13. ME&IE CONSULTANTS’ SCOPE AND SERVICES
10
 Develop a website containing information on facilities and services, applications,
procedures, watercourses, water storage tanks and laser Levelers database, etc.
(while the project staff will maintain the website).
 Provide technical support for the development of a custom-designed mobile
application (Android Based) to capture on-site project progress and geo-tagged
photos. It should be synchronized with the central MIS/GIS database and application
for instant reporting and feedback to the management. The said requirement is
based on the following functional features:
 Development of a GIS database with all spatial layers related to activities being
undertaken under the project
 Carry out the impact evaluation of the project intervention on the economy and
stakeholders through baseline and end-line, assessing the water saving per annum on
watercourses, water storage tanks and field levels and improvement in water
availability due to the provision of improved conveyance system.
 Economic impact of project interventions.
 Assessing the economic benefits to the agriculture in terms of changes in yields,
irrigated area, cropping pattern, cropping intensity, farm income and employment in
command area of watercourses and water storage tanks.

27. INDICATORS FOR BASELINE SURVEY
27
• Increase in area under cultivation
• Agriculture productivity
• Change in cropping pattern
• Increase in cropping intensity
• Increase in yield per Acre
• Level of water usage per acre
• Waterlogging and salinity control
• Data of tube wells in Barani areas
• Plantation
• Increase in employment opportunities
• Reduction in poverty

28. • Comprehensive questionnaires/ tools were designed to reflect the
certain indicators of all other aspects of field activities.
• Questionnaire was pre tested in the field and were further refined.
• These were converted into android based system on tab to collect
data for field.
• This will directly transmit the data from the field to the Dashboard
without any delay for further processing.
