norm for M&E component.
◦ The protocol envisages to ensure (i) the due completion of
unfinished works (if any), (ii) maintenance, (iii) security and (iv)
sustainability of the watershed development projects
◦ Protocol has to be duly adopted by the States in respect of
Projects administratively reported as completed

Objective: To provide technical assistance as well as
implementation support.
Decision by DEA and World Bank:
• DoLR to adopt DRIP model (Ref. Water Resources Ministry)
• Concept Note has been prepared and approved by WB & MoRD
• Karnataka to act as the light house and the participating States to
get direct loan from the World Bank under separate agreements.
• Loan and State Contribution will be 70:30
DoLR will anchor, coordinate, monitor, make available National &
International Knowledge exchange and report overall progress.
World Bank Assisted Project: REWARD
(Rejuvenating Watersheds for Agriculture Resilience through
Innovative Development )
18. Himalayan States, peculiar problem: too much rain but
scarcity of water during lean period.
Need for rejuvenation of traditional water sources like
Springs.
NITI Aayog: Himalayan States Chief Ministers Conclave
WDC-PMKSY already having Institutional arrangement in
States
Proper planning and technical know how including mapping
of springs / aquifers required. Sikkim experiences ‘Dhara
Vikas’.
Suitable interventions in the Common Guidelines being
revised by NRAA
