This study was undertaken to establish the bench-mark conditions relating to the socioeconomic aspects of the Kirindi Oya Project area to enable future comparisons which will indicate the effects and impacts of the project. As a basis for this exercise a sample of 650 households stratified to capture the differing conditions in the irrigated and unirrigated areas was selected at random studies. A study of this nature does not usually allow many policy implications to be drawn. However, in its course two areas where policy needs to be redefined have become evident. One pertains to the need and nature of non-formal educational programmes aimed towards reaping the greatest benefits from the project in the spheres of health, nutrition and agriculture. The other is to develop fresh policies under the project to enable substantial improvements in the quality of the infrastructural services as well as the services intended to raise agricultural production
