11. Grievances Management :- One of the important mandates of Agriculture MMP is facilitate the farmers to raise grievances to the appropriate authority in the administrative system. The propose modules would be • User Module • Status Tracking • Reports • Email • Expert Advisory :- The expert advisory process relates to the advice sought by the farmers directly with subject matter experts at the state and national level, with respect to their queries on irrigational infrastructure, schemes and equipments. Kisan Call Center (KCC) is already in place for expert advisory.

12. Coordination from M/o Rural Development, M/o Water Resources and M/o Environment & Forest ( necessary instructions to be issued by MoA to respective ministries ) Watershed Codes available are not as per SLUSI standards and correct spatial coordinates are not available which would affect GIS mapping. Multiple sources of relevant data on irrigation. Issues:-

13. As Is Situation • Linkages with the information on Dug Wells, Shallow Wells and Deep Tube Wells. The information is on the basis of Minor Irrigation Census. (http://mowr.nic.in/mi3) • Command Area Development Program (CADP) deals with the components like construction of field channels and field drains, enforcement of warabandi, land leveling and shaping, reclamation of water logging, introduction of suitable cropping patterns. Project wise and year wise physical and financial progress is available on http://mowr.gov.in • An online monitoring system http://mowr.nic.in/cadmon is available for CAD monitoring. This system facilitates submission of project proposal, recording of quarterly physical progress (like OFD works, Field Channels, Lined & Unlined area & length etc.) & financial progress, recording of project wise irrigation potential created (in Ha.) & irrigation potential utilized (in Ha.) and production statistics (in Tones). • A Web based System has been proposed for Receipt and Processing of Applications for the issue of NOC to Abstract Ground Water would facilitate Issue of No Objection Certificate (NOC)

14. Two applications have been developed by the Agricultural Informatics Division for Watershed http://rfs.dacnet.nic.in and http://nrmmonitor.dacnet.nic.in . Information is available on Watershed codes, catchment location, implementing agency, villages covered, no of SHGs, men & women benefited. • Water level and Storage capacity of 81 important reservoirs is available on http://www.cwc.nic.in/Reservoir_level.htm . Information like Name of the reservoir, Full reservoir level (FRL) in Meters, Current reservoir level, Capacity at FRL in BCM, Current live storage in BCM, Shortage % of live capacity at FRL etc is available. • Database available for hydrology projects under MoWR. Information on availability, quality, water table etc. is captured. • Dataset for the irrigation infrastructure given under DISNIC-PLAN Project may be used (Source - http://disnic.nic.in/dataset.htm) • Common Guidelines for Watershed Development Projects under NWDPRA. • State Govt. applications if any…

15. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) is changing the face of rural India in many unforeseen ways. Almost 50% NREGA is oriented towards Water Conservation which leads to creation of permanent assets. Linking with MGNREGA database is required to identify the marginal and small farmers who requires support from MGNREGA, so that Gram Sabha can take an informed decision regarding the selection of beneficiaries. Available information (various reports etc.) on http://nrega.nic.in to be made use of. Selection of beneficiaries under MNREGA
