INTRODUCTION
Performance is a measure of the well-being of any system, and Irrigation is no exception. In a forthright review of the Indian Irrigation Sector in 1991, the World Bank cautioned that “India will be critically dependent on better performance from Irrigation, the Review identified four areas requiring a major effort : (i) Forging a Coherent Water Policy, (ii) Prioritizing Investment and getting Control of Expenditure, (iii) Improving Productivity and ensuring sustainability and (iv) Building Critical Capacity within the Public and Private Sector in order to manage the sector more efficiently and effectively”.
Further, the National Water Policy 2002 stresses that “there is an urgent need of paradigm shift in the emphasis in the management of Water Resources Sector. From the present emphasis on the creation and expansion of Water Resources Infrastructures for diverse uses, there is now a need to give greater emphasis on the improvement of the performance of the existing Water Resources facilities. Therefore, allocation of funds under the Water Resources Sector should be re-prioritized to ensure that the needs for development as well as operation and maintenance of the facilities are met”.
Performance Improvement needs a strategy to focus on crucial action areas.
