Case Study : Indira Gandhi Canal (Nahar) Command Area

Indira Gandhi Canal, previously known as the Rajasthan Canal, is one
of the largest canal systems in India. Conceived by Kanwar Sain in 1948,
the canal project was launched on 31 March, 1958. The canal originates at
Harike barrage in Punjab and runs parallel to Pakistan border at an
average distance of 40 km in Thar Desert (Marusthali) of Rajasthan. The
total planned length of the system is 9,060 km catering to the irrigation
needs of a total culturable command area of 19 63 lakh hectares. Out of the
total command area, about 70 percent was envisaged to be irrigated by
flow system and the rest by lift system. The construction work of the canal
system has been carried out through two stages. The command area of
Stage-I lies in Ganganagar, Hanumangarh and northern part of Bikaner

 districts. It has a gently undulating topography and its culturable
command area is 5 53 lakh hectares. The command area of Stage-II is
spread over Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jodhpur, Nagaur and Churu
districts covering culturable command area of 14 10 lakh ha. It comprises
desert land dotted with shifting sand dunes and temperature soaring to
50 C in summers. In the lift canal, the water is lifted up to make it to flow
against the slope of the land. All the lift canals of Indira Gandhi system
originate at the left bank of main canal while all the canals on the right
bank of main canal are flow channels.
Irrigation in Stage-I command area of the canal was introduced in
early 1960s, whereas the command area of Stage-II began receiving
irrigation in mid-1980s. The introduction of canal irrigation in this dry
land has transformed its ecology, economy and society. It has influenced
the environmental conditions of the region both positively as well as
negatively. The availability of soil moisture for a longer period of time and
various afforestation and pasture development programmes under CAD
have resulted in greening the land. This has also helped in reducing wind
erosion and siltation of canal systems. But the intensive irrigation and
excessive use of water has led to the emergence of twin environmental
problems of waterlogging and soil salinity.

15. What was the main objective to construct of Indira Gandhi Canal ?
(a) Proving water for irrigation in the command area
(b) Providing water for drinking purpose
(c) Providing water for afforestation
(d) Providing water for industries

16. What is the major benefit of this Canal in the command area ?
(a) Transformation of ecology and economy
(b) Environmental conditions slightly changed
(c) People had not settled permanently
(d) Crop production is still at lower level
17. What is the negative impact of this Canal ?
(a) Soils become fertile
(b) Water logging and salinity
(c) Multiple cropping system
(d) Command area becomes green

Case Study : A Role Model to Restore the Ecology and Safeguard
Human Health in Daurala

and safeg
place in Daurala near Meerut. These efforts are now bearing fruits after a
span of three years when a Meerut based NGO had developed a model for
ecological restoration. The meeting of the Daurala industries officials,
NGOs, Government officials and other stakeholders at Meerut has brought
out results. The powerful logics, authentic studies and the pressure of
people have brought a new lease of life to the twelve thousand residents of
this village. It was in the year 2003 that the pitiable condition of
Dauralaites drew the attention of the civil society. The groundwater of this
village was contaminated with heavy metals. The reason was that the
untreated wastewater of Daurala industries was leaching to the
groundwater table. The NGOs conducted a door-to-door survey of the
health status of the residents and came out with a report. The

together to find out sustainable solutions to the health problem. The

industrialists showed a keen interest towards checking the deteriorating

and a 900 m extra pipeline was laid to supply potable water to the
community. The silted pond of the village was cleaned and recharged by
desilting it. Large quantity of silt was removed paving way to large
quantity of water so that it recharged the aquifers, Rainwater harvesting
structures have been constructed at different places which has helped in
diluting the contaminants of the groundwater after the monsoon. 1000
trees have also been planted which have improved the environment.

which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession.
To avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and
understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.

2
“Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect
the life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to

invite action under various rules of the Board and IPC.”

3
Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not
be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while
evaluating, answers which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are
innovative, they may be assessed for their correctness otherwise no marks be
awarded to them. In class-X, while evaluating two competency-based questions,
please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not from marking scheme
but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks should be
awarded.

4
The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The
students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks
should be awarded accordingly.

5
The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each
evaluator on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the
instructions given in the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be
zero after delibration and discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation
shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of
individual evaluators.

64/3/2 1 P.T.O.
6
Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.

7
If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

8
If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

9

Question Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer
deserves it.

12
Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the
reduced syllabus and number of questions in question paper.

● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark

64/3/2 2
 is correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.

14
While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should
be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.

15
Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all
concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and
judiciously.

16
The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines
for spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
