abstract = {Improving and sustaining rice-based cropping systems in the semi-arid region are essential in persistent drought condition triggered by worsening effects of climate change and declining water availability. This on-farm study was conducted to evaluate and identify the most productive, resource-efficient and profitable direct dry-seeded rice (DDSR) cultivars, and DDSR-based cropping systems in the semi-arid region particularly in water-short irrigated rice areas. Farmer participatory field studies were conducted in Raichur District of Karnataka State, India to assess the performance of DDSR cultivars (Samba Mahsuri, Gangavathi Sona and Prasanna) seeded during the rainy season in rotation with dryland crops (chickpea, mustard and green gram) following rice. Among the three rice cultivars, Gangavathi Sona yielded 9% and 15% higher than Samba Mahsuri and Prasanna, respectively. Our study showed that productivity of rice can be improved by using drought resistant and high yielding cultivars with high harvest index, and stable canal water supply at the reproductive stage. Chickpea and green gram yielded better than mustard under minimal soil aeration conditions of zero-tilled and non-puddled fields which indicate that suitable post-rainy season crops for zero-tilled fields must be selected. The study revealed that sowing time, which depends on rainfall pattern and schedule of canal water supply, is among the major factors to be considered in selecting rice cultivars and dryland crops to achieve higher productivity, resource use efficiency and economic returns. Cropping system involving direct dry-seeding of Gangavathi Sona, followed by chickpea achieved higher production efficiency, land and water productivity, and economic returns compared to transplanted rice (TPR) system. Improving the productivity of chickpea and other suitable dryland crops that can be grown after rice in zero-tilled fields will contribute substantially to the evolving impacts of DDSR-based cropping systems in the semi-arid region.},

Watershed programmes are recognised as a potential engine for agricultural growth and sustainable development in rain-fed areas (Wani et al., 2003). The success and sustainability of watershed programmes are directly related to collective action and community participation (Wani et al., 2008; Sreedevi and Wani, 2007). Women are key players as managers and direct actors in managing natural resources in the watershed and addressing household food security and nutritional goals. How ever, too often, they play a passive role in decision-making processes because of their low educational levels, social customs and economic dependence. Though women share a major workload for managing the natural resources, the benefits of the watershed programmes largely bypass them, except where targeted income-generating and employment interventions have been undertaken (Sreedevi et al., 2009)},

The paper demonstrated the usefulness of the partnership concept in guiding investments to support the development of agricultural technology and helping to halve the poverty. It also shows effective convergence of funds and various schemes of federal and state governments besides utilizing semi-skilled manpower as local extension agents. The paper concludes that with a strong partnership between global scientific organizations and state and nonstate actors can offer a route to equitable growth in developing countries. This approach has enabled scale-up of this program to neighboring two states of South India.},

Poverty leading to low risktaking ability of farmers and production related constraints like widespread multi-nutrient deficiencies are major stumbling blocks for shifting to high value agriculture. Realizing the need to support povertyentrapped smallholders to connect to markets, the government of Karnataka state in India supported market-led shift to high value agriculture through a consortium of technical institutions and convergence of agricultural schemes. New widespread deficiencies of secondary and micronutrients like sulfur (52% farms), zinc (55%) and boron (62%) along with earlier known deficiencies of nitrogen (52%) and phosphorus (41%) were identified as main constraints for realizing productivity potential and a threat for sustainability. Policy supported initiative during 2011/12 showed more economic returns with diversified high value crops and strengthened 0.23 million smallholders. On-farm evaluations of soil test-based nutrient balancing to tomato, okra, brinjal, chilies, onion, cabbage and beans increased productivity by 5 to 58% over the farmers? practice of adding macronutrients only. Small additional cost (` 770 to 1520 per ha) of balanced nutrition significantly increased additional benefits (` 5300 to 74,000 per ha) with fairly high cost-benefit ratio (1:4 to 1:82). Substantial returns enhanced risk-taking ability of smallholders to manage productivity constraints in future by themselves. Results showed that initial little investments in science and market-led social assistance programs should be a way forward for mainstreaming poverty-entrapped smallholders in other parts of SAT.},

abstract = {The Comprehensive Assessment (CA) of watershed programs in India undertaken by the ICRISATled consortium showed that large scope exists to improve the impact for 66% of the watershed projects by addressing the issues of productivity enhancement, technical back stopping, collective action, improving community participation, diversification of systems and targeted income-generating activities for women and landless sections of the community. The CA also identified poor capacity building as the weakest link for achieving the impact as well as for scaling-up the benefits from the exemplar watersheds in the country. Participatory management of natural resources in the watersheds was adopted as the best approach for sustainable management of natural resources in the rain-fed regions by adopting consortium approach. The consortium approach for integrated watershed management involved holistic farming systems approach and called for convergence of interventions from different sectors like livestock, poultry, markets, monitoring and evaluation, policies, institutions, finances, in addition to agricultural production. The common Watershed Guidelines of 2008 released by the Government of India have clearly emphasized strong efforts for capacity building through a new framework by adopting principles of convergence and participatory collective action. The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India in partnership with German International Cooperation (GIZ), International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE) developed a national consortium for capacity building for decentralized watershed management and piloted capacity building for decentralized watershed management through consortium approach in three states in India viz., Karnataka, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand. The results and the learning from the pilot states showed that convergence of various departments could be addressed through buy-in and timely interventions from the top officials of the concerned departments. The champions at state level played an important role for establishing the consortium as well as ensuring proper functioning of the consortium for capacity building of the integrated watershed management program (IWMP). It also showed that support from the national nodal agency/departments is expected by the states in forming of guidelines as well as technical support through the national consortium. Earlier experiences of the state department working with externally funded projects by agencies like World Bank etc., sensitized the departments and were more willing to accept new innovative approaches. The Department of Land Resources (DoLR) which is a nodal agency for implementation of IWMP in the country need to take a lead role for developing the national level capacity building strategy for enhancing the impact of the IWMP through forming national support group for providing handholding support to the states to operationalize the national capacity building strategy.},

abstract = {Many environmental benefits result from watershed interventions in the semi-arid tropics. Environmental benefits may be defined as the condition and process through which ecosystems sustain and fulfill human life, including the provision of food and other goods. The spillover effects of these benefits range from an increase in household welfare condition to ecosystem sustainability. An attempt is made in this paper to assess these benefits in the context of Indian Semi-arid tropics using primary data collected from two micro watersheds (Rajasamadhiyala and Shekta watersheds). Results indicate that groundwater availability has substantially increased and soil conservation has brought changes in cropping patterns with high-value crops. Rainwater harvesting through check dams, causeway cum check dams, percolation tanks, farm ponds and earthen bunds have significantly increased water storage capacity and water availability along with doubling the production of major crops. Significant increases in irrigated area, cropping intensity along with diversification of crops from traditional to commercial cash crops were recorded in the watersheds. Assessing the environmental benefits accrued from the watershed development approach may lead to the identification of ?keystone elements? in a landscape that have a substantial impact by providing multi-functions. The integrated watershed management practices adopted in the two micro watersheds substantially improved the sustainability in these watersheds. Using available methods we have assessed the environmental benefits of micro watersheds in the Indian semi-arid tropics},

These areas witnessacute moisture stress during critical stages of crop production, whichmake agriculture production vulnerable to pre and post productionrisks. Dryland agriculture contributes to 36 per cent of agriculturalexports and 44 per cent of food production in the country. Thus, holisticdevelopment of the rain-fed areas is one of the prime challenges of the21st century. Development of watersheds/catchment is one of the mosttrusted and eco-friendly approaches to manage rainwater and othernatural resources, which has paid rich dividends in the rain-fed areasand is capable of addressing many natural, social and environmentalintricacies (Samra 1998, Wani et al. 2002, 2003 a, b, 2009, Rockstrom.},

Rainfed agriculture contributes 60% of world?s staple food and is being practiced on 80% of the world?s agricultural area (FAOSTAT 2005). Water is a limiting factor in achieving food production (crop growth) in semi-arid and dry subhumid zones (SEI 2005). Nearly two-thirds of India?s agriculture is based on rainfed areas and contributes about 9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)1. As the source of growth in irrigated areas declines, rainfed agriculture must increase to fill the gap.},
