At the same time same numbers of research questions are framed to make the analysis fruitful. After a marathon analysis researchers found that: The implemented watershed programme develops the socio-economic status of the people in that area in the same time the particular intervention develops the employment scenario significantly of the area. This watershed programme also helps to reduce the skilled labour migration as well as the migration of the general tribal people migration to the urban city area.
