participating Farmer Field School for one full crop
season.
To promote other income
generating activities for members of local tank
communities who have little or no access to land in tank
command areas. About 10% of the tanks would be given
technical assistance for establishing one ha., for Forage
Production followed by 5 units of milch animals for
effective milk production.
To take up
Participatory Technology Development (Pilot studies)
i.e., new technologies suited to the general conditions
found in tanks and their dependent communities. This would
consist of:
-
Efficient irrigation
methods such as testing and developing low pressure drip
and pipe irrigation systems;
-
Conjunctive use of surface
and groundwater in tank command areas; other equipment
for water control, monitoring, and management;
-
Promoting new pilot
