The Government of Mozambique (GOM) has received funds from Indian Government, through Exim Bank of India towards the construction of 1200 housing units in three provinces of Mozambique - Cabo Delgado Zambezia and Tete. GOM intends to apply these funds from the Government of India for Consultancy Services for the Design and Supervision for housing construction.

The 1200 houses will be constructed in the following provinces:

• Cabo Delgado - 400 housing units
• Zambezia - 400 housing units
• Tete - 400 housing units

Pattamundai canal obtains water from the Kendrapara canal which offtakes from the barrage pond at Cuttack. Pattamundai Canal off takes from left side of Kendrapara Canal commanding to an ayacut of 32,583 Ha with a design discharge of 36.00 cumecs. The distribution system consists of the 80.50 Km long main canal, 134.192 Km long of distributaries ,346.858 Km long of minors & sub minor canals. The largest being Distributory No. 8 has a command area of 4185 Ha.

No major renovation work has been taken up in the system since inception and several factors have contributed to physical deterioration of the distribution system over the years. The absence of adequate control structures and water regulating mechanisms has enhanced the deterioration process resulting in decline of irrigated area as well as yield levels of crops. This deficiency is more acute in Rabi cropping season where the returns to irrigation is more pronounced.

Work involves Survey, Design and related services and canal and structures on Main and Distributaries canal of Pattamundi Main Canal to rehabilitate the system.

The Project aims at promoting crop diversification in the target area of five districts in the State of Himachal Pradesh, through development of necessary infrastructure such as irrigation facilities and farm access roads, in parallel with technical training for farmers on vegetable cultivation, food grain cultivation and post-harvesting technology.
The Project will newly develop or rehabilitate existing facilities in approximately 210 irrigation schemes in the area, and will construct or improve 147 access farm roads. The total area to be irrigated is estimated to be 3,712 ha, and total length of the access farm roads would be 100 km.
The work involves :

1. Sub-project Screening and Appraisal
2. Pre-construction Engineering Works
3. Support for Construction Management
4. Coordination with JICA Technical Cooperation Project
5. Support for Agricultural Extension and other works
6. Support for Training Activities

Due to a gap in the Irrigation Potential Created and Utilised, the Government of India proposed the study to be undertaken on selected project to increase their efficiency so that more water is available for irrigation.  The broad parameters considered for the study were :

1.  Assess the reservoir Efficiency, 
2. Conveyance efficiency of the Main Canal
3. Losses in Conveyance Mains
4. Conveyance efficiency of Distributaries and Minors
5. Field Application efficiency and Drainage efficiency of the project.

The Government of India has initiated a programme Jawarlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNRUM) for the development of services to  towns in the country.  As such, the water supply and drainage scheme was to be executed in the town of Begusarai, for which the detailed project report was prepared.  The work involved the following :

• Data Collection
• Surveys
• Planning and Design
• Social Survey
• Economic Survey
• Town Planning for the next 30 years
• Drawing Preparation
• Estimation
• Approval
• Construction monitoring and supervision

The Government of Uttar Pradesh has sought the World Bank funding for the rehabilitation of the Irrigation canal systems in the Eastern Districts of the State under the UP Water Sector Restructuring Project Phase 1.  As a part of the total project it was envisaged by the client to undertake Capacity Building of the Technical staff of the Irrigation Department to make them conversant with the use of Computers in the application of the irrigation activities.

The Government of Uttar Pradesh has sought the World Bank funding for the rehabilitation of the Irrigation canal systems in the Eastern Districts of the State under the UP Water Sector Restructuring Project Phase 1.  As a part of the total project it was envisaged by the client to undertake Technical examination and construction supervision of the works being undertaken at site.  Field staff and mobile laboratories were deputed at site to test the quality of construction and material to ensure that the work is undertaken as per the prescribed specifications.  The work involved :

1. Site visits to assess the construction works
2. Attend meetings at the State level
3. Prepare the formats for site evaluation and evaluate the feedback as received from the site engineers

1. Evaluation of existing Water Supply and Sewerage system with respect to its deficiencies.
2. Preparation of Final Detailed Project Reports after incorporating all comments / suggestions from Public Health Engineering Department Haryana.
3. Preparation & submission of Draft Detailed Project Reports (Draft DPR) in discussion with PHED Haryana.
4. Construction Supervision and time to time supervision of the scheme for the guidance of the executing agency.

Government of India is undertaking a special programme for the development of the command area in the areas where the irrigation network has been laid.  For this activity, the Government provides financial assistance to the State Governments to undertake the Command Area Development work which include - land leveling, land consolidation, construction of field channels, field drains, capacity building of farmers, etc.  To assess the benefits of the programme, the Ministry undertook the monitoring and evaluation to assess the following :

1. Present Status Vis – a Planning and Design
2. Agro – Climatic Parameters
3. Socio – Economic Parameters
4. Organizational Review
5. Farmer’s Participation in irrigation management

The Government of Himachal Pradesh is facing a serious problem of  floods in the Una District because of Swan River which brings in flash floods in the region during the monsoons. The river damages the area to a large extent and the Government is at a loss to understand the remedial measures to prevent such floods.  After a lot of thinking the Government has come up with a suggestion to provide embankments along the banks of this very highly meandering river. The Government is of the opinion to construct the embankments on both sides of the river and use the land behind the embankment for the purposes of horticulture, fisheries and tree plantation. The studies for the project report were also carried out after conducting the model study of these embankments. The area behind the embankments was a part of this project study.  Engineering studies and designing was undertaken for the project to prepared a Detailed Project report.

The Government of India and the State Government of Rajasthan has requested the World Bank to assist in financing a Water Resources Consolidation Project (WRCP) for the State of Rajasthan. The WRCP comprised a comprehensive program of management reforms of water resources management in general and rural water service, including irrigation and drainage in particular. Four priority action areas for sectoral reform and institutional capacity building to overcome the basic causes of the overall poor performance of Rajasthan irrigation sector have been identified.  These areas are : (a) improvement of overall water resources planning and sectoral environmental management capabilities; (b) expenditure prioritization and improvement of irrigation cost recovery;   (c) improvement of technical performance in irrigation water distribution efficiency and output; and (d) institutional restructuring of the State Irrigation Department with the objective of improved functional and financial performance, management accountability, and beneficiary participation in operation and maintenance (O&M). 
For this purpose four major, four medium and three minor projects have been nominated to be studied in detail to work out the cost of O&M on irrigation projects in the state of Rajasthan.
