Abstract

The study analysed the impact of the Jalasamrudhi watershed development programme on farm income. The data regarding the crops and income were collected from the Kattakada legislative constituency of the Jalasamrudhi Project, Thiruvananthapuram. A systematic sampling technique was adopted for the data collection and information was collected from 80 beneficiaries and 80 non-beneficiaries of the project, thus bringing the total sample size to 160. In addition to the watershed development programme implemented by Jalasamrudhi project, the beneficiaries of the project received one cattle per person and five poultry birds per person, enhancing their livelihoods and agricultural capabilities in the Kattakada constituency of the Jalasamrudhi Project in Thiruvananthapuram. Thus, the beneficiaries benefited from increase in an adoption of the water conservation measures and net farm income.
