HEIS ADOPTION CHALLENGES

HEIS is new technology in Pakistan

Involves complete paradigm shift to move from

inexact to exact agricultural practices

High initial cost of HEIS equipment

Inadequate (negligible) capacity of SSCs in terms of

manpower and inventory to cater even whatever

demand is available

Lack of technical knowhow amongst all

stakeholders

Escalating operating expenses due to energy

shortages and costs

COMPONENTS C1 & D3 ENVISAGED ACTIVITIES

Awareness Creation

HEIS INSTALLATION AND EXPENDITURE TREND

DURING LAST THREE YEARS

Technology was introduced in early 70’s with minimal uptake

during initial years

It took 15 years (1970 to 1985) to reach to only 1,500 hectares

(3,700 acres)

It started picking up afterwards and area under Micro Irrigationhas increased to more than 2 million hectares (5 million acres)

There were continued Central & State Governments’ sponsored

subsidy/promotional programs along with support from

research institutions, electricity utilities and many NGOs etc.

The Indian government still subsidizes (up to 90% in some

States) for HEIS promotion.

Adoption of HEIS in Pakistan would follow the same patterns

STATUS OF AGREED ACTIONS

SR. # ACTION REQUIRED CURRENT STATUS

1 Deputy Director Finance

is to be recruited by

December 31, 2013.

Completed

2 Reduction of

District/Tehsil Level staff

in particular the number

of Rodman (1,009) and

Water Management

Supervisors (556) has to

be reduce for which

DGAWM would provide

a plan by December 31,

2013 for a planned

phased reduction of the

staff along with a

timetable for approval

of the Planning and

Development

Department.

The project staff has been deployed as per PC-I

provisions after approval of competent

authority/Chief Minster, Punjab. Moreover,

district/tehsil level staff, particularly Water

Management Supervisors (WMS) and Rodmen have

been assigned to achieve the envisaged project

targets including installation of HEIS and

improvement of watercourses/irrigation schemes. The

pace of watercourse improvement and provision of

LASER units is faster than the planned. As such, the

entire project staff is not under work.

It is indicated that 221 personnel including 83 WMS &

27 Rodmen have already either resigned or their

services have been terminated during last two years,

out of total 2,141 approved in the PC-1. Secretary

Agriculture has, however, constituted a committee to

thrash the issue and make recommendations for

consideration by the competent forum.

Cont..


3 The procurement of remaining 64

vehicles needed for the Project

would be completed by not later

than March 31, 2013.

Under Process: Procurement of 21vehicles has been completed while

process is underway for remaining

vehicles

4 Laser leveling units has very high

demand so 3,000 units would be

delivered as quickly as possible

according to the timetable agreed in

Table 1. The number of units to be

provided under the project would be

increased, additional 4,000 units will

be provided under the project.

The proposal of the World Bank to

increase the number of LASER units to be

provided to farmers/ service providers

under PIPIP would be considered after

completing the current targets of 3,000

LASER units.

5 Remaining GoPunjab owned laser

units (about 122) would be

dis-invested by March 31, 2013.

The action is fully complied in its intent

and spirit as operation of LASER units on

subsidized rates has been stopped as

agreed. Disinvestment of 157

government owned LASER units has been

completed and efforts are being made

for disposal/auction of remaining 59 units

as early as possible.

STATUS OF AGREED ACTIONSCont..


6 Overall a target of 50% of the

watercourse improved using the precast

concrete long parabolic sections to

improve watercourses instead of bricks

should be achieved.

Use of precast parabolic segments

(PCPS) is being given due focus for

improving requisite watercourses

with this lining alternative. During

2013-14, 148 such watercourses

have been improved and works are

under process for improvement of

299 watercourses with precast

concrete parabolic lining.

7 Implementation of Component C needs

to be expedited and work on all of its

activities in addition to professional and

technical training needs to be started as

soon as possible. This also requires

designation of coordinators for each set

of activities and overall coordinator for

the component. It was agreed that an

international consultant would be

recruited to upgrade the

implementation plan for this

component.

Strenuous efforts have been made

to accelerate the adoption of HEIS

technology. The same involves

awareness creation and capacity

building of all project stakeholders

including OFWM, SSCs, &

Consultants staff and farmers

through specialized training courses

and field demonstrations along with

research and development

activities for indigenization of the

technology.

STATUS OF AGREED ACTIONS Cont..


8 Consultancy contract for M&E and

supervision of SMP and EMP would be

sent to the Bank by December 20, 2013

and signed by December 31, 2013.

Completed.

9 The disbursements for component A

and B would be based on the units

rates in USD instead of Pakistan Rupees;

The project can also include the less

claimed amount because of use of PKR

unit rates in the interim financial report

for December 2013 quarter.

Completed.

10 The Units rates would be revised next

June 2014 for which DGAWM and the

PISCs should begin to gather

information.

The process for the revision of unit

rates has been initiated.

11 Quarterly Progress report should be

shared with Bank on a regular

basis.

Quarterly progress reports are

being sent to the World Bank

on a regular basis.
