Evidence from Drought Prone Area Program (DPAP) in Chitradurga, Karnataka
G. Anand Vadivelu
Based on a five village study in Chitradurga, Karnataka, the paper outlines the constraints that government programs face in institutionalizing participation in watershed management.It shows that in absence of proper incentives/ disincentives people choose not to participate in the 'processes' of participatory planning and management of watersheds. The government officials too find out alternate mechanisms to meet the requirements of the guidelines.
