In the earlier phases, the soil and water conservation programme were mainly confined to
technology improvement of agriculture lands and contour bunding was the principal of soil and
water conservation. Through adoption of better methods and technology may be cropping patterns
and diversification of sources of income improvement sustainable. The main focus of such
