The Govt. of Orissa has realized the condition and taken revolutionary steps for agricultural development through formation of Water Users Association. We have undertaken work for formation of Water Users Association in Kanas Block of Puri District and Baranga Block of Cuttack District. We have spent Rs.2450/- for promotion of agriculture, vegitation, pc culture, seeding and nursery. We have received assistance from DFID and other organizations through Verve Consultancy, Hasha Trust, WEB Consultancy and beneficiaries for welfare of Water Users Associations . We have formed 61 Water Users Association in Kanas block and 11 Water Users Association in Barang Block and 17 Water Users Association in Niali Block. We think this will serve interest of people in field of Agriculture. In the mean time our achievement has been appreciated by different corners.
