primary data is collected from the households of the study area, whereas secondary
data is collected from published and non-published written documents from
individuals, experts, and organization related to the irrigation and agricultural sector.
For this study Universe is the people who engaged with Shringighat Irrigation Project

directly benefitted from the SGIP. So, by the help of random sampling method choose
two wards in 60 household as sample to conduct this study.
For its betterment some suggestions are put forward like, providing proper irrigation
facility and providing with latest tools and equipments for more production. There
should be monitoring and evaluation mechanism for the resources used in particular purposive as well as getting benefit from it. Most importantly the farmers should be
provided with trainings to increase the production.
During the study time some problems were also found in the study area. Tourism
centre is also not established for the tourists. Some other problems were also seen like
absence of irrigation facility, trainings and well infrastructures are lacking in some
extent. For the promotion of the agriculture local NGO’s DDC and some other
organization are also working but the effort is not so enough. So, I think that my
thesis work will also support to some extent for the agriculture development. A set of
recommendations, conclusion and suggestion have been made at the end of study.
