SCADA (Sone Command Area Development Agency) is an autonomous body constituted under Bihar Agricultural and Rural Development Agency and the power of acquiring, maintaining, setting and disposing property has been vested in it. The main aim of the agency is to increase the Agricultural productivity in the Command area of Sone and North Koel Canal Systems by optimum use of water available. These three formats can be displayed on the screen simultaneously in separate windows, which are dynamically linked. The basic objective here is to monitor the source of water, beneficiaries details, the Distributaries, the location of off-take chambers, the passage of channel, the cattle crossings, the field outlets, the cost of each VIC, connectivity among divisional headquarter to head quarter etc. and many more. The project benefits SCADA immensely as it can now see the status of each VIC instantly with geographical layout. VIC Scheme is a plan of SCADA to construct village irrigation channel in a village to irrigate the cultivable land properly from the canal of Sone river
