Implementation

The Gonda Gramodaya Project, a project of the Gonda Gramodaya Prakalp Research Institute (Uttar Pradesh, India), was able to construct 30,000 tube-wells in two years with the assistance of Peoples' Action for Development in India (PADI). Out of a total of 2,814 villages, 2,008 were covered by this minor irrigation and development programme. Diesel or electrical pumpsets were installed on the tube-wells. The invention of a bullock-driven pump by a staff member was one of the highlights of this project. The increase in crop yield as a result of irrigation was 35 percent.
