  27. Agenda Item No.07 Evaluation of Preparatory phase of Projects SLNA held on 13-02-2013, suggested that only government organisations be considered for empanelling as midterm evaluators. We have addressed to all government agencies &institutions The response is very meagre i.e. Only 7 responded. DoLR have empanelled the seven institutions. Kerala Agricultural University agreed to undertake evaluation provided the budget provision for evaluation (1% of the project cost) should be handed over directly from SLNA to the university account We have already engaged CPCRI, Kasargod and Kayamkulam for evaluation of 7 projects Evaluation of all the remaining projects may be entrusted to Kerala Agricultural University by execution of an MoU for evaluation of all projects under IWMP on a comprehensive project mode. SLNA may approve the above proposal.

Agenda Item No.8: • Overlapping of watershed programmes • Certain micro watersheds within the cluster of micro watersheds selected under IWMP is selected for implementation under other watershed development schemes like RIDF, WGDP etc. • This causes difficulty in implementation as well as duplication and overlapping. • To avoid this necessary instruction may be given to concerned agencies • The SLNA may take a suitable decision.

  32. Agenda Item No 12 Entrusting of WDT/WCDC with the task of DPR Preperation. In the quarterly review meeting held at the MoRD in New Delhi on 2/08/2013 it has been suggested that in the event of all WCDC/WDT experts are positioned in Kerala, the state can impart adequate technical training to the experts and entrust them with the task of preparation of DPR as per the instructions already issued under para 51 of Common Guidelines.
