In Nalgonda district, DPAP – batch III received funding for development of 36 watersheds in 6 mandals and the project was implemented from 1997-98 to 2003-04 to treat about 20000 ha with watershed development. 1. One of the main objectives of DPAP was to ensure and enhance people’s participation in this programme. At the inception stage, in seven of the fifteen selected watershed villages for impact assessment, Entry Point Activity (EPA) was implemented to construct bus shelters (Gorekunta, Kandikunta, Kudali, Neredavai and Voorakunta watersheds), construction of water tank and laying of pipe line (Hanuman watershed) and laying of pipe line, purchasing and fixing of electric motor/pump (Rama watershed) for village water supply that ensured community participation and awareness about the watershed project.

In watershed villages where EPA was undertaken, villagers were satisfied and appreciative of the usefulness of the works.......
