The objective would be achieved by reversing water-induced land degradation, enhancing soil fertility, and improving the provision of agriculture support services. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No PHRPDODEL Components Name 1. On-Farm Development and Land Treatment:(Cost $170.70 M) 2.

In terms of social class Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes are 30.8 and 49.5% of the beneficiaries. Available information for the Project Development Objective indicators shows good progress in terms of crop yields, and increases in household income and land values. At the same time, the Project is facing increasing challenges. The areas where sodicity remains a problem are tending to be smaller and more dispersed than previously. Further, the incentives for farmer participation in the program are somewhat weaker now than in the past, due in part to the introduction of the national rural employment guarantee program and other improvements in economic opportunities for the rural poor. The Project is taking steps to address two key issues impacting full achievement of the PDO. These are capacity capacity for project implementation at the field level and setting realistic annual targets for sodic land reclamation. For the capacity issue, further pay increases have been granted to contract staff this year averaging 33% and other benefits, such as health care, have been enhanced. In addition, the complicated rules by which payments to field-based contract staff are determined have reportedly been simplified and would weaken disincentives to adhere to project design standards. With respect to the issue of pace of implementation, the Bank has agreed to a nearly two year extension in the Closing Date of the Project, to December 30, 2017. The Project is encountering difficulty in locating additional C Class land in comparison with the original implementation schedule. This is due to the declining availability of such land for treatment given the large amount of work already done by the long-term Sodic reclamation program. The extension of Closing Date has allowed the Project to set a more realistic target for land reclamation in the current year. That is set at 15,000 ha. compared with an annual average over the first four years of project implementation of 23,500 ha. The next full implementation support mission is scheduled for August. On the basis of the findings of that mission the project indicators will be updated and the ratings reviewed.
