DoLR has sanctioned about 8214 watershed development projects covering an area of 39.07 million hectare across the country during the period 2009-10 to 2014-15 under  Integrated  Watershed  Management  Programme  (IWMP).  Subsequently  on launch of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana in 2015-16, IWMP  was amalgamated as Watershed Development Component of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee  Yojana  (WDC-PMKSY).   Out  of  above  sanction  projects,  1832 projects  (345  uninitiated  and  1487  in  preparatory stage)  were transferred  to various
