Abstract
Agriculture contributes to about 16.5% of India’s Gross Value Added (GVA) and provides direct and indirect employment opportunities to a large proportion of India population, nearly 70%, which more than any other sector in the country. Increasing demand for food has put stress on the sector to increase its production. This necessitates increased dependence on irrigation to meet crop water needs. However, due to decreasing water table, it is imperative to popularize water efficient technologies for irrigation. Despite progressive schemes of the government, the highly efficient micro-irrigation system has not been well adopted in Assam. This paper studies the present system in the state and correlates with the feedback received from 225 beneficiaries to develop a framework for design of an effective system. Design intervention can play a major role in designing such system.
