- (a) to (f) Department  of Land Resources has sanctioned, 8214 watershed  development projects  in 576 districts (including  72 districts of Uttar  Pradesh)  covering an area of about 39.07 million hectare  in 28 States (except Goa)  [now  27 States and UTs of Jammu  & Kashmir and Ladakt)  during the period 2009-10 to 2014'15  under erstwhile Integrated  Watershed  Management  Programme (IWMP). Subsequently IWMP was amalgamated as a  Watershed Development Componeni of Pradhan  Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana  (WDC-PMKSY) in 2015-16. A total number of 1832 projects  (345 uninitiated and 1487 in preparatory  stage) wer€ transfened  to various  States in 2018 to implement  them from their own budget. Therefore,  DoLR  has been implementing 6382 projects.

The activities  being undertaken through  the watershed development proj*ts inter a/ra include  ridge area treetment,  drainage  line treatment, soil and moisture conservation,  rain water harvesting, nursery  raising, afforestation,  horticulture, pasture development,  livelihoods for assetless  persons, etc.

Administrative and technical constraints are occasionally  observed  in the implementation  of watershed  development  projects and these are appropriately addressed on continuing basis. The strategies  adopted  to overcome the challenges  are (i) optimal  utilization of available  resources, (ii) convergence  and (iii) prioritization, as well  as (i) accountability and (ii) real-time monitoring.
