This paper covers the evaluation of the Pochampad Irrigation Project located near the Godavari River in Nizambad District in the state of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. The evaluation was carried out by the Programme Evaluation Organization (PEO) in the Planning Commission. The objectives of the evaluation were to study: (1) the financial aid mechanisms including organization and management; (2) cost and time over-runs in completion of works; (3) irrigation potential and its utilization; (4) the agricultural support program; and (5) the impact of the project. A survey approach was followed, collecting information from both functionaries and beneficiaries. Findings indicate that there was no time lag in disbursement of loans. However, cost over-runs and time over-runs were considerable. Maintenance of the water distribution system was found to be seriously neglected. This, coupled with inadequate capacity of key outlets resulted in uneven distribution of water throughout the command area. Finally, the economic rate of return from the investment was found to be lower than that foreseen by the project authorities.
