Director, Gujarat Institute of Development Research, Ahmedabad. He
explained the historical background of ‘Participatory Irrigation
Management’ in various States of India. A souvenir and a CD containing
over 30 technical papers were released on the occasion.
Shri Rathore stressed the need for the participation of farmers in
management of irrigation for efficient use of water as about 88 % water is
consumed by agriculture. He described his own long back experience of
handing over tube-wells to the farmers, the first of its kind of experience
similar to PIM, categorizing as successful in terms of increase in command
area and farmers’ involvement as well as reduction in government
expenditure and conflicts among the farmers.He suggested evolving a
distinguished approach suitable to local environment for irrigation
management and a draft strategy of further course of action by
Dear Member,
Season for seminars has set
in. Almost every month we
are going to have minimum
one seminar or Convention.
All India Seminar on PIM saw
active
interest
from
participants so much so that
all the sessions were almost
full. We had presence from
participants from all over the
country
who
actively
presented their papers and
views. I urge your continued
support for the forthcoming
All India seminars and
National conventions in
similar way.
It would be our pleasure to
have
your
valuable
suggestions regarding topics
that can be taken up either
by way of talks or one-day
workshops or seminars etc.
As I informed in our previous
newsletter, we shall be going
green with June issue of GSC
News( to be out in July 2015)
which shall see the change in
format as well as contents. I
seek
your
valuable
suggestions about what we
should include in the
newsletter so as to make it
more reader friendly.
