This paper discusses some of the factors that are not well dealt with by the decision-makers, planners and designers at various stages of proposed small holder irrigation development. After a reasonably successful take- off period, schemes often do fail. This failure is evidenced, among other things, by diminishing returns, declining yields per unit area, lack of interest by the farmers and their continual indebtedness. Such failures are usually directly attributed to the farmers, yet often part of the truth is an overall lack of viability of the project design itself. Failures may be minimized by the improvement of project designs to place the irrigation activities into the hands of the farmer. This calls for a development philosophy which is more farming than commodity oriented. Since farmer participation defines, initiates and effects the project, it provides a significant basis for project.

The economic history of most riverine and swampy communities does seem to suggest that perennial crop production is very much entrenched in their social economic fabric. But its potential has largely been underestimated. Thus,the introduction of irrigation technology tends to be seen as a new way of crop production. As such, intervention measures initially tend to be designed as pilot projects, so as to generate enough experience and knowledge before their widespread diffusion. However, experience with most community-oriented pilot projects seem to show that if the interventions are not based on the intended beneficiaries' own past experiences, the introduction of new technology tends to exacerbate the production risk of the participants. From the experiences in Gwembe Valley, Zambia, it is argued that irrigation interventions in the small holder farming sector have to be geared to the strengthening of the existing production virtues, as well as the weakening and elimination of the risks.

An overview is presented of the management and policy problems of forests, pastures and wastelands of India. The causes of low productivity are diagnosed, and some possible courses of action examined. The potential productivity of India's uncultivated rural lands is high, and there are excellent opportunities for increasing actual productivity and having the benefits accrue to the rural poor.
