PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF NABARD'S MINOR AND MAJOR IRRITATION SCHEME IN THE STATE OF GOA.

It is said that India lives in villages and if India has to flourish, rural India must come on the path of development
with focus on agriculture and infrastructural facilities. Agriculture has remained the main occupation of the
Indian villages since ages. India has a very long history in agriculture since the Vedic period. Agriculture
without irrigation is mere impossible. Hence to bring the primary sector to its highest level of potential areas
must be irrigated at the larger scale. NABARD has one of its function dedicated to bring areas under irrigation
under its minor and major irrigation scheme through Rural Infrastructure Development Fund under its financial
function. This study is confined to evaluate the performance of minor and major irrigation scheme and the
satisfaction of the farmers towards it.
