Before proceeding to analyze the impact of PMKSY watershed projects pertaining to Batch IV in YSR kadapa district, it would be worthwhile to have an idea of the genesis of IWMP, objectives, mode of operandi at state level, etc which forms the basis for clear understanding of the research paper. Watershed based integrated development programme is the basic means for drought mitigation and control of desertification. The concept of integrated land and water management on watershed basis through active involvement of the people which alone could improve the environment and productivity of resources was focused. As per guidelines of DPAP and DDP, micro-watershed should be the management unit and in each selected block the micro-watersheds may be classified into high, medium and low priority areas according to their vulnerability to droughts. Developmental programs stress more on restoration of ecological balance through optimum utilization of natural resources which may disturb the optimum land-man-livestock ratio.
