Abstract/Description: | During recent decades per-eminence of agricultural sector in India has declined despite huge investments on Watershed Development Programs implemented for soil conservation and rainwater harvesting in rain-dependant regions of Peninsular India. Sub-optimal gains from these projects except in a few cases, has induced migration from rural areas to urban region that are ill equipped to take additional pressure. Increased inflow of rural people into urban areas with poor coping skills and deterioration of living condition in urban centres often culminate into social and political flash points forcing the authorities to undertake shortsighted and usually counter-productive measures to keep peace. The paper describes the prevailing socio-economic and environmental scenario in rainfed regions in India that force migration by rural population despite implementation of development projects at massive costs. The study analyses the underlying reasons for the lacunae in the programs and the necessity to urgently revamp them. |
