The belongings of comprehensive attacks in erosion control, increasing water approachability, developing agroforestry, directing natural resources sustainably, increasing land productivity, and sending the socioeconomic needs of farmers were investigated. The impacts of big watershed happening programmes have been outlined in agreements of biophysical impacts, environmental impacts, socio-business-related impacts and overall economic impacts. It is indicated that the watershed development exercises have made important positive impacts on various biophysical facets such as soil and water preservation, soil fertility, soil and water erosion in cut area, changes in cutting pattern, cropping force, production and productivity of crops. The study was administered in South Pennaiyar catchment in Dharmapuri, Salem, Villupuram, Vellore, Thiruvannamalai districts of Tamil Nadu for three age during 2012-14. By employing layered random sampling system 15 study watersheds (SWS) were selected and the benchmark dossier collected for one PIA at the time of project planning were secondhand for the study and analyzed through calculating techniques or appropriate enumerations. The evaluation study reveals that 8 to 10 portion reduction of drainage. Soil loss also weakened in the range of 1.1 to 1.9 t ha-1yr-1. Gully control structures fashioned their impacts in terms of arresting silts at the rate of about 10.1 cum yr-1 in individual watershed and maintained the gullies. Increased water table in the range of 0.32 and 0.93 m accompanying increased duration of water chance in wells for more than 9 months and raised recuperation rate (1.8 to 6.5 per cent) were noticed. An additional surface depository capacity of 26.4 ha - m per watershed was forged due to container or area where water is held interventions. The Net Present value of the project is about Rs. 52,238 lakhs despite everything intangible benefits. The financial soundness of the project is likewise amply indicated by BCR (1.65:1) and IRR (53%) and all investment fashioned in the project can be recovered inside seven years. The NPV of the project further upgraded by inclusion of monetary advantage of the nutrient on account of reduced soil erosion. The worth of NPV was more than Rs. 63,968 Lakhs accompanying 1.72 BCR and 65.5 % IRR. It is advised that penal institution valley project in Tamil Nadu's South Pennaiyar catchment be given preference in order to advance sustainable agricultural progress in the river and accumulation catchments.The evaluation study conclude that aforementioned projects should naive the catchments of reservoirs on priority in a more intense and coordinated manner accompanying active partnership of local community, guided by mechanics requirement alternatively the rigid government averages along with mechanics back stopping mechanism and removal strategy.
