Activities of Soil Conservation Department in Nayagarh District. 

 watershed Management. 

      Land & water are too most valuable gift of nature to mankind which are vital for sustenance of fauna & flora on this planet earth rainfed area from a large part of arable land in the country. They are also liable to environment damage on account of Soil erosion due to un-reliability of rainfall from year to year.

      The current approach & strategy for rainfed farming are based on the concept of Conservation of rain water for holistic & integrated development of potential watersheds including the problem area such as hilly, Saline, water logged, Costal & desert eco systems & promotion.        

        On order to mitigate the ill effects of drought & flood watershed management programme has provided to be a successful measure. Watershed development is somewhat a recent terminology applied to the spare of developmental activities focusing not only on Agriculture but also othe developmental programme like forestry, Animal husbandry, Pasture development Pisciculture, & farm development etc. on area saturation basis. Therefore such development activities have now been advocated to be done on watershed basis. Management of watershed is the basic approach for successful crop production with insitu moisture Conservation.

N.W.D.P.R.A. scheme. 

           The N.W.D.P.R.A. scheme was lunched by Government of India during 8th plan period with the following objectives. 

1.            Conservation, development & sustainable management of natureresources including their use.

2.            enhancement of Agriculture productivity & production in a sustainablemanner.

3.            Restoration of Ecological balance in the degraded & fragile rainfed eco-systems by greening these  areas through appropriate mix of trees, shurbs& grasses.

4.            Reduction in regional disparity between irrigated & rainfed area.Creation of sustained employment  opportunities for the rural community including the landless.             

         Thus the ultimate aim of the programme is to develop nature resources, based on         sustainable   productivity, improve standard of living of poor farmers, landless labours & to restore the ecological    balance. 

As pr the guidelines of the scheme a block having less than 30 % of assured irrigation in the arable land hill qualify for inclusion under this programme. 

The Orissa remote sensing application center (ORSAC) have delineated & codified district wise watershed up to Micro watershed level. Total watershed identified, Saturated & under execution in the district of Nayagarh are given below.

             The objectives of construction of water harvesting structure.

(i)         collect runoff for subsequent utilization in Agriculture crops for life saving irrigation.

(ii)        To recharge sub-surface as well as ground water.

(iii)       To save the valuable Agriculture lands from degradation as well as sand casting.
