Government of India is implementing a Scheme namely
“Scaling up of water productivity in agriculture for livelihood through
teaching-cum-demonstration, training of trainers and farmers” by Indian
Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in 32 centres (27 State
Agricultural Universities (SAUs) and 5 ICAR Institutes) on issues/themes
addressing location specific problems and needs to enhance water
productivity in agriculture. These themes include rainwater management

rain water harvesting, multiple use and management of harvested water,
water management in paddy crops, water management in non-paddy crops,
water management in horticultural crops, crop diversification, cropping
