PMKSY DIP,Sagar 2
FOREW0RD
Sagar is district situated in bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh .As the area had
faced severe drought in last 10 years the water level has gone down and the farmers face a
crucial situation during Rabi season due to less availability of water for Irrigation. The
topography of the district is such that the district may be a donor of water to other district like
Damoh, Tikamgarh, Panna and Chhatarpur. The surface water storage structures
constructed under Bundelkhand special package have contributed a lot in increasing
irrigation potential but water distribution network is yet to be strengthened for assuring
irrigation to the end farmer field. The constraint in distribution network is the forest area
restrictions and undulating topography. Collaborative efforts are planned in district irrigation
plan prepared under PMKSY for increasing the reach of water for irrigation and other
domestic purposes to each and every village by all means.
The Narmada-Sonar river link project plan, Ken-Betwa link project, Bina-Betwa river link
project may be boon to the district and adjoining district in terms of increasing irrigated area
and hence productivity. Although ongoing projects of Sonpur, Parkul, Hilgan and Surajpura
tank will certainly give a boost to command area of Deori, Kesli, Rehli blocks under these
projects .The Bina multipurpose irrigation project will benefit Malthone, Khurai and Bina
Blocks of the district. Modernization and extension of Bila tank Canal will benefit the Banda
and Shahgarh blocks of district. Through implementation of the watershed project and the
proposed works under AIBP will measurably contribute in the vision of har khet ko pani under
the umbrella of Pradhan mantra Krishi Sincayee youjna.
Increasing irrigation potential and reach of water to farm will be clubbed with micro irrigation
techniques in command area and the irrigation plan will be complementary to the agriculture
plan of the district Sagar so as to transfer latest technology to farmers regarding Jal sinchan
& Jal sanchayan by extension activities through ATMA. Productivity enhancement by
minimum use of water and horticulture development will be the main thrust keeping in view of
the year wise increase in irrigated area under PMKSY. In my opinion the PMKSY DIP will be
a road map for measurable and converged efforts in productivity and production
enhancement resulting in rural prosperity.Date:10-May-2015

Executive Summary
Sagar district is endowed with topography of Donar district in terms of surface water
storage and supply to low lying areas of bundelkhand region as Sagar is geographically on
the ridge line of Ganga Basin.One major irrigation project namingly Bila dam irrigates about
16230 hectares areas in all which has 80 percent developed command area in shahgarh
and Banda blocks of the district. Under Bundelkhand package many resrvior and tanks are
constructed which are now in completion phase and the surface waterstorage potential has
increased in two fold in last 5 years
Out of the total geographical area of 1022759 hectares only 548173 hectares is under
agriculture and the irrigated area is 288871 which is only 52 % of the total area sown. Still
there are regions may be called dark zones which do not have access for water for irrigation
.the major constraints are the undulating topography of the district and forest conservation
act restrictions for crating distribution networks. Micro and precision irrigation clubbed with
the diversion based or gravity or siphon based irrigation techniques are to be promoted in
district to overcome these constraints.
. In sagar district the ground water resources irrigation shows more growth that the
surface water irrigation hence there is a enormous pressure on ground water resources
depleting the watel table very rapidly. About 121000 Ha sown area is irrigated by private tube
well and well .These private sources of irrigation though contribute to cover a considerable
area under irrigation which is in majority land holdings of small and marginal farmers‟. But
due to uneven rainfall trends these sources of irrigation makes the situation and Rabi
irrigation scenario chronic in case of low rainfall and over draft of water with excessive
pressure on the ground water table. The problem becomes more chronic when these ground
water sources are over exploited as in case of low rainfall than the drinking water issues
become chronic due to fall of water level in hand pump and wells serving for drinking water.
The District irrigation plan of Sagar district is prepared under Pradahan Mantri
Krishi Sinchayee youjna after convergent planning of ongoing financial resources . Having
vision of Har Khet Ko Pani & per drop more crop upto 2022 the strategic action plan is
prepared after analysis of situation of command area, dark zones in context to irrigation and
catch low lying fruits like command area development and repair, renovation of old water
bodies with peoples participation and scientific planning.
GIS maps and satellite images are used for real time assessment of the irrigated
area and missing links in irrigation so as to ensure the physical reach of water for irrigation.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 6
Interventions like induction of new technologies of micro and cooperative irrigations are
planned for saving water and productivity enhancement with minimal use of water. The
objective of taking per drop more crop to enhance rural prosperity will be achieved upto
2022 by convergence planning both horizontal and vertical on farm and off farm.
As per guidelines issued by government of India regarding PMKSY ,DIP is prepared
keeping in mind the four major components viz, AIBP, Har Khet ko Pani, PMKSY( Watershed
) and per drop more crop by preparing shelf of projects under various components with
consultations and incorporating valuable suggestions of Public representatives in
prioritization and phasing of works. The annual action plans will be drawn each year as per
demand and availability of funds to achieve the annual targets fixed for increasing irrigated
area and productivity enhancement complementary to implementation district agriculture
plan.

The short term strategy is to restore the storage capacity of the existing reservoirs and
tanks through RRR to catch the low lying fruit first and in long term the 6 proposed medium
irrigation project and Narmad-Sonar, Betwa-Bina river link project will certainly contribute a
lot in assuring hark het ko pani vision in Sagar district. An overall budget outlay of Rs
2652.57 Crore is proposed under various components of District irrigation plan for achieving
the objective in 6 years which is duly approved by the District Planning Committee Sagar .
The District irrigation plan will certainly serve the pupose of a road map in achieving
the objective of har khet ko Pani & per drop more crop which may be monitored by
reviewing the physical and financial targets quarterly. The targets for creating additional
irrigation potential are as follows which will be achieved by implementation of major and
minor projects under PMKSY

I. Introduction:
i. Background
India is still long way from eradicating poverty and hunger, while the gulf between rich
and poor is ever deepening in most states. The barometers of Indian economy are showing
warning signals since past decade, despite remedial measures taken with knee jerk action,
certain segments of economy still reeling under slow and sluggish growth. The population
clock has surpassed 1.15 billion and is expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2025. The per capita
availability of natural resources such as arable land, irrigation water, vegetation is shrinking
due to over exploitation and conflicting demands from the urban and industrial sectors.
Agricultural production has been stagnant, the growth rate sliding down from 3.5% in eighties
to 2.4% in nineties and 1.4% in new millennium. Corresponding investments in agriculture
from all quarters is declining too, as the contribution of the agriculture sector is sleeping
down from >48% at the start of the planned development paradigm in fifties to little over 15%
now.
Unless concrete measures are taken urgently, Indian agriculture will be in a state of
crisis in the coming years. To safeguard food security to the growing population and to
maintain the environmental quality without further deterioration, the available natural
resources have to be effectively harnessed and efficiently managed. This is particularly
important in the rain-fed areas, which form over 63 % of the cultivated area.
District Sagar is facing erratic rainfall since last 7 years and the agriculture
production is decreasing day by day, due to non availability of other sources of income the
farmers are under great pressure of financial crises. The agriculture loans are converting in
to the NPAs. Due to low rainfall this year and „yellow magic‟ disease in soyabean crop the
farmers suffered losses in kharif crop.
Situations of natural calamities like drought, excessive rainfall or any regional disease
in major crops are leading to complex the livelihood means of farmers dependent on
agriculture vis a vis irrigation.
This envisages the need of a comprehensive district irrigation plan in combination with
District agriculture plan including contingent plan for natural calamities and changing weather
scenario in the era of global warming and effects like that of alnino.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 9
ii. Vision
Pradhan mantra krishi sinchaye Youjna with a Vision for “ Harkhet ko Pani “and “Per
drop more Crop” will be achieved by convergence of all schemes related to agriculture and
irrigation with involvement of farmers , public representatives and efforts of the concerned
line department & implementing agencies .The vision is to fully utilize the existing water
resources with better management through sensitization and awareness in users and input of
new technology ICT in future irrigation practices keeping in mind the irregular nature of
rainfall and creating new sources of irrigation with repair in existing for optimal use of water
for irrigation keeping in mind the domestic need of water for population, livestock, wild
animals and Industrial use .
With measures of water conservation the vision aligns with the need of strategic
irrigation practices like cooperative irrigation, organic farming and crop alignment with
contingent plans as per the water availability in future years in Sagar district.
iii. Objective
The major objective is to double the income of farmer‟s upto 2022 by major
interventions in irrigation infrastructure and practices so as to make agriculture a business of
profit through a campaign mode by means of convergence of financial resources and
interdepartmental coordination through a well defined perspective plan called District
irrigation plan incorporating annual action action plans for forthcoming 6 years to achieve the
vision of 100 percent irrigation
The major objectives of Pradhan Mantra Krishi Sinchaye Youjna –District irrigation plan
are:
To prepare a comprehensive irrigation plan for the district for the coming five years,
converging the efforts of different district departments to achieve maximum output and
efficiency.
Conserve rain water which is being wasted as runoff so that the water can be used for
enhancing livelihoods.
Enhance physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under
assured irrigation.
To ensure participation of farmers and other stake holders and existing people‟s
institutions like Water users associations so that planning and implementation is more
democratic and there is equitable distribution of precious water resource.
To encourage people to adopt crop patterns suitable to local water availability so that
water usage is more sustainable.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 10
Increase the water use efficiency through precise irrigation technologies like drip and
sprinkler irrigation.
Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices.
Achieve convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level (preparation of
district level and, if required, sub district level water use plans).
Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under
assured irrigation (Har Khet ko pani).
Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water
through appropriate technologies and practices.
Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both
in duration and extent.
Enhance the adoption of precision-irrigation and other water saving technologies
(More crop per drop).
Enhance recharge of aquifers and introduce sustainable water conservation practices.
Ensure the integrated development of rainfed areas using the watershed approach
towards soil and water conservation, regeneration of ground water, arresting runoff,
providing livelihood options and other NRM activities.
Promote extension activities relating to water harvesting, water management and crop
alignment for farmers and grass root level field functionaries.
Explore the feasibility of reusing treated municipal waste water for periurban
agriculture.
Attract greater private investments in irrigation.
This will in turn increase agricultural production and productivity
and enhance farm income.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 11
iv. Strategy /Approach of plan preparation
Methodology
District Irrigation Plan (DIP) prepared by the Distinct Level irrigation Committee
followed the methodology suggested by guidelines prescribed by Govt. of India. DLIC
followed the participatory Planning process and Participatory Rural Appraisal tools ti involve
Gram Panchayat (G.P.) and the committee in the grass root Planning process. A Road map
was developed to achieve the desired result in the allocated time frame, Block wise separate
teams were constituted comprising of civil Engineers and field level staff of concerning
departments. The teams took lead in consultation co ordination, collection of information from
all possible sources collecting the data set and information to derive certain definitive
appraisal of the current situation and comprehending the proposals to be included in the final
plan with active support from the Gram Panchayat and other Public representatives.
A District Level Implementation Committee (DLIC) headed by District Collector
with the members of head of the concerning departments, leading NGOs and progressive
farmers taken the responsibility of orientation Training cum Workshop in the entire Planning
process. The DLIC have conducted one district Level training cum workshop and one Block
level training cum workshop in each block with officials and functionaries of concern
departments. The DLIC conducted a series of internal meetings to build the capacity of core
members and get feedback during preparing the plan. Block level Coordination
committees were also formed in leadership of the Sub divisional magistrates of concerned
areas for ensuring coordination in planning amongst various department with resolution of
issues regarding land availability, forest acts and technical feasibility checks in all 11 blocks
of Sagar district.Video recording and process documentation was done to capture the wish
list of public representatives and villagers for feasibility checks.
A District level Advisory board was also constituted involving renowned
generalists, HOD of the Geology department of Sagar Central University, KVK Scientists,
Central ground water board officials, Chief engineer irrigation department, Forest officers,
Renowned NGO in planning and implementation sector, General manager industries,
Representative from bina refinery,Joint Director Planning Sgara and progressive farmer
member of Bio diversity Board which provided time to time suggestions for envisioning
exercise and perspective plan.

Planning team carrying out the task in time bound schedule and in a manner that facilitates
adequate interaction with Gram Panchayat functionaries ducted public representatives; A
detailed plan of Action for preparation of DIP was finalized during the internal consultation
meeting of DLIC.
The district level implementation committee also decided to prepare a software based
MIS for assets mapping and capturing the private sources of irrigation .A consulting NGO
PRAJEEV is also assigned tasks for preparation of GIS maps, Drainage maps and land use
maps for clear assessment of dark zones for preparing action plan and area specific need
assessment and solutions.
Rounds of Meetings with industrialist, progressive farmers, NGOs and advisory board
contributed a lot in preparing better district irrigation plan.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 13
Collection of Primary Information
The team members visited each village carrying out the interactive process for joint
reflection and collective appraisal with the local communities active involving local leadership
to acquire the desired information as per prescribed schedules. This process helped in public
awareness nationalizing the priorities, identifying critical issues, crystallizing the options and
alternatives communities aspiration and indigenous knowledge individually and communities
conduct them self to drive their livelihood.
Collection of Secondary Data
The operational task team started desk review and developed check list of reports of
the concern department for collection, compilation collecting and analysis of the secondary
data set. Efforts were made to collect the published and authentic records from the concern
departments for preparing the District Irrigation Plan. SREP from ATMA and CDAP from
departments of Agriculture & Farmer Wale Fare have been collected for reference and
review to incorporate the key findings in terms of specific needs under each agrological
situation.
Reconaissance Survey
A multi disciplinary team of experts in irrigation and watershed management
systems specialist visited the district for visual observations and spontaneous interaction with
the Rural Communities, Farmer group discussion were conducted at block and cluster level
to understand their aspirations and gauge the prospect district vision and its realization on
the ground.
Processing and Analysis
All the collected information from both primary and secondary sources desk review
and research notes was analyzed and calibrated. The analyzed data have been used
develop vision, document, strategy and Action Plan for the district.
Develop Map Dossier
Operational task team has arranged dynamic digital maps using spatial technology
with geo referencing of the district with block boundaries block maps with village boundaries
and has developed thematic maps by inserting the data set with appropriate legends.
Hydrogy,geology.lithology,drainage,soil types and other maps are also prepared for
ascertaining the strata and topography of district for precise and scientific planning The maps
appended with the report for easy understanding and future monitoring of the Action Plan.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 14
Strategy and approach
The district will adopt a holistic approach with coordination of Agriculture as Nodal
department addressing issues related agriculture, crop alignment and micro irrigation
by dovetailing schemes components of ATMA,NFSM,RKVY,NMOP & National mission for
sustainable agriculture NMSA, forest department dealing in water conservation and soil
moisture restoration works in ridge and areas dovetailing schemes of forest department and
working plan for conservation of wild life and forest ,PHED with Accelerated rural
drinking water progarmme to cater need of drinking and domestic need of water
,Irrigation department command area development completing the ongoing works in time
under AIBP and creation of new surface water infrastructure related to storage and
command area development with simultaneous efforts of reducing conveyance losses in
water by RRR of old structures like Baher,chopra ,bawri ,reservoirs, dam, barrage and
canals which may include diversion based or lift irrigation also, Department of rural
development taking up the desilting and repair works of water bodies under MGNREGS as
well as watershed development with cluster approach in non command areas identified as
per watershed atlas and state watershed perspective plans upto XII plan period under
PMKSY(watershed) and MGNREGS liking NRLM with farmers common interest groups for
horticulture and dairy development in Sagar district for sustainable livelihood development
works for accomplishing the vision to double the present income of rural households
especially farmers, horticulture department taking up activities and demonstration of micro
and precession irrigation techniques for converting at lead 30 % agriculture area to
horticulture as contingent plan for sustainable agriculture in situations of low rainfall or
seasonal major crop diseases.
Strategy of the district is divided in two phases of long term and short term measures:
Long term measures-These may include Narmad-Sonar river Link project ,Bina-Betwa
link project , Bina multipurpose irrigation project, Ken betwa link project , Sonpur ,Padkul
,Satdhara ,Jera and bila projects with full command area development etc for irrigation and
domestic purposes keeping in view the regional water demands in various blocks of Sagar as

development and forest for soil moisture conservation and ground water recharge and
interventions in better techniques and crop alignment for better production with minimal water
uses in per drop more crop mode.
v. Rationale / Justification Statement: In reference to the status and need
of irrigation
The total geographical area of Sagar district is 1087332 Ha scattered in 11 tehsil
(Taluka) having overall agriculture land in year 2015 as 739731 heactares out of which 52%
area is irrigated hence there is a gap of 48 % in access to irrigation to every farm(Har khet
ko pani) which is targeted to be achieved upto 2022.
The Malthone ,Banda,Shahgarh ,Rahatgarh and Sagar tehsil are having major gap in
irrigation potential due to undulating topography because of which command area
development through canals cannot be done in whole area .The topography of the district is
undulating upper valley separated by hilly area and forest which is 32 % of the total
geographical area of the district.
Similarly industrial zone wise Bina is the major industrial area of the district which
have a major demand of water for industrial purposes vis a vis draining effluent in Bina and
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 16
Betwa river and other drains of district for which need and effluent treatment plants are
analyzed in the DIP.
Upcoming industries like Bina refinery extension plan ,Cheola industrial area Deori
,Urban periphery agriculture water needs ,Dairy water needs ,water needed in hospitals,
hotels, hostels and drinking water purposes is also kept in mind while formulating DIP and
annual action plans strategically to cater need of domestic, livestock, crop and industrial
water demand in the district so that water availability for irrigation purposes can be calculated
and ensured through creation of new surface water storage structures, ground water
sources and minimizing water use by use of micro and precision irrigation like drip and
sprinklers.
For assuring access of water to every farm and enhancing productivity other
measures and interventions in agriculture and horticulture like mulching, SRI paddy
cultivation, laser leveling of land ,ground water recharge and soil moisture conservation
through farm bunding ,gullies and drain line treatment works will taken up in cluster approach
each year scaling up the successful intervention by training and awareness amongst farmers
and water users by various line departments through extension workers .
The investment proposed component wise in the strategic action plan of the district
irrigation plan having components PMKSY(Watershed) PMKSY (har khet ko pani)
PMKSY(Per drop more crop including Schemes like NMSA,NMOP,NFSM,RKVY),
PMKSY(RRR),PMKSY(ABIP),PMKSY(MGNREGS) & MLA/MP LAD funds .Special efforts
are done by Shri Vikas Narwal (IAS) Collector and District Magistrate Sagar in envisaging
industrial water demand and supply management in future with discussion and suggestions
incorporated in strategy for crop alignment as per area specific soil health and water
availability season wise even including the post monsoon phasing of closures of nallah,
kadi shutters(Gates) of stop dams reservoirs in specific time to retain water for domestic
and agriculture purposes. Dark zones in grond water level in each block are identified with
the help of inputs of hydrological and geological analysis of such areas and proposing pipe
water supply, lift irrigation schemes by solar electrification and canal tail water flow
management to utilize the surplus water and other intervention involving joint field visits
with by Revenue, Forest and irrigation department officials jointly .
While preparing district irrigation plan the livelihood development plans under NRLM
and PMKSY Watershed livelihood component) are also dovetailed especially in dairy and
horticulture sector to ensure green fodder availability and developing dairy as a agri allied
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 17
sector in Sagar foreseeing the increasing demand of milk and dairy products in Bina and
adjoining Jabalpur and Bhopal district .The demand of water and existing irrigation potential
is analyzed block wise keeping in view the urban and industrial need of water .

Chapter-I:
General Information of the District:
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 19
District Profile:
History
The history of the town of Sagar dates back to about 1660 A.D. When Udan Shah, a
descendant of Nihal Shah, built a small fort on the site of the present one, and founded a
village close to it called Parkota which is now part of town. The present fort and a settlement
under its walls was founded by Govind Rao Pandit, an officer of the Peshwa, who held
charge of Sagar and the surrounding territory after 1735 A.D., when it came under the
Peshwa's possession.
In 1818 A.D., the greater part of the district was ceded by the Peshwa Baji Rao II to the
British Government, while different parts of the rest of the present district of Sagar came in
the possession of the British at different times between 1818 and 1860. The Dhamoni
pargana of Banda tahsil was ceded in 1818 A.D. by Appaji Bhonsla. The Bhera pargana of
Banda tahsil was acquired by transfer from the Bundelkhand States in 1818 A.D. The
parganas, Rahatgarh in Sagar tahsil and
Garhakota, Deori, Gourjhamer and
Naharmow in Rehli tahsil collectively
known as Punch Mahal were originally
made over to British by Sindhiya at
different dates from 1820 to 1825 for
management. The Shahgarh pargana of
Banda tahsil was confiscated in 1857 in
consequence of the rebellion of the chief. The Kanjia pargana of Khurai tahsil was acquired
from Sindhia by a treaty in 1860 A.D. A small area in the north -east corner of the tahsil
around the village of Hirapur was similarly transferred to the British from the Charkhari State
to Bundelkhand and added to the district after the uprising of 1857.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 20
Location of district
The district of Sagar lies in
the north central region of Madhya
Pradesh. It was spelled as Saugar
during the British period. It is
situated between 23 deg 10‟ and
24 deg 27‟ north latitude and
between 78 deg 4‟ and 79 deg 21‟
east longitude, the district has a
truly central location in the country.
The tropic of cancer passes
through the southern part of the district.
Origin
The origin of the name comes from the Hindi word SAGAR meaning lake or sea,
apparently because of the large and once beautiful lake around which the town of Sagar has
been built. Sagar was founded by Udan Singh
in 1660 and was constituted a municipality in
1867. A major road and agricultural trade
centre, it has industries such as oil and flour
milling, saw-milling, ghee processing,
handloom cotton weaving, bidi manufacture
and railway and engineering works. It is
known in all over India due to its University
named as Dr. Harisingh Gaur University and Army Cantonment and recently it has come
into lime light due to Bhagyodyay Tirth a charitable hospital named after a Jain Sant Shri
VidyaSagarji Maharaj. It is known for Police Training College which are only two in Madhya
Pradesh other one is in Indore. Head quarter of Forensic Science Lab is also in SAGAR.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 21
Administratively, the position of Sagar and the neighbouring territories underwent
frequent changes. The Saugor
territory was, first of all, placed
under the superintendent of
Political Affairs of Bundelkhand.
Later, in 1820, this area, called the
Saugor and Nerbudda Territories,
was placed under the
administration of an Agent to the
governer-General. When the
North-Western Province was
constituted in 1835, the Saugor
and Nerbudda Territories were
included in this province. In 1842
occurred the Bundela rising, the quelling of which demanded a more direct attention by the
Governor-General. But order was restored in the following year, and the Saugor and
Nerbudda Territories were again placed under the political control of an Agent to the
Governor-General. The arrangement however, was not found to be satisfactory and these
territories were once again restored to the North-Western Provinces in 1853. Thereafter in
1861 the Saugor and Nerbudda territories, along with the Nagpur state formed a
Commissioner's Province called Central Provinces.
Sagar, which was the headquarters of the Sagar Commissionership for a short period,
ceased to be so in 1863-64, when this district was incorporated with Jabalpur
Commissionership. In the year 1932 the district of Damoh was added to Sagar district and
was administrated as Sub-Division. In 1956, however, Damoh Sub-Division was again
separated from the district to form a separate district and Sagar district consisted of four
tehsils viz, Sagar, Khurai, Rehli, Banda
Geographical Area: The district is situated on the north by Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh, on
the south by the district of Narsinghpur and Raisen, on the west by the district of Vidisha ,
and on the east by the district of Damoh, which was previously formed the part of Sagar
District. On the notheast and north-west, the district adjoins Chhattarpur and Guna districts,
respectively. The district is accessible by rail as the town of Sagar lies on the Bina Katni
branch line of Centra railway. Sagar is 76 Km from Bina which is on the Bombay Delhi main

Sagar lies in an extensive plain
broken by low, forested hills and
watered by Sonar river. Wheat,
chickpeas, soghum, and oilseeds are
chief crops of the region, there is extensive cattle raising. Sandstone, Limestone, iron ore
and asbestos deposits are worked. The archaeological site nearby Eran has revealed
several Gupta inscriptions. District Sagar is predominantly a Scheduled Caste/Backward
class district. These together form about 75% of the district. The district has sizable
population of tribals who are named as Rajgonds after their kingdom.

'Reserved' forests and 325.55 sq. miles of 'Protected' forests, an area of about 92 sq. miles
of forests is under the control of the Revenue Department. Village papers recorded an area
of 7,30,856 acres (1,142 sq miles) in the district as forests in the year 1959-60. This came to
about 29 per cent of the total geographical area of the district. According to the Departmental
figures forests cover an area of 1,065.35 sq. miles consisting of 739.80 sq.miles of
'Reserved' forests and 325.55 sq. miles of 'Protected' forests. Besides this an area of about

According to the Surveyor-General of India, the district has a total area of 10252 sq Kms and
is shaped roughly like a triangle.
Agriculture scenario
The District of Sagar is predominantly a Rabi area. Wheat crop is the agricultural
staple. other staple crops are gram, linseed and jowar. Mixed cropping is resorted to as a
measure of insurance against the vagaries of nature. Rabi is the main cropping season,
though the proportion of Rabi to kharif has varied from time to time.Occasionally, the Kharif
crop exceeded the Rabi when wheat crop was badly affected by rust or frost or when bad
season hampered rabi sowing. When the season conditions came to normality the Rabi
crops were gradually restored to their original position of prominence. Conversely whenever
there are heavy and continuous rains through July and August which prevent the ploughs
from getting to work, or Kharif crops get rotten particularly in low-lying and water-logged
areas, they are ploughed and diverted to Rabi sowings. The climatic conditions thus largely
determine the relative weightage given to Kharif and Rabi crops in a particular year
Major Crops
WHEAT
Wheat is the most important crop and the cultivators prefer to grow it first. There are several
varieties of local wheat which are roughly divided by the cultivators into Gehun and Pissi.
Former includes all the hard or macaroni wheat which are primarily grown for home
consumption.The latter is soft common wheat meant for outside market.
GRAM
Next in importance to wheat is gram. It is grown partly on good black soil as an alternative to
wheat and partly on inferior black soils, unfit for wheat, sometimes in rotation with wheat or
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 26
jowar. It is a favourable first crop on newly broken black soil, if there is any kans left on it.
Gram fertilizes the soil in which it is grown
LINSEED
Linseed is an important commercial crop, and is grown on poorer wheat land or land unfit for
wheat. It does not always follow the fortunes of wheat hence cultivators often sow linseed
with wheat so as to insure against a failure of their staple crop of wheat. It is grown not
infrequently mixed with gram as well as with wheat. Its cultivation is attended with
considerable risks and is considered speculative. It is also exhausting to the soil. From the
cultivator's point of view it has the advantage that it requires less quantity of seed to sow in
comparison to wheat, and is generally successful when gram and wheat fail. Its area is
determined by the state of the market and fluctuates violently.
JOWAR
Jowar is the most important amongst the Kharif crops and stands next to wheat as a food-
crop. It is often grown on good land in rotation with wheat. It sometimes does particularly well
in light soil villages where wheat does not prove equally successful. Failure of wheat harvest
is followed by an immediate expansion of the jowar area, partly because wheat seed is likely
to be in short supply and partly to replenish the larder as it ensures early supply of food-
grains.It has the added advantage that it provides fodder for the cattle.
PADDY
crop in the district. It is confined to small plots round the village site to which drainage from
houses can be easily diverted, the manured gadas, small embanked fields, wet land below
tanks and along the edges of a water spread. It is also occasionally grown in scattered hills
or hollows of trap formations.
SESAMUM
Til is usually of the white autumn variety and is grown chiefly in the Rehli tahsil. When late til
is likely to be caught by frost and if the monsoon is delayed sowings are at once affected, In
the northern tahsils the hardier ramtil is preferred and is a common crop on the inferior rains.
FRUITS and VEGETABLES
Fruits and vegetables occupied 36,312 acres in 2014-15 out of which Tomato potato. onioin,
garlic, chilly and cauliflower are major vegetable crop in Sagar which produces 4.2
thousand tons of vegetable produces . After irrigation potential being developed under
command area development the area of vegetable anf fruit cultivation is rapidly increasing in
the district with new techniques of raised furrow and precision irrigation techniques of
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 27
mulching and drip irrigation which has to be promoted more in district with on farm transfer
of technology to the farmers .
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
The cattle besides being a source of milk supply are used as draught animal for the plough
or the cart. Without cattle no cultivation would be possible, without cattle no produce could be
transported.
DAIRY FARMING
The Civil Veterinary Department, Madhya Pradesh established a dairy farm at Ratona on 1st
Octber 1946. It is situated at a distance of seven miles from Sagar, on the right side of
Sagar-Bhopal Road. Tharparkar cows and murrah breeds of buffaloes are being kept at the
dairy farm for the production of milk. Hariana cows were also kept for this purpose. The dairy
is at present supplying good amount of milk of milk per day to the Sagar Town It also
supplies bulls for breeding milch cattle.
Sagar Dugdh Sangh with a packaging and chilling processing plant situated at sironja in
sagar contributes a lot in Backward and forward linkage of dairy activity in terms of backward
linkage the AI services and cattle feed with training are given to milk producers and in terns
of forward linkage a good chain of milk route and procurement network is estabilished for
purchase and marketing of milk and milk products with weekly payment system to milk
producers which is s considerable livelihood means for small land holding or landless
households linked to dairy farming.
CATTLE FAIRS
The periodical fairs held in different places in the district stimulate the development of the
quality of cattle. The weekly markets at Khurai attract a large number and variety of cattle.
Similar markets are held at Kesli in Rehli tahsil and at Rahatgarh in Sagar tahsil. But by far
the largest market is during the annual fair held at Garhakota. It is held from Basant
Panchami to Holi every year and is reputed to be of ancient origin, having been started by
Raja Mardan Singh some 150 years ago. The fair is still called after his name and is said to
be largest fair in the Mahakoshal region of the State. The animals bought and sold at the fair
are bulls, bullocks, cows, buffaloes and horses.
The weekly cattle fairs in Rahatgarh and Kesli also contribute in exchange of old cattle by
the hybrid ones .
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 28
POULTRY FARMING
Backyard poultry is a traditional practice in the district .The gound, sounr tribal
community and and some SC community. The poultry birds are used for food and egg
production. As the eggs are gradually occupying increasing place in the Indian diet on
account of their nutritive value, their demand is also steadily increasing. Consequently
improved methods are being adopted for poultry farming with a view to stepping up their
production. White Leghorn which is a good laying breed is getting popular in the district.
FISHERIES
Psiculture is a traditional activity for livelihood in Raikwar and some tribal communities
in the district. The major fish producing areas are Rajghat dam, Bila Dam, Dalpatpur dam,
Kishanpur, Jalandhar, Mohar, Samnapur and Satdhara .Although some traditional water
bodies and rivers also contribute in major and minor reservoirs of water storage created
under bundelkhand package in last 7 years the fish production of the district increased in
measurable terms. A large variety of fishes are found in the district. The more common
species are four varieties of major carps, viz., labeo rohita, labeo calbasu, catla catla and
cirrhina mrigal have been taken up for pond culture in the district.

Village papers recorded an area of 7,30,856 acres (1,142 sq miles) in the district as
forests in the year 1959-60. This came to about 29 per cent of the total geographical area of
the district. According to the Departmental figures forests cover an area of 1,065.35 sq. miles
consisting of 739.80 sq.miles of 'Reserved' forests and 325.55 sq. miles of 'Protected'
forests. Besides this an area of
about 92 sq. miles of forests
(classified as chhota-ghas) is
under the control of the

Sagar district is 333237
hectares which is about 27
percent of the total geographical
area of the district. All
Development Blocks of the
district are having a considerable area under forest. The forests of Sagar district belong to
the Northern Tropical Drry-Deciduous type according to Champion's Classification (group 4b)
The forests of the district can be considered under the following broad sub-types:- (i) Teak
forests : (a) Teak forest on alluvium. (b) Teak forest on trrap. sandstone etc. (ii) Mixed
forests. (iii) Khair forests.
The plants or trees used for fuel wood are stakatha,Babool,Teak branches and
other local fuel wood some bushy trees like Ber and Renja are also used for fuel wood
.Generally the female members of the rural households goes for collection of fuel wood and
there is a excessive pressure on forest area in demand of fule wood .Although the
awareness campaign by forest department sagar and time to time action against the fuel
wood cutting villagers check the exploitation of forest for fuel wood.Alternative measures like
distribution of cooker, solar lantern and LPG gas stove and cylinder by government has
checked a lot the fuel wood related exploitation of forest.

1.3.2 Biomass
Biomass is organic matter derived from living, or recently living organisms. Biomass
can be used as a source of energy and it most
often refers to plants or plant-based materials
which are not used for food or feed, and are
specifically called lignocellulosic biomass . As an
energy source, biomass can either be used
directly via combustion to produce heat, or
indirectly after converting it to various forms
of biofuel. Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are
broadly classified into: thermal, chemical, and biochemical methods. Historically, humans
have harnessed biomass-derived energy since the time when people began burning wood to
make fire. Even today, biomass is the only source of fuel for domestic use in many
developing countries. Biomass is all biologically-produced matter based in carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen.
Wood remains the largest biomass energy source today examples include forest residues
(such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps), yard clippings, wood chips and
even municipal solid waste. Wood energy can be derived by using lignocellulosic biomass
(second-generation biofuels) as fuel.In sagar district industrial biomass can be grown from
numeroustypesofplants,including Maze/Jwar Straw, sorghum, sugarcane, bamboo,
soyabean straw and Arhar straw and a variety of tree species, ranging from
eucalyptus to Karanj.
Based on the source of biomass, biofuels are classified broadly into two major
categories. First-generation biofuels are derived from sources such as sugarcane
,soyabean and Maize starch. Sugars present in this biomass are fermented to
producebioethanol, an alcohol fuel which can be used directly in a fuel cell to produce
electricity or serve as an additive to gasoline. However, utilizing food-based resources for
fuel production only aggravates the food shortage problem. Second-generation biofuels,
on the other hand, utilize non-food-based biomass sources such as agriculture and
municipal waste. These biofuels mostly consist of lignocellulosic biomass, which is not
edible and is a low-value waste for many industries.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 35
Plant energy is produced by crops specifically grown for use as fuel that offer high
biomass output per hectare with low input energy. The grain can be used for liquid
transportation fuels while the straw can be burned to produce heat or electricity. Plant
biomass can also be degraded from cellulose to glucose through a series of chemical
treatments, and the resulting sugar can then be used as a first-generation biofuel.
Some plants are setup is sagar in subhashnagar inductrual area for production of biomass by
soyabean and lantana starw which are running as a profitable business model and have
good scope of expansion with PPP.
1.3.3 Green fodder yield and water requirement:
Water plays an important role in livestock productivity. Livestock productivity in
pastoral areas depends greatly on the availability of water. There are several factors, which
determine water balance, water turnover and functions of the animal. Assessment of
livestock and water requirement is helpful in modelling water and livestock relationships. The
demand for meat, dairy products and eggs rises faster than the demand for crops; thus both
scenarios call for livestock production to increase relatively more rapidly than crops.
The world livestock system is broadly divided into pastoral grazing, mixed farming and
industrial systems . Estimate of the current demand of 1.7 billion tons of cereals and 206
million tones of meat in developing countries could rise by 2020 to 2.5 to 2.8 billion tones of
cereals and to 310 millions of tons of meat (IFPRI 2000). Water is used by the herbivore as a
medium for physical and chemical energy transfer, namely for evaporative cooling and
intermediary metabolism
Livestock and poultry water consumption depend on a number of physiological and
environmental conditions such as:
Type and size of animal or bird.
Physiological state (lactating, pregnant or growing)
Activity level.
Type of diet-dry hay, silage or lush pasture.
Temperature-hot summer days above 25 0C can sometimes double the water
consumption of animals.
Water quality - palatability and salt content.
Fodder availability is major issue in district as the straw is burnt by 50 % farmers in their
fields after harvest of crop by harvesters, the farmers has increased the use of harvesters in
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 36
harvesting crops due to non availability of agriculture labor in the harvest season which
causes severe loss of soil moisture and effects on farm ecology which in result effects
production. Distrct administration has kept in mind the cycles of production of green fodder
water demand for green fodder production for better backward linkage in dairy development
and taken up measures like banning harvesters use without straw extracting machine as a
add on with harvester .The harvesters running without straw cutting machines will be
banned in district boundary as measures to maintain biomass .

The need of dry fodder is supplemented by the crop residue straw and some local
grass which is available on the pasture land in the district. Forest department has developed
some chain linked plantation in which the fodder development interventions are done through
JFMC(Van samitti) Department of rural development and veterinary department have done
some positive interventions through funds of bundelkhand package in green fodder
development though participation of villagers which are resulting in fodder availability even in
drought seasons. Huge demand supply gap exists in forage seed. The seed companies are
not coming forward for production of forage seeds. This is a major cause of concern for
development of dairy sector in the Sagar. The seed companies and KVK have to take-up
forage seed production on a priority basis. In parallel, the dairy cooperatives should be
encouraged to grow forage seeds by help of technology given by dugdh sangh so as to
assure green and dry fodder availability in the district.
1.3.4 Livestock Resources:
Livestock is the major stake for which need of water must be envisage as after
domestic need of the population ,water must be secured for livestock population .Sagar
district have more indigenous cattle population and the pasture land is squeezing day by day
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 37
due to which the problem of availability of fodder is going chronic. The milch livestock is less productive due to lack in awareness
and availability of quality fodder amongst farmers and cattle owners .The district administration has started making efforts with coordination
of veterinary and rural development department to aware the farmers about importance of green and quality fodder for increasing milk
production and livestock quality.The following table depicts the livestock poluation of the district

1.3.5 Milk Production Statistics
Sagar being a district of Bundelkhand region faces erratic rainfall due to which
situations of drought are common .In this scenario by interventions under Bundelkhand
package for green fodder development and dairy development dairy cooperative
societies are formed with input of essential infrastrutre for collection and testing of milks
in the developed and identified milk routes .Dairy development is now emerging as a
good agri allied activity for rural poor marginal and landless households. Due to scanty
rainfall since last 4 years the agriculture production is decreasing day by day and due to
non availability of other sources of income the farmers are under great pressure of
financial crises. The agriculture loans are converting in to the NPAs.
In this difficult situation dairy is one of the good subsidiary option for the farmers.
The use of farm yard manure is decreasing day by day .Agriculture and dairy activities
are complimentary to each other keeping in view this matrix cow urine use, organic
farming and other farm based practices are promoted in district to minimize use of
fertilizers and pesticide in crop so as to minimize the use of water in crops by crop
management practices.
Functional MIlk routes are
1.Sagar-Gourjhamar-Kesli-Tada
2.Sagar-Banda-Shahagarh
3.Sagar-Sihora-Rahatgarh
Identified milk routes are:-
1. Jaisinagar-Rajghat-Sagar
2. Rehli-Gadakota-Sagar
3. Malthone-Rajwans –Sagar
4. Bina-Kurai-Sagar
The Sagar dugdh Sangh having packaging and processing plant at Sinronja sagar
procures and market the milk and milk products after due processing and

Although total milk production in the district is about 93000 liters per day out which
only 21767 liters is procured by dairy federation Madhya Pradesh and other milk is sold
to private dairy enterprises in Sagar and adjoining districts. There is great demand of
milk and milk products in Sagar and adjoining districts .There is good potential and
opportunity for development of dairy as allied activity in Sagar
1.4 Agro-Ecology, Climate, Hydrology and Topography:
Agro-ecology is the study of ecological processes that operate in agricultural
production systems. The prefix agro- refers to agriculture. Bringing ecological principles
to bear in agro-ecosystems can suggest novel management approaches that would not
otherwise be considered. In context to Sagar district the agro-ecology is the application
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 40
of ecological concepts and methodological design for long-term enhancement and
management of soil fertility and agriculture productivity.
Sagar district is divided in to 4 (AES) Agro Ecological Situations. These situations
are based on the major factors i.e. Rainfall, soil depth topography and irrigation
facilities. These situations wise survey helped to understanding the situation specific
research and extension priorities and need for strategic planning of the district.
Brief description of identified Agro ecological situations including their
characteristics and coverage is given in the following tables.

Rainfall and Climate
The climate of Sagar district can be classified mainly into three season. Winter
season starts from middle of November to end of February. March to May constitute
summer season and the monsoon season starts from second week of June to end of
September. There are six rain gauge stations in Sagar district. Maximum rainfall occurs
along the south western boundary of the district and decreases towards the north and
slightly towards the east. In the southwestern parts of the district, Rehli gets a marked
amount of low rainfall mainly due to its location in the valley on the leeward side of the
hill range. The normal annual rainfall of the district is 1197.6 mm. About 90% of the
annual rainfall takes place during the southwest monsoon period i.e. June to September
only 5.5% of annual rainfall takes place during water and about 4.5% of rainfall occurs
during the summer months. During winter season the January is the coldest months
with the temperature falling as low as 11.60g C and max up to 24.50 C. During the
month of May, temperature goes up to 40.70 C (max.)..The agriculture sown area and
production depends a lot on rainfall and climate .Since last 10 years the rainfall is erratic
hence agriculture production is severly effected but by interventions done under
bundelkhand package drought mitigation measures have been taken and now farmers
have contingent plans as per the rainfall predictions in the district.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 42
The strategy of Sagar district is to increase diversified agro-ecosystem through
Dairy and animal husbandry with horticulture at least in 30 percent agriculture land
holding area is planned to be promoted in Sagar district benefiting the effect of the
Sagar even in case of uneven rainfall patters in future .The following table shows
rainfall and temperature related metrological data of last 10 years
The wind speed and humidity of Sagar can be considered as moderate as the
district is in central zone of India and do not get effected from severe hot or cold
weather conditions. The topography of the district is hilly and undulating and this is the
main reason behind the uneven rainfall trends in the district in various blocks.
The climate of Sagar district characterized by a hot summer and general dryness
except during the south west monsoon season. The year may be divided into four
seasons. The cold season, December to February is followed by the hot season from
March to about the middle of June. The period from the middle of June to September is
the southwest monsoon season. October and November form the post monsoon or
transition period.
. Only 7.8 % of the annual rainfalls take place during October to May period. The
surplus water for groundwater recharge is available only during the southwest monsoon
period. The normal maximum temperature received during the month of May is 41.5 oC
and minimum during the month of January is 3.8 degree celcius. The normal annual
means maximum and minimum temperature of Sagar district are 32.0 degree celcius.
and 17.5 degree celcius. respectively. During the southwest monsoon season the
relative humidity generally exceeds 83% (August month). In rest of the year is drier. The
driest part of the year is the summer season, when relative humidity is less than 28%.
May is the driest month of the year. The wind velocity is higher during the pre-monsoon
period as compared to post monsoon period. The maximum wind velocity 11.1 km/hr
observed during the month of June and is minimum 2.4 km/hr during the month of
December.
The average normal annual wind velocity of Sagar district is 6.2 km/hr.

1.5 Soil Profile :
1.4.1 Soil
Soil is a major part of the natural environment, alongside air and water, and is vital to
the existence of life on the planet. Soil is the result of the process of the gradual breakdown
of rock - the solid geology that makes up the earth. As rock becomes broken down through a
variety of processes, such as weathering and erosion, the particles become ground smaller
and smaller. the south and south west. It lies just north of the Narmada river and is separated
from tis valley by a steep escarpment towards the south. The area is by and large cropped
by the deccan trap lava flows whereas at places vindhayan sandstone also crops out. The
average elevation of the district is about 452 to 533 mamsl. It ranges from 353 mamsl in the
Dhasan river bed in the north to 683 mamsl at Naharmau peak in the southwest.
As a whole, soil is made up from four constituents: mineral material, organic material,
air and water. There are considered to be three main mineral parts to soil; „sand‟, „silt‟ and
„clay‟. These parts give the soil its 'mineral texture'. In addition, as leaves and other organic
material fall to the ground and decompose - there also forms an „organic‟ layer. Soil scientists
(or pedologists) use a series of sieves to separate out the constituent parts in order to
characterise soil by texture class.
Many natural bodies, such as plants and animals, are discrete entities which can be
classified and guidelines for their identification followed. Soils are much more difficult to
identify and classify than these discrete bodies for two main reasons: (i) soil is more or less a
continuum covering the land surface of the earth, not a set of discrete entities; and (ii) most
of the soil is below ground and therefore not readily visible. Soils grade into one another
across the landscape usually without sharp boundaries between one type of soil and
another. Soil surveyors who make maps of soils have to use their skills in reading changes in
the landscape coupled with auger borings in the soil to identify the nature of the soil.The
dominant soil scapes of the area represented by gently to very gently sloping, shallow and
moderately deep, Ustorthents and Ustochrepts, respectively grading to nearly level, deep
chromusterts. The soil of the district fall in dry sub-humid region, the dominant soil scapes of
the area are represented by gentle to very gentle slope, shallow and moderately deep with
the moisture index ranging from (-) 03 to (-) Nutrient availability and their retention lead to
better response to fertilization. The surface of the soil crack during dry period and the
subsurface shows shining pressure faces of the peds indicating moderate to high shrink
swell potential. The clay content ranges between 63 to 65% abruptly decreasing to 54% in
the sub soil region. These are highly saturated soils and the exchange complex is dominantly
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 45
saturated by divalent while the montmorillonite constitute the dominate clay material in the
exchange complex. Different type of soil found in different parts of the district. However, light
black soils, light Red and thick red soils with core sand are the predominant soil types
available in the district.

Slope and slope classes
Slope of land is also one of the important physiographic aspects influencing the
landuse of an area. The effect of slope on agriculture may be both direct and indirect. The
most obvious direct influence of slope is in the form of the restrained on cultivation and
accessibility. The indirect effect of slope manifests itself in pedagogical and climatic
modification including the position of water table, development of soils, air drainage, and
relative freedom from frost. This classification gives information regarding slope percent

This soil is found on hillsides and in the areas occupied by the Deccan Lava flows. It is
suited to wheat, masur and gram. Bhanwar is a gray colored soil, mixture of Kalmat and
Soyar soils. It is loose textured retains moisture considerably. Soyar or Pitula is yellow or
brownish colour, shallow in thickness, large to small pebbles and is found on the slop of hills.
Siari is a poor soil of grey yellowish or reddish black colour. It is loose and sandy in
constitution. If irrigated, it suits to grow rice. It is shallow and does not retain much moisture.
Bharwa is a light, sandy shallow soil of black or brown color. It is found mostly on the
foothills. It grows only the inferior crops. Kachar or Chap is an excellent loamy soil found in
the banks and beds of streams. It grows fine crops of wheat, jawar and vegetable.
1.5.1 Soil Erosion
Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In
agriculture,soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical
forces of weather and wind or through forces associated with farming activities such as
tillage.
Erosion, whether it is by water, wind or tillage, involves three distinct actions – soil
detachment, movement and deposition. Topsoil, which is high in organic matter, fertility and
soil life, is relocated elsewhere "on-site" where it builds up over time or is carried "off-site"
where it fills in drainage channels. Soil erosion reduces cropland productivity and contributes
to the pollution of adjacent watercourses, wetlands, and lakes.
Soil erosion can be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed or can occur at
an alarming rate, causing serious loss of topsoil. Soil compaction, low organic matter, loss of
soil structure, poor internal drainage, salinisation, and soil acidity problems are other serious

soil degradation conditions that can accelerate the soil erosion process. The greater the
intensity and duration of a rainstorm, the higher the erosion potential. The impact of
raindrops on the soil surface can break down soil aggregates and disperse the aggregate
material. Lighter aggregate materials such as very fine sand, silt, clay and organic matter are
easily removed by the raindrop splash and runoff water; greater raindrop energy or runoff
amounts are required to move larger sand and gravel particles.
Soil movement by rainfall (raindrop splash) is usually greatest and most noticeable
during short-duration, high-intensity thunderstorms. Although the erosion caused by
longlasting and less-intense storms is not usually as spectacular or noticeable as that
produced during thunderstorms, the amount of soil loss can be significant, especially when
compounded over time.Data of soil erosion is not available for this district as remote sensing
based soil erosion potential map and data attached and are taken from Sagar sedimentary
monitoring station.
1.5.2 Soil erosion and runoff status Soil erosion is the wearing away of land surface by the action of such natural agencies as
water and wind. Wind erosion in sehore is found normally in summer season, when wind
velocity being high. The soil particles on the land surface are lifted and blown off as dust
storms and the sub soil is exposed as a result productive capacity of soil is considerable
reduced. Water is the major erosive agent and contributes far about 80-85 percent of total
soil erosion. Soil erosion classes derived out of soil survey have been presented in table
given below. It provides the special distribution of different soil erosion classes in the district
that would serve as key information far planning to arrest land degradation process.

by long lasting and less-intense storms is not usually as spectacular or noticeable as that
produced during thunderstorms, the amount of soil loss can be significant, especially when
compounded over time.
1.7 Land Use Pattern:
The status of vegetation cover and land use practices is another precious information
for planning the forest soil and water conservation and horticulture. The land use / land cover
status of the district has been generated by using remote sensing data. The special
distribution of various land use classes has been shown in the table given below.

The production and productivity of any crop depend on irrigation and climatic situations. Rather the production and productivity also
depends on preparation of field , time of sowing, use of proper fertilizers and care of crop.The productivity of all crops in sagar is increased
in last three years .The yellow magic disease in soybean has affected the crop of soyabean last year due which the production and
productivity dropped suddenly resulting in a huge loss to farmers.Seed replacement is essential factor in such situation which is done by
agriculture department and rural development department under PMKSY-watershed under 26 ongoing projects of watershed in the district

The area shown under partially irrigated category is of the irrigation done by wells and tube
wells as in maximum area of the district the wells and tube wells water level is depleting
rapidly due to erratic rainfall in last two years .Only the water level in watershed project areas
is retained due to small runoff control and water conservation works done in last three years.
The water level in command area of some reservviors of irrigation department is also good
but in case of low rainfall the water level gets lower as in command area of Bila dam this
year.
Domestic water availability:-
Sagar district has faced drought like situation in last 7 years due to erratic rainfall
trends .The topography of the district is also such that the rain water runoff very fast from
ridges and causing soil erosion. The local nala/rivuets has got sited due to excessive rainfall
in short period as a atypical change in rainfall pattern in last three years that the rainfall
comes very heavy but for a short time causing runoff and severe erosion. The water does
not percolate into the fractures due to high speed runoff. In some area like Malthone ,
Shahgarh and Banda the strata and soil profile are as such that the water cannot percolate in
ground due to which the water table in these areas is depleting every year. The ground water
recharge structures in these areas are also not fruitful. Hence a special project is to be
formulated with input of GIS technology to ascertain the situation for recharge of these area.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 56
By initiatives taken by district administration and help of local MP/MLA central ground
water board has assigned a technical study to National Institute of hydrology Roorkee for
technical and feasibility survey of this area for maintaining the ground water table and
recharge through creation of surface water storage structures in locations from which stored
water can go in capillaries and fractures of ground water recharge channels and also can be
taken to low lying area through diversion based or gravity based techniques for irrigation
purpose.
In present situation there is acute drinking water shortage as all the surface water
storage tanks have gone below the dead storage due to low rainfall last year and the water
evel in tube wells dug wells has also gone down due to which the drinking water and
domestic water sources has exhausted in majority. The district planning committee has
passed resolution for transportation of water from available sources to the dry area so as to
cater the need of domestic need of water.
District administration has also released water from available storage in sonar and
Dehar river from Satdhara,Sonpur and Samnapur reservoirs for ensuring availability of water
to livestock and domestic need in Deori,Kesli,Rehli & sagar blocks of Sagar district and for
Damoh district also to mitigate the present acute shortage. Forest department also had dug
out water holes in forest areas for making availability of water to wild life at various places
with a vigilant wathch on movement of wild life to check hunting of animals at water holes or
sites where the the animals converge in search of drinking water need.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 57
Chap III Water Availability:
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 58
The water availability in any area depends on the rainfall, aquafiers, drainage network and
ground water status. The district falls in survey of India toposheet No. 55M, 54L and 54P.
The southernmost tip of the district is drained by the Narmada river. However the major part
of the area falls in the Ganga basin. The drainage of the district is towards north and north
east. The five rivers, from west to east are the Bina, the Dhasan, the Bewas, the Sonar and
the Bamner. The Bina takes its course upto several Kilometer to the south of the district and
enters it near village Mahura. After flowing through Rahatgarh, the river takes a north
easterly course and at places forms the boundary with Vidisha district.
The Dhasan emerges from just south of the district and flows initially in the south and
then to the north. It also forms the boundary with Jhansi district of Uttar Pradesh. The Kopra
and Bewas are tributaries of the Sonar. The Sonar joins Bamber and then both river joins
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 59
Ken river. The Ken is a tributary of the Yamuna river. The drainage pattern is of dendritic
type. At a few place especially around Sagar town and near Khimlasa and Jaisinagar radial
drainage pattern is also observed
The physical divisions of the district are represented by the basins of several rivers.
The area in the north west falling under Khurai tehsil is almost a level tract with an elevation
of about 411 to 427 mamsl and is drained towards north-west by Thimpa, Parasasi and Bina
rivers. These rivers are tributaries of the Betwa river. The Khurai plain is separated from the
rest of the district by a series of steeply rising hills. These hills attain an elevation of up to
533 mamsl and also act as a water divide.
To the east of and south-east of the above discussed hills are the five parallel valley of
Dhasan, Bewas, Sonar, Kopra and Bamner rivers. These basins are separated by hills rising
91 to 153 meters above the general ground surface. The highest hill range of Tendu Dabar
attains a height of 665 mamsl.
There is a very prominent lake in Sagar town around which the town has developed. As per
Dr. W.D. West, the lake come into existence due to the erosion of the deccan traps and
exposing the underlying Vindhyans. In Sagar district land forms have been classified on the
basis of genetic factor and the geomorphic processes involved. Further the geomorphic units
have been classified on the basis of different erosion of rock material, process and relief
amplitude. The classified system adopted is as per ITC scheme of classification of land
forms.
Aquifer Parameter
As per the data revealed by central ground water board regional station sagar during
exploratory drilling in Vindhyan limestone (upper Bhander limestone) are also not promising
as in village Garhakota, a 58.3 meter thick zone of Bhander limestone was encountered in
the depth range of 18.7 to 77.0 mbgl. This was underlain by 107.70 meter thick Ganurgarh
shales followed by Rewa sandstone up to the drilled depth of 185 mbgl.
There were several shale bands in the depth range of 30 and 52 mbgl in the
limestone. The limestone also contained solution cavities in the depth range of 18-22 mbgl. A
well assembly tapping the zone between 53 and 69 mbgl was lowered in the bore hole.
During PYT, the discharge obtained was only 0.7 lps for a draw down of 28.21 meters after
100 minutes.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 60
Four exploratory bore holes in deccan trap country were drilled under the Betwa
project. The bore hole at Mirkheri which was 171.33 m deep, encountered nine flows. The
five zones in basalts were encountered in the depth range of 16-17 mbgl, 27.9-31.00 mbgl,
37.7-40.1 mbgl at 47 mbgl and between 58-59 mbgl. All the zones were in
jointed/amydaloidal basalt. The yield of the first and second zones tested together was only
3.2 lps. The tranmissivity was 36.3 m2/day. The yield of the second and third zones tested
together was 16.3 lps and the transmissivity was 432/day.
The borehole at Nirtala was drilled down to 88.68 mbgl and the vindhyan sandstone were
struck at 52 mbgl. water was struck at two depths, between 42-42.5 mbgl in jointed basalt
and at the basalt vindhyan contact at 52-52.5 mbgl. these zones tested together yielded 0.64
lps of water and the transmissivity value was only 0.3 m2/day. Similarly at Sabda the depth
drilled was 85-94 mbgl. the vindhyan basement was struk at 54.2 mbgl. the water bearing
zones were at 48.0 -57.3 mbgl in jointed basalt and at 54.2-54.7 mbal at the basalt vindhyan
contact.

3.2: Status of Ground Water Availability: Ground Water status
Sagar district is underlain by Basaltic lava flows of Deccan trap Vindhyan Sandstone
and Alluvium. Dynamic ground water resources of the district have been estimated for base
year -2008/09 on block-wise basis (table). There are eleven assessment units (block) in the
district which fall under non-command (99 %) and command (1 % Deori, Shahgarh) sub
units. Banda, Rehli and Sagar blocks of the district are categorized. as semi critical and rest
of the blocks are safe. The highest stage of ground water development is computed as 74 %
in Banda block. The net ground water availability in the district 1,12,807 ham and ground
water draft for all uses is 66,079ham, making stage of ground water development 59 % as a
whole for district. After making allocation for future domestic and industrial supply for next 25
years, balance available ground water for future irrigation would be 44,859 ham.
The share of canal in net irrigated area has declined from 39.8 % in 1950-51 to 23.6
% in 2012-13. Alongside, the share of groundwater sources has increased from 28.7 % to a
whopping 62.4 % during the same period. This expansion reflects the reliability and higher
irrigation efficiency of 70–80% in groundwater irrigation compared with 25–45% in canal
irrigation. While proving to be a valuable source of irrigation expansion, injudicious utilization
of groundwater through the explosion of tube wells has raised several sustainability issues.
Ground Water Quality
The electrical conductivity (EC) is a measure of salinity. EC ranges from 249 to 2775
μS/cm2 at 25 0C. The nitrate concentration in Sagar district ranges from 3 to 205 mg/l. The
fluoride concentration in the district is within permissible limits, it ranges between 0.12 to 0.7
mg/l.
Pre monsoon (May 2015)
The Premonsoon depth as on May
2015 to water level (DTW) map is
presented in figure. The DTW ranged
between 2.63 mbgl to 36.50 mbgl.
However, in major part the DTW
ranged between 4 to 16 mbgl. Deeper
water levels of more than 20 mbgl are
observed in isolated patches in western
part.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 62
Post-Monsoon (Nov-2015)
The Postmonsoon as on Nov 2015 depth
to water level (DTW) map is presented in
figure. The DTW varied from 1.20-20.21
mbgl. In major part the DTW was less
than 10 mbgl. Deeper water levels of
more than 15 mbgl are observed in
isolated patches in central part.
Water Level Trend (May 2006-15). The Water level trend for the 10 years (2006-15) shows that both rise and fall is
observed. The rise is observed in the range of 0.01 to 0.17 m/ year. The decline in the range
of 0.09 to 0.1 m/year is also observed.

3.3: Status of Command Area:
Sagar district comes under Dhasan ken Basin of the water resources department in
which two Division are Division-1 and Division-2 are working presently in district.There is
only one major irrigation projects in Sagar which is Beela Dam situated in Banda-Shahgarh
area of Sagar District.
There are 03 medium projects in Sagar which are Masoorbawri, Sonpur and
Surajpura which serves a big area under canal command .The work of extension of canals
uncder these projects is already in progress and will be completed in forthcoming 02 years
during implementation of PMKSY.
The department has got feasibility sanctions of 32 projects in various blocks of Sagar
district. These projects will get administrative sanctions with avilablity of funds under PMKSY
in coming years.
The Bina Multipurpose irrigation project,Padkul Medium project,Jera Medium
project,hilgan Medium project and the Kotha barrage of the keb betwa link project will
certainly develop the command area of district in coming years all these projects are under

In Sagar district the area under irrigation is 288725 ha of the total geographical
area which comprises 52.30% of the total net sown area and is high to the average of 36%
of the state average. Malthone block of District has the minimum irrigation potential where
as Kesli has the maximum area under irrigation in comparison to net sown area.. Besides,
canal command area the other sources are tube wells ,17577 ,dug wells , 11838 and 30
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 65
minor irrigation tanks available for irrigation in the district. Bore wells play important role in
providing irrigation, followed by open wells and tank. The department of water resources has
constructed the structures coveres approximately 21% of the total irrigated area. However,
scarcity of power restricts the choice of irrigation and hampers the operations severely.
Recently the feeder separation done under rural electrification scheme is now changing the
scenario of unavailability of electricity during irrigation period. The electricity for irrigation is
available during the season in a lump sum billing to farmers which enabled the farmers to
give timely irrigation to crops.

The surface and ground water irrigation sources constructed under Bundelkhand package
constructed a lot in irrigation potential of the district. The agriculture scenario is rapidly
changing with new techniques of agriculture and irrigation now. But still there is a threat that
in case of low rainfall the surface water irrigation structures may not serve the culturable
command area. In this case the sown area especially in Rabi season decreases which
affects the economy of the district as well as the livelihood of farmers.
The ground water irrigation sources like Dug well, tubewell becomes not feasible in
case of depletion of water table which in turn effects the production and productivity of the
crops and rural households livelihood.

Chap IV Water Requirement /Demand:
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 70
Water is a critical input into agriculture in nearly all its aspects. How much, at what
time and how plants are watered has determining effect on the eventual yield. Good seeds
and fertilizer fail to achieve their full potential if plants are not optimally watered. Adequate
availability of water is important for animal husbandry as well. Fisheries are, of course,
directly dependent on water resources.
Increasing incomes, growing urbanization and rising prosperity are rapidly changing
the composition of food basket away from cereals towards high value agricultural
commodities such as fruits, vegetables, milk, poultry, fish and meat. Although per capita
consumption of food grains has declined over the years, its total demand has been projected
to increase due to increase in population and indirect demand from feed. Most of the fruits,
vegetables and livestock products are more water intensive as compared to cereals other
than rice. Further preference to have fresh fruits and vegetables in all the seasons is
resulting in increase in their cultivation in off season requiring much higher use of water. The
amount of water required to produce a unit of animal origin products ( chicken, mutton and
eggs) is much higher than plant origin products (cereals, pulses and oilseeds). These
developments point to growing demand for and therefore rising pressure on limited water
resources. Moreover, close to 55 per cent of the current area under cultivation is not covered
by irrigation. This results in low productivity and high risk to production due to erratic rainfall.
Water availability and demand is to be calculated holistically for any project prepared
for irrigation purposes as the demand of dinking of water is to be catered at first priority
secondly the water availability for livestock and wild life is to be ensured and thirdly the water
required for seasonal crops as per the cropped area is to be calculated.Knowledge of the
rate and volume of the water used is necessary far efficient management of irrigation water.
The quantity of water that flow through a canal or a structure in a period of time is known as
flow or discharge and is expressed in m3/ s far large discharge and 1/s for small discharge.
One m3/s is qual to 1000l/s.
The flow in irrigation system is also expressed as quantity of water used and
volumetric flow rate. The relationship between these two is –
V= Q Δt / K
V= Volume of flow (m3)
Q = Volumetric flow rate (l/s)
Δt = Time interval (Min)
K = Unit constant (K= 16.67 far V in m3 and Q in l/s)
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 71
One hectare centimetre (ha cm) is the volume of water necessary to cover an
area of 1 ha (10000 m2) to a depth of 1 cm.
1ha cm = 100 m3 = 100000 litre
Volume = Area X height
1 ha cm = 10000 m2 X 0.01 cm = 100 m
3
1 ha cm =100000000 cm
2 X 1 cm = 100000000 cm
3
1000 cm3 = 1 litre = 100000000/ 1000 = 100000 Litre
1 ha cm = 100 m3 = 100000 Litre
As per the average rainfall coefficient runoff the water available for harvesting after
rains is about 3241 million cubic meters as per geographical area of Sagar district.The water
conservation and runoff control measures are proposed as per ridge to valley principal in the
district irrigation plan to check runoff of atleat 2000 MCM water and create a storage capacity
of about 1100 MCM which is presently only 245 MCM in sagar.

increases substantially. Considering the targets of 100 percent ODF villages under swaksha
bharat Abhiyan the domestic demand of water will also increase by additional 10 percent.
Due to modern living standards water usage per capita has increased multifold. Also with the
help of technological innovations there are tube wells at every home and everyday their
count is increasing. People have also started using water filtration techniques like R.O.
devices which consumes more water. In context of Sagar district the total requirement per
capita for domestic purpose is calculated for urban and rural population. The projected
demand in the year for rural and urban population respectively is depicted in following tables:

The water budget are prepared for every panchayat by villagers in gram Sabha‟s in
technical facilitation of the technical support groups involving engineers,forest officials,health
workers and agriculture extension officers formed CEO Zila Panchayat Sagar for preparation
of water budget and agriculture plan for incorporation in the District irrigation Plan.
As per water budget of each Panchayat the Block level water demand is calculated for
domestic, crop and livestock need so that precise planning can be done at Panchayat level
for better results through convergence of umbrella schemes under PMKSY.

4.2 Crop water demand
In Sagar district there is a traditional system of flow irrigation in crops and
seeds are also sown thorugh spreading method in which both water and seeds are
consumed more and productivity is less .Now a days the farmers has grown awareness
regarding new techniques of irrigation and sowing through seed drill.Still there are areas in
sirtitc where the farmers adopt old techniques due to poverty and lack oif awareness. of
Different methods are used to apply irrigation water to the crop depending on the source of
supply, topography, quantity of water to be applied the crop and method of cultivation of
crop. These irrigation methods classified as surface, sub surface, over head or sprinkler and
drip irrigation.
Irrigation Methods
Surface Sub surface Sprinkler Drip
Flood Check basin Basin Border Furrow
After assessment of kharif, Zaid and Rabi crop water demand keeping in view
the area under horticulture the grass crop water demand of the district is calculated for gap
analysis in availability and demand so as to plan the interventions for filling gap in the district
irrigation plan by convergence of various schemes under Pradhan mantra Krishi sinchaye
Youjna DIP-Sagar.
Discussions with stake holders are done at block and luster level for need
assessment of water for irrigation and then finding linkages of water sources with distribution
network for assuring 100% irrigation upto 2020 and provide end to end solution for irrigation
with participation of farmers and extension works of agriculture department.

commodities such as fruits, vegetables, milk, poultry, fish and meat. Although per capita
consumption of food grains has declined over the years, its total demand has been projected
to increase due to increase in population and indirect demand from feed. Animal husbandry
and fisheries offers unique opportunity for growth as the shifts in diet already under way and
likely to continue as incomes increase. Niti Ayog study report on household consumption
reveals that the consumption behavior of both rural and urban population is changing in favor
of these sectors. Between 1993-94 and 2011-12, cereals consumption declined by 16.3% in
rural and 12.4% in urban areas. During the same period, consumption of milk and milk
products increased by 9.97% in rural and 10.87% in urban areas and of meat and fish
increased by 23%.
The amount of water required to produce a unit of animal origin products ( chicken,
mutton and eggs) is much higher than plant origin products (cereals, pulses and oilseeds).
These developments point to growing demand for and therefore rising pressure on India‟s
limited water resources. Moreover, close to 55 per cent of the current area under cultivation
is not covered by irrigation. This results in low productivity and high risk to production due to
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 76
erratic rainfall. Ways and means need to be devised to expand irrigation and enable dryland
agriculture to have access to water to address at least critical water shortages.
For a district like Sagar having threat of drought Dairy is a drought mitigation agri
allied activity for rural poor and hence the availability of water to livestock for their health and
fitness with water availability for green fodder production is accessed in the district while
preparing district irrigation plan involving focused group discussions and consultation with
farmers, milk producres, cattle owners and veterinary department extension works and
experts of this Filed. Consultations with the executives of BAIF NGO are also done for need
assessment of water to livestock.
In addition to water availability to livestock the secutity of water for wild life is also analysed
in consulation with forest department officials .Nouradehi sanctuary forest division Sagar is
identified for African Cheetah project and is famous for the natural habitat of India Wolf and
the Alligators habitat.Forest department has done various interventions for making suitable
ecological conditions for these two major projects related to wild life .Inspite of these there is
considerable forest area nd wild life in sagar district for which the water need assessment is
done and after assement plans are incorporated for developing water holes, water tanks and
other water harvesting structures for assuring water to wild life. The following table shows
figures regarding water demand for livestock and wild life:

4.4: Industrial Water Demand:
Industries are backbone of economy of any region the Madhya Pradesh sate
government is encouraging the industrialist and youth for setting up small and micro
industries in Bundelkhand region. Industries are not turning up to Sagar district mainly due
to the lack of water for industrial use.
In Sagar district the main reason of industrial under development is the non availability
of Water. Although district have large geographical area and topography to retain water but
still planned efforts are lagging behind in terms of availability of water. The local public
representatives also have regional issues but no perspective plan for inductrial water
availability.
Bina is the major industrial area of sagar district and jay pee power limited has set up
a captive power plant for Bina refinery area which is Big project of Government of India
giving revenue and employment to State. The water conflicts regarding effluent water
drainage and use of water from Bina and Betwa river are common in Bina and Khurai area
due to excessive use of water by the refinery and Railway establishments.
The industrial water demand is calculated keeping in mind the demand of water in
major industries and demand of water in Hospitals, servicing and vehicle cleaning station
,Hotels and other demands including the demand for domestic needs of floating population
coming in district every day for education, commissionery work and other medical interests.

While preparing the water budget the panchayatwise and block wise water budget are
kept in consideration and the availability of water as per the data anf figures of irrigation and
the regional office of Central Ground water Board has been analysed for calculating the
demand, need and availability gap under water budget.The promotion of water conservation
efforts has direct implications for water resources availability, groundwater recharge and
socio-economic conditions of the population. Emphasis should be given on water resources
conservations through watershed development in suitable areas and development of micro-
water structures for rainwater harvesting.

and domestic purposes in various urban and rural areas of Sagar district.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 80
Chapter 5 Strategic Action plan
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 81
Water is essential for sustaining life and at the same time, it is an important
component for almost all developmental plans. Obviously the schemes for development of
water resources for beneficial use of the society have been taken up since the time
immemorial. Considerable progress has been made in respect of water resources
development in Sagar district after implementation of Bundelkhand package contributing to
two fold increases in creation of irrigation potential. Total created irrigation potential at pre-
bundelkhand package was about 116543 hectares which at present is about 288340 ha.
There has also been appreciable development in the areas of drinking water supply and
other uses. However, growing population, urbanization and industrialization has led to
considerable increase in demand of water for various purposes e.g., irrigation, domestic
needs, industrial requirements etc.
The erratic rainfall trends and the undulating topography of sagar district is the major
constraint in irrigation and command area development in district. The Minor tanks and
reservoirs constructed under bundelkhand package either are empty due to less rainfall this
year or have water less than the dead storage. The water level in whole district has also
gone down and the surface water storage structures which have stored water in general
does not have distribution network due to undulating topography or land acquisition issues
for construction of canal.
Although there is a good scope of agriculture productivity enhancement which seems
to be the second road map after creation of tanks and reservoirs under bundelkhand
package. The agriculture area may also be diversified to horticulture and cash crop
integrating horizontally with dairy as an allied activity to maintain soil health and livestock
fitness.
The District level Implementation committee and advisory Board constituted in district
for Pradhan Mantri Krishi sinchayee Youja ,after various consultations formulated
component and sector wise strategy for development of command area and productivity
enhancement through more crop per drop for accomplishing the Vision of har Khat ko pani
which is as under :-

The proposed budget will be utilized component wise as per release of funds from concerned
ministry by GoI and matching share from state government for achieving the objective of
PMKSY thorugh following strategy:
Completion of ongoing projects of irrigation department
As a prime target the DLIC has decided to focus on timely completion of ongoing
projects which includes the nala closer of completed tanks under Bundelkhand
packagae/Plan/AIBP and also completion of projects like Bila Canal extension project,Sonpur
medium irrigation project,Padkul irrigation project Jaisinagar , Kadan medium rahatgarh and
keth medium project Rehli,Surajpura irrigation project Kesli .Hilgan irrigation project
jaisinagar ,samnapur irrigation project and satdhara irrigation project.After completion an
addition 18356 hectares area will be under fully developed irrigation command .The funds for
the spillover works and other heads are provisioned in district irrigation plan. This will
certainly contribute to the component Har khet ko pani .
Command area development
The works related to command area development will be executed by irrigation on top
priority to get 100% efficiency in water use by on farm interventions and capacity building
and awareness amongst water user associations for maintenance and operation of the
distribution network with maximum efficiency so that Per drop more crop may be ensured in
addition to Har Khet ko Pani by saving of Water in water abundant area first.
Repair and rejuvenation of old water bodies
The District administration has launched a campaign of renovation of old water bodies
in Sagar district which includes Various Chopra,Bawri and baher,Talab which are either
under encroachment or are in very poor condition due to excessive pressure of population,
depleting water table and lack of maintenance .
These old traditional water bodies are now being renovated in campaign mode by help
of Janbhagidari of local people, news campaigns by news papers and leadership by local
public representatives in backward support of district administration and gram
panchayat/Urban local body by funds of janbhagidari or MGNREGS within the cost norms of
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 85
the ongoing schemes .Some MLA and MP LADS funds are also mobilized for these
community benefit works. The top up cost which exceeds the MGNREGS act provision of 60
:40 in labour material respectively is also planned to be converged from top up from PMKSY.
The old irrigation tanks and stop dams which are designed to have more than 10
hectares area under submergence are taken up under RRR by irrigation department for
repair and renovation work to restore the storage capacity which was degraded due to silt or
encroachment in catchment area of the water body. All such water bodies are proposed for
RRR phase in phase to capture the low lying fruit first and improve the irrigation potential Har
het ko pani by low cost input which may be 25000 to 30000 per hectare.
River link proposal
Now a days the farmers and society has under stood the need of water conservation
and recent interventions by M.P.Government to link Ken-Betw, Narmada-Khipra has made a
great impact on the minds of learned peoples also that river linkage may be a good option for
perennial availability of water in river the life line of existence.
The area of Khurai and Bina blocks of sagar district will be benefitted by Kotha
barrage near mandi bamora being a part of Ken-Betwa Link project about 12000 hecatres
area of the district will get irrigated by this barrage under river linig project.
Bina multipurpose irrigation complex will also contribute in irrigation command area
development in Malthone,Rahatgarh ,Khurai,Shahagarh & bina blocks of district .
Similarly Bina-Betwa link and Narmada–Sonar link project are also being
formulated after getting principal approval. If these river link projects are executed in Sagar
than Sagar district will serve the purpose of a Donor district to other district of bundelkhand in
terms of giving water for irrigation and other purposes .the Narmada River can be linked from
Myrgakheda in Raisen district to Sonar in kesli block and than water can be lifted to Dehar
for irrigation purpose in Damoh district. So Sagar can be a donar district for Tikamgarh,
Panna, Chhatarpur (Upcoming water demand of NTPC Plant) & Damoh.

Watershed management and soil moisture conservation
The promotion of water conservation efforts has direct implications for water
resources availability, groundwater recharge and socio-economic conditions of the
population. Emphasis will be given on water resources conservations through watershed
development in suitable areas and development of micro-water structures for rainwater
harvesting.
As per the watershed atlas of the district the watershed in the district are prioritized as
very high, high, medium and low priority watershed for being taken up for soil and moisture
conservation measures in heavy runoff area. Upto March 2016 in all 26 watershed
development projects spreaded in about 263 villages of the district are in phase of
implementation which has come out with good results. Small water harvesting and water
conservation contributes a a lot in maintaining the water level in wells and tune wells as well
as ground water recharge through percolation of water from water harvesting structures. 12
new watershed projects are identified in district for watershed development works as per
common guidelines of Integrated watershed management progarmme being funded under
window of PMKSY-Watershed component by department of Land resources government of
India
Similarly the high priority watershed which are mostly in Ridges and ridges are in
forest area of the district are executed by forest department .The Ridge area treatment being
done by forest department has contributed a lot into increasing and maintaining water level in
valley area hence making water available in ground water sources even in summer season
for various needs.
PMKSY watershed component will be implemented in collaboration with forest
working plan for treatment of ridge area there after the first and second order drainages as
per the lineament and hydrological inputs given by the GIS techniques used while planning
for irrigation as per slope and drainage of the district.
This will also contribute to the availability of water to livestock and wild life as well as
cluster based green fodder development interventions in chain linked plantation of forest
having tree to tree spacing 2.5 to 4 meters which are done under bundelkhand package. The
district magistrate Sagar has given instructions to dug at least one pond and develop one
pasture in each village for ensuring availability of water and fodder to livestock in forth
coming 2 years, These are incorporated in the district irrigation Plan.
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 88
MGNREGS water conservation and agriculture development works
Department of rural development by participation of panchayat has identified the
repair works to be carried out in first three years and provision of maintainece of the works
completerd in forthcoming three years so as to retain the water holding and storage capacity
of water harvesting structures .The farm ponds, Field bunds, small Nala bunds and check
dams with water harvesting tanks also contribute a lot in ground water recharge and on farm
availability of moisture and water which certainly increases the irrigation potential of small
farmers at farm level. The new works and silting of old ponds and stop dams having
catchment area more that 4 km is proposed in first two years so as to create a short term
impact on ground water resources. The green fodder development interventions will also be
done by under MGNREGS which are proposed in block level irrigation plan for ensuring
fodder availability to livestock and hence creating backward linkage to dairy development
activity as a drought mitigation measure.

Agriculture production enhancement and micro irrigation
As mentioned earlier that the water availability of water is increased due to
implementation of bundelkhand package in last 5 years now the district administration have
made area specific plan for soil and water management activities and micro irrigation through
new techniques of on farm development works by extension activities of agriculture
department.
The soil health cards are being prepared in campaign mode in Sagar district upto
2017 all soil health cards will be distributed to farmers .As the soil health cards are being
distributed the suggestions regarding micro and macro nutrient managements regarding soil
deficiency are given to farmers .The area where soil health cards are distributed first are
taken into consideration for production enhancement activities with interventions of seed
replacement and other IPM and post harvet interventions to double the income of farmer
through proper use of NPK and by better crop alignment as per the soil health and
metrological forecast in the district through Kisan SMS by KVK. A software based application
for this purpose is already developed in which the datat regarding land holding water
availability and soil health will be linked with the metrological data of the area so that instant
contingent planbs may be prepared in seasons of Kharif,rabi and Zaid for maximizing
benefits and minimizing the effects of erratic rainfall or natural calamities.
The Pradhan mantri Fasal bima Youjna will also be linked to the soil the soil heath
card holders The crops of KCC holders will get insured by default through concerned banks
But now from this insurance scheme of low premium land high returns to mitigate the crop
related losses to farmers in future.This is laos taken up in district in Campaign mode in
leadership of Collector Shri Vikas Narwal sir.
The interventions in new techniques like laser leveling of land,OFDA,raised furrow
techniques are being promoted adopted and proposed in the district irrigation plan which is
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 90
complementary to the district agriculture plan of Sagar district.To promote precision and
micro irrigation Farmer filed schools based on Jal sinchan and Jal Sinchayan are planned
to be run in cluster area of National Mission for sustainable agriculture and other
interventions (Agriculture productivity enhancement) component of PMKSY-Watershed
Management.
Seeds, fertilizers and pesticides constitute the three pillars of modern agriculture and
have been central to pushing agricultural-productivity frontier out. The Green Revolution in
India was begun by the introduction of the high Yielding Varieties (HYV) of seeds
complemented by effective use of fertilizers and expansion of irrigation. Farmers often see a
direct connect between seeds and fertilizer on the one hand and crop yield on the other. So
seed replacement through NFSM,IWMP,RKVY.NMOP and PPKVY will be a simultaneous
process as a measure of production enhancement.
The ATMA governing body in leadership of Collector Sagar has also planned to establish 01
model farm of 10-20 acres in which all new techniques regarding agriculture, veterinary,
horticulture and agro-forestry will be reared and demonstrations and control plots will be
developed involving functional ,NGO‟s SHG and Farmer interest group in technical guidance
of the extension workers of various department trough ATMA Navachar funds etc with
major involvement of KVK and Regional Agriculture Research Centre Sagar . In these
model plots area wise crops specific interventions will be promoted and then inter block and
inter district exposure tours and training programmes will be organized at these model
demonstration plots only so that the extension and awareness can be promoted in local
language by local people in local condition by local extension workers of district and block
level line department nodal persons. This will certainly be an innovative approach in
agriculture technology management and extensions practices. NGO‟s (specially the
consulting NGO PRAJEEV) and WDT implementing watershed projects may be leader in
such type of activities.
The agriculture department will also take up activities under NMSA and RKVY for
ridge area treatment and multi dimensional approach involving dairy development,
Horticulture development, agro forestry, fishery and other allied activities in cluster approach
for sustainable agriculture practices. Soil and moisture conservation works in lusding
construction of Minor irrigation tanks will be done by soil conservation department under
agriculture.

Horticulture development and micro irrigation
The agriculture with irrigation predicted to remain the dominant user of water, “per
drop more crop” is an imperative. The efficiency of water use must improve to expand area
under irrigation while also conserving water. Over the years, there has been significant shift
in the sources of irrigation.
Low and erratic rainfall for consecutive years in these districts have rendered water-
harvesting structures devoid of water and the conservation measures almost unviable. The
water storage in reservoirs has depleted leading to scarcity of drinking water. The moisture
index in Sagar district is in the range of -65 to -50%, denoting that natural precipitation is
highly inadequate to support the arable cropping. Neither normal agricultural practices nor
the contingency measures may help the farmers. Hence Agriculture has to move from
traditional crop centric farming to agri-pastoral-farm forestry systems (fruit trees, shrubs,
perennial grasses,Dairy and small ruminants). There is a strong case of the promotion of
sources of livelihood support other than agriculture in Sagar district.
The method of irrigation followed in the district is flood irrigation, which results in a lot
of water loss. Greater efficiency in irrigation can be achieved through proper designing of
irrigation system for reducing water conveyance loss. Adoption of water saving technologies
such as sprinkler and drip irrigation system have proven extremely effective in not just water
conservation but also leading to higher yields by delivering water in a controlled manner in
parts of the plant where it is most efficiently absorbed. New agronomic practices like raised
bed planting, ridge-furrow method of sowing, sub-surface irrigation, precision farming offers
vast scope for economising water use. Horticulture clubbed with micro irrigation comes to be
a better and viable option in situations like of Sagar district The new techniques of
horticulture like mulching, drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and irrigation by rain gun has
come up with very good results which involves less use of water and better productivity of
horticulture crops fulfilling the second objective of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee youjna
per drop more crop component especially in fruits and vegetables crops .The district
administration has now made the convergence of micro irrigation schemes to the farmers
who are getting subsidy for mulching, fruit, vegetable or spices plantation in future so that at
least horticulture activities extended in future should be on micro and precision irrigation
techniques.

Awareness & Capacity building
Water productivity can be improved by adopting the concept of multiple use of water,
which is beyond the conventional sectoral barriers of the productive sectors. There is scope
for increasing the income through crop diversification and integration of fish, poultry and
other enterprises in the farming system. Multiple use of water approach generates more
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 94
income benefits, decreases vulnerability by allowing more diversified livelihood strategies
and increases sustainability of ecosystem.
The district administration has planned to organize workshop and awareness
campaigns through the college and university students which may the the new generation
carrier of technology and traditions .As 60% of these are from a farmer headed family. The
water user association will also be trained by irrigation department for better maintenance of
canals and regulation of water for irrigation for getting more efficiency in irrigation and
minimizing water losses in irrigation(either by water logging or seepage).
ATMA will also perform extension activities during the pre and mid implementation
phase to farmers so that har khet ko pani and per drop more crop may be achieved .
The WDT of watershed project will also build capacity of the water user groups
through watershed committees for creating awareness regarding maintenanace of water
harvestic structures and on farm water conservation techniques to ensure soil and moisture
conservation for better productivity. Seed replacement and better pacakage of practices as
per suggested in soil health cards will be suggested to the farmers for productivity
enhancement and efficient use of water.
River revival
In past 20 years change in behavioral habits of society rivers are treated as drainage
and dump carriers .The importance of rivers is now in minds of every people foreseeing the
depletion in water table and the less availability of water for domestic use specially in rural
areas.
In old times all habitations are developed near rivers and river was the life line of the
day to day operations of man and society but due to negligence and improper care the rivers
have either got silted due to increased practice of soyabean cultivation in which the field
bunds are broken or dismantled by farmers to check water logging .In years of this practice
now we can see that all small rivulets and rivers area almost full of silt and unwanted dump
material.
In sight of the large reservoirs built on Narmada River which originates from forest not
any glacier which is flowing through forest and continuing to be the life line of many districts
of Madhya Pradesh and Gujrat sate if India serving the purpose of irrigation and low cost
electricity generation in various areas of M.P and Gujrat the perception regarding rivers and
there revival is now changing in minds of the people in regions like bundelkhand.Now people
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 95
and public representatives are aware of river revival and conservation renovation of old water
bodies.
Keeping in mind this changing mind set op people foreseeing the importance of water
the district administration has prepared plan for revivar of Gaderi, Dehar, Keth, Kopra
which are tributaries to a small and important river Sonar .these all originates from Sagar
district and the Sonar river joins as a tributary of Betwa rive which is again an important river
of Bundelkhand region serving the purpose of irrigation through big tanks and reservoirs and
M.P and U.P
Department of rural development in leadership of Collector Sagar has planned river
revival of Sonar river and its tributaries in a scientific manner with inputs of spatial
technology and GIS as a planning tool .The hydrology, geomorphology, soil profile, water
profile and other thematic maps are being prepared for the catchment area treatment of this
river and the change in contour pattern due to construction of tanks, reservoirs, roads in the
catchment and drainage area of these rivers.
The phase wise major activities proposed in river revival project are depicted in

. As per guidelines issued by government of India regarding PMKSY ,DIP is prepared
keeping in mind the four major components viz, AIBP, Har Khet ko Pani, PMKSY( Watershed
) and per drop more crop by preparing shelf of projects under various components with
consultations and incorporating valuable suggestions of Public representatives in
prioritization and phasing of works. The annual action plans will be drawn each year as per
demand and availability of funds to achieve the annual targets fixed for increasing irrigated
area and productivity enhancement complementary to implementation district agriculture
plan.
Implementation of plan will be done by the District level Implementation Committee
(DLIC) which will be free to assign and entrust execution of works under any funding head to
any line department or NGO/CSO as it seems technically competent as per the need and
situation of the area, block or district.
District level technical bench:-
In addition to the DLIC the advisory board there will be a district level technical bench
involving consultants, retired engineers, retired forest officials, retired revenue officials,
Research associates of the geology department of central University Sagar, Research
associates PG students of Civil department Govt. engineering college Sagar , retired official
of planning department, retired soil conservation officers, expert NGO‟s and more as
decided by DLIC in leadership of collector Sagar.
The technical bench or any group or person of the bench may be assigned works like
survey, DPR preparation, estimation, drawing, design of structures as per need to different
PMKSY DIP,Sagar 98
departments during the start or implementation of work the technical bech may also be
assigned impact study or midterm evaluation for better suggestions for improving
Management information system to get good and desired results in due time.
Payments for these tasks, study, and evaluation may be done from contingency funds
or provision may be made in the estimate of works for such payments so that the technical
bench may give support to departments like forest and agriculture for civil works with
scientific inputs.
All the above will be major strategies in implementation of plan and if implemented in
timely manner the District irrigation plan will certainly come out with measurable outputs in
terms of increasing irrigation potential each year and productivity enhancement through
better irrigation techniques.
Monitoring and evaluation
The plan will be executed in phased manner as per the annual action plans prepared as per
prioritization of the works by public representatives and technical assessment by the
concerned technical department. The execution of works and their phasing may be changed
as per need. The District implementation committee will be empowered to finalize the annual
action plans or area specific plans.
The execution and progress of works will be monitored through web based a
management information system developed by NIC and also be a web application developed
at district level for PMKSY. The web application developed at district level will be linked with
Google earth platform for pin pointing the works with geo referencing and then monitoring the
phase wise change in the moisture content and water storage in any specific area or all with
help of Google earth.
The field level execution of works will be monitored by the senior officials of line
departments and the Sub divisional magistrates with joint teams of revenue, forest, irrigation
and Rural development department so as to resolve and suggest in issues related to forest,
revenue or Panchayat so that the start or completion of work should not be hindered by
obstacles of forest act,revenue encroachment or demarcation etc.
