19. WAY FORWARD District Level Coordination Committees need be activated for better convergence. District Panchayath presidents may be appraised. Watershed Committees are inactive in most cases. To be activated. Involvement of Grama Panchayaths are minimal. Active participation of PRIs is essential for the effective implementation. This need be ensured.

20. Conti.... Watershed Committee Secretaries over burdened by three or more watersheds. May be re-deployed. TS & Check Measurement by LSGD Engineers. They may be appraised for timely action in watershed activities. No technical support from Line Departments.
