specific measures to ensure beneficiaries'participation in the selection and location of activities supported under theproject (para 3.4 to 3.8).
Project Obiectives
2.3 The primary objectives of the project would be to (a) improveequity and alleviate poverty by offering better opportunities for poorerfarmers and women to contribute to agricultural growth and income generation;(b) improve the nutrition of the rural poor; (c) accelerate agriculturalgrowth through improved use of resources, relieving infrastructural andtechnical constraints, and providing an enabling environment to facilitate thegrowth of private sector investments; (d) encourage sustainability of resourceuse and quality of the environment; and (e) strengthen the agricultural policyframework and improve the GOA's long-term capacity for strategic agriculturalplanning.

Project Description
2.4 The project is intended to benefit the poorest segments of therural population (para 2.2). To achieve this objective, the project wouldsupport: (a) the Department of Agriculture's work program, including theextension services for horticulture, fisheries, and livestock to poor ruralcommunities aimed at increasing their production; (b) institutionaldevelopment (technology generation and extension, seed multiplication and landadministration, and planning and coordination); and (c) rural infrastructure(small scale irrigation and rural roads). Project components would alsoinclude a number of studies considered necessary for improving the use ofnatural resources (soil and water management) and the marketing of highlyperishable horticultural products. The proposed project would be implementedin eight years starting in 1995/96 and would include a package of state-specific policy reforms agreed to by the Bank and formally approved by theGOA.
2.5 Project Area. Although the project would cover the poor farmingcommunities in the entire state (23 districts), the intensity of activities ineach district would depend on the existing production potential. It wouldprovide specific investment support to meet the high-priority needs of thesecommunities. The development blocks to be covered by the project in eachdistrict are shown in Annex 12. Indigenous people (scheduled tribes andscheduled castes) form about 18% of the plains population (in 21 of 23districts) and are scattered over the entire state. The tribal population inrural areas, which is engaged in agriculture and practices farming systemssimilar to those of its neighbors, is among the beneficiaries of the project.Two hill districts are predominantly tribal areas with a separateadministrative arrangement supported by the central government. Because ofthe special nature of the hill districts in the state, the project would limitits coverage to activities of highest potential, such as fruit production.Under these circumstances, the proiect does not need a separate developmentplan for the tribals.
2.6 Targeting of Low-Income Beneficiaries. Project activities would betargeted to selected farming communities according to agreed criteriaincluding accessibility of markets, availability of rural roads, and deliveryof inputs supplies. Within these communities, the project would target about300,000 rural households cultivating about 49,000 hectares. Preference wouldbe given to households with limited resources, including small land holdings,low incomes (below the poverty line), and poor access to clean water (see para3.28; Annex 3, Attachment 3; Annex 8; and Annex 9). The project would assistpoor households, especially women cultivators and heads of households, inacquiring access to water, employment, and improved nutrition within theircommunities. The GOA through the baseline surveys would identify the targetgroup of the poorest in the rural area for project activities. Other ruralhouseholds and communities would benefit from the improvement andrehabilitation of rural roads and agricultural services.

2.7 Proposed Reform Proqram. During project preparation, a review ofthe state budget revealed that recurrent expenditure in agriculture isdisplacing investment and thereby adversely affecting agricultural growth.The GOA in preparing its agricultural development strategy analyzed theseissues (see para 1.19). The strategy includes (a) reduction of public sectordelivery of production inputs and services, (b) introduction of cost recoverywhere possible and reduction of subsidies, (c) diversification of farmingtoward products in which the state has comparative advantage, (d)liberalization of state trade policy, (e) preparation and implementation ofdemand-driven agricultural research programs, and (f) introduction of policyincentives to promote private sector involvement in agriculture.
2.8 To implement the above strategy, GOA has formulated a policy actionmatrix (Annex 2). Under the plan, GOA would:
(a) encourage private and cooperative sector investment in fisheriesdevelopment by extending lease periods for water bodies from threeto 7 years by issuing related government orders during 1996;
(b) issue government orders by the end of 1996 to invite private sectorcompanies and individuals to operate and manage foundation andcertified seed multiplication farms and horticultural nurseriescurrently run by the Agriculture Department and public agencies;
(c) prepare a five-year plan by the end of 1996 to phase out GOAsubsidies on agricultural inputs, except those for tribals andscheduled castes covered by special programs;
(d) phase out subsidies for farm machinery hire service offered by theEngineering Wing of the Department of Agriculture to encourageprivate sector involvement by the end of 1996;
(e) initiate implementation of the Irrigation Act of 1992 in 1996,according to an agreed plan that would allow full cost recovery ofwater from beneficiaries, including the cost of electricity forpublic deep tube wells and lift irrigation schemes;
(f) during 1996, issue a government order to facilitate transfer of newand rehabilitated irrigation schemes under the project tobeneficiaries;
(g) prepare during 1996 a schedule for phasing out non-viable publicsector enterprises in agriculture; and
(h) during 1996, assign responsibility for fisheries policy developmentto the Department of Fisheries to include all public water bodies.
-10-
2.9 Reforms Already Implemented. During project processing, the GOAhad taken early actions toward implementation of selected policy reformsrecommended under the project. It had:
(a) extended lease periods of water bodies from three to five years toattract private sector involvement in fisheries development;
(b) increased farm machinery hire charges from Rs 286 to Rs 372 perhectare per day (reducing the subsidy by 30%);
(c) increased water charges from Rs 80 to Rs 140 per hectare duringkharif;
(d) identified unprofitable public sector corporations in theagricultural sector to be wound-up; and
(e) prepared an annual work program and budget for FY96, which includesspecific reduction of subsidies on fertilizers and seeds.
2.10 During project implementation, the GOA would submit the stateagricultural budget and work program to the Bank on an annual basis reflectingpolicy adjustment. The Bank would review the documents and assist the GOA torationalize and reverse the current trend in public expenditure. Duringnegotiations the GOA confirmed its commitment to imnlement the above Dolicyreforms (vara 2.8).
Detailed Features of Investment Proposals
Poverty Alleviation (US$24.1 million, or 19% of the base cost).
2.11 The project would support the GOA annual agricultural program whichis directed to alleviate poverty and improve services to rural communities in23 districts. The priority areas would include the development of (a)fisheries, (b) horticulture, and (c) livestock. The project would supportimplementation of these activities according to agreed formula for capitalcost sharing with beneficiaries, outlined in the cost recovery section (seeparas 4.24 to 4.26).
(a) Fisheries Development. To tap the existing potential for fishproduction in Assam (Annex 1, para 15), the project would includethree main activities:
(i) Fish Production. Support for the development of farm ponds(800 ponds of average size of 0.25 ha each), community tanks(150 tanks of average size of 2 ha each), and large beele (SObeels of average size of 100 ha each). The beels would beconstructed and seeded at an average cost of Rs 13,000 perhectare and leased out to the highest private bidders.
-11-
(ii) Fish Support Services. Support needed to (a) establish sixfish health units and a mini-mill for testing and developmentof feed; (b) strengthen extension service (e.g., providingtraining to fish subject matter specialists to supplement thebroad-based extension service, para 2.14 (c)); and (c) carryout demonstration of integrated fish farming system withhorticulture and animal husbandry.
(iii) Monitoring and Evaluation. Support to investigate problemsaffecting floodplain fisheries, carry out a systematicecological survey of the wetlands, monitor implementation offisheries development activities, and evaluate the impact ofthe project on rural incomes and on the environment.
(b) Horticulture. To alleviate some of the constraints affecting thedevelopment of high-value crops (see Annex 1, para 16), the projectwould:
(i) strengthen 23 progeny orchards;
(ii) train subject matter specialists for extension service; and
(iii) establish demonstration plots on selected farmers' fields byproviding improved horticultural planting material.
Only progeny orchards that would be leased to private entrepreneurswould be rehabilitated. Detailed review of their performance andpotential for improvement would be undertaken to attract interestedprivate entrepreneurs. The objective would be to promote privateproduction of horticultural seed and seedlings.
(c) Livestock Development. To complement the GOA's ongoing effort toimprove livestock productivity (see Annex 1, para 17), the projectwould:
(i) support an artificial insemination (AI) program by extendingcoverage of the cattle upgrading program through establishmentof three frozen semen production stations, creating six "frozensemen banks," rehabilitating existing liquid nitrogen plants,and extending coverage of AI to the poor districts;
(ii) strengthen disease diagnostic and investigation laboratoriesand disease monitoring;
(iii) refurbish and modify Livestock Husbandry Department buildingsfor training and procure equipment and training material;
(iv) train self-employed livestock technicians (veterinarians,breeders, and "lay inseminators");
-12-
(v) train subject matter specialists in basic aspects of animalhusbandry and management; and
(vi) support forage seeds production by the private sector throughcontracts and forage production by NGOs and field managementcommittees (FMCs).
Institutional DeveloDment (US$23.1 million, or 19t of base cost).
2.12 The success of the project in alleviating poverty would depend onthe capacity of the institutions involved to generate and transferagricultural technology efficiently, especially in the priority productionareas supported by the project (horticulture, fisheries, and livestock).Because about 70% of the area is flood-prone during the monsoon season,availability of adaptive technology to these conditions will be especiallyimportant.
2.13 Furthermore, because of the small size of farms, increaseddiversification and efficiency of production from land becomes crucial to thesurvival of the household. The project would support improvement ofintegrated technology generation and transfer to cover crop, livestock, andfish production and land use efficiency for both irrigated and rainfedfarming.
2.14 Specifically, the project covers (a) technology generation, (b)education and training, (c) extension service, (d) seed multiplication, and(a) land administration.
(a) Technoloov Generation. The project would:
(i) strengthen the state-level applied research in six regionalagricultural research stations under the Assam AgriculturalUniversity, namely, Titabar, Shillongani, Karimganj, Lakhimpur,Gossaigaon, and Diphu;
(ii) strengthen the livestock research center at Mandira and thehorticultural research center at Kahikuchi, and establish a newfisheries research center at Jorhat; and
(iii) establish a pilot project on soil and water conservation andmanagement and treat about 5,400 hectares of land, which wouldserve as demonstrations.
(b) Education and Trainina. Assam Agricultural University isresponsible for education and training of pre-service staff. Theobjective of the subcomponent is to increase the representation ofwomen in the extension service. Facilities for farmer trainingwould also be provided at five sites (selected, surveyed, and readyto build). To accomplish the objective, the project would:
-13-
(i) support pre-service training for women by refurbishing the GramSevika Training Center at Jorhat;
(ii) strengthen the ability of the Assam agricultural university toprovide in-service training to extension staff;
(iii) support farmers' training; and
(iv) upgrade the training facility at Naltoli to function as astate-level staff training institute.
(c) Extension. Under the proposed project, coverage of a broad basedextension service would be expanded to include high-value crops,fisheries, and livestock, as well as introduce reforms aimed ataddressing recognized limitations of the current T&V system andassociated problems. The strategy would be to (i) strengthen therole of the contact farmer and group approaches through strongerlinks with FMCs and NGOs, (ii) use local mass media (both print andelectronic), (iii) develop extension materials for women farmers,and (iv) expand the participation of field staff and NGOs in thedesign and implementation of the extension strategy, whichaddresses both production targets and efficient management of landand water resources. Watershed development and soil and watermanagement would receive special emphasis. To achieve the abovestrategy, the project would:
(i) extend coverage of the expanded extension service to allagricultural subdivisions, including eight additionalsubdivisions, and provide vehicles for the AgriculturalDepartment and for extension staff on a hire-purchasearrangement;
(ii) support Field Trial Stations, to include trials anddemonstration of production technologies (farm power andharvesting) on farmers' fields, and postharvest technology(crop drying and storage);
(iii) strengthen provision of information to extension staff bysupplying equipment (including an offset printing facility),and materials.
(d) Seed MultiDlication. A seed production plan prepared by the GOAidentified the state's need for breeder, foundation and certifiedseed. To assist Assam in implementing the above plan moreefficiently, limited support would be provided to the public sector(Assam Agricultural University) to produce breeder seed.Facilities for processing and maintaining seed would be provided.The project would also provide improvements (fencing, farmmachinery and equipment, repair of farm buildings, provision ofirrigation water) on government foundation and certified seed farms
-14-
to be leased to the private sector, the full cost of which would berecovered from the new lease holders.
(e) Land Administration. In Assam, pressure on land is high. Morethan 60% of the state's land holders own less than one hectare ofhighly fragmented land. With such small land holdings, long-terminvestment, such as improved irrigation and drainage, which iscritical for increasing crop yields and diversification to high-value crops, is limited. The project would introduce betterintegrated land use planning and improve land management operationsby supporting cadastral surveys and computerizing land records intwo districts, and consolidating fragmented land holdings in 15villages of four revenue circles of Kamrup District. The pilotproject would be implemented over three years and would ultimatelycover about 10,000 land holders on an estimated cultivable landarea of 2,400 hectares.
Infrastructure DeveloDment (US$74.7 million, or 60% of base cost).
2.15 Poorly developed infrastructure is an impediment to the economicdevelopment of the state (Annex 1, para 1-11; on irrigation and roads). Theproject would support specific improvements in irrigation and rural roads.
(a) Irrigation. The project would target a ground water developmenteffort to the poor communities. To accomplish the strategy, theproject would:
(i) construct 15,000 shallow tube wells (STWs) covering 33,000 ha;
(ii) rehabilitate 320 deep tube wells (DTws) and provide combinationpump sets (both electric and diesel pump) to about 8% of thewells, and rehabilitate 150 river pumping schemes, for a totalirrigation capacity of about 15,500 ha;
(iii) construct five irrigation tanks as a pilot scheme to irrigateabout 100 ha;
(iv) assist in establishing farmer groups (field managementcommittees and water user associations) and train farmers inthe proper operation and maintenance of the irrigationschemes through NGOs as promoters and organizers of farmersgroups; and
(v) provide training to project staff.
The project would support implementation of the irrigationactivities according to an agreed formula for capital cost sharingwith beneficiaries, outlined in the cost recovery section (see para4.24 to 4.26).
-15-
(b) Rural Roads. It is estimated that more than 17,000 kilometers ofrural roads in Assam are in need of improvement. However, the highcost of road construction, currently estimated at Rs 1.5 to 2.0million per kilometer, mainly due to high royalty payments forconstruction material, would limit the support to a small, well-defined network of rural roads in six districts (Lakhimpur,Nagaong, Sibsagar, Kamrup, Darrang, and Cachar). The project wouldcover:
(i) rehabilitation of about 1,400 km of rural roads, includingreplacement of 282 unserviceable timber bridges;
(ii) provision of spare parts for heavy road construction equipmentunder the Public Works Department (PWD);
(iii) provision of consultant services to prepare road and bridgedesigns, specifications, drawings, and bidding documents and tosupervise construction by private contractors;
(iv) modernization of the PWD's laboratory and design, mechanicaland road maintenance wings;
(v) support for rural road maintenance; and
(vi) training of PWD personnel in project and contract management,quality control, road maintenance, and labor-intensiveconstruction.
The selection of roads has taken into account areas of agriculturalpotential, traffic growth projections, need to improve the existingcoimmunications system between villages and markets, and the extentto which land acquisition and negative environmental effects can beavoided. The selection was based on agreed criteria for rankingroads incorporating the above factors, developed jointly by the PWDand the IDA through consultation with rural communities and NGOs(Annex 3, Attachment 3). Although support for road repair andmaintenance is provided under the proiect. preparation of a roadmaintenance policy. financing arrangements, and imnlementation plansatisfactory to the Association is a condition of disbursement ofCredit funds for road maintenance.
Prolect Implementation (US$2.2 million, or 2% of base cost).
2.16 Because of the multisectoral nature of the activities supportedunder the project, assistance would be provided to create in-house capacityfor project implementation. GOA would establish a Project Implementation Unit(PIU), and funds under the project would finance vehicles, office equipment,incremental operation and maintenance, and minimal incremental staff to plan,
-16-
design, supervise, monitor and evaluate project activities. Studies on soilsand water management and marketing of high-value crops would also be financed
under the project (Annex 4, Attachments 1 and 2).
Proiect Costs and Financing
2.17 Total project costs including physical and price contingencies areestimated at Rs 5,676.5 million (US$146.6 million), of which US$10.1 million,or 8.0% of base costs, would be in foreign exchange. Investment costs andrecurrent costs amount to 77% and 23% of base costs, respectively. Thebreakdown of costs by component is shown at Annex 5 and is summarized below.Project costs are based on actual July 1994 prices and include physicalcontingencies of US$13.4 million (about 11.0% of total base costs) and pricecontingencies totaling US$9.2 million (7.0% of base costs) that are based onthe following projected annual inflation rates. Local inflation rates for1994, 1995, and 1996 are projected to be 9.5%, 8.0%, and 7.0%. The localinflation rate for each of the remaining years of the project is projected tobe 6%. Regarding external inflation, annual rates of 3.0%, 1.5%, 1.8%, and2.6% for 1994 to 1997, respectively, and 2.5% annually thereafter through 2001(which are consistent with the Bank's latest projections issued October 1994)
were assumed in estimating project costs.
-17-
2.18 Identifiable duties and taxes would amount to Rs 276.8 million(US$7.3 million). Total project cost, net of duties and taxes, would beUS$139.3 million.

2.19 The proposed IDA credit of SDR 81.0 million (US$126.0 millionequivalent) would finance 90% of total project costs, net of duties and taxes,or 86% of total costs including taxes, and all foreign exchange costs.The credit would be made to the GOI on standard terms and conditions, and theGOl would on-lend credit proceeds to the GOA on its prevailing terms andarrangements. The State's contribution and that of the beneficiaries ofproject activities, amounting to US$20.6 million would be included in theGOA's annual budgetary allocations. Funds for implementing individualactivities would be channeled to implementing line departments and agencies,and Project Implementation Unit. These funds would be available forreallocation among components depending on the success in implementing aparticular component or the need for inclusion of any new activities withinthe general project objective and area. This arrangement would encourageparticipating line departments and agencies to complete their targets ahead ofschedule and increase their activities, particularly since the potential forsuch expansion exists.
-18-
2.20 To participate effectively, beneficiaries would contribute labor orcash needed for construction of fish ponds, community fish tanks, andirrigation schemes and for their operation and maintenance. Beneficiariesalso would construct and maintain village link roads.
2.21 Incremental costs for sustaining activities and facilitiesestablished under the project following its completion would be met bybeneficiaries through collection of charges from user groups. The Stategovernment's budgetary support would be limited to extension service, ruralroad repair and maintenance, and incremental recurrent costs for activitiesundertaken by Assam Agricultural University.
Procurement
2.22 Works consist of construction and rehabilitation of shallow tubewells, tanks, deep tube wells, and river pumping schemes for irrigation;construction of fish ponds, community fish tanks, and large fish beels; andconstruction of rural roads and buildings, and repair and maintenance of ruralroads. Because these works are small and scattered throughout the state, theywould not attract foreign bidders. These works would therefore be procuredusing national competitive bidding (NCB) and force account proceduresincluding beneficiaries' in-kind contribution in the form of labor.
(a) NCB would be used in respect of works valued in aggregate US$67.0M. The works would be grouped into convenient packages for biddingof at least US$400,000. Necessary land would be acquired prior tobidding. Contracts would be issued using procedures satisfactoryto the Association; and

2.28 Disbursements under the credit would cover 90% of total projectcosts net of taxes and duties, including the following:
(a) 100% of expenditure on consultancies;
(b) 90% of expenditure on works; and
(c) 100% of foreign expenditure, or 100% of ex-factory costs, or 80% ofcosts of goods, if purchased locally.
2.29 Expenditure on incremental operating costs would be on a decliningbasis as follows: 70% until March 31, 1996, 50% until March 31, 1998, and 20%thereafter (including vehicle and equipment operation and maintenance,agricultural materials, office supplies, incremental salaries, and wages andutilities).
2.30 Full documentation would be provided for disbursements forexpenditures for vehicles, equipment, and furniture under contracts exceedingUS$100,000; for works under contracts exceeding US$200,000; and forconsultants and training under contracts exceeding US$100,000 (US$50,000 forindividual consultants). For all other expenditures, IDA would disburseagainst statements of expenditure (SOE) in an agreed format. Supportingdocuments for SOEs would be available for inspection by supervision missionsand auditors, and retained by implementing agencies for one year after Bankreceipt of the audit report for the fiscal year in which the last withdrawalfrom the credit account was made. Based on the credit disbursement profilefor Bank-assisted agricultural projects in India, the credit under the projectwould be disbursed over eight years from July 1995 to June 2003 (Annex 6).Project completion is June 30, 2003 and credit closing is December 31, 2003.
Retroactive FinancinQ and Special Account
2.31 To expedite project start-up, IDA would retroactively financeproject expenditures incurred after appraisal (November 1, 1994) up to a limitof SDR 3.9 M (US$6.0 M equivalent), provided IDA procurement procedures andguidelines were followed. These expenditures would include procurement ofvehicles and equipment, consultant services and workshops for training, andother start-up activities. To facilitate timely payment of projectexpenditures, a Special Account amounting to an equivalent of US$4.0 million(equal to three months' average disbursements) would be established at theReserve Bank of India.
Accounts and Audit
2.32 Separate records and accounts would be maintained by eachparticipating entity. The accounts would identify all project expendituretransactions on an ongoing basis, including contributions from the GOA, theGOI, and the credit. Supporting documentation would be retained for reviewby Bank supervision missions. To ensure proper maintenance of records andaccounts, an accounts officer would be recruited in the Project ImplementationUnit (PIU) to assist staff of individual line departments and agencies
-22-
implementing project activities in complying with standard government controland auditing procedures. The Accounts officer would also be responsible forpreparing PIU accounts, conducting internal audits of all project activitiesbeing implemented by line departments, and performing technical audits of thespecial account on a regular basis in collaboration with economists in the PIUand outside experts. Technical audits would be financed with project funds.The special account would be audited annually, and the audited statements andthe auditor's report would be submitted to IDA.
2.33 The GOA auditing arrangements would continue, and an audit inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles and auditingstandards would be made. AQreement was obtained at necqotiations that GOAwould cause all imnlementinQ agencies to maintain separate accounts forprolect expenditures, and that the PIU would consolidate prolect accounts andsend to the Association certified coDies of the audited accounts and SOEs forthe project not later than nine months after the end of each fiscal year.
III. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Project Management Approach
3.1 The state agriculture strategy (para 1.19) and policy action matrix(para 2.8) would provide direction to project management activities. However,the strategy and the policy would be reviewed and revised regularly to ensurethat basic objectives are achieved for accelerating agricultural development,public funds are used judiciously, and natural resources are maintained. Thestate annual budget would be revised to reflect the policy reforms andinstitutional adjustments being proposed under the project.
3.2 Senior policy-makers of the state supported by NGO representativeswould guide project management. The participating line departments wouldimplement project field activities, which the agricultural productioncommissioner (APC) would coordinate at the state level. Support forincremental staffing would be provided where necessary. The aim of theproject would be to improve staff competence at all levels through projectsupported training programs. Systems aimed at improving the quality andeffectiveness of the public services would also be established with emphasison quality improvement and cost effectiveness.
3.3 At the grassroots level, participation of beneficiaries,particularly women, NGOs, and farmers organizations, would be activelypromoted. To the extent possible, the project also would aim at transferringor leasing production assets to the care and management of the localbeneficiary groups. Involvement of the GOA in activities better suited forthe private sector would be avoided. To achieve thi.s objective the GOA wouldcreate an economic environment conducive to the promotion of the privatesector in agriculture through policy adjustment as reflected in the policyreform matrix.
-23-
Beneficiary and NGO Participation
3.4 The project would promote beneficiary participation in theselection, location, design, and implementation of project activities. Localbeneficiary groups, especially Field Management Committees (FMCs), selectedNGOs, and Water User Associations (WUAs) would be responsible for field-levelimplementation of project components. Operation and maintenance of commonassets established by the project would be vested with FMCs and WUAs. Asimilar approach followed in the Bank-supported Bihar Plateau DevelopmentProject (Cr. 2439-IN) was successful in involving local people in establishingand maintaining rural assets. Also, several states in India (Haryana, WestBengal, Maharashtra) have with the support of the Bank, establishedsustainable models for WUAs, especially in minor irrigation and tube wells.The recently issued ICR for West Bengal Minor Irrigation Project (Cr. 1619-IN)documents the successful experience of WUA in project implementation.
3.5 FMCs are nonpolitical, village-based voluntary social groupsworking for the welfare and economic growth of the village communities. TheDOA has actively promoted the formation of FMCs to accelerate agriculturalgrowth. About 18,000 FMCs have been established throughout the state. Some1,000 FMCs are self-supporting, and the rest are in various stages ofdevelopment.
3.6 FMCs have successfully managed the village common assetsestablished with support from the World Food Program and local NGOs (e.g.,fish ponds, surface irrigation schemes and ground water facilities), builtsmall-scale enterprises, and reinvested the revenue generated from theseactivities for common services such as education, WID programs, and short-termcredit programs for the needy poor. FMCs are also active in promoting theintroduction of high-yielding varieties and new, high-value crops, inencouraging livestock and sericulture development, and in organizing inputdelivery and marketing services. WUAs have been established to manage small-scale irrigation, but the Assam experience with WUAs is limited. Furtherexpansion under the project would require careful monitoring and technicalassistance specialized in these services.
3.7 Under the project, NGOs would serve as partners responsible formobilizing rural people for group action and upgrading skills of FMC leaders.About 20 NGOs are currently active in the state. NGO involvement indevelopmental activities is relatively new in Assam, but it is steadilygrowing. In earlier years, NGOs focused primarily on nonfarm employmentopportunities and social welfare programs. Specialized NGOs are interested inparticipating in agriculture, animal husbandry, and allied activities.Information on NGOs in Assam, their activities, and their proposed involvementin this project is in Annex 8.
3.8 To enhance the effectiveness of the local institutions, the GOAwould empower registered beneficiary groups to collect 1i of the constructionand operation and maintenance cost of the facilities from beneficiaries.
-24-
During project implementation, the GOA would organize workshops forbeneficiaries and NGOs. Agreement was obtained at neqotiations that GOA wouldcontract NGOs selected accordinQ to criteria aQreed with IDA (Annex 8.Attachment 4).
Proiect Orcranization and Manaaement
3.9 Being multisectoral, the project would be implemented by a numberof departments and agencies. The agricultural production commissioner (APC)would coordinate and guide these departments and agencies in implementingproject activities (Annex 7). Each implementing department or agency wouldidentify one officer who would be responsible for coordinating all itsactivities under the project. To assist the APC, a Project ImplementationUnit (PIU) headed by a director and supported by two economists, anenvironmentalist, an anthropologist and an accounts officer would beestablished and supported under the project. Acreement was obtained atnegotiations that GOA would maintain a Project ImDlementation Unit withstaffinc and responsibilities acreed with the Association.
3.10 The PIU would include an NGO and environment cell to coordinatebeneficiary participation and carry out environmental screening of projectactivities. The PIU would be responsible for planning and monitoringimplementation of project activities and for supervising and evaluatingperformance both directly and through consultant input.
3.11 To assist in implementation, two committees would be established atthe state level. The Project Guidance Committee (PGC) would be headed by thechief secretary of the state; the APC would serve as secretary to PGC. Othersenior secretaries in the government and four NGO representatives would serveas members. This committee would approve the project annual work plan (para3.15) and budget, and address policy-related issues. The Project CoordinationCommittee (PCC), would include the APC as the committee chairperson, theProject Director as its secretary, heads of implementing departments andagencies, the additional secretary (Finance) of the Mini-Secretariat, andrepresentatives of NGOs and user group as members. The Project CoordinationCommittee would review annual work plans and associated expenditures in thebudget prepared by PIU prior to submission to the Project Guidance Committeefor approval. It would periodically, assess project performance and offersuggestions for improvement. AQreement was obtained at negotiations that theGOA would maintain the Prolect Guidance Committee and the Prolect CoordinationCommittee with membershiD and resDonsibilities agreed with the Association.
3.12 Implementation of individual activities under the three maincomponents would be undertaken by the respective line departments, thedistrict and block development administration, and the state agriculturaluniversity (Annex 13). NGOs and beneficiaries would also participate inproject implementation. Overall coordination of implementation would be theresponsibility of the project director. The project director's otherresponsibilities would be: (a) reviewing and approving plans prepared by linedepartments, (b) allocating funds, and (c) monitoring implementation ofapproved plans.
-25-
3.13 Because implementing departments have other responsibilities,separate teams would be created in each line department at Guwahatiexclusively for implementing project activities. Each team would include (a)the head of the department or agency (chairperson), (b) a senior officer inthe department (secretary), (c) two field-level managers nominated by thedepartment or agency head, and (d) representatives of two NGOs withappropriate expertise or experience. Each team would meet periodically (atleast once every quarter) to review plans and field implementation problemsand advise the head of department on appropriate actions.
3.14 The deputy commissioners through their development wings in thedistricts would coordinate and integrate all project activities in thedistrict and assist the APC and PD in planning and overseeing implementation.The block development officers would perform a similar role at the blocklevel. At the district block and village levels, the District Planning andDevelopment Council, the panchayats samiti, and the village panchayats wouldhelp the rural development administration in planning and implementing projectactivities. These local institutions would be important contact points forcommunicating with people about and sensitizing them to project activities.
3.15 The project is designed as a rolling program with annual work plansphased in to cover all districts over the implementation period. It aims atpromoting integrated planning and coordinated implementation of thesubcomponents to secure maximum socioeconomic gains. Achieving implementationefficiency, high quality of works, cost effectiveness, and NGO and beneficiaryinvolvement are some of the project's major themes.
3.16 The annual work plan would include:
(a) implementation details and expenditures for project activitiesduring the year;
(b) implementation plan and budget for project activities for thefollowing year;
(c) arrangements for carrying out cadastral surveys, updating landrecords, and encouraging existing local institutions (e.g., FieldManagement Committees) to promote land consolidation on a pilotscale;
(d) arrangements for leasing irrigation schemes and fish productiontanks and transferring the responsibility for their operation andmaintenance to beneficiaries during the project period;
(e) agenda for at least two workshops with NGOs to define their role inthe project and facilitate their involvement in implementingproject activities;
(f) Memoranda of Agreement between implementing departments/agenciesand NGOs and FMCs, covering the selection, location, and design ofproject activities in the implementation plan;
-26-
(g) designs, drawings, specifications, and bidding documents for ruralroads proposed for construction during the year;
(h) arrangements for carrying out a systematic ecological survey of thewetlands;
(i) a training program for staff of implementing line departments, anappropriate monitoring system, arrangements for carrying outeconomic and social surveys, and an annual report evaluating theimpact of the project; and
(j) background studies on ground water for those sites identified forconstruction of new tube wells.
3.17 The annual work plan, procurement plan, and civil works plan, alongwith the project legal documents, would serve as the main framework forproject implementation. Supervision of the project would be undertaken byboth the Bank and the GOI/MOA on a semi-annual basis. Agreement was obtainedat negotiations that the GOA would prepare and submit to IDA by the end ofMarch of each year. starting in 1996 annual work plans and budgets for the
proiect satisfactory to the Association.
3.18 To ensure that the Project Implementation Unit carries out itsplanning and monitoring responsibilities adequately, competent persons wouldbe recruited to fill the two economist positions. The candidates would haveappropriate academic backgrounds, and field experience in project planning andmonitoring, and computer skills. They would be contracted or deployed forthese positions on a fixed-term basis; their salaries and other personalemoluments would be accommodated within the overall budgetary provisions.
3.19 The economists' primary responsibility would be to formulate andfinalize annual project plans in consultation with implementing linedepartments and agencies, and to review and monitor implementation progress.In addition, the economists would assess field training needs and organizetraining for staff in project planning and management, and other courses asthe project director sees fit.
3.20 The environmentalist in the PIU would carry out environmentalassessment and amelioration activities. The expert would organize workshopsas forums for NGOs and others to deliberate on all aspects of the project,with particular emphasis on the environment, and make recommendations to thedecision making committees proposed under the project. At these workshops,NGO representatives would be elected to the various committees.
3.21 The Anthropologist in the PIU would coordinate NGO activities,specifically reviewing investment proposals with respect to the participatoryprocess and social concerns; developing innovative proposals for possibleimplementation under the project; standardizing the methodology, procedure,and norms for major field activities, such as beneficiary organization; andmonitoring and evaluating NGO activities implemented with financial assistancefrom the project.
-27-
3.22 The environmentalist and the anthropologist would develop criteriaand operational procedures for screening project investment components forenvironmental and social considerations, and put in place arrangements forimplementation of these procedures. The NGO and environment cell would alsodevelop and implement guidelines for monitoring activities throughout theproject (para 4.19). Investments under the project are not expected todisplace families from their lands. However, as a precaution, in unforeseensituation if it becomes necessary, the GOA agreed at the negotiations to carryout land acaruisition and resettlement and rehabilitation of any peonleaffected by the prolect in accordance with arrangements and procedures agreedwith the Association. Such arrangements and procedures are included in Annex17.
Planning Procedure
3.23 The economists in the PIU would (a) formulate, in the third quarterof each year, an annual work program for the succeeding year in consultationwith the heads of departments/agencies, deputy commissioners, and NGOs; and(b) review implementation progress during the year, agree on the selection anddesign criteria, and review monitoring and evaluation reports, other specificstudies, and NGO/beneficiary suggestions as the base for project planning.All activities that might likely have an adverse impact on the environmentwould be referred to and cleared by the responsible environmentalist at thePIU.
3.24 Each draft annual plan would be referred to the appropriate zillaparishads (local councils) for their views. The views of the zilla parishadin the selection of activities and sites for works would be given dueconsideration in finalizing an annual plan. Each final plan would then bediscussed by the Project Coordinating Committee and approved. The approvedplan would form the basis for budget preparation. Agreement was obtained atnegotiations that the GOA would cause staff of implementing departments andagencies to interact and agree with beneficiaries in the choice, location,design, preparation, and implementation of activities supDorted under theproiect.
3.25 Because the project would have funds for the identification ofproject-related studies for implementation by consultants orNGOs, the studies would be part of the annual plan, with agreed Terms ofReference. These studies would be cleared by the Project CoordinationCommittee and the Bank before implementation.
Budgeting
3.26 The project would have a separate budget "head" and "subhead" foreach implementing department and agency. Performance budgeting would beintroduced to relate expected physical performance with the funds budgeted foreach implementing agency. The performance budget would be the main documentfor project implementation review. The project director would organizetraining in performance budget formulation and use for all concerned staff.
-28-
Once the budget is approved, the APC/PD would hold one or several meetings ofthe Project Coordination Committee before the beginning of the fiscal year toapprove project activities.
3.27 The project would establish a special fund for promoting andsupporting innovative schemes consistent with project goals. The fund wouldbe operated by the Project Implementation Unit with the assistance of theProject Coordination Committee and the NGO cell. Along with governmentagencies, women's groups, NGOs, and farmer organizations would alsohave access to the fund. The PCC would establish guidelines for securingassistance from the fund within the first six months of project commencement.
Monitoring and Evaluation
3.28 The PIU would regularly monitor project implementation progress andcorrect any deficiencies. The project director supported, by consultants,would be responsible for (a) identifying, through baseline surveys, targetgroups of low-income beneficiaries for project activities, and (b) developingan appropriate monitoring and evaluation system for delivery of managementinformation on implementation and performance through monitorable indicatorsfrom the field. Data for assessing project development objectives would alsobe collected through baseline surveys. Computer facilities would be providedto help the PIU carry out this task. The consultants would also design atraining program for PIU staff. A matrix of monitorable indicators forachievement of project objectives is presented in Annex 16.
Revorting. Mid-Term Review, and Project Implementation Report
3.29 Progress reports would be prepared by individual implementingdepartments/agencies annually and submitted to the Project Guidance Committeeand Project Coordination Committee for clearance and consolidation by PIUbefore being sent to the Bank, no later than 90 days after the end of eachfiscal year. Each report would contain brief descriptions of the main eventsof the reporting period including progress of physical implementation,expenditures incurred, staffing status, procurement, and force accountarrangements. These reports would compare actual data with targets of theindicative plans and annual work programs. In addition, the GOA would submita copy of its annual project plan, state agricultural budget, and procurementplan including civil works once every year (end of June) for Bank review andcomment.
3.30 An independent consultant would carry out a mid-term review of theproject at the end of the fourth year of implementation. The Review wouldfocus on progress made, take stock of the experience gained in implementingindividual components of the project, and evaluate problems associated withparticipatory planning and implementation with beneficiaries. Agreedrecommendations of the mid-term review would be implemented by eachagency/department involved. AQreement was obtained at neqotiations that theGOA would, with the assistance of consultants. carry out a Mid-Term Review ofthe project by June 30. 1999. (fourth year of proiect implementation) andimplement the recommendations of the mid-term review.
-29-
3.31 The PIU would prepare an implementation completion report on thebasis of the Bank's guidelines no later than six months after the closing dateof the credit. The report would highlight physical and financial problemsfaced during implementation and assess the impact of the project to determinewhether the objectives were achieved.
Pro-ect Supervision
3.32 Project supervision would be closely linked to the projectobjectives and the annual implementation plans. It would involve monitoring anumber of key indicators and assessing both quality and quantity aspects ofproject implementation and their impact.
3.33 Heads of participating line departments would supervise projectimplementation and provide guidance. In addition, the PIU would overseesupervision of project activities to assess field implementation progress andproblems, involvement of beneficiary participation, and impact. The Bankwould normally field two missions in a year to focus primarily on keyimplementation issues. The first mission would concentrate on detailed reviewof the Annual work plan at the onset of the budget year; the second wouldresolve problems, assess benefits, and draw lessons. However, fullresponsibility for project supervision would rest with implementing linedepartments and the PIU. Proposed experts on supervision missions arepresented in Annex 15.
IV. PROJECT BENEFITS AND JUSTIFICATION
4.1 The proposed project would contribute to the GOA's objectives forpoverty alleviation and to improve equity in the rural areas. It also wouldaccelerate agricultural growth through improved use of resources. The policyreforms to be carried out through the project would lead to the allocation ofresources to high-priority investments for agricultural and rural development.
4.2 Specifically, the project would benefit about 300,000 poor ruralpeople by directly increasing their average annual net income from farmingalone by about 60%, from Rs 2,950 to Rs 4,720.1 In addition, while improvingthe community assets, the construction works would generate about 75 millionman-days of seasonal and nonfarm employment through the road, fisheries, andirrigation infrastructure supported under the project.2 Furthermore, thenutrition of the rural population would be improved through increasedproduction of fish, fruit and vegetables, and milk.
1 Based on the average farm size (0.8 ha) of the majority (60%) ofarea farmers.
2 Para 2.27 (procurement of works) and para 1.14 (labor rates).
-30-
4.3 The project would improve communication, increase crop production,employment opportunities, and rural incomes, and create sustainable productionassets. A network of 1,400 km of rural roads would be constructed, upgraded,and maintained. Water would be made available to irrigate 49,000 ha of landand increase the current cropping intensity of 140% by about 15% annually, toreach 210% cropping intensity by the end of the project period. Riceproduction would be improved by providing quality seeds, thereby increasingmarketable surplus. As a result of increased cropping intensity, higheryields, and livestock and fisheries activities, annual employment in theproject areas would increase by about 3 million man-days at fulldevelopment.3 The project also would introduce an integrated managementsystem in planning and implementation, promote user group and NGO involvementin the development process, and sensitize people to environmental issues.
4.4 Production and Marketing. The project would increase theproduction of food crops (rice, oilseeds, and pulses), fruits and vegetables,milk, and fish. The bulk of the incremental food grain production would befrom irrigation schemes, including both new and rehabilitated schemes.
4.5 The following projected yield levels under the project areconservative and attainable:
Present Yields 4 Future Yields with Proiect(tons per ha) (tons per ha)
Paddy 2.5 4.0Mustard 0.5 0.8Potato 10.0 15.0Gram 0.5 0.8
4.6 With irrigation, the cropping intensity would increase by about451. Assuming the above conservative crop yields, the project would increasethe production of paddy, mustard, potatoes, and gram by 132,000, 5,000, 9,000,and 5,000 tons, respectively, at full development about 10 years after thestart of the project. Crop and farm budgets under the present situation andwith improved irrigation intensity, presented in Annex 11, were used in thecomputation of incremental value of production.
4.7 The rural population in Assam currently suffers frequent foodshortages mainly because of the weak resource base, including a pooragricultural technology base. Most of the incremental production would beconsumed on the farm. A small portion (about lo) is expected to be sold in
3 Excludes direct employment in project works.
4 It was assumed that present yields would remain constant in thewithout-project situation because there are no data toillustrate either a declining or an increasing trend.
-31-
neighboring markets, which would be more accessible with improvements to therural road system. Increasing surplus production, mainly fish, milk, fruit,and vegetables, would be sold in the well-established existing markets.
Economic Analysis
4.8 Individual rates of return for the irrigation, livestock,horticulture, fisheries, and rural roads subcomponents and for the project asa whole were estimated. The economic life of the project was assumed to be 30years because of the types of investments involved. The institutionaldevelopment component was not evaluated, although its costs were included inthe overall economic evaluation of the project. Because of thepilot nature of the land administration subcomponent, no rate of return (ERR)was calculated. The economic and financial analyses are presented in Annex11.
4.9 Irrigation. Benefits were estimated on the basis of incrementalproduction of paddy, pulses, potatoes, and oilseeds. Economic prices(constant end-1994) for these crops were derived from World Bank commodityprice projections issued in August 1994. Given the projected stagnation infood grain production, India was assumed to be a marginal net importer.Therefore, import parity prices, after adjusting for port handling and localtransport, were used in the analysis. Prices used are presented in Annex 1.(tables 25 and 26). Irrigation facilities would also support summer andwinter production of vegetables, whose marketing would be enabled by theproject road network.
4.10 Rural Roads. Benefits of this component include reduced vehicleoperating costs and incremental portage and labor resulting from saved traveltime on upgraded roads. These estimates were derived from traffic surveys andprojections on selected roads undertaken by the Public Works Department andconfirmed by the Bank. Unquantifiable benefits from roads would includeincreased incidence of literacy with greater access to schools, accessibilityto medical and health care facilities, accessibility to post offices and mini-banks, and employment opportunities in road construction and maintenance.
4.11 Livestock. Because of improvements to the breeding stock, milkproduction would increase from the present 640 million liters per year to 780million liters at full development. In addition, the protein intake of therural population would improve as a result of the project.
4.12 Fisheries. The project would increase fish production by about3,000 tons annually. As a result rural incomes and nutritional value of foodintake would increase. Because of increased fish production, the market priceof fish is expected to fall to affordable levels, particularly for urbandwellers with low incomes.
-32-
4.13 Horticulture. As a result of crop diversification to high-valuehorticultural crops, about 8,250 hectares of marginal lands would be used for
production of arecanut, coconut, papaya, bananas, and oranges. With improvedyields, total annual incremental production is estimated to be 85,000 tons,which would be marketed readily using improved roads. In addition, backyardgardens for vegetable production would increase.
4.14 Project economic costs were derived from detailed cost tables(summarized in Annex 5, tables 1 to 5), excluding taxes and pricecontingencies. After the implementation period, recurrent costs weremaintained at a constant level for the economic life of the project. It wasassumed that Vehicles and machinery and equipment associated with roadmaintenance would be replaced every five years. Because rural roads yieldbenefits to sectors other than agriculture that could not be estimated, onlyone-half of the cost of road construction and maintenance was included in theeconomic evaluation. On-farm production costs were derived from crop budgets(Annex 11, tables 1 to 18), with assumed conservative and gradual yieldincreases and adoption of improved farming practices as a result ofavailability of production inputs such as irrigation water, fertilizers, andpesticides.
4.15 Recurrent costs for fish and livestock production were estimatedfrom individual enterprise budgets used in the ERR. All local costs(including market prices for locally traded products such as milk, fish,fruits, and vegetables) were converted to border values by using a standardconversion factor of 0.9. ERRs for irrigation, roads, livestock, fisheries,and horticulture activities were estimated to be 57%, 33%, 21%, 22%, and 66%,respectively. The ERR for the project as a whole was estimated to be 24%,which is a weighted average of the individual components' ERRs. The netpresent value of the project, discounted at the opportunity cost of capital of12%, is estimated to be Rs 2,423 million (US$78 million).
4.16 Sensitivity Analyses. Tests were performed on the ERR of theproject as a whole. Cost overruns and delays in accrued incremental benefitscould occur, notwithstanding built-in safeguards in the project. Certainassumptions were introduced in the analysis and sensitivity tests performed.Results are summarized below:
Test Variations ERR NPV(Rs M)
Base Case 24% 2,423Benefits down 10% 22% 1,946Benefits down 15t 21% 1,707Costs up 10% 22% 2,188Benefits lagged 2 years 18% 1,381Benefits down 10% and costs up 10% 20% 1,711
4.17 The overall project ERR is reasonably robust to increases in costsand reductions in benefits. Nevertheless, special arrangements, such asidentification and preparation of the first-year program, includingretroactive financing, have been made to accelerate start-up activities andminimize implementation delays.
4.18 SwitchinQ value tests show that project costs would have toincrease by more than 110% or benefits would have to drop by more than SO0 forthe NPV to fall to zero or the ERR to fall to 12%. The intensive preparationand detailed work in estimating the cost of individual items make thesesituations unlikely. Further more, conservative estimates of yields andproduction were used in evaluating the benefits.
Environmental Impact
4.19 An environmental analysis of the project was carried out byreviewing each component using guidelines in the Bank's Operational Directive4.0. Based on this analysis, the project was categorized as "B" (Annex 18).The project would have an overall positive impact on the environment throughimprovement of agricultural practices and land management. The ProjectImplementation Unit would hire an environmentalist who would haveresponsibility for developing and implementing guidelines for monitoring allproject activities for potential negative environmental impact and advising onmitigating measures. If necessary, technical assistance would be sought fromgovernment agencies, such as the Pollution Control Board (for water qualitymonitoring), the Department of Science, Technology, and Environment, and theAssam Council for Science, Technology, and the Environment.
4.20 The only possible negative environmental impact of the projectcould be soil erosion caused by road construction. To minimize thispossibility, the project was designed with appropriate mitigating actions.
These actions include:
(a) sensitizing government staff and user groups to the hazards of poorenvironmental protection;
(b) minimizing, and in some cases avoiding, land acquisition andpenalizing road projects with negative environmental effects in ascreening process; and
(c) monitoring the incidence of disease and destroying vector breedingareas, for example cleaning ponds for fish production to eliminatebreeding grounds for mosquitoes and vectors for malaria parasites.
Imoact on Women
4.21 Women in Assam play a major role in agriculture and appear eager tobe involved in new income-generating activities, but they lack resources and
-34-
technical knowledge to initiate and sustain new enterprises. The GOA'sorganized support services for women are largely directed toward welfare andchild care. In an effort to reverse the trend, socially oriented NGOs areactively involved in training more women in the skills needed to participatein economic activities. The need to create more jobs for women is evengreater in the wage labor market in Assam where they are poorly represented.Of the total employment of 1 million at the end of March 1989, less than 0.3million, or 301, were women.
4.22 The productive role of women varies significantly in the projectarea depending on the economic status of each family in the village. The vastmajority of women do a significant amount of manual work, including buildingroad, collecting fuel wood, marketing farm produce, and performing householdchores. women are also responsible for ensuring adequate nutrition for theirfamilies. Therefore, investments under the project such as improvement in theinfrastructure (rural roads), and the production of livestock, fish, fruits,and vegetables would contribute to the welfare of women. Involving femalebeneficiaries in project planning, including selection of activities and theirlocation, would give them an opportunity to express their views on thoseissues that affect them most. Also, women in the project area would savetravel time to perform household errands, which could be deployed for moreproductive and lucrative purposes. Women would also benefit from increasedincomes from milk and fish production. In general, women laborers wouldbenefit from significantly enhanced employment opportunities.
4.23 To ensure that women participate actively in the design, planningand, implementation of project activities, a position for a women'sdevelopment officer would also be created in the Project Implementation Unit.This officer would be an active member of the project management and wouldensure that the project provides women with appropriate training in awarenessof their role and benefits, organization and management and technical skills(see Annex 10). Support would also be provided to women's groups forinnovative economic initiatives consistent with project objectives.
Cost Recoverv
4.24 Full cost recovery from beneficiaries for all activities would notbe feasible under this project because of the high incidence of poverty andthe extent of subsidies in the project area. However, because the GOA'sbudgetary resources are constrained and would not be able to ensuresustainability of investments in the project area, cost recovery would beintroduced. For investments including fisheries development in farmers'ponds, community tanks, shallow tube wells and introductory horticulturalproduction, beneficiaries would be required to pay a proportion of the cost ofestablishment.
4.25 During the construction period, beneficiaries organized into usersgroups or individual farmers would contribute at least 30% of the investmentcost of any irrigation scheme, fish pond, or community fish tank. This
-35-
contribution could be direct cash payment or in-kind payment (e.g., labor).After the construction phase, the assets would be transferred to beneficiarieswho would be responsible for the full O&M cost. For large fish beels, thefull cost of construction would be recovered from the private or cooperativeoperators, who would also be responsible for repair and maintenance of thefish assets leased to them. Regarding seedlings for horticultural developmentand artificial insemination for the livestock improvement program,beneficiaries would pay over time the full cost of the material and service.
4.26 Incremental income from project investments would justify such costrecoveries. Because beneficiaries would be involved in the project planningprocess, including selection of activities and their location, and would ownand operate some of these assets, they would have the incentive to collectuser charges from their fellow members to extend the usefulness of theirassets.
Sustainability
4.27 Once completed, project activities would be sustained. Incrementalstaffing would be kept to the minimum, and additional recurrent costs would bewithin manageable limits. Most of the assets created by the project would betransferred to the beneficiaries, who would operate the assets and share thecost of operation and maintenance. Production assets in horticulture,fisheries, and livestock would be supported through ongoing research andextension services. Local NGOs would continue to support water user groups inmanaging tube wells and ponds constructed under the project. The improvedpolicy environment, especially for marketing and processing, would providefinancial incentives for the groups to maintain their newly acquired assets.Rural roads would be maintained by the GOA out of its state budget; throughthe project, the GOA would have prepared a state policy and financingarrangements for road repair and maintenance [para 2.15(b)].
Risks
4.28 The project faces four major risks:
(a) Funding. Poor budgetary support could slow down implementation.To minimize the risk, the GOA would submit an annual budget andcommit itself to improve cost recovery and establish adequatefinancial control measures that would be monitored during projectimplementation. Funding needed for O&M would be the responsibilityof the beneficiaries. Pace of implementation, quality ofconstruction, and delivery of services would be monitored by localNGOs and reported to concerned agencies every six months.
(b) Policy Reform and Commitment. Timely and effective implementationand adherence by the GOA to the agreed policy reforms are crucialto the success of the project. To minimize the risk, tangibleproof of readiness to implement the reforms has already been
-36-
demonstrated in the preparation of the state agricultural strategypaper and the steps already taken to implement the items describedin the policy matrix. Implementation of policy reforms would bereflected in the GOA's annual work plans and budgets for Bankreview. There would be close Bank supervision to ensure that datedcovenants associated with the reforms are met. Despite the built-in safeguards, however, implementation of policy reform could bedelayed or even modified due to political events. Generalelections will be held in 1996, and the political scenario in thecountry is changing fast. Announcements of populistic measuresinvolving hand-outs from public funds are increasing markedly. Itwould be unrealistic to expect that Assam would not be influencedby this political trend.
(c) Institutional Capacit . The success of the project depends onactive participation of local and national NGOs. There is the riskthat such participation may be slow to materialize, and governmentbureaucracy may delay the transfer of new assets to the farmingcommunities. Also, institutional weakness could pose risks forproject implementation. Quality of works (construction andmaintenance of rural roads) could suffer from inadequate staffing,supervision, and standard enforcement. To enhance quality ofconstruction, the project would provide technical assistance totrain and motivate staff.
(d) Security. The security situation in Assam may delay field visits,implementation, and timely supervision and monitoring. Projectactivities and investment programs would be restricted to areaswhere security problems are minimal. Active involvement ofbeneficiaries (FMCs, WUA, etc) in the decision-making process andtheir ownership of the project should reduce the security risk.
4.29 With GOA's commitment and demonstrated support, and with built-insafeguards for sustaining operations, the project has a chance of succeeding.
V. AGREEMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 During negotiations the following agreements were obtained that theGOA would:
(a) ensure that project implementing departments/agencies maintainseparate accounts for all components supported under the projectand implement proposed audit arrangements (para 2.33);
(b) contract with NGOs selected according to criteria agreed with theAssociation to participate in project activities (para 3.8);

Annex 1.
ASSAM RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
General Features of Assam
Irrigation
1. The Brahmaputra valley covers 70t of the total area of the state.Total food requi-rement by the year 2000 would be 6.3 million tons for thestate population of about 28.5 millions. The additional food requirementwould be about 2.5 million tons of which rice would account for about 2.2million tons. To increase future rice production sufficient to feed theprojected population, the cropping intensity must be enhanced to more than. 200t by extending irrigation.
2. Most of the rain in Assam falls between May/June andSeptember/October. As a consequence, supplementary irrigation during the drymonths becomes necessary if cropping intensity is to be increased. Undernormal circumstances, floods affect about 0.4 million ha annually. It isestimated that 0.3 million ha of cropped areas are flood prone, thoughoccasionally about one million ha are affected by floods. As a result,farmers in the flood prone areas need a winter crop with irrigation to sustain
themselves.
3. Out of the total geographic area of about 7.8 million ha, totalcultivable area is about 2.7 million ha. Surface water potential is 1.7million ha consisting of about one million ha under major/medium projects andthe rest under minor projects. Total ground water potential is estimated tobe one million ha, accounted for by 5,000 deep tube wells -DTWs-(0.2 millionha), 241,700 shallow tube wells-STWs-(0.7 million ha) and 141,000 dug wells(less than 0.1 million ha). However out of 1142 existing DTWs only about 620or 54% are operating at less than 25% efficiency. The poor performance ofthese DTWs is partly caused by frequent power-cuts in the agricultural areas.In most cases power supply is provided for 2-3 hours per day instead of therequired time of 6-8 hours. Because of the poor supply of electricity, GOAdoes not plan to develop new DTWs during the next decade.
4. In the case of STWs, about 49,735 have been installed by the AssamState Minor Irrigation Development Corporation (ASMIDC) through a NABARDrefinanced scheme. Due to poor recovery of the loans from farmers, theoutstanding repayments with ASMIDC have become unmanageable (Rs 403 million).As a result, ASMIDC virtually stopped all STW activities in the state. Tocontinue- the program, the Agriculture Department took over the task ofinstalling STWs through the Community Irrigation Project (CIP) supported byGOI subsidy scheme, which has also stopped for lack of resources and poorperformance.
5. Other problems associated with the supply of electricity to theirrigation schemes are those of overdue payments. As of 1994, the IrrigationDepartment owed Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) about Rs 102 million.About 30t of the overdue is accounted for by public DTWs and 70t by SurfaceLift schemes (SLs). Some of the overdue amounts are a result of "flat rate"
-39-
charges imposed by ASEB on irrigation schemes irrespective of the powerconsumed. It is a practice for ASEB to charge Rs.30/month/unit for the DTWsand Sls even when no power was consumed. Despite the inadequate billingsystem, ASEB is planning to increase power rates for agriculture from Rs 0.88to Rs 1.60/unit due to the high cost of generation which is about Rs.2.61/unit. The proposed increase would make electricity rates in the stateuniform with those for domestic consumers, currently paying Rs. 1.61/unit.
6. Because there was no mechanism in place for collection of watercharges, the revenue collected by the Irrigation Department has always beennegligible. To correct the problem, GOA issued a notification in June 1992 tofix and collect water charges from beneficiaries of all irrigation schemes.The per hectare irrigation charges for a Kharif crop is Rs. 140.62, Wheat Rs.281.25, Early Ahu and Ahu Rs. 375.50. Total charges per annum amount to Rs.797.37 per hectare. These charges are less than the actual cost ofirrigation. It is estimated the annual cost of irrigating one hectare isabout Rs. 1310 for STWs, Rs 2449 in the case of DTWs, Rs 4324 for Surfacelifts(Sls), and Rs 2508 for diversion schemes.
7. With-electricity, the irrigation cost per hectare per annum isestimated to be Rs 870 for STW, Rs 1550 for DTW, and Rs 1258 for Sls. In thecase of diesel pumps the cost is estimated to be Rs 1740, Rs 3560, and Rs 3200per hectare per annum respectively. For diversion schemes it would be Rs 704per ha per annum. These amounts exclude the establishment cost of theIrrigation Department, which is estimated to be Rs. 200 per hectare per annum.
B. The Central Ground Water Board has estimated through its 462 workstations the annual recharge of ground water in the valley. The hydrographsshow a peak followed by a recession limb. The recession limb in the postmonsoon period is steep during August to October months and gentle duringNJovember - April. The steep limb indicates that whatever the rise in thegroundwater level, a major part dissipates during the monsoon periodmaintaining a constant level on average through out the year. Recharges basedon pre-as well as post-monsoon levels have been used to estimate the districtwise annual recoverable recharge. Existing data has established that aquifersget fully recharges by July - August and additional water in the ground goesas reject recharge.
Roads
9. Excluding National highways and those main roads whose improvementis funded by the North East Council (NEC), there is a network of about 7,300km of surfaced roads and 23,700 km of graveled roads maintained by the statePWD. There is also a total length of about 148,000 m of timber bridges.Chronic under funding of road maintenance which has persisted for many years(about one third of the Finance Commission's recommended level of funding hasbeen actually budgeted) has caused the road network to be in a distressfulcondition. Most of these roads are long overdue for rehabilitation and alarge number of the timber bridges have long past their economic life and arein a dangerous condition.
-40-
10. In addition to the PWD-maintained network of roads, there isanother network of roads comprising about 7,200 km at the village level in therural areas, built by the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA). Theseroads are vital as they link small villages with the State road network.These roads were labor-intensively built, partly as a means of employmentgeneration, but were not in compliance with accepted specifications. As aresult, PWD has been reluctant to assume responsibility for their maintenance.
11. It is important to note however, that most roads in Assam were notbuilt according to designed specifications particularly in regard toembankment placement and compaction. This initial construction deficiency hasbeen compounded over the years by lack of maintenance funds (for example: overthe last four years, the budget allocation for road maintenance has beendeclining from 23% of the required amount to about 9%.), thereby causing adeplorable condition of the entire road network in the state.
Land holding and Cropping Pattern
12. The average farm size of 1.3 hectares is the smallest in thecountry and declining. Despite the small land holdings, they are furtherfragmented into 3-4 parcels making them uneconomic units to support theaverage family size of five. The cropping pattern which is dominated by paddyof long maturity periods tends to limit the cropping intensity to less than145 percent. Given the high rainfall in the area, this cropping intensity isalso considerably low.
Rural Credit
13. Lack of access to credit by small-entrepreneurs and small farmerstends to perpetuate poverty. For farmers to have flexibility in the riskyfarming environment, they need access to production inputs and sufficientincome or credit to acquire them.
14. In the case of Assam, because of small land holdings, poor landrecord keeping by the revenue office and the lengthy process of granting loansby commercial banks, the majority of small farmers do not qualify for credit.The few who qualify do not repay their loans promptly. As a result, smallfarmers fail to adopt new agricultural technology, such as the use offertilizer and hybrid seed, which could be facilitated through credit.
Fisheries Development
15. The potential for fish production in Assam is enormous with anestimated area of over 300,000 hectares of water bodies, including rivers,beels, tanks and ponds, swamps and a reservoir. The current annual productionis estimated to be 150,000 tons against actual demand of over 250,000 tons.The present per capita consumption of fish is estimated to be 6-7 kilograms,which is well below the nutritional requirement of about 10-12 kilograms percapita. Because of the high demand of fish in the state, the price of fishranges between Rs. 40-60 per kilogram, which is relatively high for mostconsumers.
-41-
Horticulture
16. Assam has a great potential for expansion of horticulturalproduction. Out of net cultivable area of 2.7 million hectares less than 20percent is under horticultural crops, mostly grown as homestead gardens.Commercial cultivation of horticultural crops faces a numDer of constraintsincludipig poor quality of planting material, long gestation ppriods of commonspecies in the area, heavy initial investment, lack oftechnical packages, inadequate extension service, weak post-harvestinfrastructure and poor roads and transportation system for marketing.
Livestock Development
17. Despite the large population of livestock in Assam (estimated to be7.5 million of which more than one million could be improved), its -
productivity is low mainly because of the poor genetic potential andinadequate nutrition. To increase annual milk and meat production from about640 million liters and 13,000 tons respectively, the GOA existing program isdesigned to improve the indigenous dairy cattle by cross-breeding with exoticanimals. GOA believes this can be achieved through a combination of the useof purchased frozen pure Jersey semen, bulls of exotic breed and a 50 tJersey-indigenous frozen semen from elite local bulls.
Extension service
18. Provision of agricultural extension service in the state is theresponsibility of the Department of Agriculture. The department functionsthrough Agricultural Extension Officers in-charge of districts and subjectmatter specialists and local level cadres, Village Level Extension Workers(VLEWs). The extension system applied is that of Training and Visit (T&V)promoted and supported by the Bank through the National Agricultural ExtensionProjects. Though the schematic arrangement of the provision of extensionservice is impressive, the Training and Visit (T&V) system has becomeineffective because of the growing multi-function responsibility of theextension agents contrary to the concept of the system itself. Additionally,the system lacks viable technological messages to convey to the farmer.
19. The training program for extension workers is based on simplerepetitive messages, which are only appropriate for promoting technologicalpackages of a single crop. The training is not responsive to needs ofdiversification at the farm level. Extension workers need to be trained todeliver multiple messages, advise on a large variety of crops and providemarket information, all in the same regular visits.
20. In Assam, VLEWs are assisted by multi-purpose Field ManagementCommittees (FMC) covering 2-3 villages. So far, there are more than 10,000registered FMCs in the state responsible for over 22,000 villages.To improve the effectiveness of the extension service, GOA plans to use FMCsas probe groups to keep the department activities on the right track andensure farmers' involvement in planning and implementation of agriculturalschemes. Using a group approach would be a new dimension of using extensionservice as a broad based tool for technology transfer.
-42-
Public Expenditure
21. Tue objective of the state development plan was to reduce theincidence of poverty from 52% of the population living below the poverty linein 1978 to 23% in 1990 and-10% by 1995. Additionally, the plan was to reducethe rural population dependent on agriculture (currently estimated to be 70%of the population) to small scale industries by 10-15S. To achieve this, GOAdecided to direct public expenditure to rural development activities.
22. Though physical and financial targets were achieved by 1992, theincidence of poverty remained unchanged. Development expenditure was divertedto provide short-term relief, including employment generating activities andsupport to rural programs. Effective programs could not be promoted due toweaknesses in the implementation machinery.
23. The focus of implementation of the rural programs was directedtowards providing financial assistance to as many people as possible withoutregard to the long-term objective of poverty reduction. More effectivemonitoring and control systems were not in place to ensure the need forincreasing the productive capacity of the target groups. Basically, thefinancial assistance was used as unemployment allowances for the ruralpopulation.
24. Because of the short term objectives of the programs, there was asignificant increase in revenue expenditure, crowding out expenditure forcapital formation across all sectors, including agriculture. In most cases,subsidies accounted for most of the revenue expenditure increase. The growthin expenditure was also caused by increased salaries and wages and to alimited extent, increases in operation and maintenance of fixed assets. Theextent of subsidies varied between 50 and 100% depending on -the type ofactivity and source of finance. Activities supported by GOI were fullysubsidized and those by GOA were paid for by beneficiaries up to 50% of thecost.
25. Despite the high subsidy rates for crop production inputs, such asseeds of high yielding varieties (HYV) and fertilizers, their up take remainedlow partly because of the limitations on the quantity handled by licenseddistributors. The process of obtaining licenses was also long and cumbersome.License holders are required to maintain separate registers for subsidizedinputs which are sold at fixed prices set by government. Invariably, theseprices do not cover local transport and handling expenses and bank charges,including interest on borrowed funds for input purchases. Even depreciationand profit margins were not factored in the price estimate.
26. Though part of the revenue expenditure was for O&M, more than 50%of the increase went to salaries and wages. As a result, public assets in thestate continue to deteriorate for lack of adequate maintenance. TheIntegrated Rural Development Projects (IRDP) are given priority in statebudgets for two main reasons. Firstly, the projects are supported by thecentral government and are a source of funds for the state, and secondly theseprojects are supposed to support families below the poverty line, which isconsistent with the overall state development objective. During the last five
-43-
year development plan, more than 80% of the actual expenditure in the statewas allocated to rural development projects. For example, in 1991/92 alone,about 83t of the budget or an equivalent of Rs. 172 million was spent on ruraldevelopment related activities.
27. - Despite large sums of money are spent on rural programs, thequality of life of the target group continued to decline. Also, financingfrom the center, which is expected to cover more than 50% of the IRDP budget,was not released as planed, causing additional strain on the state budgetleading to unfinished projects.
Sources of State Revenue
28. Public funds in the state include receipts from cost recoveries,grants, loans, cess and surcharges, taxes and non-tax sources. Cost recoveryfor various sectors has remained low for many years. There have been no watercharges paid by farmers from public irrigation schemes and new tariffs set forpower have been introduced recently. The mechanism for cost recovery isbasically non existent.
Center and State Financing
29. Public expenditure in the agriculture and allied sectors isallocated in plan and non-plan schemes, central sector schemes and centralsponsored schemes. State plan and non plan schemes are entirely financed bythe state budget while central sector schemes are wholly funded by the centralgovernment. In the centrally sponsored schemes, the proportion of central andstate funds varies between schemes and sectors. Some of the central sponsoredactivities are supported by loans and grants specifically assigned to thoseschemes.
30. Most of the expenditure in the state plan and non-plan schemes issupported by the state budget. However, capital expenditure is shared betweenthe state and the center depending on the type of scheme concerned. Ingeneral, revenue has tended to be smaller than expenditure. It is worthynoting that whenever expenditure was incurred from a loan amount, this wasprovided for in the state plan. In most cases, loans were used to financeschemes in the crop husbandry sector. Only in exceptional cases were loanfunds used to finance dairy and fisheries development activities. It wasclear in the analysis of the public expenditure in the state that thecomposition of expenditure was highly variable and showed no trend. This outcome underscores the poor quality of planning and resource allocationmechanism in the state government bureaucracy.
Public Enterprises
31. Most public enterprises in agriculture and allied sectors fail toaccomplish their stated objectives. They are more involved in activitiesoutside their jurisdiction. Their financial performance has also beenunsatisfactory. The operating expenses-have out stripped revenue. Themanagement of the working capital has also been inadequate, maintaining highlevels of slow moving inventories and poor collection rates of receivables.
-44-
Most of thexe organizations have poor gearing ratios exhibiting high debtequity ratios and are involved in non-profitable operations. Because of thepoor performance, many _enterprises have survived through massive infusion ofpublic funds in the form of grants and loans from government.
32. Despite vast fertile agricultural land and abundant rainfall overthe successive plan periods, Assam continues to remain economically backwardand poor. The state imports food grains equivalent to Rs.7,000 millionannually. This amount could be invested in the state for further developmentif the state was self sufficient in food grains.
Subsidies
33. The state government spends large sums of money in providingsubsidies to farmers f6r agricultural inputs including, fertilizers,irrigation water, electricity and credit. During 1990 alone, GOA spent morethan Rs. 100 million on subsidies for seed, fertilizer and farm implements.However; from the 1970s, fertilizer has continued to be subsidized by GOIthrough a nationwide fertilizer subsidy scheme. In addition to the generalsubsidy for these inputs, GOA provides special subsidies for fertilizers,seeds, farm machinery, small implements to identified needy farmers throughvarious state agricultural development programs.
34. The main target group for these special subsidies include marginaland small farmers. The subsidy rates range between 25% for small implements,50t for fertilizers and 100t for irrigation water. The selection of themarginal and small farmers depends on their "land based economic identity",which creates a latitude for abuse by administrators of the subsidy program.
35. A separate study (Impact of Subsidies on Agricultural Developmentin Assam by the state Agricultural University) established that, withdrawal ofsubsidies in agriculture would lead to insignificant drop in the StateDomestic Product. However, given the high opportunity cost of capital in thestate due to scarcity of resources, the marginal return on investment for thesubsidy amount in other activities would be enormous.
Agricultural Inputs
36. Fertil"ii. Nitrogenous fertilizers in Assam are manufactured byPublic Corporations which also market about 80% of their production throughsister organizations in Guwahati, the state capital. Though the remainingquantity of fertilizer is distributed by private dealers under license, theprice of fertilizer is still controlled and set by government. Because of thesubsidy element in the pricing structure of the fertilizer, and the laboriousprocedures for obtaining licenses, private distributors are discouraged fromhandling this commodity, particularly in remote areas where distribution costsare relatively high.
37. Assam farmers consume the lowest quantity of fertilizers in thecountry. Between 1987 and 1992, fertilizer consumption averaged 8 kilogramsper hectare, with the highest level attained in 1991 mainly due to extenxivecampaign including increased subsidy from 10 to 20 percent of the fertilizer
-45-
price. Other factors limiting the use of fertilizer in the state is the poorinfrastructure for input delivery and inadequate control of water forirrigation. It is estimated only 20 percent of the cropped area is irrigatedannually.
38. - The responsibility for fertilizer procurement and distribution lieswith the public sector organizations (Assam Agro-Industries DevelopmentCorporation-AAIDC, and STATFED). However, most of the fertilizer is divercedto the tea plantations (preferred customers) leaving small quantities for foodgrain production. Though farmers understand the benefit of using fertilizers,the product is either.not available when required or it is the wrong type whendelivered. This situation is caused by liquidity problems of the stategovernment which is unable to finance fertilizer procurement, and the poormarket analysis by public sector corporations handling fertilizersdistribution, to determine actual demand.
39. Seeds. As for HYV, the level of adoption has also lagged behindmainly because of unavailability of suitable early maturing varieties ofcereals including paddy which is the main grain crop. Because of the specialclimate and soils in the state, agricultural technologies including improvedcrop varieties developed in other parts of the country have proven to beunsuitable in Assam.
40. The government of Assam established the Assam Seeds Corporationlate in 1960s to produce and distribute seeds in the state. The corporationproduces certified and foundation seeds in its own farms and distributes itthrough the Department of Agriculture. However, in exceptional cases, it sub-contracts registered private growers to produce certified paddy seed. As inthe case of fertilizers, subsidies discourage private dealers from handlingseed as well.
41. The responsibility for breeder seed production lies exclusivelywith the Assam Agricultural University (AAU). Though certified seed isproduced by ASC, Department of Agriculture and private seed growers, itscertification is done by another agency, the Assam State Seed CertificationAgency (ASSCA). Nevertheless, the responsibility for seed procurement fromother states and agencies still lies with ASC. Actual distribution to farmersis handled by village level farmers cooperative organizations (Gaon PanchayatSamabay Samathi-GPSS). Because of the large number of players involved in theseed industry, logistical problems render the system ineffective. Efforts tostrengthen seed production can not succeed unless the distribution system isstreamlined through the private sector.
Land Tenure
42. Assam state introduced Land reform laws since India's independencein 1947. Their objective was to protect share croppers from indiscriminateeviction. The laws provide tenants the right of occupation and cultivation ofthe land for 3-5 years. The laws also established crop-rent to be paid bytenants.
-46-
43. The state enacted Land Ceiling and Consolidation Acts to limit thesize of land holding for equity reason and provide economic unitsfor agricultural production. Because of the weak administrative structure andpoor land records, enforcing the laws is difficult.
44. - Also, Communal land laws exist which restrict unauthorized use ofopen grazing lands for other purpose. The government charges grazing fees onsuch lands. Because the rates charged are so low, there is no incentive forfarmers to reduce the population-of livestock and increase their productivity.
Marketing and Croo Movement
45. The poor marketing infrastructure for agricultural produce in thestate is caused by underdeveloped transport and communication, inadequateprovision of institutional credit in rural areas, lack of market informationand inadequate storage facilities. As a result production of high valuecrops, such as fruits and vegetables and increased production of grains ishampered despite the existing potential.
46. In an effort to improve the price of agricultural produce, GOAestablished Regulated Markets for major crops, under the Assam AgriculturalMarket Act of 1972. These markets provide facilities such as storage,weighing scales, and act as produce collection centers for whole salemarketing. Some of these centers are terminal markets for produce destined tolarger out of state markets. However, the poor marketing arrangements causedmostly by government intervention, and sometimes the need for trans-shipmentat rail road terminals because of different rail gauges; high handling costsreduce the final price paid to producers.
47. Under the Essential Commodities Act, GOA has enacted lawsrestricting movement of paddy, rice, pulses and oilseeds outside the state andempowered public agencies to be sole buyers of such produce. The statutoryprices paid to growers are in most cases lower than market prices. Though theobjective of public control over marketable surplus was to eliminate pricefluctuations in the market and ensure availability of produce to consumers at"reasonable price", the effort has nevertheless failed to abolish privatemarkets. Because of government controls, private dealers create artificialscarcity of certain commodities to exploit consumers. In such an arrangement,neither farmers nor consumers benefit from government intervention.
Aaro-Processina
48. - Agro-processing of certain products is controlled by issuance oflicenses. The control includes basic commodities, such as rice mill, flourmill, sugar mill, edible oils, refined rice bran oil, processed foodindustries including biscuits, bakery products etc,. Similarly, fruit andvegetable processing requires a license whose application must be made on aprescribed form, with a long waiting period for approval.
49. The Essential Commodities Act even prescribes methods ofpreparation of beverages from pulp or extraction of juices from fully ripe andsound fruits, etc. Even when licenses are issued at relatively high fees,
-47-
frequent government inspection discourages entrepreneurs from establishingadditional agro-processing units.

ASSAM-RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
RURAL ROADS
- TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CONSULTANTS FOR CONTRACT SUPERVISION
Background
1. The Government of India has applied for a Loan/Credit from theWorld Bank/IDA on behalf of the Government of Assam for a Rural Infrastructureand Agricultural Services Project (RIASP). The project would replace withpermanent materials unserviceable timber bridges and the upgrade rural/villageroads where improved access would enhance development of the agriculturesector in general and the mobility of the rural population. In concentratingin high potential areas of the state, the selection of roads was limited toonly six districts, including: Lakhimpur, Darrang, Nagaon, Sibsagar, Kamrupand Cachar. The roads concerned would be constructed in trenches to becompleted over eight-years.
2. The roads are to be constructed to geometric and pavement standardsfor rural roads as prescribed in the publications of the Indian RoadsCongress. Bridges for village roads with low traffic would be single lane inpermanent materials. The project also provides for the maintenance of theseroads and bridges during the project period.
3. The road works are divided into separate contract packages for eachdistrict each costing about Rs. 20 to 30 million. The works are to be awardedon the basis of the World Bank's standard LCB document as agreed between theBank and GOI. As is now standard for World Bank-funded road works elsewherein India the contract works are to be supervised by a consultant appointed incompliance with the World Bank's Guidelines for the Procurement ofConsultants' Services. The PWD may wish to second selected staff to workunder the consultant's authority to gain experience, but this would be amatter for mutual agreement. Should the consultant be expatriate, it may beuseful for that firm to take into joint venture a local firm, knowledgeable inIndian conditions.
Obiectives
4. The objectives of contract supervision through consultant serviceswould be to:
(a) ensure that the conditions of contract and specifications of theworks are administered by personnel whose experience in all theaspects of the contract works and administration has been assuredin the consultant's proposal; and
(b) promote technology transfer to PWD staff who may be seconded or tolocal consultants with whom joint venture arrangements may be made.
-53-

5. The consultant will have overall responsibility for ensuring thesatisfactory progress and completion of the contracts' works in compliancewith the specifications and terms and conditions of the contract. Tenders forthe contract works will be invited by the Chief Engineer, PWD, Guwahati. Theconsultant will prepare an evaluation report on the bids received forsubmission to the Chief Engineer before the selection of the lowest evaluatedbidder has been made and the report award recommendations sent to the WorldBank for approval.

Soils and water management Studv
Terms of reference
1. The purpose of the study is to: 1. review the soil and watermanagement constraints to production in the six agro climatic zones of thestate and 2. suggest appropriate technological packages and social actionprocess designed to enhance productive use and sustainability of the naturalresources.
BackaTrounad
2. Rice based farming system is dominant in Assam. Despite areasonably well distributed and high rainfall of about 2000 mm per year, quitefavorable for double cropping, the crop intensity in the state is low and perHa rice yield is poor just around 1000 Kgs/ha. Flooding, ill-drainedconditions, cloudy weather during main crop season, and poor agronomicpractices are attributed as chief causes for this poor performance.
3. Rice yields are high during summer season. Potentials for betterland use through diversified cropping exist in summer. For expanding areaunder cultivation during this favorable season supplementary irrigation isrequired. But land-holdings in Assam are small, farmers are resource poor andare not able to invest on supplementary irrigation facilities. Earlierattempts by GOA in installing and operating Public tube-wells for irrigationhave not been successful. In a few cases farmers have come togethervoluntarily, formed FMCs, installed tube-wells collectively and diversifiedcropping successfully. Can this be repeated on a larger scale?
4. Soils in Assam are generally acidic. Deficiency of minor elementsare widespread. Soil fertility is poor. Application of inorganic fertilizersis pretty low; incorporation of organic manures is not practiced on anysignificant scale. Added to this the seasonal rains remove and wash off thetop soil thereby depleting the soil fertility. This trend needs to be arrestedand reversed.
s. Great potentials exist in the state for livestock, fisheries andsericulture development. Efforts to diversify cropping, introduce viableintegrated farming systems and maximize natural resource use through atechnology package have not been adequate. To design and promote such changesGOA has established Regional research stations, Field testing centers, soilsurvey units and introduced broad based extension approach. Activities ofthese organizations need to be coordinated and focussed towards securingbetter results.
6. In Assam land holdings are small and scattered. Pressure on land ishigh. For efficient natural resource management besides individual enterprise
-64-
collective group action is considered as critical. Local institution buildingthrough formal as well as informal channels needs to be encouraged to promotesustained natural resource management.
ADDroach:
7. The study should address these issues, agro- climatic region-wise.Specifically it should review:
(a) Land use pattern and farm budgees;
(bi Major problems on soil fertility, soil erosion, and watermanagement;
(c) Prevailing system for common land and other resources management;
(d) Status of soil survey and fertility mapping;
(e) Status of ground water survey;
Cf) Functions, effectiveness and contribution of the regional researchstations and field testing stations;
(g) Potentials for better land and water use;
(h) Grassroots institutions, both formal and informal, involved innatural resource management and their effectiveness; and
(i) Public policies influencing soil and water management.
8. On the basis of the review the study should propose a technologypackage to improve soil fertility and water use management. It should alsosuggest measures to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the publicinstitutions involved in technology generation and transfer.
9. In addition the study should come out with a social action packagedesigned to implement the technological approach through close involvement ofthe beneficiaries and their informal groups.
10. Public policies which would need to be adjusted to assisttechnology adoption and peoples involvement should also be pointed out.
11. Draft findings of the study should be discussed in a seminar thatwill be organized by the PD- PIU. Final report should take in view theobservations of the seminar and ten copies of it should be submitted to the PD(PIU)
The duration of the study will be six months.

ASSAM-RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
Marketine Study of High Value Crops
Terms of reference.
1. This study is aimed at reviewing the constraints for marketing ofhigh value-crops in Assam and proposing possible policy, technological,institutional and cost effective investment options for overcoming them. -
Backgro=nd
2. Rice based farming system is predominant in Assam. To promotegrowth and to alleviate rural poverty it is considered essential to diversify, farming and introduce on a significant scale growing of high value crops.Potentials for growing high value crops of fruits, flowers, vegetables andspices exist. But there is hardly any reliable estimates on the quantity andtrends in demand for these commodities within and outside the state to supportinvestments and developmental activities.
3. Besides doubts exist on the viability of large scale investments onhigh value crops due to perceived constraints on marketing. These constraintsinclude: predominance of small holder operation, constant threats from floodsand ill drained conditions, inadequacy of all weather roads, poor ruralstorage facilities, far removed from other major market centers of the countryAnd thereby leading to higher transport costs and delays in delivery, inlandstate with limited export potential, state movement restrictions and taxationpolicies, and inadequate institutional support.
4. A counter argument to the above listed constraints is advanced bywell informed groups that these constraints are overstated and a large volumeof tea grown in the state is moved out efficiently to competitive markets andvariety of materials from fish and eggs to large timber moves every day intothe state from within and outside the country. So it becomes essential tocarefully review the critical bottlenecks in marketing of high value crops anddesign viable methods to overcome those.
Method
5. The consultant should first select a set of high value crops inwhich Assam has a perceived market advantage. The set of crops should then befinalized in consultation with the PIU.
6. In the next stage the demand and supply position and their trendsfor these selected crops within the state and country and in internationalmarkets both in volume and in monetary terms; potentials and viability forexpanding the production of these commodities in Assam; constraints oftechnology, public policies, institutional and infrastructural inadequaciesincluding marketing affecting growth should be assessed. Data for this surveyshould be gathered through primary and secondary sources and interview withestablished interest groups of both producers and traders, policy makers and
-66-
academicians.
7. In the third stage viable options to overcome the perceivedconstraints should be studied and analyzed. This analysis should result informulation of a matrix with specific suggestions for public policy andinstitutional adjustments and broad indications on investments for promotingcrops with definite market advantage.
8. The preliminary observations and suggestions should then bepresented for discussion in a select group of interested and involved people.The PIU will organize this meeting.
9. Benefitting from the group discussion a final report ( 6 copiesl-should be prepared and presented to the PD-PIU.
The study should be completed in a period of six months fromassignment.

ASSAM-RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
AN INDICATIVE LIST OF ACTIVITIES/ISSUES TO BEADDRESSED IN CONSULTATIVE PLANNING
1. Consultative planning would be carried out by implementingdepartments and agencies with the assistance of NGOs, particularly foractivities which would lead to the creation or development of common assets.This would include most irrigation activities, development of fisheries incommunity ponds and wells, fodder development on common lands, and roads. Theintensity of consultative planning would be minimal for the shallow tube welr -
program. For roads, the consultative planning would be confined to planningfor afforestation or other appropriate activities on government lands alongthe roadside, and maintenance of drainage works.
2. The consultative planning would initially be flexible thoughattempts would be made to have common procedures and sequencing implementationof components. An indicative planning module consisting of five steps isattached. For the first three steps the details are component wise. For thelast two steps, a common procedure is indicated, as by this time all thedetails which vary from component to component, would have been discussed andalmost finalized. -
3. If more than one activity is being taken up in the same village,separate plans and MOUs would be prepared for each activity. In such cases,the consultative planning would have been done in a coordinated way.

GRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS)
The project would seek NGO participation to assist in formation of WaterUser Associations, Fishermen Societies and Farmers' Groups; farmermobilization, sensitization and training. GOA would invite from interestedNGOs detailed proposals for collaboration. The GOA would be responsible forreviewing the proposals and agreeing on appropriate mechanisms to involve NoOsin the project. The selection of NGOs would be guided by the followingcriteria:
(a) As part of legal requirements, the NGO should be a registered bodyunder the relevant State Law. It should have meticulous accountsand properly audited annual scatements of income and expenditure.
(b) Since the program involves working with farmers with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds in an agrarian setting, it is essential thatthe NGO has a rural orientation. To avoid creating any biases andmisconceptions in the minds of the people, the NGO should not beaffiliated to any political organization.
(c) As the project requires NGO support for farmer mobilization andfield level management of assets nd resources, the NGO should haveadequate number of field level staff conversant with the locallanguage and customs and having a clear understanding of the socio-economic and political situation of the area. They should alsohave good rapport with the community so as to enthuse and involvethem in developmental activities wholeheartedly. This abilityshould be reflected in some of the projects undertaken ny the NGOearlier. Good communication skills are a requirement.
(d) A prior understanding of the matter under consideration, andexperience in WUA, Fisherman Associations and Farmers' groupsformation and interaction would be an added advantage. Owing to henature and extent of the physical coverage on the program eachselected NGO will be apart of the entire process. Hance the NGOshould be able to interact smoothly with and be a part of he team.
(e) Finally, the NGO should have internal stability so as to assurelong-term support to the project.

IRRIGATION DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Simplified Procedures/Guidelines for Undertaking Rapid Feasibility StudiesAppropriate for the Development of Shallow Tube Wells
Introduction
1. Total number of shallow tube wells to be installed under the scheme willbe 15,000 in a 7 year period covering 18 districts in the state, benefittingan area of 33,000 ha. District-wise distribution of STWs for implementation isgiven in Table 1.
Simplified procedures for rapid feasibility studies
2. Official records from the Chief Engineer (Agriculture) show that 19,618Field Management Committees (FMCs) already exist in 214 blocks of the state.The Agriculture Department should collect information from the FMCs in eachblock, particularly on area cultivated, location, cropping/irrigationintensity, farmer's location & income levels, gender, presence of any otherorganization in the location, FMCs overdue position, number of STWs in thelocation and their performance.
3. A 14 factor scoring method to be adopted using the collected informationto select potential FMCs or individual farmers for installing the STWs ispresented in Table 2. A cumulative score will be computed for each FMC orfarmer as the case may be. FMCs or farmers with higher scores will be givenpriority for STW development over FMCs or farmers with lower scores.
.Imolementation
4. Out of the 15,000 STWs, 90% will be developed through FMCs and 10% onindividual farmer basis. Once the FMCs are ranked based on the above set ofcriteria, FMCs should be motivated to become formal associations byregistration under the Societies Act. Priority during implementation willfollow the order of registration of the FMCs.
5. The Agriculture Department, with the existing infrastructure, will beresponsible for implementing the proposed STW schemes. Implementation shouldbe done through LCB and the Agriculture Department should supervise andprovide technical guidance. The FMCs should be involved in the civil worksrelated to STW installation.
6. The STW program under this project should incorporate the existing STNprogram being implemented by the Agriculture Department under the ConmunityIrrigation Project (CIP) in order to reduce the heavy subsidy inbuilt in the
-122-
Annex 9Attachment lPage 2 of 6
CIP. Because only about 5-10 percent of the FMCs are functioning and selfsustaining, NGOs should be engaged to strengthen the FMCs. NGOs should alsoassist in evolving methods for effective farmer participation in projectimplementation.
7. Since the role of women in farming is gaining increasing recognition inthe state, NGOs and FMCs should encourage women in STW investment. Whereverwomen show interest, they should be given priority over men in selection andimplementation of the STWs program.
8. Before the implementation of the STWs program, a Memorandum OfUnderstanding (MOU) shall be executed by the concerned Secretary and President _of the FMC and the Agriculture Department, in which the FMC assumesresponsibility over the STW scheme and cost recovery as per the conditionsstipulated by the Government. An amount equal to one-third of the totalinvestment for each STW is to be recovered from the beneficiaries in 4installments where the first instalment is to be recovered before theconstruction work starts. The FMC should be responsible for cost recovery (incash or kind) on behalf of the implementing agency. Labour contribution bythe beneficiary farmers during installation should be included in costrecovery computation. The FMC can keep 1 percent of the amount collected as-an incentive. In the case of defaulters, the pump sets to be taken back to theAgriculture Department.
9. In the case of farmer beneficiaries without an FMC, each beneficiaryfarmer should sign an agreement with the implementing agency that he/she willpay one third of the cost of the investment in 4 equal installments and should,operate and maintain the STWs by himself/herself. In the case of defaulters,the pump sets are to be repossessed by the Agriculture Department.
10. Involvement of the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) is recommendedwhich will take care of the ground water budget and spacing between the wellsin the selected locations. The Regional Directorate of the CGWB (Guwahati) isalready conducting detailed studies on recharge, spacing requirements etc..
11. Once the selection of the STW sites and FMCs in all the districts iscompleted by the Agriculture Department, then the CGWB (Guwahati) should beconsulted about the selection and its suggestions should be incorporatedappropriately before implementation. The technical guidelines as recommendedby the CGWB are to be considered while implementing the schemes.
Technical guidelines
12. As per the general guidelines of the CGWB, normally a well assembly of102 mm diameter with 6 to 15 m of slotted pipe of agricultural strainer madeup of galvanized iron pipe has to be lowered into a 150 mm diameter borehole.The wells have to be shrouded with gravel of suitable size. In locations suchas north of Brahmaputra river covering northern parts of Goalpara, Kamrup,Darrang and North Lakhimpur, twin-tube wells with a central pumping systemcould be done instead of conventional boring due to bouldery formations even
-123-
Annex 9Attachment 1Page 3 of 6
at shallow depths of 15 to 20 m below the surface.
13. Pump efficiency is greatly affected by the pump head, hence proper headshould be maintained. For example, with a total head of 6.5 m, the-dischargewill be about 10 liters per second (lps), for 7.5 to 9.5 m, the discharge willbe about 8 lps and for 10 to 12 m head, the discharge will be about 6 lps.Pumps should be installed in such a way that a minimum efficiency of 50 %should be assured. Pumps for STWs should be placed at or near the surface.
14. In the flood plains of the Brahmaputra valley, aquifers are extensiveand prolific with high transmissivity values. Normal spacing is taken as 200m and in other areas such as north of the Brahmaputra river, the spacing istaken as 300 m because of moderate transmissivity resulting in higherdrawdowns. In locations such as Silchar district which are characterized bylow transmissivity, STWs with low discharge design at selected locations whichcould command only about 1 ha could be feasible.
15. STW installation should be done with a combination of GI pipes and PVCpipes. For example, for an STW with a depth of 30 meters, the combination willbe: 3 meter GI pipe, 17 meters PVC pipe and 10 meters iron cum HDP strainer.

IRRIGATION DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Selection Criteria and Guidelines for Rehabilitation ofDeep Tube Wells (DTWsI and River Pumping Schemes(RPSs)
Introduction
1. The total number of DTWs and RPSs to be rehabilitated will be 320 and150, respectively, in a 6 year period covering 23 districts in the state andbenefitting an area of 15,460 ha. Districtwise distribution of DTWs/RPSs forimplementation is given in Tables 1 and 2.
Selection Criteria for DTWs and RPSs for Rehabilitation
2. There are three types of rehabilitation work that need to done: a)installation of equipment on about 622 deep bores that were drilled by theIrrigation Department but had not been fitted with pumpsets and otherequipment; b) repairing about 529 DTWs that are not in working condition dueto major break downs, and c) retrofitting with diesel pumps about 613 DTWsthat are partially utilized due to the intermittent supply of electricity.
3. The Irrigation Department should collect information on the DTWs/RPS ideach category, such as location with respect to transport facilities and otherDTWs/RPSs, average electricity availability, age of the DTWs/RPSs, presence ofFMCs/other organizations, cropping intensity, overdue with FMCs, presence ofany other OTW/RPS scheme, presence of NGOs and performance of the DTWs/RPSs inthe location.
4. An 11 factor scoring method will be adopted using the collectedinformation to select the potential DTW/RPS for rehabilitation (Table 3). Acumulative score will be computed for each DTW/RPS. DTWs/RPSs with highcumulative scores will be selected for rehabilitation.
I ementation
5. The rehabilitation investment for 320 DTWs is to be distributed asfollows: 50% where only deep bores are available; 40 % where OTWs are notworking and 10% where DTWs are partially working. Once the OTWs are ranked ineach of the three categories based on the above set of criteria, farmer groupsor FMCs in each DTW location should be motivated to become formal water usersassociations (WUA) by registration under the Societies Act. NGOs should beengaged to strengthen the FMCs and evolve methods for effective farmerparticipation in project implementation. The WUAs will be prioritized duringimplementation based on the order in which they are formed.
-128-
Annex 9AttachmentPage 2 of 6
6. The Irrigation Department (ID), with the existing infrastructure, willbe responsible for implementing the proposed DTW/RP schemes through LCB. IDshould do the supervision and monitoring of implementation.
7. Before execution of the rehabilitation program, a MOU is to be executedby the concerned Secretary and President of the WUA and the IrrigationDepartment (ID) to undertake the rehabilitation as per the conditionsstipulated by the Government.
8. The Chief Engineer (Distribution), Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB)had indicated that the total planned power requirement in the state will be1785 million units/year and the share of irrigation sector will be about 37million units/year ( 2 %). Currently, the ASEB is charging the IrrigationDepartment for the supply of electricity to the DTWs/RPSs. Even thoughfarmers are expected to pay an irrigation cess to the Irrigation Department,this has not been done in the last three years.
9. The Irrigation Department's overdues to ASEB (as of November 1994)amounted to about Rs 102 millions, and ASEB is reluctant to supply moreelectricity to ID. About 30% of the overdues is attributed to the operationof DTWs and 10% to RPSs. Further, power generation in the state is also highlyinadequate. ASEB is planning to increase power charges from the existing Rs0.88 to Rs 1.60/unit in view of the high cost of generation which is about Rs2.61 /unit.
10. Revenue to the Irrigation Department through irrigation cess in the lastthree years is negligible, as there was no water charge collection in the last'three years. The Government of Assam issued notification in June 1992 to fixIrrigation Service charges from the beneficiaries of all irrigation schemes.The per hectare irrigation charges for Kharif crop is Rs 140.62, wheat Rs281.25, Early Ahu and Ahu Rs 375.50. Total charges per annum will be Rs 797.37per hectare.
11. The operating cost per hectare per annum of using electric power is Rs870 under STW, Rs 1550 under DTW, Rs 1258 under SLs, whereas the cost of usingdiesel is Rs 1740, Rs 3560, and Rs 3200 respectively. In the case ofdiversion schemes it is Rs 704. If the Irrigation Department's establishmentcost is included, the operating cost increases by another Rs 200 per hectare.The running cost of pump sets varies from Rs 4.0/hr to Rs 7.5/hr for 5 and 10HP motors, respectively, when using electric power. For the same HPs, thecost varies from Rs 13.2/hr to Rs 19.8/hr when using diesel.
12. Studies from Assam Agricultural University show that total waterrequirement on per hectare basis for kharif(Sali) crops is about 21 cm,early Ahu 98 cm and Ahu 49 cm. Taking into account the cropping intensity of60% in Ahu, 30% in early Ahu and 80% in Sali, annual water requirement will be128 cm/hectare.
13. OTIWs with electric power only have a cropping intensity of 56%, with theaverage number of rice supplemental irrigations actually available per hectare
-129-
Annex 9Attachment 2Page 3 of 6
varying from 0 to 1 compared to the required 3 to 4 in Kharif. In the Rabiseason, farmers need pump water in 85X of the crop period which could not bepossible with erratic electric power supplies. Since electric power is notregularly available, farmers who could not get the water-in time from the DTWfallow their land. If diesel source is available, then the cropping intensitywill increase to 175 % as two season cropping is possible with assured watersupplies.
14. Crop budgets show farmers with erratic irrigation supplies could get anet income of only Rs 1,176/ha compared to Rs 9867/ha per annum by farmerswith assured irrigation supplies, particularly in the DTWs/RPS.
15. As part of the cost recovery effort, an amount equal to one-third of thetotal investment for each DTW/RPS is to be recovered from the beneficiaries in4 instalments where the first instalment is to be recovered before the worksstart. The WUA should recover the cost either in cash or kind from thebeneficiaries on behalf of the Government. Labor contribution by thebeneficiary farmers during installation will be incorporated in thecomputation of cost recovery requirements. The WUA can keep 1 percent of theamount collected as an incentive. In the case of defaulters, the WUA shouldstop providing irrigation water to defaulters.
16. Wherever possible, the horse power (HP) of the diesel set should berestricted to 25 HP which will facilitate buying and storing of diesel by theWUA for regular pump operation. -
17. While rehabilitating the partially working OTWs, vertical turbine setsto be replaced first, before submersible sets. After rehabilitation, the WUAis responsible for payment of the relevant water charges to the ID and the IDin turn is responsible for performing routine operation & maintenance on theDTWs/RPSs.
18. Since the rehabilitated DTWs/RPS will be scattered across severaldistricts, proper monitoring of the rehabilitated DTWs/RPS should be done byoutside experts. Development of base line data for the rehabilitated as wellas other DTWs/RPSs is important and should be carried out.

IRRIGATION DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Handing Over Procedures for Rehabilitated DTWs/RPSs toWater User Associations
1. DTWs/RPSs will be rehabilitated after ascertaining that thebeneficiaries will assume full responsibility for managing and maintaining therehabilitated units. The services of the NGOs should be used to assess thewillingness of beneficiaries to form WUAs that are willing to take over theunits. The rehabilitated units will then be handed over to the WUAs for aninitial period of 10 years of operation and management. ID has already shownthe willingness for the handover. Government Order is to be issued tofacilitate the handover.
2. A MOU would be signed between the WUA and the ID incorporating theprocedures, conditions and follow ups on the handover of the DTW/RPS to theWUA. NGO participation is recommended for sustainability of the investment inthe long-run. Once a suitable NGO in each district is identified, then theNGO should coordinate between the ID and the WUA so that the WUA will be fullyaware of the consequences of such a handover.
3. The MOU should include the following WUA primarily responsibilities:
- maintaining audited accounts of DTWs/RPSs,
- maintaining linkages with NGOs and government departments,
- providing diesel regularly for running the OTWs/RPSs,
- operating & maintaining the units,
- distributing water and resolving conflicts among members,
- paying electricity charges due to OTW operation directly to the AssamState Electricity Board (ASEB),
- mobilizing its own resources for repairs & maintenancethrough collection of fees from members and other incomegenerating activities.
To facilitate the handover process, legal aspects should be worked out afterponsulting the legal experts.

IRRIGATION DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION-
Selection Criteria and Guidelines for Establishing -Pilot Tank Irriaation Systems
IntroductJan
1. The proposal recommends 5 pilot tanik irrigation projects to 'irrigate-about 100 ha. The distribution as well as implementation schedule of theprojects is given in Table l.
Gu1eliesfor Selection/Implementation of Schemes
2. Tank sites proposed under the pilot project should be cleared by thestate government, and it should ascertained that there are no localconflicting issues involved. Since the success of the tank systems is -primarily based on the rainfall pattern, catchment behavior, water spread areaand command area, survey of the selected locations should be done and thetopographical map depicting cadastral information and boundaries of the tanksystem be prepared for each location by the Irrigation Department.
3. In each location, simple reconnaissance soil survey and landclassification should be done so that the suitability of the water spread areaand command area for water storage and crop growing is known. Based on thisinformation, the suitability of the location for tank irrigation should beassessed.
4. The rainfall data pattern in the location should be analyzed usingavailable time series data for the last lO years in order to work out run-offbehavior. Since the pilot projects will be taken up after the 3rd year of theproject, rain gauges should be installed in the first year of the projectitself in the catchment area to know exactly the relationship between rainfalland run-off patterns.
S. Run-off models should be developed using either Strange's table or usingavailable computer models suitable to Assam conditions. Based on thisinformation, tank storage capacity, size of the water spread area, number offillings, and size of command area should be worked out.
6. Based on the duration of water supply and crop water requilrement, thesize of the command area should be worked out taking into account theprevailing crop pattern in the locat10n.. Since the tanks are pilot in nature,-the size of the command area should be restricted to around 20 hectares pertank.

Annex 9Attachment 4
7. One Superintending Engineer, two Assistant Engineers and five juniorengineers will be given training in tank irrigation design and constructionmethodalogies. Before starting the work, they should visit IrrigationDepartments in some of the Southern states like Andhra Pradesh or Karnataka orTamil Nadu where tank irrigation is popular.
8. A two week training, particularly in the first year of projectimplementation, should be given to selected engineers by tank irrigationexperts. The training should focus primarily on:
- tank hydrology,- catchment treatment,- irrigation methods,- conjunctive use of tank and well water,- farmer participation,- tank rehabilitation, and- overall tank management.
9. The Irrigation Department should maintain the tank water spread area andsluices. Since this is on a pilot basis, the engineers should monitor thecatchment and tank storage behavior periodically so that the design could beimproved in other locations.
10. Farmers in the tank command area should be motivated to form a WUA andthey should be given training in tank irrigation methods. ID should closelywork with the farmers for the first two years of tank irrigation. Farmersshould be trained to maintain the canals and field channels by themselves.

IRRIGATION OESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Frameworks. Policies. Strategies and Agoroaches for theFarmer Particigatory Program
1. The following factors are likely to have a positive relationship on thewillingness of water users to organize themselves and contribute towards thecost of rehabilitation and subsequent O&M:
- the relative non-reliability of electric supply in the location,
- the potential gains through increased paddy yield or due to second cropcultivation,
- the presence of a strong leadership in the project area, and
- the presence, in the area, of a strong NGO with experience in communityorganization activities.
2. Each DTW or RPS to be rehabilitated should have a registered WUA evenbefore starting the rehabilitation process. The WUA to be formed is sought tobe entrusted with the functions such as:
- equitable water distribution and conflict resolution,- enforcement of water allocation and distribution policies,- payment of electricity dues,- improvement of agricultural production by adopting modern agronomic
practices,- coordination with other agencies to enable the farmers to get essential
inputs like diesel, seeds, fertilizers and manures, and loans in time,and
- generation of revolving funds to undertake regular operation andmaintenance works.
3. To facilitate people's participation and cost-sharing by thebeneficiaries, the principle of 'First Come First Served" should be made thenorm for starting the rehabilitation process at proposed locations. Theprocess of forming registered WUAs and planning the rehabilitation programsshould be started simultaneously in all the locations where rehabilitationworks are proposed. Farmers who are first to complete the formalities offorming a registered WUA will be taken up first during implementation, and therest in that order.
-138-
Annex 9Attachment SPaae 2 of 4
4. A select number of NGOs will be engaged for assisting the beneficiariesto organize themselves as WUAs. A planning workshop with IrrigationDepartment officials and NGOs representing-different regions in the stateshould be organized before implementation. The main objectives of theworkshop should be to:
- finalize a simple participatory planning methodology;- draft proforma Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) to be signed between WUA
and ID;- finalize the criteria, modalities and norms for NGO participation in the
rehabilitation program;- finalize cost sharing modalities which will include one third of the -
total costs by beneficiaries, at least a quarter of which should be inpaid in cash before the project implementation begins and the reminderin cash or kind after the scheme is implemented;
- work out the O&M responsibilities of the WUA and the manner in which itproposes to meet them, including the proposal for financial mobilizationfor the same;
- work out the responsibilities of ID during project implementation andafter the rehabilitation has been completed.
5. The NGO's function should also include providing assistance, for aspecified period, in mobilizing beneficiary contribution towards installationcosts as well as O&M. While selecting these NGOs weight should be given tothe following factors:
- legal status,- period of active presence in the area,- existing infrastructure,- experience in community organization activities,- experience in working closely with the government,- acceptability by the beneficiary group, and- financial requirement of the NGOs.
6. Prior to inviting proposals from NGOs for participation in projectactivities, the Agricultural Commissioner should set up the financial normsfor facilitating NGO participation. This should be based on actualrequirements in terms of labor needs, cost of extension activities and traveland administrative costs which would be necessary for the designatedfunctions. The concept of a full time staff presence in the project areasshould be discouraged as it would tend to suppress the initiative of the WUAleaders.
7. There should be a Steering Committee at the state level to monitor theprogress of work with the Agricultural Commissioner as the chairperson and theIrrigation Secretary as the convener. Members should include the ChiefEngineer(MI), consultants and NGO representatives.
8. The should be a set of monitorable indicators to be used duringimplementation to assess technical, economic and social progress. Primarily
-139-
Annex 9Attachment .Page 3 of 4
these indicators should include:
--physical targets and achievements,- financial targets and achievements,- level of farmer contribution,- level of farmer payment towards electricity consumption,- strength of WUA(in terms of number, capital & meetings),- strength of NGO(in terms of number and work load),- level of WUA and ID coordination,- change in crop production practices, and- other infrastructure development/programs in the village.
9. A training program to the farmers should be conducted. The beneficiariesof the rehabilitated schemes must be trained so as to operate and manage theschemes and meet the running costs. As the WUAs would be registered under theSocieties Act, proper training in accounting and other technical aspectsshould be given.
10. The WUA accounts are formal and open to audit. Proper accounting is amust for the successful functioning of a WUA. A week's special training inaccounting procedures/book keeping and water distribution methods shall bearranged for office bearers of each WUA prior to rehabilitation by the ID eachyear.
11. Further, a general training camp to be organized on the project site bythe ID about the scheme operation and crop production using training aids likeposters, slides and television. Further, selected pump operators of the WUAwould be offered a 2 day special training about pump repair and maintenance bythe mechanical wing of the ID.
12. The syllabi for WUA training should include:- history of farmer participation,- participatory approach,- benefits due to farmer participation,- legal and administrative control of the WUA,- relationship and responsibilities between ID and WUA,- elementary management techniques,- latest crop production/irrigation techniques,- water saving methods,- pump efficiencies,- on-farm development activities,- OE& of the project,- cost recovery, and- marketing of produce.
NGOs like Technology and Environment(ACTSE) or Rashtriya Grameen Vikas Nidhi(RGVN) could assist in organizing training and workshops.

INDIAASSAM RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
Economic and Financial Analyses
1. Overview. The project would adopt a holistic approach to developmentthrough investments in irrigation infrastructure to enable greater returns inagricultural activities, rural roads to foster commerce and mobility, -_
horticulture to increase returns from marginal land, livestock to increase itsproductivity, and fisheries to increase the annual catch. Specifically,irrigation on about 49,000 ha of land would be enabled/upgraded; about 1,400km of rural roads and 282 bridges would be constructed or upgraded; some960,000 indigenous animals would be artificially inseminated annually, andabout 6,000 ha of water would be developed for fisheries.
2. Financial Analysis. Table 23 shows the land holding pattern in thestate of Assam. Holdings tend to be small with almost 60% of the farmersowning less than one ha of land; about 83% of the farmers in Assam till lessthan 2 ha. Tables 19-21 summarize the projected impact of the project onthese farmers and their families. Without the project, these farmers wouldcontinue to produce principally kharif crops dominated by paddy at relativelylow yields. With the project, irrigation and road infrastructure wouldfacilitate greater cropping intensity and yields with diversification intohigher value crops like peas, mustard, as well as a variety of summer andwinter vegetables. Three farm models have been developed (0.4, 0.8 and 1.5ha). The smallest farmers would increase net family incomes by about 72% (Rs4,000 to 6,880); medium-sized farmers would achieve increases of about 8S% (Rs6,780 to 12,155); and larger growers would derive net family income increasesof about 83% (Rs 12,366 to 22,605) with the project. It is anticipated thatsuch income growth would be achieved over an eight-year period from access to'improved irrigation water. Through project activities, about 2.25 millionadditional mandays of agricultural labor would be created annually, 75t ofwhich would be in irrigated crops. In addition, the multiplier effect of theproject is expected to be considerable as the general economy of the areaimproves, thereby generating additional, though unquantifiable, unemploymentopportunities and benefits. Incremental production generated with the projectas well as incremental employment is summarized in Table 22. The projectwould also enable farmers operating 0.25 ha fish ponds to obtain a net returnof Rs. 4,500 per annum (Table 28), whereas a 2 ha community fish pond would'net its operators at least Rs. 36,000 per annum, and a 100 ha beel, Rs.398,000 per annum (Table 30). The cross-breeding program would enable afarmer with only one cross-bred cow to obtain a net income of Rs. 5,400 asopposed to Rs. 1050 for an indigenous cow (Table 31).
3. Economic Analysis. The economic life of the project was assumed to be30 years in view of the longer-term nature of project investments. Theeconomic analysis of the project was done in constant end 1994 prices usingAugust 1994 world market commodity price projections. This analysis examinedfive types of project investments--irrigation, rural roads, livestock,fisheries, and horticulture. No evaluation was done for the research andextension activities because of the difficulties in quantifying the associated
-143-
benefits. Similarly no separate analysis was done for the land consolidationactivity because of its pilot nature and small size; however, the economicanalysis of with-project crop activities captured the increased value ofimproved seed, reflecting higher quality and higher processing and storagecosts.- Economic costs were derived from the project's detailed cost tables(Annex 5, Tables 1-5), excluding taxes and duties and price contingencies.Costs of overall project implementation administration were apportioned to thefive investment activities analyzed based on each's contribution to basecosts. All local costs and non-tradeables (constant 1994 market prices formilk, fish and fruits and vegetables) were converted to boarder prices byusing a standard conversion factor of 0.9. Vehicles and machinery wereassumed replaced every five years. As regards tradeable commodities, importparity prices have been calculated on the assumptions that foodgrainproduction would continue to stagnate and that India will be a marginalimporter of both grains and fertilizers. Financial and economic prices usedin project analyses are given in Tables 25 and 26. The economic cash flowsfor the five analyzed investments and for the total project are given in Table
4. Benefits of the irrigation component of the project would be derivedfrom increased cropping intensity, higher yields, and a switch to higher valuecommodities, particularly vegetables, made marketable through a revamped ruralroad infrastructure. Full production would be achieved in Year 12 of theproject, reflecting both the construction of project works (eight years) andthe gradual build-up rate of incremental yields and intensity (four years).Estimates of incremental crop benefits and costs from irrigation were madebased on with and without project cropping patterns for irrigation in Tables19-21, and individual crop budgets given in Tables 1-18. The irrigationcomponent is expected to yield an economic rate of return (ERR) of about S7%.
5. Project roads are expected to invigorate significantly the economy ofthe project area by enabling access to agricultural inputs and marketing ofoutputs, increased access to health facilities, administrative services,education and off-farm employment, as well as a general opening up of thearea. Economic analyses of roads have generally assumed a number ofindicators to value benefits, including savings in costs of operation ofvehicles as a result of saved travel time. Table 27 sets out the threebenefits quantified for the analysis. As presented therein, a traffic patternhas been estimated for a typical project road and from this, operating costsavings, increased productive labor and increased productive use of vehlicleswere calculated. Each of these benefits were estimated on an annual per kmbasis and expanded using the projected implementation schedule for roadconstruction. To accommodate likely increase in area traffic as the projectis implemented and the area economy is stimulated, traffic was assumed to riseby St p.a. over ten years after construction of a given road. Because projectroads would benefit sectors other than agriculture (e.g., health, education,public administration), only 50% of economic capital and recurrent road costswere included in the economic analysis. 8ased on these calculations, thecomponent's ERR was calculated at 33%. All other road benefits wereconsidered to be non-quantifiable.
-144-
6. Under the livestock component, crossing of indigenous cattle with exoticsemen will increase production and reproduction potential of the herd,resulting in increased milk and meat production. Incremental milk productionis expected to begin in the fifth year of the project, and stabilize in thethirteenth year (Table 32). The ERR of this component is estimated at 21t.
7. Improved fisheries management, and regular stocking of farmers, ponds,community ponds, and beels will increase fish production to 2,000-3,000 kg offish/ha/year in farmers' and community ponds, and 300 kg/ha/year in beels. Acombined total water surface of 6,000 ha will be brought under fishproduction, yielding 3,000 tons per year. Based on benefits and costs forfish rearing in Tables 28-30, the fisheries component is expected to yield anERR of 22%.
8. Increased horticulture production would improve farmers' nutrition inaddition to enhancing their disposal income. Estimates of incremental cropbenefits were based on crop budgets in Tables 8-18. Due to the eight yearphasing of investments, and the differing maturity of horticultural crops,ranging from one to eight years, full production is expected around thesixteenth year of the project. The component's ERR was estimated at 66%.
9. The economic analysis for the entire project required an aggregation ofthe cost and benefit streams for the five components discussed above. Thisprocess yielded a weighted average ERR for the total project of 24% and anaggregate NPV of Rs 2,423 million (US$ 78 million).
10. Sensitivity Analysis. Switching values were calculated on the totalproject cost and benefit streams. According to this analysis, benefits wouldneed to drop by 50% or costs increase by 110% to reduce the ERR to theOpportunity Cost of Capital of 12% (or the NPW to 0). Both of these scenariosare considered highly unlikely. Arbitrary increases in costs and decreases inbenefits were also done as follows to test the sensitivity of the base ERR andNPW:
ERR NPV(Rs. M)
Base Case 24% 2,423Benefits down 10% 22t 1,946Benefits down 15% 21t 1,707Costs up 10% 22% 2,188Benefits lagged 2 years 18t 1,381Benefits down 10 and Costs up 10% 20% 1,711
These results suggest that the project's ERR is relatively robust whensubjected to serious benefit shortfalls and cost escalation. The conservativenature of benefit estimations and delay-avoidance measures built into theproject's design reinforce confidence in results (para 10).
11. Risks. Despite the relatively weak management of government departmentsin Assam, the project includes a number of innovations to increase chances of
-145-
project success. The project has been designed to minimize governmentinvolvement. User groups would be involved actively in project planning,implementation, evaluation and importantly, ownership and maintenance ofproject facilities. This is expected to instill a sense of beneficiaryresponsibility in the decision-making and asset-upkeep processes. Budgetclearance procedures and expenditure authorizations have been streamlined toavoid delays. Incremental yields and build-up have been relativelyconservatively estimated; and, as discussed above, only quantifiable benefitshave been included, suggesting that actual net returns to project investments.would be higher than estimated.

ASSAM RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND AGRICULTURAL SERVICES PROJECT
Imnlementation Arrangements for Individual Components
Poverty Alleviation Comnonent
1. Because the component includes distinct programs for improvement ofproduction technology in fisheries, livestock and horticulture, each of themwould be implemented by separate responsible line departments and agencies.The improvement program for fisheries would be implemented by the Departmentof Fisheries, Assam Fisheries Corporation, Fisheries cooperatives, FieldManagement Committees and farmers. While livestock activities would beimplemented by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department, privateentrepreneurs and farmers; and horticultural activities by the Department ofAgriculture (Horticulture Section), private seeds and seedlings producers,Field Management Committees and farmers.
2. Fisheries Development. Activities supported under the projectinclude seed production, mobile health units, farmers ponds and communitytanks, and fish production in laige reservoirs (beels). Also the projectwould support Pilot open water, minor floodplain fisheries enhancementactivities. These activities would be implemented as follows:
(a) Fish Seed Production. The State Department of Fisheries throughits technically qualified persons and fisheries scientists of AssamAgricultural University would initiate the establishment of eco-hatcheries, one in each district, to demonstrate the scientificmethod of fish breeding, rearing and distribution to the fish seedgrowers of the State. Whenever the eco-hatcheries are leased toprivate persons on a long-term basis, the department would monitortheir activities to ensure quality of seed is maintained. The FishFarmers Development Agencies (FFDAs) would be actively involved inproviding support in training, implementation and monitoring of theprogram.
(b) Mobile Fish Health Units. These units would be operated by theState Department of Fisheries through its Fish Farmers DevelopmentAgencies located in selected high fish potential districts.
(c) Farmers Ponds. and Community Tanks. The potential areas forcreating ponds and tanks would jointly be identified by the StateDepartment of Fisheries and local bodies consisting of members ofField Management Committees, Non-Governmental organizations,Village Panchayats, etc. The Department, through Fish FarmersDevelopment Agencies, would guide and assist producers in intensivefish culture production. The Departmental officials would alsomonitor implementation and evaluate the impact of fish productionin the local economy, including income and employment generation.
(d) Pilot open water, minor floodplain fisheries enhancement. Theinnovative strategy for this component would require coordinationby the Department of Fisheries (DOF) for all technical and
-187-
production monitoring aspects in conjunction with the IrrigationDepartment (I)) for the engineering aspects and NGO to assist withsocial organization of the fishing groups that would lease the openwaters. The DOF, with assistance from the ID, would be responsiblefor implementing the engineering works which would include (i)clearing and deepening channels between the selected floodplain andrivers; (ii) replacement of irrigation gates with structures moresuitable for fish migration, as needed; and (iii) clearing offloating aquatic vegetation. The DOF would make contractualagreements with the participating fishing groups that would includepayment of 30% of investment costs and annual maintenance needs.Responsibility for the latter would be taken directly by thefishing groups in lieu of making payments for maintenance needs.The DOF would be responsible for maintenance and productionmonitoring and collection of baseline data at proposed sites priorto making investments. The DOF would also review, revise , andenforce fisheries regulations, as necessary, to optimize fishproduction in the project area.
3. The Department of Fisheries is adequately staffed with more than 30qualified Junior Engineers to undertake survey work, demarcation of boundariesand help to design embankments/dikes/spill-overs/sluice gates, etc. to becontracted out. Weed clearing of beels would also be contracted out to theprivate sector.
4. Other activities such as Fisheries research, Extension service andtraining would be centralized for implementation. The Assam AgriculturalUniversity would implement fisheries research and the Department ofAgriculture would provide extension service under the broad based extensionservice program. However, the responsibility for providing back stopping forextension service would remain with the Department of Fisheries through itsSMSs in fisheries. The development of fisheries research projects would beundertaken by the university scientists, seed growers, fish culturists, incollaboration with staff at the Regional Research Center at Jorhat and ICAR
5. A systematic ecological survey would be carried out of the wetlandsin the project area and identify ecologically important wetlands prior tomaking investments. Such wetlands would be excluded from the prbject. Sofar, six wetlands have been identified in Assam to be of internationalimportance and in need of protection. These are: (a) Sareswar in DhuriDivision; (b) Wetlands in Manas Wildlife Sanctuary; (c) Dipor (Deepar); (d)Wetlands in Loakhawa, Orang and Sonai Rupai Sanctuaries; (e) Wetlands inKaziranga National Park; and (f) Dibru Flood Plain.
6. Because of the technical nature of fish production in large beels,the Department of Fisheries would at the initial stage launch the operation bydesigning, drawing, floating tenders for construction, supervisingconstruction and seeding before finally leasing to the private sector (highestbidders). To promote private sector involvement in fish production on acommercial scale, lease periods of water beels under government control wouldbe extended to 5-10 years.
-188-
7. Beels would continue to be the major source of fish production inthe State, therefore there is a need to rationalize the States policy andresponsibility for their development. At present the majority of the beelsare either under the control of Revenue or Forestry Departments. For properdevelopment of beels the fishing rights should be vested with the StateFisheries Department. Regarding the issue of leasing out large beels tohighest bidders, present users would be protected. A compensation packageacceptable to IDA would be required as an integral part of the beelconstruction, in the annual work plan.
8. Livestock Development. The Animal Husbandry and VeterinaryDepartment (AHVD) is responsible for development of livestock in the state.The Department is represented in each district by a District VeterinaryOfficer under whom are a number of Sub-District Veterinary Officers,Veterinary Assistant Surgeons, and Veterinary Extension Officers at thelivestock clinics, including mobile clinics. Currently the department hasseveral livestock improvement initiatives including, improvement of cattle,buffalo, goats, pigs, ducks and poultry through breeding programs; theIntensive Cattle Development Project (ICDP), village level scheme, andproduction of frozen cattle semen for Artificial Insemination, as part of thecattle improvement program.
9. The cattle improvement program puts emphasis on dairy productionthrough its eight cattle farms and numerous insemination centers. The largestprogram being the GOI supported ICDP scheme which started in 1968. Theobjective of the ICDP is to improve milk production in the state throughcontrolled breeding, and improved feeding, management and disease control.There are 11 ICDPs currently operating in the state and a further two wereplanned and the infrastructure established but not implemented.
10. To compliment GOI/GOA effort, additional resources provided underthe project would enable AHVD implement the cattle improvement program.Because GOA under the ICDP has artificial insemination infrastructure in placethrough which AI and veterinary services and animal husbandry information areextended, the department would be supported to expand the coverage. The ICDPsare linked with the Dairy Development Department and a Rural Development andExtension Officer is attached to the ICDPs for household dairy extension, andorganizing cooperative societies for milk marketing. Animal managementpractices of the ICDPs including castration of local bulls, breeding localcows with frozen Jersey semen to produce cross bred milk animals, treatment ofanimal health problems and prophylaxis for diseases, would be continued.
11. The existing staff are adequate to implement the project, with theexception of a few additional positions. At the state level, the staff wouldconsist of the Director, supported by an Additional Director who would beresponsible for the project. Below the Additional Director are a number ofSMSs whose function would be to train field level staff, assist withbeneficiary training, prepare training materials in their specialized subjectswith the assistance of the existing multi-media team. Also, SMSs wouldorganize and supervise field livestock development staff.
-189-
12. Though most of the positions are filled, about 10% additionalstaffing would be required. The existing lower level staff include thefollowing specializations: (i) fodder development, (ii) cattle production,(iii) pig, sheep and goat production, (iv) training, (v) extension, and (vi)animal health. Female staff for extension, women in development and animalnutrition would be added to the existing contingent of livestock experts.Additionally, some of the present staff would be re-trained to equip them inlivestock breeding, monitoring, credit and business development and planning.There will also be a separate group responsible for frozen semen productionand management, epidemiology and disease monitoring.
13. At the district level, each district would be headed by VeterinaryOfficer supported by a team of SMSs to provide technical support for topicswhich are important in that particular district. These would include:training, cattle production, fodder development, pig, sheep and goatproduction, animal health, and rural development and extension.
14. The veterinary clinics and AI centers would continue to be operatedby existing staff carrying out general functions, acting as the extensionagents for livestock department, interacting with the beneficiaries andpassing requests for training and additional information to the SMSs at thedistrict level. With the development of VLAs and privatization of veterinaryservices, Al centers would concentrate in providing technical support to theprivate sector, monitoring, and private sector and farmer training andextension. Sub-sector representation would be provided by the VeterinaryExtension Officer at the Block level.
15. Horticulture Development. Implementation of two IDA assistedprojects (Cr 728 and Cr 1754) has resulted in strengthening and streamliningof the extension service under a single line of command. Under this system,there is one VLEW for every 800 farm families, one AEO circle for 6-8 VLEWs,one Sub-divisional Agricultural Officer for 6-8 AEO circles, one DistrictAgricultural Officer for 2-3 subdivisions, one Joint Director of Agriculturefor 2-4 districts. Because the proposed project would introduce a broad-basedextension service, the existing VLEWs would function as multiple change agentsfor technology transfer for crops (including horticulture) and livestock.
16. Because of the growing importance of horticulture as a source ofincome and nutrition for the rural poor, a separate cell for horticulture wascreated within the Department of Agriculture in 1992. The cell is headed byan ADA (Horticulture) who is assisted by two Deputy Directors (Horticulture)at headquarter. At the sub divisional level, the Sub divisional AgriculturalOfficers are assisted by one SMS (Horticulture). At the state level workshopsexclusively for horticulture are held once every year since 1990-91 to promotefurther expansion of horticulture.
17. Also, bi-monthly zonal workshops devote about 50% of the time forskill development and generation of messages on horticulture. The Departmentof Agriculture and the Assam Agricultural University have jointly publishedan excellent book entitled "Packages of Practices for Horticultural crops in
-190-
Assam" which is only useful to a few english speaking farmers. Assistancewould be provided in the project to translate the book into Assamese andBengali to be widely distributed to the farming community.
18. There are about 3000 VLEWs in the Directorate of Agriculture. EachVLEW would conduct one or two horticultural demonstrations per year onfarmers' plots. Where FMCs are well organized the demonstrations would beconducted through FMCs on selected farmers' land or on community lands.Although about 20,000 FMCs have been registered, only a small percentage arefunctioning and are self-sustaining. NGOs would be engaged to strengthen theFMCs and to evolve methods for effective participation of beneficiary groupsin planning and implementation of demonstrations. The progeny orchardactivities would be implemented by the existing staff and the horticulturaltraining would be organized by sub-divisional SMS (Horticulture) supervised byheadquarter staff.
Institutional Development ComDonent
19. The component includes technology generation, education andtraining, extension service, seed multiplication and land administration whoseimplementation would involve three agencies. These activities would beimplemented as follows:
20. Technology Generation. The Assam State Agricultural University(ASAU) is responsible for agricultural research. Technology generation underthe project would concentrate on the development of various forms of the rice-based cropping systems, to increase crop yields and also cropping intensity.As a result of research supported through the Indian Council for AgriculturalResearch (ICAR) all India coordinated trials, extension information is alreadyavailable for increasing the intensity of cropping under both irrigated anddry-land cropping.
21. The regional agricultural stations, strengthened under the project,would be responsible for the location specific research. Since a major thrustof the project is to widen the range of on-farm income generating activities,an integrated approach to farming would be adopted to include crops, livestockand fisheries. The rationale for supporting such effortwould be to ensure continued supply of demand driven technology, especiallymore relevant to mixed farming.
22. Through the Farming Systems Research under the project, farmerswill have the opportunity to make their needs known to research and extensionworkers through their participation in training sessions, demonstrations andzonal and district committees. At present extension messages are designedexclusively by research scientists and extension officers for farmers based ontheir perception. Similarly research programs are based on the ideas of thescientists. Under the project, more active participation of farmers in theidentification of problem areas, in the design of research programs, and theapplication of research results would be further encouraged under a farmingsystems approach to research and extension.
-191-
23. However, there are many interpretations of "Farming SystemsResearch" (FSR), ranging from the introduction of a concept of mixed farmingto experiments on crop rotations. Under the project, farming systems researchapproach that has been used by the International Agricultural Research Centerswould be tried.
24. To promote demand driven research programs, a FSR committee wouldbe established comprising members from research, extension, NGOs and farmers,and would meet at either Jorhat or Guwahati twice each year. The committeewould be responsible for commissioning joint diagnostic surveys through theregional research stations, for soliciting and funding research proposalsemanating from the surveys, and funding proposals for on-farm trials receivedfrom research, extension and NGOs. The chairmanship of the committee wouldoscillate between the Department of Agriculture and ASAU.
25. Education and Training. The Assam Agricultural University is alsoresponsible for education and training of pre-service staff. At presentthere is a surplus number of trained manpower at all levels and many of themare un-employed. All positions at the village level extension worker (VLEW)level are also filled. Therefore, the project would not support any pre-service training, except for women candidates. The objective is to increasewomen representation in the extension service as their present number isminimal.
26. ASAU would continue to provide in-service training, the functionwhich was not accomplished under the NAEP III. The training would supportresearch aimed at technology generation, strengthen extension service, anddevelop a farming systems approach to research with a subsidiary aim ofimproving linkages among research scientists, extension staff and the farmingcommunity. The training facility at Naltali would be upgraded to function asa state level staff Training Institute.
27. There is clear need to provide in-service training to both staffand farmers. However, the need for pre-service training and education wouldcritically be evaluated before any additional support is provided. Given theover supply of graduates and the complete staffing of the AgriculturalDepartment, there are indications that the output of graduates and VLEW shouldbe curtailed.
28. In service training and farmers training is decided centrally anddoes not appear to be related to identified needs at the field level. This isalso a lack of an overall policy for training in the development plan of thestate. There is no clear allocation of responsibility for training at thevarious levels. Within the crop sector both ASAU and the department ofAgriculture are providing training independently and each is seeking toupgrade its farmer training facilities.
29. To assist GOA address the above problem, a consultant would berecruited under the project to prepare a curriculum for the Naltali trainingcenter, and coordinate preparation of an overall state agricultural trainingpolicy and implementation plan. Until the plan is prepared, no additionalsupport for training would be provided under the project.

30. Extension. The management and organization of the extensionservice in Assam was established under the previous Bank supported projectswhich introduced the Train and Visit (T&V) approach. Under the project, theapproach would be modified to ensure broad based extension service is extendedto all agricultural sub-divisions. Additionally, reforms would be introducedaimed at addressing recognized limitations of the current extension system.The limitations include excessive manpower requirements, failure of thecontact farmer approach, lack of contact with women farmers, limitation ofextension to crops and a top-down delivery system for improved technology. Toincrease the effectiveness of extension agents, the number of demonstrationsper VLEW would be limited to three. These demonstrations would focus on cropdiversification and intensification. It is estimated each demonstration wouldnot cost more than Rs.500 a year. The technologies to be popularized and theorganization of individual demonstrations would be proposed in the annualplans to be approved by PCC.
31. To expand coverage the project would finance extension service intoeight additional sub-divisions and provide vehicles for the Agriculturaldepartment and extension staff on a hire purchase arrangement under existingconditions and regulations. Also the project would encourage the use ofexisting Field Management Committees (FMC) as conduits of technology transferto the farming community. The aim would be to provide incentives to VLEW toensure their active participation in FMC meetings. It would also broaden theknowledge of VLEW to cover the basics of animal husbandry and fisheries sothey could be introduce these enterprises into the farming systems. VLEWwould function as contact persons for the subject matter specialists (SMS) ofother line departments.
32. Also, the project would support demonstration of productiontechnology (farm power and harvesting) on farmers fields, and post harvesttechnology (crop drying and storage). In addition to direct discussions atthe FMC level the project would encourage the use of mass-media (radio, TV,newspapers, magazines, posters, pamphlets, etc.) for the distribution ofinformation. To facilitate this approach the information section of thedepartment of agriculture would be strengthened with appropriate equipment.
33. To equip the VLEW with basic training in these fields, trainingwould be provided and support facilities increased on FTS for demonstrationpurposes. HoweveY to ensure success of the broad based extension approachregular consultation with other line departments would be encouraged. Sinceline departments intend to maintain their own extension system, their staffcould become subject matter specialists and the VLEW would be the initialcontact with the FMCs.
34. The project would pay special interest in promoting the role ofwomen in the activities being supported. Funds would also be set aside todevelop community based model schemes to involve women effectively. Thesewould include building the capacity of rural women in organizing training innew farming technology. Women representatives would be allocated specialplaces in all critical areas of decision making process in the designing andimplementation of project activities.
-193-
35. Seed Multiplication. The Assam Seed Corporation is primarilyresponsible for the production and supply of certified seed. However, theresponsibility for the production of breeder seed lies with the AgriculturalUniversity and that for foundation seed is with the Department of Agriculture.
36. To promote private sector involvement in the production offoundation and certified seed, GOA would lease out at least five farmsincluding: Mohokal, Gerua, Shillongani, Balijana and Krishnai to be supportedunder the project and agree to lease the remaining farms, in a phased manner.Lead farmers (registered seed growers) and private seed companies would becontracted to produce certified seed. At the same time, lead farmers' fieldswould be used as demonstration plots for extension purposes.
37. Land Administration. The Revenue Department would be responsiblefor implementing the above scheme. The land consolidation operation wouldinvolve land exchange, boundary adjustment and in unavoidable circumstancesland acquisition and allotment to bring about compact holdings. Onceconsolidated, fragmentation of holdings in future would, to the extentpossible, be kept in check through persuasive and legal measures embodied inthe Assam Land Consolidation act of 1960.
38. Though the government is legally empowered to enforce the Act,implementing staff would be required first to convince farmers on the benefitsof land consolidation and enlist their interest in the program. Only inexceptional cases would land acquisition become necessary. In such cases,adequate compensation would be provided. To minimize problems, beneficiarieswould be encouraged to participate at every stage of the program; includingplanning, desigring and implementation of land consolidation. FMCs would be auseful vehicle to solicit the cooperation of prospective participants in theprogram.
39. The project would update the record of tenancy rights; convertannual pattas (land leases) into long term leases, currently 20 years, improvefield irrigation and drainage system, and promote better land use for economicpurpose. The responsibility for implementing the scheme would squarely liewith the Director of Land Requisition and Reforms under the Revenue Departmentand would be assisted by the Department of Agriculture, specially itsengineering wing. Two committees would be created to monitor progress, andcoordinate implementation. The committee at the district level would beheaded by the Deputy Commissioner of Kamrup district, while the state levelcommittee would be chaired by the Secretary (Revenue) with representatives offarmers, NGOs, and selected staff of the Departments of Agriculture andExtension.
40. Because of the pilot nature of the land consolidation program, itdoes not include cost recovery from farmers. Nevertheless the Landconsolidation Act of 1960 provides for cost recovery of up-to 50 percent ofthe cost of land consolidation from benefiting farmers. Because the projectincludes computerization of records, land administration would be simplifiedgreatly. This would be a necessary tool for land administration, includingland reforms, revenue collection, resettlement, land regulation through quickaccess to accurate data.
-194-
41. To supplement GOA's effort to computerize land records, currentlysupported by GOI in three districts, the project would assist in expanding andimproving the system through additional training of revenue staff and aprovision of computers and associated software for two additional districts,namely Darrang and Karimganj. However, before concrete plans can be made toinclude the component in the project, GOA would have to prepare a detailedproposal for Bank review. The proposal should include procedures toauthenticate computer print outs and issue legally acceptable "pattas" to landholders which could be used to secure Bank loans for land development.Also, GOA would have to design guidelines for periodically up-dating thecomputerized land records. The objective should be to ensure that, the systemrenders accurate information.
Infrastructure Component
42. Irrigation Activities. Most of the irrigation schemes would beimplemented by the Irrigation Department, except shallow tubewells (STWs)which would be handled by the Department of Agriculture. User groups wouldalso be involved in the construction and operation and maintenance of theirrigation schemes. Both PWD and the engineering wing of DOA have thecapacity to implement these schemes.
43. The Irrigation Department would undertake detailed field surveysand identify suitable locations using the agreed criteria for selection ofpotential irrigation schemes (Annex 9, Attachment 2). After which a shortlist would be prepared and discussed by potential user groups to establishtheir interest in implementing these schemes.
44. In the case of new STWs, the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB)would be consulted to ensure a balanced ground water budget is maintained,through proper spacing between wells in the locations selected. The RegionalDirectorate of CGWB in Guwahati is already conducting detailed studies onrecharge and well spacing requirements, which would be available prior toimplementation as an integral part of the annual work plan (para 3.9). In thecase of schemes for rehabilitation, a list would be prepared by the irrigationDepartment before final selection to analyze details such as: age, location,type of pumpset, well yield, average electric power supply, averageutilization, farmers' willingness to run the diesel pumps, and existing cropyield.
45. Also, before construction of new and rehabilitation of existingdeep tubewells and river-pumping schemes, farmers' interest and willingness toparticipate would be assessed by project staff. Tangible proof of farmers'commitment to the project would include their agreement to contribute up-to30% of the cost , either in-cash or in-kind of the proposed investment. Afterrehabilitation of DTWs and river-pumping schemes by the project, GOA wouldtransfer ownership to user groups established as associations or formallyregistered FMCs under the Societies Act.
46. To ensure proper operation and maintenance (O&M) of irrigationschemes, particularly those owned and operated by user groups, agreement tocollect water charges from user group members would be one of the selection
-195-
criteria for their participation. In the case of diesel-powered units,initial contribution equivalent to about 30% of the investment cost would becollected from the user groups and paid to the Irrigation Department. In thecase of farmers using electric power for the DTWs and river-pumping schemes,the organization would pay the electricity charges directly to the ASEB.
47. The Irrigation Department would design a training program forfarmers and user groups in the O&M of irrigation schemes. The trainingprogram would emphasize the importance of proper O&M of irrigation assets.Participation of NGOs in irrigation activities would be encouraged to ensurelocal ownership and sustainability of the investment in the long-run. Oncesuitable NGOs have been identified, they would be trained to coordinateimplementation of irrigation activities between the Irrigation Department andfarmer groups. They would also help in identifying potentialfarmer groups and guide them through their establishment as legal units underthe Societies Act.
48. Because the success of irrigation activities would depend on thelevel of support and participation of the beneficiaries, establishment of avoluntary water users association for a particular scheme, with actualcontribution towards the cost of construction, would be a pre-requisite forinclusion of such a scheme under the project. Full ownership withresponsibilities for O&M of the irrigation schemes by beneficiaries would beexplained clearly, preferably by NGOs, during the process of establishingwater users associations.
49. Though ground water development is one of the important investmentpriorities of GOA due to its vast potential, it is important to follow certainstandard norms/guidelines provided by GOA while installing the wells. Undernormal circumstances, a spacing of 200 m between wells and in areas such asnorth of the Brahmaputra River is considered adequate. However, a widerspacing of 300 m would be suitable for moderate transmissivity resulting inhigher draw downs. In locations characterized by low transmissivity, onlySTWs with low discharge design for a command area limited to about one hectarewould be ideal.
50. In locations such as north of Brahmaputra River, twin-tube wellswith a central pumping system would be implemented instead of conventionalboring due to boulder formations even at shallow depths of 15 to 20 m belowthe surface. In the deeper zones, design of the tubewells would be primarilybased on hydraulic conductivity.
51. Priority for STWs construction and installation of pumps would begiven to individual farmers or user groups, depending on their willingness andcapacity to implement the schemes. Otherwise the task would be contractedout, with the consent of the concerned beneficiaries. To ensure ease ofoperation and maintenance of STWs, the capacity of diesel pumps would berestricted to 20 horse power. The STW installation would be done with acombination of GI and PVC pipes. For example, for a STW with a depth of 30meters, the combination could be: 3 meter GI pipe, 17 meters PVC pipe and 10meters iron cum HDP strainer.
-196-
52. Rural Roads. The sub-component would be implemented by both PublicWorks Department (PWD) and DRDA. The Chief Engineer of PWD would beresponsible for overall supervision of implementation. To expeditecompletion, road construction would be undertaken by local privatecontractors. The sub-component would also include services of consultants toassist in the preparation of designs and drawings, supervision of constructioncontracts and training of staff. Contract management consultants wouldinclude: (a) Team Leader, (b) Quantity Surveyor, (c) Road Engineer, (d) BridgeEngineer and (e) Training Engineer; for the duration of the project.Consultants for planning and detail engineering services would include: Designand Soil Engineers for 36 man-months. Roads to be upgraded have been selectedin significant-length stretches to facilitate tendering and contractsupervision. Because more detailed work including designs, drawings andpreparation of specifications and bidding documents for rural roads would berequired before implementation starts, a realistic project implementation planwould be part of the annual work plan.
53. Most roads in the project area, especially Major District Roads(MDRs) and Ordinary District Roads (ODRs) would be constructed with aformation width (shoulder edge to shoulder edge) of 7.5 m and a carriagewaywidth of 3.5 m. This cross-section would of sufficient width to bestrengthened when traffic develops. Bituminous surfacing is not contemplated,although on environmental grounds it may be necessary to minimize dust inlarge settlements. However, for DRDA roads which pass through highlyinhabited areas, the full 7.5 m formation may not be attainable. Under thesecircumstances the toe of embankments may be supported by small retainingwalls, thus avoiding the need to take land and/or damage buildings.
54. Minor cross-drainage structures would be provided by single ormultiple lines of 1 m diameter Class NP2 reinforced concrete pipes with headwalls. The crossings of larger streams would be by means of slab culverts onmass abutments of bonded masonry carried down to suitable foundations. Forriver crossings, bridges would be designed in reinforced concrete and would besingle lane for village roads, but double lane in the case of MDRs.
55. Because the condition of rural roads is deplorable especiallyduring the monsoon season due to poor repair and maintenance, the consultantsprovided under the project to assist GOA prepare a road maintenance policy andfinancing plan should examine the possibility of mobilizing rural communitiesto provide labor input as "in-kind" tax. Also, centrally sponsored employmentschemes could be tried for road repair and maintenance on a pilot basis inselected districts. For example, funds are allocated annually to DRDA foremployment generating schemes, but no effort has been made to use these fundsfor road maintenance. Also the possibility of using taxes on fuel under the"central road funds", and market cess would be examined.

Annex 17
Assam Rural Infrastructure and Agricultural Services Project
Procedures and Guidelines for Resettlement
1. The project investments are not expected to displace anycommunities. However GOA may, in the interest of road realignment,construction of large fish ponds and irrigation tanks, consider volurtaryresettlement of communities resident within the project area.
2. The preparation of a relocation plan that attempts to restoreliving standards, earning capacity and production levels of the displacedpeople, would include provision to: -
(a) assist the displaced people in the relocation move and providesupport during the transition period in the new site;
(b) assist the displaced people in their efforts to improve theirformer living standards, income earning capacity, and productionlevels, or at least to.restore them. The project would givehighest priority for inclusion of these people in the projectactivities in order to improve their incomes and resources.
3. The project would involve both settlers and hosts in designing therelocation plan of resettlement activities, and place special emphasis on:
(a) community participation in the planning and implementation ofresettlement activities;
(b) establishment of social organizations and use of existing socialand cultural institutions of settlers and hosts, as far aspossible;
(c) measures to integrate re-settlers socially and economically intohost communities, if applicable.
4. When displacement is unavoidable, a detailed resettlement planshould be prepared, with a time table and budget as required. Resettlementplans should be based on a strategy to improve or at least restore theeconomic base for those relocated. The content of the resettlement plans,should normally include a statement of objectives and policies and otherfeatures.
5. Prior to relocation, people should be provided with a compensationpackage of support for housing, village infrastructure, land and irrigation tocompensate for lost assets. Compensation would be facilitated by:
(a) paying special attention to the adequacy of legal arrangementsconcerning land title, registration, and site occupation;
(b) publicizing among affected people to be displaced the laws andregulations governing relocation and compensation;
-207-
(c) development of mechanisms to prevent illegal encroachment to takeadvantage of such benefits and to prevent nonresidents moving intothose areas vacated by the oustees; and
(d) establishment of a simple grievance mechanism to resolve anydispute that may arise.

Annex I18
Assam Rural Infrastructure and Agricultural Services Prolect
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Area Influenced by Prolect
1. Most of project activities would be limited to the plains areas ofAssam. The area comprises 18 administrative Districts on the floor of thebroad Bhramaputra valley, plus 3 administrative Districts in plains areas ofthe Barak River valley to the south, separated by 2 hill Districts ofdifferent environmental and ethnic characte~r. Project activities in thesehill districts would be limited to horticultural production.
2. The project would include: (a) extension services for horticulture,fisheries, and livestock; (b) Institutional Development (technology generationand extension, seed multiplication and land administration, and planning andcoordination); and (c) Infrastructure (irrigation and rural roads). With theexception of research, extension, seed multiplication and horticulturalcomponents, which are expected to influence fairly large areas, the proportionof land or water areas in the state likely to be affected by the remainingproject activities is very small. The extension, research and seedmultiplication activities are expected to result in intensification on landwhich is already in production, and will not require changes in land use.
Likely Environmental Impact of Project Activities, and Miticatina Measures ifReauired
Rice-based Farming Systems
3. The likely environmental impacts of proposed Project activities inrice-based agricultural systems are expected to be minimal. No new land willbe brought under cultivation. Mechanization is not a primary objective of theProject, but if the use of farm machinery does increase as a consequence ofProject activities, the machines will be relatively light-weight power tillerswhich are not likely to result in significant compaction of soil.
4. The use of artificial fertilizers is very low in Assam. Until1989/90 the rate of consumption was about 6-7 kg/ha (compared to the nationalaverage of about 50 kg/ha and consumption in Punjab of about 150kg/ha). In1990/91 the Department of Agriculture promoted the use of fertilizer andconsumption rose to 11.4 kg/ha. Phosphatic and Potassic fertilizer weredecontrolled in 1992/3, with the result that prices rose and consumption fellto an average of 8.5kg/ha. Artificial fertilizers are used mostly on rabi(dry season) crops. Consumption is not expected to increase greatly as aresult of the Project.
5. The use of pesticides and herbicides is also low. The use averagesless than one kilogram per hectare. The quantity consumed is not expected tochange under the project. Herbicides are used mainly for demonstration
-209-
purposes on direct-seeded autumn paddy. Consumption is not likely to increasegreatly as a result of the Project. As a result project activities areunlikely to promote new agro-industries.
Horticulture
6. Similar arguments are applicable to the horticulture component ofthe project which will be directed toward domestic cultivation of a limitednumber of crops (pineapple, banana, citrus, arecanut, coconut) already presentin the area. No new land or change of land use will be required. The use ofpesticides (including fungicides) is currently low, but is likely to increase.However, the concepts of Integrated Pest Management have already beenintroduced into the area, and will continue to be promoted, as will educationin the proper handling, disposal or recycling of pesticide containers, safemethods of spraying, and the use of protective clothing by extension workers.There is no general prophylactic use of pesticides in horticulture in Assam.As with rice the use of artificial fertilizer on horticultural crops is low.The use of compost and other natural fertilizers is and will continue to beadvocated.
Livestock
7. The main environmental impact arising from the livestock componentwill be the possible conversion of small areas of waste land, or other landnot currently under crops or permanent pasture to fodder production.Leguminous fodder crops will not require artificial fertilizer and could havebeneficial effects on soil and soil conservation. Pressure from grazing willbe reduced as more animals will be stall-fed. Production of manure fromcattle may become more concentrated as the animals will be stall fed ratherthan grazed, and, while care will need to be taken that this does not createlocal pollution of surface water, and of human habitation areas, it willfacilitate recycling of manure to fields and composting sites. The cattlepopulation may actually decrease as the larger Jersey cross breeds increase inproportion to current unimproved animals, thus lessening pressure on grazinglands.
S. Increase in pig raising may be concentrated in tribal areas, wherepigs are a prominent element in farming systems. Since pigs are traditionallyhoused close to human habitation hazards to human health could result. Thesecould include increased risk of diarrhoeal diseases, and a suggested linkbetween presence of pigs and occurrence of the serious disease Japaneseencephalitis, which is endemic to Assam. Appropriate mitigating measureswould include research (perhaps jointly between the Departments ofAgriculture, Health, and the Tribal Research Institute) to determine theextent of the problem, and to find solutions involving the community in theirown health management.
9. Intensification of production of poultry, ducks, or other smalllivestock is not likely to cause environmental problems provided they are nothoused too close to human habitations, the environment is kept clean, and the
-210-
manure they produce is recycled. In tea growing areas care should be takenthat grass for animals is not cut from areas which may have been sprayed withpesticides.
Fisheries
10. The main environmental impacts likely to arise from fisheries areloss of existing habitat hence possible loss in biodiversity; and change inwater quality through overloading with organic matter.
11. The Project proposes rehabilitation of existing fishing placesrather than the creation of new ones. This will result in a change fromwetland habitats to open water with balanced vegetation and fish life belowthe surface, some loss of existing habitats will occur. The proportion in theState overall will be small (2 per cent). It is proposed to rehabilitate soof the existing 906 beels (5 per cent), and 3 per cent of existing derelicttanks or ponds and swamps. Local changes are likely to occur in both residentand migratory wild life, e.g. the numbers of snakes, frogs and insects werereported as having declined in numbers at one rehabilitated fish pond. Acounterbalancing positive benefit could be reduction in malaria and otherinsect- or water-borne diseases. A possible mitigating action would be toleave some existing vegetation untouched in the water body as wildlife refugesand genetic reservoirs. Care should also be taken to ensure that breedingareas for wild fish are not lost. Preliminary studies by professionalsjointly with local community members should be made of each proposedrehabilitation site, and the environmental issues discussed with the communitybefore any action is taken.
12. The second environmental concern is change in water quality inenclosed water bodies due to overloading with organic manure. The BOD willincrease, which will affect the growth of fish and allow undesirable weeds,particularly water hyacinth, to grow, leading to eutrophication. So thatfarmers may monitor and control the water quality of their ponds the Projectis proposing to provide analysis kits for water and soil to farmers, backed upby Government water and soil testing facilities through the area, and trainingin their use. Water hyacinth is a serious weed problem in water bodiesthroughout the State. Only mechanical means are currently used to remove it,and weed arresters are used to prevent its entry into fishing areas. Noeconomically viable use has yet been found for water hyacinth, althoughstudies to find utility for the bio-mass are being undertaken at the RegionalResearch center at Jorhat. On a broader scale water quality throughout theState needs to be protected against pollution from sewerage and industrialeffluent. The Pollution Control Board monitors water quality and is empoweredto discipline offenders. If called upon the PCB will assist the Department ofFisheries in this regard.
Minor Irrication
13. Environmental impacts from the irrigation component of the Projectare not expected to be significant. The Project proposes to irrigate from newshallow tube wells or minor irrigation projects about 50,000 ha of formerlynon-irrigated land and stabilize some deep tube wells commanding some 4500 ha.
-211-
The withdrawal of more irrigation water is unlikely to deplete groundwater,since recharge greatly exceeds the rate of withdrawal. It may have positivebenefits in countering the rising water table, thus lessening the problem ofwater-logging. Equally drainage of newly irrigated areas is not expected tobe a problem, since farmers, (who will be managing their own projects) areunlikely to use excess water because they will be paying a charge for it.Since soils often are high in iron the groundwater also has a high ironcontent, and this could lead to land degradation and lower yields. Irrigationmay have some effect on the quality of surface run-off water. The surfacewater schemes proposed under the Project are unlikely to submerge any habitatsor cultivated lands.
Rural Roads
14. Since the roads program is comprised only of rehabilitation ofexisting roads no significant loss of agricultural land will be required.Bridge replacement and road surfacing will require aggregate from quarries orboulders. To avoid additional dust, noise, and visual pollution existingrather than new quarries should be used where possible, and quarry sitesshould be screened by trees or in other ways. If boulders must be extractedfrom river beds to prevent erosion of the bed they should be removed fromshallow depths only. Regular removal of vegetation from around the piers ofbridges should be undertaken before the wet season so that the free flow ofwater is not impeded. Flooding in the larger rivers is causing their beds tofill with silt and become raised, and the flood area to extend. Environmentalawareness and education programs in the State generally should encouragereforestation of watersheds to counter this problem. A positive impact of theroads program will be improved mobility and access to market for farmers.Conversely, however, it will allow outsiders to enter districts which formerlyhave been less accessible, with possible social impacts.
Appointment of Environmental Scientist to Proiect Implementation Unit
15. It is proposed that an environmental scientist should be attachedto the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) to undertake the following tasks:
(a) screen all proposals for Project activities put forward from allcomponents of the Project for potential environmental (includingsocial) impact according to criteria given in paragraph 17 of theenvironmental analysis;
(b) make at least one field visit to the site of every proposeddiscrete activity and assess the likely environmental impact inconsultation with the local community for every proposed activityspecify appropriate mitigatory measures if required, and agree withthe proposing agency on ways they can be implemented;
(c) set up appropriate monitoring systems to measure indicators ofenvironmental change as required (e.g. water quality in fishponds;use of pesticides; equal participation of tribal people, etc.);
-212-
(d) hold regular workshops/training sessions with Project staff,relevant staff of the division of the Department of Agricultureproposing the Project, and any NGO staff involved to discussspecific environmental issues arising from Project activities, andthe results of monitoring activities; and
(e) provide reports at three-monthly intervals to the ProjectCoordination Committee and the Project Guidance Committee on theenvironmental health of the Project.
16. It is unlikely that a single individual will possess qualificationsand experience in all the fields that may be required. A number of agenciesin Assam have expressed willingness to assist in the environmental monitoringof the Project's activities. These include the Assam Science, Technology andEnvironment Council (which has particularly relevant competence in its RemoteSensing Division), the Assam Institute of Research for Tribals and ScheduledCastes, and the Pollution Control Board.
Prolect Activity Screenincr
17. Each proposed Project activity, (e.g. rehabilitation of a beel orexisting fishpond or tank; decision for extension workers to advocate use of aparticular pesticide in horticulture, advocation of new fodder production forlivestock under a particular Field Management Group, selection of a particularsite for the installation of a shallow tube well, replacement of bridge on arural road, etc.) should be screened by the Environmental Scientist. Theessential questions to be answered include whether the project activity would:
(a) result in a change of current land use;
(b) result in a loss of wildlife habitat in the local area;
(c) result in a change in water quality;
(d) increase the use of pesticides (including fungicides, herbicides,weedicides) in the local area;
(e) generate air or noise pollution;
(f) result in changes in the flow of rivers;
(g) result in social changes ( e.g. easier migration into a community);and
(h) result in changes which could affect the health of the community.
18. If the answer to any of these q(uestions is affirmative, theEnvironmental Scientist should specify appropriate mitigating measures. TheEnvironmental Scientist will also be responsible for designing appropriatemonitoring measures, and for arranging for either the appropriate officers ofthe Department of Agriculture or for outside Government or NGO agencies toexecute the measures. As much as possible monitoring systems should include
-213-
the local community, who should be encouraged to find innovative ways ofparticipation. A simple Environmental Status form should be designed andcompleted for each Project activity. (An example is given in Annex B.)
Environmental Classification of Prolosed Prolect
The Project is assessed as Categorv B, for the following reasons:(a) overall the project will affect a very small proportion of the
cultivable land and water areas of the State
(b) the development of rice-based farming systems and horticulture willnot require any additional land or result in significant change inland use; nor are they likely to reduce biological diversity; theuse of artificial fertilizer is already much lower than thenational level and is not expected to rise significantly overall,while the use of natural fertilizers will continue to beencouraged; the use of pesticides is already lower than nationallevels, and while some use of pesticides may be required by thehorticultural component, Integrated Pest Management is alreadyknown in the area and will continue to be promoted by the Project.
(c) the development of livestock may require conversion of small areas(less than 1 per cent of Plains land area) from wasteland or otheruses to fodder production, but the use of leguminous fodder cropsmay improve soil quality and assist soil conservation; pressure ongrazing lands may be reduced; housing of pigs near humans should bemonitored for disadvantageous health effects
(d) the development of fisheries will result in loss of existingwildlife habitat in no more than 2 per cent of total water area inthe State; changes in water quality will be monitored
(e) minor irrigation will affect only 1 percent of the total Plainsland area, will not deplete groundwater resources, and may helpcounter waterlogging of soils
(f) development of rural roads will not require land acquisition ordisturb drainage patterns; dust and noise pollution from quarrieswill be monitored and minimized; as will boulder extraction fromriverbeds if necessary; improved mobility and access will bepositive benefits for local residents but will allow easier accessof outsiders
