The achievement of land reclamation targets Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR4708 by UPBSN should be set against the background of a late start in large part due to staff hiring delays and challenges in procuring key inputs like gypsum and seeds on time; (iii) Work on rehabilitation and improvement of main drains is on target (812 against 822 kms of drains and 198 against 206 bridges); and (iv) Mobilization activities have progressed well. For sodic lands 5305 Water User Groups (WUGs) have been formed (target, 5000) and Site Implementation Committees (SICs) are established and functioning in all 349 first cohort villages. For ravine lands, 100 Land User Groups (LUGs) were formed and 10 SICs established.
