Amodel watershed in the tribal dominated areas of southern Odisha was developedusing diverse treatments implemented by ICAR-IISWC, Research Centre,Koraput.

The overall watershedproductivity increased from 4962 kg ha-1 (pre-project) to 6126 kg ha-1 (19%) postproject period. The average human population carrying capacity of crops increased from 4.0 to 4.4 with an increase of 9.3%. The overall People Participation Index was found to be 56% indicating that the stakeholders' overall participation was above the medium level.
