Answer:

The Watershed Development Programme (WDP) initially envisaged as a

measure for poverty alleviation and improved livelihoods has gained even

greater importance in light of the worldwide recognition of its effectiveness in

combating climatic change. In India several Ministries namely, Ministry of

Agriculture, Ministry of Rural Development and Ministry of Environment and

Forests have been involved in Watershed Development Programs with

substantial variation in their approaches. The Ministry of Rural Development had

been coordinating sector-wise flagship schemes such as IWDP, DPAP and DDP

under Watershed Development Programmes. The main objective of the WDP

was to improve water conservation, irrigation facility, and land use pattern

leading to increased agricultural productivity in drought prone and desert prone

areas. Poverty reduction, better livelihoods and improved bio-physical and socioeconomic environment would bring about sustainable development.
