 PREFACE

Most of the rain water received during monsoon period flows to sea

within 48 hours of rainfall due to the character of the geographic terrain of

the state and rainfall here is seasonal in nature. Hence, irrigation is a must

for the successful cultivation of crops in Kerala. It helps to grow crops,

maintain landscape and revegetate disturbed soils in dry area and during

times of below average rainfall. Minor irrigation plays an important role in

the development of agriculture and livelihoods particularly in drought

prone areas and areas outside command of Major and Medium projects. This

requires smaller investment, have the advantage of short gestation period

and its benefits reach the farmers immediately.

The Centrally Sponsored Plan Scheme “Rationalisation of Minor

Irrigation Statistics (RMIS)” was launched in 1987 with 100% central

assistance to the state. The major activity under the scheme is All India

Census of Minor Irrigation Schemes conducted quinquennially in the states

covering all ground water and Surface water Minor Irrigation Schemes. The

6th MI Census with reference year 2017-18 along with the census of 1st Water

Bodies was conducted under RMIS, Ministry of Water Resources GOI. The

main purpose of the census was to collect comprehensive information of the

status of MI Schemes, their working condition, mode of irrigation, irrigation

potential created and utilized in each scheme. The primary data was

collected in prescribed schedules by the Overseers and Draftsmen and

supervised by the Assistant Engineers and Assistant Executive Engineers of

Irrigation Department.

The report provides results at the district and state level by the way of

integrated tables supported by statistical charts and graphs. District wise

census data by specific types of schemes- dug wells, shallow, medium and

deep tube wells, surface flow and lift schemes along with specific features

have also been presented.

At this juncture, I would like to thank the Additional Chief Secretary

of Water Resources, Principal Secretary to Government, Department of

Irrigation, Principal Secretary to Government, Planning and Economic

Affairs Department and Director of Economics and Statistics, and Deputy

Chief Engineer (Irrigation & Administration) who gave their full support

and guidance in successful completion of the Minor Irrigation Census 2017-18.

I would like to thank the Executive Engineers (Minor Irrigation) in all

districts who regularly monitored the field work and personally review the

progress made till the end of census operations.

I register my appreciation to the primary workers, overseers and

draftsmen of Minor Irrigation Department who did the field work in

collecting the qualitative information and completed it within the prescribed

time schedule and the Assistant Engineers, Assistant Executive Engineers

and their team who provided all necessary information required by the field

functionaries and supervised the work rigorously till the end of the census

duty.

I also comment the responsibility and zeal with which the RMIS Cell of

this department and their staffs, who right from the stage of imparting the

training to the primary workers, regular supervision of the field work,

through scrutiny of the data schedules, until preparing the report had done

excellent job in smooth conduct of the census work.

This report will help policy makers, planners, research scholars,

academicians, administrators, scientists, ground water users, agriculturists

and all other stake holders in this field.

HIGHLIGHTS
 As per the 6th Census of Minor Irrigation (MI) Schemes with reference year 2017-
18, Kerala has 92,574 Minor Irrigation schemes comprising of 67.5% (62,453)
Ground Water (GW) schemes and 32.5% (30,121) Surface Water(SW) schemes.
There has been decrease to the tune of 10.7% with 92,574 schemes in the 6th MI
census as compared to the 1, 03,657 schemes in the 5th MI census in the State of
Kerala.

 The State has reported a decline of 24.3% (20,015) in GW schemes and a growth of
42.2% (8,932) in SW schemes during the 6th MI census as compared to the 82,468
GW schemes and 21,189 SW schemes recorded in the 5thcensus.

 Out of the 92,574 MI schemes reported in the State of Kerala, 56.32% (52,135) are
dug well schemes followed by 23.6% (21,852) surface lift, 8.93% (8,269) surface
flow, 5.73% (5,301) medium tube well, 3.4% (3,146) shallow tube well and 2.02%
(1,871) deep tube well schemes.

 Out of 92,574 MI schemes, the majority of the schemes i.e. 86.4% (80,011) are under
individual ownership, 8.8% (8,153) schemes are public owned and 4.8% (4,410)
schemes are with groups of farmers. Among 62,453 GW schemes, 95.8% (59,799)
schemes are under individual ownership and among 30,121 SW schemes, 67.1%
(20,212) are owned by individual farmers. Most of the MI structures in Kerala are
owned by individual farmers/public.

 Out of 80,011 individually owned schemes, based on the holding size of the owner,
marginal farmers own a major share of 82.5% (65,995) in MI schemes. The rest of the
17.5% schemes are owned by small farmers, semi- medium, medium and big farmers.
This emphasizes the need for strengthening the network of MI structures for irrigation
purposes which will play crucial roles in improving the livelihood of marginal
farmers.
 2

 The Source of finance has been collected in the census for the schemes owned by
individual farmers. Out of the total 80,011 individually owned schemes, 74.6%
(59,681) have a single source of finance whereas 25.4% (20,330) have more than one
source of finance. In these schemes with a single source of finance (59,681), the
majority of schemes i.e. 91.3% (54,511) are being financed by own savings of
individual farmers. Other reported sources of finance are Bank Loan 1.9% (1,156),
Government funds 1.1% (633), money lender0.4% (211) and others 5.3% (3,170).

 Out of a total number of 92,574 MI schemes, 99.3% (91,881) are 'in use', 0.5% (503)
are 'temporarily not in use' and only 0.2% (190) are 'permanently not in use' schemes.

 Out of 503 'temporarily not in use' schemes, 180 are GW schemes and 323 are SW
schemes. Among 190 'permanently not in use' schemes, 73 are GW schemes and 117
are SW schemes.

 During the 6th MI census, the information on lifting device was collected for 'in use'
and 'temporarily not in use' schemes which comes under the category of ground water
and surface lift schemes. The number of such schemes is 84,168, out of the total
92,574 MI schemes. Out of these (84,168) schemes, the majority of schemes i.e
70.0% (58,921) have a centrifugal pump, 22.1% (18,557) are operated with a
submersible pump, 4.3% (3,647) with manual or animal lifting devices, 2.4% (2,057)
schemes have turbines as lifting devices and rest 1.2% (986) use some other lifting
devices.

 The information on the source of energy used for operating the lifting device for
lifting water from the source was collected for 'in use' and 'temporarily not in use'
schemes which fall under the category of ground water and surface lift schemes. The
number of such schemes is 84,168. Out of these (84,168) schemes, the majority of
schemes i.e., 89.4% (75,211) schemes are using an electric pump as a source of
energy followed by diesel pump in 5.1% (4,263) schemes whereas the remaining
5.5% (4,694) use energy generated through manual/animal sources, wind mills, solar
pump and other devices.
 3

 As per the 6th MI Census, the percentage share of MI schemes that distribute water
through an open water channel (unlined/ kutcha) is 22.6% (20,815) followed by 7.4%
(6,848) through an underground pipe and 4.6% (4,241) through an open water channel
(lined/ pucca). The water distribution devices used in the rest of the MI schemes are
54.2% (49,755) surface pipes, 5.5% (5,051) others, 4.0% (3,639) sprinklers and 1.7%
(1,532) drip.

 There has been a decrease of 26.9% in the irrigation potential created from minor
irrigation structures in the State during the 6th Minor Irrigation Census as compared
to the 5th Minor Irrigation Census since IPC is decreased from 2,44705 hectares
during the 5th MI census to 1,81,611 hectares during the 6th MI census. Irrigation
potential utilized was 2, 25,872 hectares during the 5th MI Census in Kerala, which
has decreased by 23.4% during the 6th MI Census.

 As per the 6th MI Census, 35,346 hectares of irrigation potential is created through
GW schemes and 1, 46,265 hectares through SW schemes. Irrigation potential utilized
is 34,449 hectares and 1, 40,550 hectares for GW and SW schemes respectively. This
shows that 97.5 % of the potential created through GW schemes has been utilized
while percentage utilization in respect of SW schemes is 96.1%.

 Surface flow has the highest IPC & IPU followed by surface lift schemes. If we see
the ratio of IPU to IPC in the 6thMI census in different types of schemes, all the
schemes show more than 95% utilization of the potential created.

 It is observed in the previous rounds of MI censuses that many 'in use' schemes were
under-utilized due to various constraints. As per the 6th MI Census, 1,672 (1.8%)
schemes out of 91,881 'in use' schemes in Kerala are under-utilized due to several
reasons. The remaining 98.2% 'in use' MI schemes are functioning without any
constraints. Among 1,672 under-utilized schemes, 833 are GW schemes and 839 are
SW schemes.

CHAPTER I

GENERAL BACKGROUND

1.1 Introduction
Considering the huge population, Agriculture with its allied sectors are the largest
livelihood provider in India. The agriculture sector also contributes a significant figure to the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Agriculture also acts as a supplier of raw materials for various
industries. While the agriculture sector in Kerala has much potential, it is facing many
challenges concerning growth. Kerala is characterized by the existence of a series of micro
environments suited to diverse kinds of agriculture and related activity. It is our task to
translate the potential of Kerala’s biodiversity into income for our people.

Irrigation mainly refers to the application of the required amount of water to the plants
at required intervals. It is necessary for both farming and increasing the yield from the farm. It
also benefits by providing moisture for the germination of seeds, making the soil more fertile
and facilitating proper growth and development. Various irrigation schemes in India were
classified by the erstwhile planning commission into three parts viz. Minor, Medium and
Major Irrigation schemes. Minor irrigation projects have both surface and groundwater as their
source, while major and medium projects mostly exploit surface water resources. Minor
irrigation schemes contribute a major share in the growing irrigation across the country.

1.2 Minor Irrigation Schemes

Irrigation schemes using either in groundwater or in surface water and having a

Cultivable Command Area up to 2000 hectares individually are categorized as Minor
Irrigation (M.I) Schemes. The schemes have been categorized broadly into six major types (1)
Dug well (2) Shallow Tube well(3) Medium Tube well (4) Deep Tube well (5)Surface flow
schemes and (6) Surface lift schemes.
The surface water schemes comprise surface flow schemes and surface lift irrigation
schemes. The surface flow schemes consist of tanks, check dams and structures and can serve
as water conservation cum ground water recharge scheme. Surface lift schemes are generally
built in regions where topography does not permit direct flow irrigation from rivers and
 7

streams and hence water has to be lifted into irrigation channels. These works are similar to
diversion schemes but in addition, pumps are installed and pump houses are also constructed.
The ground water schemes comprise dug well, dug cum bore wells, shallow, medium
and deep tube wells. Dug wells cover ordinary open wells of varying dimensions. The tube
wells may be categorized as shallow whose depth does not exceed 35 meters, medium whose
depth in between 35-70 meters and deep tube well whose depth is more than 70 meters.

1.3 Sources of Data

The main sources of Minor Irrigation data are

(a) Land Use Statistics of Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare

The Department of Economics And Statistics, Government of Kerala collects,
compiles and publishes the net area irrigated by the Government canals, Private canals, tanks,
tube wells, other wells and other sources for Blocks/ Districts and State level. The Primary
data for land use statistics are collected by Statistical Investigators in prescribed forms and are
estimated based on sample surveys. However these data do not give information on the
number of Minor irrigation structures.
(b) Periodical Progress Reports
Minor irrigation programs in the state are dealt with different departments
under different development sectors. Periodical progress reports from these departments
provide financial provisions for the construction of M I schemes in the public sector and the
number of M I Structures by Government or local bodies. The structures installed by the
farmers from their efforts are generally not recorded.
(c) Administration Report
Since M I Programme is dealt by more than one department, the annual
administration report of the irrigation department gives the statistics of that department only.
(d) Adhoc Reports
Adhoc reports prepared by various agencies based on sample surveys of M I
Works have a definite purpose and accordingly, the priorities and weightage given to the
irrigation data suffer from several deficiencies. They are sometimes intended to through light
upon the socio -economic impact in certain areas.
 8

(e) Agriculture Census

Department of Economics & Statistics, Government of Kerala, provides
information on the number of irrigation sources by type of social class and size class of
farmers owning these assets through the Agriculture Census of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Farmers Welfare. The Census also provides data on area irrigated by the different sources of
irrigation by social classes as well as by size class holding of farmers once in five years.

(f) Cost of Cultivation Survey

Cost of Cultivation Survey by Agriculture Universities and Department of
Economics & Statistics, Government of Kerala provides some information on the use of Minor
Irrigation Schemes and crop- wise cost of irrigation by different sources.
 9

CHAPTER II
Development of Minor Irrigation and its Organizations
2.1 Development of Minor Irrigation
In Government of India, the Minor Irrigation section is handled by the Department of
Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR, RD&GR),
Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Rural Development and the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. At the
state level, respective Ministries and Departments of Water Resources, Agriculture and Rural
Development deal with the sector. The augmentation, conservation and efficient management
of water resources are primarily undertaken by the State Government and the Central
Government provides technical and financial assistance to the state through various schemes
and programs for the development of the sector.

Central government provides financial assistance to states for constructing MI Schemes

either through the Department of Irrigation/MI, Water Resources Development or under
PWD/local bodies. In the state, subsidy is being provided for the construction of MI schemes
for drilling/boring of tube wells, for digging of wells, purchasing of water distribution devices
and micro irrigation equipment like pipes, drip, sprinklers, etc.

No single State Government Department is involved in the development of MI works

and a large number of private works are being constructed with or without the support of the
Government. Hence at the state level, coordination and monitoring of MI Schemes become
difficult. The National Commission on Agriculture examined the status of MI Schemes in
India and recommended that a census of irrigation sources be carried out once in five years. A
detailed Census of MI works was first recommended by the Planning Commission in 1970.

A central scheme “Rationalization of Minor Irrigation Statistics (RMIS)” was launched

in1987-88 with 100% central assistance to States/UTs. The RMIS Scheme became part of the
Central Sector Scheme “Development of Water Resources Information System (DWRIS)”
during the XI th Five Year Plan. During XII plan, RMIS was a subcomponent of “The
Irrigation Census” component of plan scheme DWRIS.

Currently Irrigation Census is a standalone component under the umbrella

scheme – Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) and other schemes. PMKSY has
been formulated with the vision of extending the coverage of irrigation “Har khait ko pani”
 10

and improving water use efficiency “more crop per drop” in a focused manner with end to end
solutions on source creation, distribution, management, field applications and extension
activities. PMKSY not only focuses on creating water resources for assured irrigation, but it is
also creating protective irrigation by harnessing rain water at the micro level- “Jal Sanchay” &
“Jal Sinchan”.

2.2 Rationalisation of Minor Irrigation Statistics (RMIS)

The main objective of the RMIS scheme is to build up a comprehensive and reliable
database in the MI sector for future planning. The major activity under the scheme is the All
India Census of Minor Irrigation Schemes conducted quinquennially in the States/UTs
covering all ground water and surface water schemes. MI Census collects detailed information
on various parameters like irrigation sources, irrigation potential created, potential utilizes,
ownership, holding the type of land by owner , devices used for lifting water, sources of
energy, energy conserving devices such as sprinkler and drip irrigation, use of non-
conventional energy sources such as solar pumps, windmills, etc.

The first minor Irrigation census was conducted with the reference year 1986-87, the
second with the reference year 1993-94, the third in 2000-2001, the fourth with 2006-2007 and
the fifth census was conducted with reference year 2013-2014. The sixth MI Census with
reference year 2017-18 along with the Census of Water Bodies is being conducted during
2017-18 to 2019-20. The scope of the “Irrigation Census” scheme has been enlarged by the
launch of the First Census of Water Bodies in convergence with the 6th Minor Irrigation
Census to develop a national database for all water bodies. The convergence of the 6th MI
Census and Census of Water Bodies offers substantial savings in resources on planning,
training of field staff, field work, scrutiny, data entry, validation, etc. because the coverage
area of both the censuses in rural areas is the same.

For the implementation of the scheme, each State/UT identifies a Nodal Department for
the collection, compilation and dissemination of information for the State. State Statistical
Cells are generally created within the Nodal Department and identified by the State
Government. These Cells assist the Head of the Nodal Department or Census Commissioner in
the State in organizing, coordinating and supervising the Census as and when planned by the
Ministry. In Kerala, RMIS cell in irrigation department is the nodal department.
 11

CHAPTER III
CENSUS OF MINOR IRRIGATION SCHEMES

3.1 MINOR IRRIGATION SCHEMES

All ground water schemes and surface water schemes (both flow and lift)
having a Cultivable Command Area (CCA) of less than 2000 hectares individually are
classified as minor irrigation schemes. Minor irrigation schemes are categorized into six types:
(1) Dug wells/dug-cum-bore wells (2) Shallow Tube wells (3) Medium Tube wells and (4)
Deep tube wells come under the category of Ground water schemes whereas (5) Surface flow
schemes and (6) Surface lift schemes come under the category of Surface water schemes.

The need for conducting the census of minor irrigation arose as it was
felt that a database of these schemes would serve the planning, development and management
needs of irrigation in the country which contributes to the growth of agriculture in a big way.
For effective implementation of policy and planning, a sound database regarding the minor
irrigation sector is a must. So far five minor irrigation censuses have been conducted to meet
this objective.

3.2 MINOR IRRIGATION CENSUS - CHRONOLOGY

 The 1st Census of minor irrigation schemes was conducted with reference year 1986-
87 and the report was published in November 1993.
 The 2nd MI census with reference year 1993-94 was initiated in September 1994 and
the report was published in March 2001. The information with respect to the
adoption of newly developed technology of Water and Energy Conserving Devices
such as Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation Systems and the use of Non-Conventional
Energy sources such as Solar Pumps and Windmills were collected in this Census.
For the first time, the census data was computerized with the help of the National
Informatics Centre and the results were put on the website of the Ministry.
 The 3rd census of M.I. schemes with reference year 2000-2001 was conducted in 33
States/UTs. The report was released in November 2005. Data entry was initiated at
the district level in States as against State Headquarters during the 3rdMI census.
 12

 The 4th Census of MI schemes was conducted with reference year 2006-07 and the
number of schedules was reduced from 6 to 3 in this Census –one village schedule,
one ground water schedule covering all types of ground water schemes and one
surface water schedule for surface water schemes. This Census also saw the
introduction of new items of data collection like cost and source of funding of MI
schemes, sources used to energize these schemes, etc. The national report of the 4th
MI census was published in 2014.
 The 5th Census of minor irrigation schemes was conducted with the reference year
2013-14. For the first time, a new category of MI scheme namely- A Medium tube
well (with a depth ranging from 35 to 70 m) was introduced under Ground water MI
scheme, as per the needs of the State Government to capture the rapid changes in the
ground water sector. New items of data collection like the number of lifting devices,
more than one source of energy and source of finance were added to the scheme
schedules to capture the diversities in the types of lifting devices, funding patterns,
subsidies and sources of energy employed by the owners of minor irrigation
schemes.

A dedicated online portal for the 5th MI Census was designed and
maintained by the National Informatics Centre. In the 5th MI Census, online data entry and
validation was attempted for the first time using this portal which facilitated real time progress
monitoring of data entry/validation both by Central and State Governments. The national
report of 5th MI census was published in 2017.

3.3 6th MINOR IRRIGATION CENSUS

The 6th Census of minor irrigation schemes was conducted with reference year 2017-
18. Three schedules namely village schedule, ground water schedule and surface water
schedule were canvassed in this census. The First Census of Water Bodies was conducted in
convergence with the 6th Minor Irrigation schemes, for which two additional schedules
namely the urban schedule and water body schedule were canvassed. The report of the First
Census of Water Bodies has been published.
The changes which were incorporated in the 6th MI census as compared to the 5th MI
census are as follows:
 13

• The information about the gender of the owner of the MI scheme was also collected
in the case of individual ownership, along with the social status of the owner.
• In the 5th Census, only the pre-monsoon average ground water level in a village was
taken. In the 6th Census, the post-monsoon average ground water level was also canvassed in
the village schedule.
• If an MI scheme is in the command area of any Major/Medium Irrigation scheme, the
name of the Major/ Medium Scheme was also collected in the 6th census along with its
reasons.
• The schemes meant only for the recharge of the Ground water was also covered in
the 6th MI Census.
The fieldwork of the minor irrigation census was commenced in 2018-19. Training was
imparted to State Government Officials in Regional Data processing Workshops and
States/UTs started data entry and validation work on the online portal. Meanwhile tabulation
plan was prepared by the MI-Statistics Wing was shared with National Informatics Centre.
After completion of data entry and validation by the States/UTs, comments of the States/UTs
on certain broad parameters were sought after scrutiny and thorough consistency checking of
data emerging from the tabulation reports at the Central level. After rectification, if any, by
State Governments, data on the online portal was freezed to generate the final tables on
various parameters. After receiving comments on final tables from all States, the State level
reports were generated and State level data was aggregated to finalize the National level report
in its present form. The following tables have been generated from the 6th MI Census.

Integrated Tables:-

These tables contain district wise aggregate data for the reference year 2017-18 for all
types of schemes on key items viz. Number, Irrigation Potential Created, Irrigation Potential
Utilized for MI schemes, Crop-wise irrigation, Sources of finance for construction of schemes
in the private sector, Distribution of MI schemes- by social category, Type of farmers, e.g.,
marginal, small, big farmers, Use of distribution devices, Constraints in utilization of MI
schemes.

Scheme-wise tables:-

These contain detailed tables on other important aspects of ground water and surface
water MI schemes separately by each type of scheme. The items covered are ownership of the
 14

scheme, cost of construction, distribution device, social status of owner, type and status of the
scheme, source of finance and water lifting device. The scheme-wise tables also provide data
for each district separately on each item. Block & Village level data is available on the website
of the Ministry and will also be made available in the Open Government Data (OGD) platform
([Link] as per the National Data Sharing & Accessibility Policy (NDSAP),
Government of India.

CHAPTER IV
METHODOLOGY OF MINOR IRRIGATION CENSUS

4.1 METHODOLOGY OF DATA COLLECTION

In the 6th MI Census, the traditional methodology i.e. canvassing paper based
schedules for capturing the village level data and the MI scheme data from the rural areas was
used.

The MI Census data was collected through canvassing different schedules for the
village and minor irrigation schemes. The village schedule was canvassed from revenue / land
records maintained in the office of Government authorities and enquiries from village level
workers/gram pradhans etc. Scheme related schedules were canvassed by the enumerators
through enquiries from the owners of the schemes. In the case of institutional schemes, the
information was collected through available records. The schedules of enquiry along with
instructions/ guidelines for filling them were provided separately.

Along with the field work, supervision and checking were done by:-(i) Enumerator’s
supervisor (ii) Block level officers (iii) District level officers (iv) State level officers as per the
prescribed norms. After thorough scrutiny of the schedule, the data entry was done at State
level on the online portal developed by NIC. The validated data was again examined at the
Central Level before the generation of the final table.

4.2 COORDINATION MECHANISM

A Steering Committee was constituted at the Central level under the Chairmanship of
the Secretary and members from NITI Aayog, Central line Ministries like the Ministry of
 15

Agriculture, Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Housing and Urban Affairs, Home Affairs,
Statistics and Programme Implementation, State Governments of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh,
Telangana, Haryana, West Bengal and Sikkim apart from Central Water Commission and
Central Ground Water Board to guide and advise about the conduct of 6th MI Census. The
methodology of the Census, schedules, etc. were finalized by the Steering Committee.

Steering Committees was also formed in the State with the Secretary of Water
Resources Department as Chairman and members from the State Departments of Revenue,
Irrigation, Panchayati Raj, State Planning, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Rural
Development and State head of National Sample Survey Office (Field Operations Division) to
provide technical inputs and guide the State Nodal Statistical Cell during the Census
operations. The Regional Chief Engineer of Central Water Commission and a representative
from regional office of the Central Ground Water Board were also members of this
Committee. Teams were also formed at the State level which included officers of the State
Statistical Cell (RMIS cell) for conduct of census in the State. These teams were entrusted
with the work of training, monitoring, coordination and supervision of the Census exercise in
the State. Thus the technical staffs of the State Statistical Cells were trained during the State
level trainings organized by the Centre.

4.3 FIELDWORK

The 6th Minor Irrigation Census was conducted under the overall charge of the Census
Commissioner- Chief Engineer, Irrigation & Administration, and the Nodal department of the
State. The fieldwork was also undertaken by the Nodal department itself. The primary work of
collection of data was carried out by the enumerators –draftsman/overseers of irrigation
department. The work of supervision was entrusted to Assistant Engineers, Assistant
Executive Engineers and Executive Engineers in concerned Panchyath, Block and District
level. In addition, Central team along with the State Statistical Cell officials conducted field
visits in the State and checked the quality of field work.

The primary enumerators were required to take along-with them the list of all schemes
covered in the last census while going for field work. He was supposed to visit and cover all
these schemes again. He was also required to find out from village officials/knowledgeable
people, any new MI schemes that had started functioning after last census. The primary
enumerators, while canvassing the schedules, visited the owner of the minor irrigation
 16

schemes or its next neighbour and collected information based on personal enquiry from him.
The physical verification of the schemes was also done by the enumerators. The purpose of the
Census was explained to the farmers/owners to win over their confidence in revealing the
specific information in respect of minor irrigation schemes as the case may be with the
assurance that the data furnished by them would be kept confidential.

After filling up the schedules, the enumerators were required to deposit all completed
schedules to their immediate supervisor for scrutiny. The enumerators were also required to
prepare the summary of all village schedules, schemes schedules in the prescribed format and
submit it to his immediate supervisor.

4.4 SUPERVISION AND INSPECTION

Primary enumerators for field work were either village level workers or village
accountants or Lekhpals or Patwaries or any other official designated by the State/UT
Government. The work of supervision was entrusted to higher supervisor level officers of
the field agency. However the overall quality of field work was monitored by
Block/District/State level officers, who in order to ensure the correctness of data conducted
frequent site visits of the schemes as per prescribed norms and checked the entries made by
primary enumerators. In addition, Central team along with the State Statistical Cell
officials conducted field visits in the States/UTs and checked the quality of field work

4.5 SAMPLE CHECK

The block level officer were required to visit at least 5 villages in his block and
physically verify the schemes, quality of census and the extent of coverage of schemes in the
village and scrutinize 35% of MI scheme schedules and 100% village schedule. This was
introduced in the 6th MI Census for ensuring better quality of data. This scrutiny was done for
just 10% of scheme schedules during 5th MI Census. This was to be carried out by the
immediate supervisory officer of the enumerator in the field agency.

On completion of the scrutiny and after the field visits; block level officer was required
to fill up the supervisor’s report form and submit all the schedules to the district level officer
concerned. At least 1% of the total schedules or 100 schedules, whichever is maximum, were
supposed to be selected at random and scrutinized by the district level officer. The district
level officer was advised to visit at least 5 villages in 5 separate blocks to physically verify the
 17

quality and coverage of the MI schemes schedules. After the completion of inspection of the
field work and scrutiny of the schedules; the supervisor’s report form was to be filled up by the
district level officer and submitted to the State Nodal office.

The Monthly Progress Reports on the Census were sent by the State adequately
reflecting the scrutiny /inspection details sent by Block/ District level officer along with
progress of field work and data entry. The filled up schedules were handed over by the State
Nodal Office to the NIC. For the processing of data, the web based online software developed
by Central NIC, was used for data entry, validation, tabulation etc.

Frequent inspections and sample checks were conducted by officers from the State
Statistical cells for ensuring data quality. Field visits were also done by the Central team from
the Department of Water Resources, RD & GR.

4.6 COMPUTERISATION OF CENSUS DATA

NIC had developed the online software for computerization of data of 6th MI Census
and provided technical support along with training in the Regional Data Processing
Workshops organized by the Ministry in association with the host States.
This was followed by State level trainings organized by the State Census
Commissioner. The user ID and password for accessing the online portal were provided to the
State nodal officers by the time. Online data entry, validation etc. were done by the State.
The Census data entered in the online portal by the State was again scrutinized at the
Central level and observations/queries thereon were referred to State for possible
corrections/clarification. On-line tables were generated on the portal on the basis of data fed by
State. After receipt of comments from States and due rectification, the online tables generated
through portal were analyzed and aggregated for compiling National Level Report and State
Level Report. The State Census Commissioner can use the data as available on the online
portal for generating micro level tables as per their requirement.

4.7 TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR DATA COLLECTION

The Training for the 6th MI Census commenced formally with the organization of the
All India Training Workshop for the Trainers at New Delhi in which officers from each
State/UT participated. In addition, Six Regional Training Workshops were conducted for
Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, Central and the North Eastern regions covering all
 18

States/UTs. Apart from training on concepts, definitions, schedules and instruction manual,
field training was also imparted to officials from State Governments/UT Administration in
these Workshops. These Workshops were attended by 3-4 participants from each State/UT
who imparted the next level State trainings organized by the Minor Irrigation Census
Commissioners at the State and District Headquarters in which the district level officers and
block level officers/enumerators respectively were trained. A representative from the Centre
generally participates as an Observer in some of such State level trainings. In addition, the
District level officers from all the districts, State level NIC officers, State Agricultural
Statistical Agency/Directorate of Economics and Statistics Head attended the State trainings.
The details of the methodology adopted for the census, its procedure, concepts and definitions
etc. were discussed thoroughly and necessary clarifications were also given in such trainings.
Four Regional Data Processing Workshops were also organized in which
officers from all State/UTs were imparted detailed training on various modules of the online
web-based software developed by NIC for 6th census. Suggestions/feedback received from the
States/UTs in these workshops was also incorporated in the software. The State /UT level
officers trained in these Workshops imparted further training in their respective States/UTs.

4.8 FINANCIAL ASPECTS

As a token of appreciation of work entrusted to various officials in

addition to their normal duties and not as compensation or remuneration for additional work,
the officials who are involved in the inspection of field work and schedules at the District/
Block levels were paid suitable honorarium which was drawn from the grants released to the
States by the Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation,
Ministry of Jal Shakti for the 6th MI Census. Funds for contingency were also provided for
various trainings/meetings or any other unforeseen miscellaneous expenditure of contingent
nature which can arise during the conduct of the Census.

4.9 MONITORING PROCESS

The State Governments was required to submit Monthly Progress Report

regarding the various phases of Census work in the prescribed Performa to the Ministry by
email/ by post or by Fax. Further, Progress Monitoring module available in the online web
based software developed by NIC also enabled to view the real-time progress in data entry and
validation phases of Census work. The key issues related to progress are also taken up with
 19

senior officers of State through Video Conferences and visits to State, apart from review
meetings with officers of State in the Ministry. This helped in monitoring the progress of
Census work and ensuring remedial measures wherever called for.

CHAPTER V
ANALYSIS AND KEY FINDINGS

The 6th Census of minor irrigation schemes with reference year 2017-18 was
conducted across the state covering 14 districts. It involved large scale collection of data of
minor irrigation structures and was completed by primary workers in the state under the
overall supervision of RMIS Cell in Irrigation Department for compilation of minor
irrigation statistics under 'Irrigation Census' scheme. 6th minor irrigation census report
covers important information on all ground water and surface water schemes in the state.

5.1 KEY FINDINGS:-

Key findings of this Census, parameter wise analysis, scheme wise analysis and the
comparison with 5th Census are summarized as under:-

 Ground water accounts for major share (67.5%) of all the minor irrigation schemes
in the state. Among Ground water schemes, dug well and shallow tube well are
declining whereas an increase has been observed in medium and deep tube well.
Among surface water schemes, both surface lift schemes and surface flow schemes
are increasing.
 Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and Irrigation Potential Utilized (IPU) from
Ground water schemes and Surface water schemes have declined in the 6th MI
Census.
 91.2% of minor irrigation schemes continue to remain under private ownership
whereas 8.8% are under public ownership. Most MI structures are owned by
individual farmers and hence it has maximum outreach for irrigation purposes.
Within this, small and marginal farmers (having less than 2 ha of land) still own a
 20

major share of minor irrigation schemes. This emphasizes the need for
strengthening the network of MI structures for irrigation purposes which, in turn,
will play a crucial role in improving the livelihood of these farmers.
 Own saving of the farmers continues to be the major source of financing for
installation of minor irrigation schemes, pointing out the need for more financial
support to the farmers by the financial institutions.
 Though the share of open channels for conveying water to the fields has reduced in
6th MI census, it still remains the major mode of water distribution.
Correspondingly, the share of efficient water distribution systems like surface pipe,
drip and sprinklers has increased, while underground pipe has declined. Surface pipe
has recorded the highest increase, followed by sprinkler and drip.
 Total number of MI schemes in the state has shown a decrease of 11083 in 6 th MI
Census as compared to 5th MI Census. Scheme wise analysis reveals an increase in
the number of medium tube wells, deep tube wells, surface flow schemes and
surface lift schemes. Number of dug wells, and shallow tube wells in the state have
recorded a decline in 6th MI Census.
 During 6th MI census, the information on lifting device was collected for ‘in use’
and ‘temporarily not in use’ schemes which comes under the category of ground
water and surface lift schemes. Majority of schemes i.e. 70% have centrifugal pump,
followed by 22% submersible pump 2.5% turbine whereas 4.3% are operated by
manual/animal lifting and the rest other devices.
 89% schemes are using electricity as source of energy followed by diesel pumps in
5% schemes.

As per the definition used in the census, the schemes which were not in use during last
two year before the reference year due to temporary reason but was also not being abandoned
for use were categorized as 'temporarily not in use'. The remaining schemes i.e. the schemes
excluding 'in use' and 'temporary not in use' were classified as 'permanently not in use'. Number
of ‘not in use’ schemes reported in 5th and 6th MI censuses are given below.

5.3.2 Irrigation Potential Created (IPC) and Utilized (IPU) by MI schemes:

Overall IPC figure shows significant decrease of 63094 Ha as compared to 5 th MI

census. The IPC has decreased from 46710 Ha to 35346 Ha in case of GW schemes and
197995 Ha to 146265 Ha in the case of SW schemes. The main reasons for the same as
reported are i) shifting of SW schemes used for irrigation purposes to non- agricultural
purpose like ground water recharge ii) due to fall in water level and drying up/ extinction of
small surface water resources iii) reduction of agricultural land due to urbanization and
industrialization etc.

The IPU has decreased from 44433 Ha to 34449 Ha in case of GW schemes and the
IPU in SW schemes have shown a decrease (from 181439 Ha to 140550 Ha) as in 5th MI
census. Overall IPU figure shows decrease of 4th MI Census as compared to 5th MI census.
During 5th MI census, 45.42% schemes used open channels for conveying water to the
fields; this has reduced to 27.27 % in 6th MI census which can reduce wastage of water.
The share of efficient water distribution systems like surface pipe, drip and sprinklers have
also increased while underground pipe decreased.

As per 6th MI census, 35346 Ha of irrigation potential is created through Ground

Water schemes and 146265 Ha through Surface Water schemes while irrigation potential
utilized is 34449 hectares and 140550 Ha for GW and SW schemes respectively. This
shows that 97.5% of the potential created in GW has been utilized while percentage
utilization in respect of SW is 96.1%.

Scheme-wise CCA, IPC, IPU and ratio of IPU to IPC during 6th MI census is given in the
table given below. If we analyze further at the scheme level, Surface flow scheme have
highest IPC & IPU followed surface lift schemes and the Dug wells.

If we see the ratio of IPU to IPC in 6th MI census in different types of schemes, almost all
the schemes show more than 95% utilization of created potential.

5.3.3 Under-utilisation of In-use schemes:

For the MI schemes which are ‘in use’, under-utilisation has been observed as the
gap between irrigation potential created and irrigation potential utilized which is recorded
in the census. Out of total 91881 ‘in use’ MI schemes in 6th MI census, about 1672 (1.82%)
schemes were having constraints in utilisation due to reasons like mechanical breakdown,
less discharge of water, storage notfully filled up, non-availability of adequate power
supply etc. Remaining 98.18% ‘in use’ MI schemes have been found functioning without
any constraints.

Under-utilisation of In-use Ground Water schemes:

If we see the under-utilisation, by type of constraint in ‘in-use’,GW schemes, other

reason- 55%, ‘less discharge of water’ -25% and 6.5% ‘non availability of adequate power
seem to be the main reasons for under utilization of schemes.

Under-utilisation of In-use Surface Water schemes:

If we see the under-utilisation by type of constraint in ‘in-use’ SW schemes,

33.61% of other reasons, 21.93% of less discharge of water14.54% inadequate power
seems to be main reasons.

5.3.4 Ownership of MI schemes:

Data of ownership of MI schemes reflects that 91.2% of the MI structures are under
private ownership and only 8.8% is in under public domain. This pattern is more dominant
in Ground water schemes where almost all type of schemes (97.2%) has private ownership.
In Surface Water Schemes, 21.3% schemes are in public ownership and 78.7% are in
private ownership. However in surface water schemes, surface flow schemes have
remarkably high public ownership of 44.1% whereas 87.3% surface lift schemes are
privately owned. This clearly reveals that most MI structures in Kerala are owned by
individual farmers or group of farmers and hence it has maximum outreach for irrigation
purposes which establishes the need of strengthening the network of MI structures in the
country for irrigation purposes.

5.3.6 Financing of MI schemes:

Source of finance has been collected for the MI schemes owned by individual
farmer. Around 74.6% schemes have single source of finance whereas 25.4% schemes have
two sources of finance.

In single source of finance also, majority of schemes (91.3%) are financed by own
savings of individual farmer. Other important sources of finance are bank loan (1.9%),
government fund (1.1%) and money lender (0.4%). The fact that institutional sources
contribute only 11.36% of the finances raised for installation of MI schemes indicates need
for higher intervention by the organized financial sector in extending loans for installation
of MI schemes.

5.3.7 Distribution of lifting devices in MI schemes:

During 6th MI census, the information on lifting device was collected for ‘in use’
and ‘temporarily not in use’ schemes which comes under the category of ground water and
surface lift schemes. Majority of schemes i.e., 70% have centrifugal pump followed by
22.1% submersible pump, 2.43% turbine whereas 4.3% are operated by manual/animal
lifting and other devices.

5.3.9 Water Distribution Devices:

There has been improvement in water use efficiency and decline in wastage of water
through use of improved water distribution devices over the years. As reflected in 6th MI
census, the percentage share of MI schemes which distribute water through open unlined/
kutcha and open lined/ pucca water channels are 22.65% and 4.62% respectively. The
percentage share of schemes which distribute water through surface pipe and underground
pipe are about 54.15% and 7.45% respectively which lead to less water wastage of water
through leakage and evaporation. 3.96% used sprinkler system and 1.67% schemes used
drip irrigation for water distribution. During the 5th MI census about 45.6% schemes used
open channel which now has reduced to about 27.3% in 6 th census. The share of efficient
water distribution systems like surfaces pipe, drip and sprinklers has increased in 6 th census
when compared to the 5th Census. Share of surface pipe has recorded the highest increase
from 38.06% in 5th census to 54.15% in 6th census followed by drip (0.67% to 1.67%), and
sprinkler (3.1% to 3.96%). Share of underground pipe has decreased from 10% to 7.45%.

5.3.12 Reasons of MI schemes getting converted to temporarily not in use or

permanently not in use:

Ground Water schemes converted to temporarily not in use/ permanently not in use:

25% GW schemes are temporarily not in use due to the reason ‘less discharge of
water’ followed by 10.4% due to ‘mechanical breakdown’ and 6.5% due to ‘non-
availability of adequate fuel/power’. Reasons like ‘lack of maintenance’ and ‘non-
availability of funds’ contribute only 1.3% and 1.8% respectively whereas 55% schemes
are temporarily not in use due to other reasons.

Similarly, out of 73 GW schemes which are permanently not in use, 11 are due to
reason ‘dried up’ followed by 5 schemes due to ‘destroyed beyond repair’ and 4 schemes
due to the ‘salinity’. Reasons like ‘sea water intrusion’ and ‘industrial effluents’ are one
each whereas 51 are permanently not in use due to other reasons.

SW schemes converted to temporarily not in use/ permanently not in use:

SW schemes are temporarily not in use mainly due to the reason ‘less discharge of
water’ is 21.9%, ‘channel break down’ 1.7%, ‘storage not filled up fully’ 10.5%, ‘non
availability of adequate water’ 14.5% , mechanical breakdown’ 7.2%, saltation of
canal/storage 10.6% and ‘other reasons’ 33.6%.
 47

Similarly, out of 117 SW schemes are permanently not in use due to reasons 28
‘destroyed beyond repair’ 15 ‘dried up’, 5 ‘salinity’, 3 ‘sea water intrusion, 7 ‘availability
of major medium irrigation project’, 1 ‘ industrial effluences’ and 58 ‘other reasons’.

5.4 SCHEME WISE ANALYSIS

5.4.1 DUG WELLS:

It covers ordinary open wells of varying dimension dug or sunk from the
ground surface into water bearing stratum to extract water for irrigation purposes. These are
broadly dug-cum-bore wells now-a-days or masonry wells/ kutcha wells water from which
are lifted with the help of animals/ human. Most of such schemes are of private nature
belonging to individual cultivator. The parameter of the well ranges between 2 to 6 meters
and the depth between 8 and 15 meters. CCA of a well operated with the help of human/
animals generally varies from 1 to 2 hectares and in case of Dugcum-Bore Well it may be
as in case of a Tube Well of similar capacity and depth of bore.

As per the findings of 6th MI census, there are total of 52135 dugwells in the state
irrigating 26923 hectare of land.

Out of all dugwells, pucca dug wells have a major share of 86.24% followed by
kutcha dug wells (12%), others (1.1%) and dug-cum-bore wells (0.65%).

5.4.2 SHALLOW TUBE WELLS:

It consists of a bore hole built into ground with the purpose of tapping ground water
from porous zones. In sedimentary formations depth of a shallow tube well does not exceed
35 meters. These tube wells are either cavity tube-wells or strainer tube-wells. These are
usually drilled by percussion method using hand boring sets and sometimes percussion rigs.
Success and popularity of the scheme depends on how cheap they are. A coir structure
formed by binding coir strings over an iron frame is being used as strainer. In shallow
water table areas, bamboo frames are also used. Sometimes steel pipe casing are replaced
by pipes constructed by rapping bituminised gunny bags over the bamboo frame. These are
called bore wells, in which bore-hole is stable without a lining in the bottom portion and a
tube is inserted only in the upper zone. The shallow tube wells are generally operated for 6
to 8 hours during irrigation season and give yield of 100-200 cubic meters per day, which is
roughly 2 times that of a dug well. Their CCA may go up to 10 hectares.

There are total of 3146 shallow tube wells in the state irrigating 1291 hectare of
land. Shallow tube wells are dominantly owned by private entities (96.57%). Out of these,
97.79% shallow tube wells are owned by individual farmers and only 2.21% are owned by
group of farmers.

In the deep tube wells, which are ‘in use’ (1855), 1843 (99.35%) are functioning without
any constraints in utilisation of potential. Out of remaining 12 (0.65%) deep tube wells
having constraints in utilisation, reason of ‘less discharge of water’ is dominant (11 no.s)
and only one by ‘lack of maintenance’.

5.4.5 SURFACE FLOW SCHEMES:

These schemes use rainwater for irrigation purposes either by storing it or by

diverting it from a stream, nalah or river. Sometimes, permanent diversions are constructed
for utilising the flowing water of a stream or river. Temporary diversions are also
constructed in many areas which are usually washed away during the rainy season. The
small storage tanks are called ponds which are mostly community owned. The command
areas of such schemes are 20 hectares or less. The large storage tanks whose command
varies from 20 to 2000 hectares are generally constructed by government departments or
local bodies. These are the biggest items of surface minor irrigation works.

There are total of 8269 surface flow schemes in Kerala irrigating 75656 ha of land.
Majority of these surface flow schemes are located in Thiruvananthapuram, Malappuram,
Palakkad, Kottayam and Alappuzha. In surface flow schemes, tanks/ponds have largest
share of 49.33%.

5.4.6 Surface Lift schemes:

In regions where the topography does not permit direct flow irrigation from rivers
and streams, water has to be lifted into the irrigation channels. These works are similar to
diversion schemes, but in addition pumps are installed and pump houses constructed. These
schemes, being costly in operation, are feasible only in areas where a. gravity flow
irrigation is not possible b. there is keen demand for irrigation and cultivators are
enthusiastic, c. water is available in the streams for at least about 200 days in a year, and d.
cheap electric power is available. Installation of diesel operated pump sets for lifting water
makes the operation and maintenance cost of these schemes exorbitantly high. However,
for lifting small order of discharge by individual cultivators, portable diesel engine pump
sets are feasible as they provide greater flexibility and mobility for installation at different
points of the water source or sources. In some areas Solar Pumps are also used for lifting
water. The CCA of such schemes may go up to 20 hectares.
 85

There are total of 21852 surface lift schemes in Kerala irrigating 64171 hectares of
land. Majority of these surface lift schemes are located in Malappuram, Kasargod, Idukki,
