The Methodology followed is provided below-
1. Scoping of the mid-term assessment was carried out. The resources needed to conduct the assessment were
finalized. The Baseline impact indicators that were proposed in Project report were reviewed and finalized.
2. Team of experts set up, along with support taken from Management interns from leading Indian Business schools.
3. Brainstorming was done on possible methodologies of conducting survey and impact assessment.
4. Sample selection done using the Systematic Sampling technique, with every 10th sample taken from a random list of
beneficiaries from all the villages in the project area.
5. A questionnaire prepared for conducted field surveys to get access to qualitative and quantitative data that can help
access the change in impact indicators.
6. Questionnaire was reviewed by expert committee and underwent a field test.
7. Inputs gathered from the field tests, and questionnaire was then refined further. Final draft prepared.
8. Field agents conduct one to one interview as well as gather inputs using the questionnaire as a baseline. Utmost
care was taken to be sensitive in carrying interviews, in order to make the responders feel safe in sharing data, thus
ensuring that the data shared by them is accurate.
9. Data gathered is then collated and populated in analysis tools like Excel, to enable further analysis.
10. Analysis team then do the Data cleaning done to ensure unnecessary or erroneous data portions are removed. The
data is then analyzed by a team of Subject experts for drawing insights and assessing the impact of the project.
11. Impact assessment report is prepared in line with the findings.
12. Final set of recommendations given as part of the report for the second half of the project term.
After the sampling was done, the nominal data was compiled into excel and the same was being used as the primary
source to refer to form headings.
The following unit of measures were widely prominent across the industry:
• Quintal
• Beegha
• Tonne
The following are the conversion rate to expressed in terms of all stakeholders to understand:

After identifying the conversion rates for the SI units, I cleaned the data. The following steps were made:
1. Converted Boolean nominal data to bits, namely 0 to 1.
2. Organising data into one row for each corresponding farmer so that excel formulas and graphs could be feasible.
3. Demerged column head cells and numbered the columns to easily index and identify the questions.
On getting done with the data cleaning, the following excel was achieved.
OUTCOMES AND IMPACTS
The data was worked upon and insights were generated through MS Excel and Tableau.
The above graph is made on Tableau and justifies how the saplings provided by the organisation have impacted the
farmers income. The data is Year on Year, and the fruit saplings, namely Guava and Lemon are provided to the farmers
in 20 & 30 in numbers respectively.
The graph below depicts the share of guava and lemon fruits as compared to the other crops grown by the farmers.
The other crops can include intercrops and forestry plants which the farmers are introduced to with the Wasteland Area
Development Initiative.
1. The graph shown below highlights the YoY income rise and its corelation with the increase in cultivable land over the
WADI implementation period. The graphs also shows that farmers, not just with more land area, even with smaller land
area have been able to benefit from the implementation.
