ABOUT THE MINISTRY
ABOUT THE MINISTRY
HISTORY
The Government of Indias first major intervention in the rural drinking water sector, started in 1972-73,
through the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWS). A Technology Mission on Drinking Water
was started in 1986, which in 1991-92, was renamed the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission.
Upgrading the Mission, the Department of Drinking water Supply (DDWS) was created in the Ministry
of Rural Development in 1999, which was subsequently renamed as the Department of Drinking Water
and Sanitation in 2010. Keeping in view the significance of rural water supply and sanitation, the
Government of India created and notified the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation as a separate
Ministry on 13th July, 2011.
Vision
Safe and adequate drinking water for all, at all times in rural India and to transform rural India into
Nirmal Bharat by adopting community saturation approach.
Goal
To provide every rural person with adequate safe water for drinking, cooking and other domestic basic
needs on a sustainable basis. This basic requirement should meet water quality standards and be readily
and conveniently accessible at all times and in all situations. Similary, the goal under Nirman Bharat
Abhiyan is to achieve safe sanitation for 50% rural households by 2017 and to all rural households by
2022.
Objectives
a) Enable all households to have access to and use safe & adequate drinking water and within a
reasonable distance.
b) Enable communities to monitor and keep surveillance on their drinking water sources.
c) Ensure potability, reliability, sustainability, convenience, equality and consumers preference with
regard to drinking water supply. These are to be the guiding principles while planning for a
community based water supply system.
d) Provide drinking water facility, especially piped water supply, to Gram Panchayats that have
achieved open-defecation-free status on priority basis.
e) Ensure all government schools and anganwadis to have access to safe drinking water.
f) Provide support and environment for panchayat raj institutions and local communities to manage
their own drinking water sources and systems in their villages.
g) Provide access to information through an online reporting mechanism with information placed
in public domain to bring transparency and informed decision making.
h) Cover SC/ST, Physically handicapped, small and marginal farmers and women headed households
with sanitation facilities in each habitation.
i) Follow Conjoint approach of Sanitation and water supply which would progressively lead to
Nirmal Blocks, Nirmal Districts and eventually Nirmal States and ensure running water availability
to all Government School toilets.
j) Develop child friendly toilets in Anganwadis.
k) Massive training campaign to ensure use and Operation & Maintenance of toilets.
l) Take up Solid and Liquid waste management in Nirmal Grams.
Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plans for drinking water supply and sanitation in rural areas have the following timeline:
By Year 2017
(a) Drinking Water Facilities

To ensure that
at least 50% of rural households are provided with piped water supply;
at least 35% of rural households have piped water supply with a household connection; less
than 20% use public taps and less than 45% use hand pumps or other safe and adequate private
water sources.
all services meet set standards in terms of quality and number of hours of supply every day.
(b) Rural Sanitation facilities

To ensure that 50% of the Gram Panchayats attain the Status of Nirmal Gram (i.e. ODF status).
By Year 2022
(a) Drinking water Facilities

To ensure that
4
at least 80% of r ural households have piped water supply with a household connection; less
than 10% use public taps and less than 10% use hand pumps or other safe and adequate private
water sources.
(a) Rural sanitation facilities

Provide 100% access to sanitation for all rural households.

Scaling up of sector reform initiated in the form of Swajaldhara programme.

The National Water Policy revised; priority given to serving villages that did not have adequate sources
of safe water and to improve the level of service for villages classified as only partially covered.
India commits to the Millennium Development Goals to halve the proportion of people without
sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015, from 1990 levels.
2005
The Government of India launches the Bharat Nirman Program, with emphasis on providing drinking
water within a period of five years to 55,069 uncovered habitations, habitations affected by poor water
quality and slipped back habitations based on 2003 survey. Revised sub Mission launched as component

Current Status
The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation is the nodal Ministry for the overall policy, planning,
funding and coordination of the flagship programmes of the Government for rural drinking water viz.
the National Rural Drinking Water Programme and for Sanitation, the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan in the
country. There are three programme divisions namely Water, Water Quality and Sanitation to carry out
the functions of the Ministry.
For the Eleventh Five Year Plan, it had been decided that the major issues which need tackling during
this period are problems of sustainability, water availability and supply, poor water quality, centralized
versus decentralized approaches and financing of O&M, cost on equitable basis with full consideration
to ensure equality in regard to gender, socially and economically weaker sections of the society, school
children, socially vulnerable groups such as pregnant and lactating mothers, specially disabled and senior
citizens etc. For the Twelfth Plan period the Working Group on Domestic Water and Sanitation has
recommended amongst others the following initiatives (i) the need to increase drinking water supply
service levels in rural areas from 40 lpcd (litres per capita per day) to 55 lpcd; (ii) focus on piped water
supply and (iii) conjoint approach on drinking water supply and sanitation.
Funding in rural water supply

The allocation of funds by the Central and State Governments for Rural Drinking Water Supply since
the First Five Year plan is shown in the following table and graph

Coverage of Habitations in Terms of Drinking Water Supply

The current status of provision of drinking water in rural areas as measured by the percentage of rural
habitations where the population is fully covered with adequate (40 lpcd) and safe drinking water, as per
information entered by States on the online Integrated Monitoring Information System (IMIS) of the
Ministry, is about 69% of total rural habitations. The rest are either partially covered or have drinking
water sources contaminated with chemical contamination.

There are large inter-State variations in the coverage of households with piped water supply. As
per the above chart, the percentage of piped water supply varies from 2.6% in Bihar to 95.20% in
Chandigarh. There are 6 States, viz. Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Madhya
Pradesh that have less than 10% coverage of households with piped water supply. Special efforts are
being initiated during the 12th Five Year plan to raise their coverage with piped water supply.
as per 2011 census
NSSO 69th Round Reports (July 2012 December 2012) - NSS KI (69/1.2)
88.5% of the households have access to improved source of drinking water.
85.8% of the households have access to sufficient drinking water throughout the year.
46.1% of rural households have drinking water within the premises, 40.9% have to travel up to 200
metres to fetch drinking water and around 9.3% have to travel 200 to 500 metres to reach principal
source of drinking water.
87.7% of rural households are getting good quality of drinking water.
86.0% of the households are getting sufficient water throughout the year for all household activities.
Physical performance in 12th Five Year Plan

As against the target of 4,34,664 rural
habitations for coverage during the 12th
Five Year Plan, the coverage achieved is
2,84,055. However, due to slippage of fully
covered habitations to partially covered
habitations in the year 2012-13, the target
of habitations to be covered has increased as
well as new habitations have been marked on
the online IMIS by the States. Some States
have exceeded their targets, whereas Sikkim,
Punjab and Mizoram have reported low
achievement (less than 50%) against targets.
State wise details are at Annexure-I & II.

RURAL DRINKING
WATER PROGRAMME
RURAL DRINKING WATER PROGRAMME
Rural drinking water supply is a State subject and is also included in the Eleventh Schedule of the
Constitution amongst the subjects that may be entrusted to Panchayats by the States. Thus the participation
of the Panchayat Raj Institutions in the rural drinking water supply sector is an important area of focus.
Government of Indias major intervention in water sector started in 1972-73 through the Accelerated Rural
Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) for assisting States/UTs to accelerate the coverage of drinking water
supply in problem villages. A Technology Mission with stress on water quality, appropriate technology
intervention, human resource development support and other related activities was introduced in 1986
which was subsequently renamed as the Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM) in 1991.
In 1999-2000, Sector Reform Projects was started to involve the community in planning, implementation
and management of drinking water schemes which was in 2002 scaled up as the Swajaldhara Programme.
The programme was revised from 01.04.2009 and named the National Rural Drinking Water Programme
(NRDWP).
2.1 NATIONAL RURAL DRINKING WATER PROGRAMME (NRDWP)

The National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme aimed
at providing adequate and safe drinking water to the rural population of the country. The NRDWP is
a component of Bharat Nirman which focuses on the creation of rural infrastructure. This has resulted
in the provision of significant additional resources to the sector and for creating an environment for
the development of infrastructure and capacities for the successful operation of drinking water supply
schemes in rural areas.
Bharat Nirman
Bharat Nirman was launched by the Government of India in 2005 as a programme to build rural
infrastructure. While Phase-I of the programme was implemented in the period 2005-06 to 2008-09, the
Phase-II was implemented from 2009-10 to 2011-12. Rural drinking water is one of the six components
of Bharat Nirman. Funds provided under the NRDWP are counted towards the Bharat Nirman also and
no additional funds are provided under Bharat Nirman.
At the beginning of the Bharat Nirman Phase-I period, 55,067 uncovered habitations and about 3.31
lakh slipped back habitations were to be covered with provision of drinking water facilities and 2.17
lakh quality affected habitations were to be addressed for water quality problem. While prioritizing the
coverage of the water quality problem, arsenic and fluoride affected habitations have been accorded priority
followed by iron, salinity, nitrate and other contaminants. To ensure that habitations once provided with
drinking water supply infrastructure do not slip back and face drinking water problem, sustainability of
drinking water sources and systems has been accorded high priority. To achieve drinking water security
at village/ habitation level, conjunctive use of water i.e. judicious use of rainwater, surface water and
ground water has been promoted.

Uncovered Habitations: Against 55,067 uncovered habitations to be covered during the Bharat
Nirman period, 54,440 habitations were covered during Phase-I. During Bharat Nirman Phase-II,
627 habitations have been reported as covered up to 31.03.2011. Thus all uncovered habitations
that existed in the beginning of 2005 are now covered.
ii)
Slipped Back/Partially Covered Habitations: In Phase I (2005-06 to 2008-09), 3.58 lakh slipped
back habitations were reported as covered by the States.
iii) Quality-Affected Habitations:

As reported by the States, 2,17,000 quality affected habitations were addressed by sanctioned projects
and out of these 50,168 habitations have been fully covered with completed projects to provide safe
water supply during Phase-I. As on 1.4.2009, at the beginning of Bharat Nirman phase-II, States
reported that 1,79,999 quality affected habitations were remaining to be covered. Of these, during
Bharat Nirman (phase-II), 81,357 habitations have been reported as covered. Thus, in all during
Bharat Nirman (Phases-I and II), 1,31,525 quality affected habitations have been fully covered
with completed schemes. In the 12th Five year plan period beginning from 2012-13 onwards, as on
31.03.2014, 33328 quality affected habitations have been covered.
2.1.1 New Initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan

A project for the installation of Solar powered dual pump based piped water supply schemes in
10,000 habitations of 82 Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts with funding from NRDWP and
the National Clean Energy Fund is under implementation.
16
In order to raise coverage of piped water supply, toilet coverage and strengthening of institutions
and systems in rural drinking water and rural sanitation sectors, the Ministry has proposed a
Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project for Low Income States of Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand
and Uttar Pradesh at an estimated cost of more than Rs. 5400 crore for World Bank assistance
of 50% of the project cost.
A Pilot project on taking up Drinking Water Security Planning through Integrated Water Resource
Management and source sustainability measures on a participative basis has been taken up in
15 over-exploited Blocks of the country.
Focus on piped water supply rather than on hand pumps, so as to decrease the pressure on
ground water extraction and also ensure potability of water;
Enhancement of service levels for rural water supply from the norm of 40 lpcd to 55 lpcd for
designing of systems;
Greater thrust on coverage of water quality affected habitations with earmarked funding for
chemical contamination and Japanese Encephalitis / Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE / AES)
affected areas;
Moving towards the target that, by 2017, at least 50 per cent of rural population in the country
have access to 55 lpcd within their household premises or within 100 metres radius, with at
least 30 per cent having individual household connections, as against 13 per cent today;
Incentivize substantive devolution of functions, funds and functionaries to the Gram Panchayats
with respect to rural water supply schemes, through a Management Devolution Index (MDI)
with clear and specific indicators on the basis of which distribution amongst States of 10% of
National allocation would be decided;
All new drinking water supply schemes to be designed, estimated and implemented to take into
account life cycle costs and not just per capita costs;
Waste water treatment and recycling to be an integral part of every water supply plan or project;
bringing the concept of Renovation and Modernization (R & M) into the planning process;
Participative planning and implementation of integrated water resource management practices
through water budgeting and both supply side and demand side planning;
Earmarking of funds for coverage of SC and ST population concentrated habitations;
Incentive to ASHA workers for encouraging households to take household connections;

2.1.6 Strategic Plan 2011-2022: Rural Drinking Water Supply

The Strategic Plan 2011-2022 has the following goals:
By 2017:
Ensure that
than 20% use public taps and less than 45% use hand pumps or other safe and adequate
private water sources.
All services meet set standards in terms of quality and number of hours of supply every day.
all households, schools and anganwadis in rural India have access to and use adequate
quantity of safe drinking water.
Provide enabling support and environment for Pancwhayat Raj Institutions and local communities
to manage at least 60% of rural drinking water sources and systems.
By 2022:
Ensure that
than 10% use public taps and less than 10% use hand pumps or other safe and adequate
private water sources.
Provide enabling support and environment for all Panchayat Raj Institutions and local
communities to manage 100% of rural drinking water sources and systems.
The Ministrys goal is to assist the States in meeting the rising expectations of the rural people for better
service delivery standards in rural drinking water supply as shown in the Water Ladder below.
21
2.1.7 Annual Action Plans (AAPs): Planning for 2014-15

From the year 2010-11, the State-wise discussions on the Annual Action Plan (AAP) with each State were
carried out. In this process, States prepared their AAPs, detailing the activities in the rural drinking water
sector that they proposed to take up during the year, and the financial costs that these proposals would
entail. Detailed discussions on the State AAPs for 2013-14 were held in the months of March and April
2013 between representatives of the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation, Government of India and
the State government officials. From the year 2012-13 onwards, the Online formats for Annual Action
Plan got full flourished and was widely accepted by the States/UTs. This has resulted in decentralized
outlook to the Annual Plans from the States. Subsequent to the discussions, modifications were suggested
in the AAPs and action points identified. States were released funds under NRDWP, after their AAP
was finally prepared and the target habitations marked on the online IMIS. It was on the basis of this
AAP that the States carried out the activities under NRDWP during the year. The entire procedure of
preparing, discussing and implementation of the AAPs for the NRDWP, provided a framework for proper
targeting and monitoring of the funds being provided by the Government of India. The AAP along with
online reporting of works carried out by the States in the Integrated Management Information System
of the Ministry, has significantly strengthened the effectiveness of the NRDWP in achieving the goal of
providing safe drinking water for all the rural areas of the country.
2.1.8 Planning for Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP), Tribal Sub Plan (TSP), Left Wing
Extremist (LWE) Affected and Minority Concentrated Districts (MCDs)
Provision for SCs and STs
The NRDWP has special provisions to ensure
coverage of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled
Tribe population with potable water supply. In
the criteria for fund allocation to States under
the NRDWP, the rural SC and ST population
of the State has a weightage of 10%. Thus States
with higher SC and ST population get a higher
allocation of NRDWP funds.
To ensure that adequate funds are utilized by
the States in SC and ST concentrated areas, for
the year 2013-14, Rs. 2134 crore (22% of total
allocation of Rs. 9700 crore) is earmarked for
expenditure for SCs and Rs. 970 crore (10% of
total allocation of Rs. 9700 crore) is earmarked for expenditure for STs. Out of this, as on 12.02.2014,
Rs. 2523.44 crore have been released to States for coverage of SC and ST populations.
The progress in the coverage of SC and ST concentrated habitations is being monitored through the
Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry. Improvements have been made for
this in the Ministrys website and in the online monitoring system for capturing of achievement data in
this respect.
22
As on 1.4.2013, out of the total 2, 84,898 SC

concentrated habitations in the country, 2,
01,572 habitations are Fully Covered, 72,352 are
Partially Covered and 10,974 are Quality affected.
In 2013-14, 22,053 SC concentrated habitations
were targeted for coverage and as on 31.03.2014,
16,925 habitations were covered with potable
drinking water supply.
Out of the total 3, 66,485 ST concentrated habitations, 12,227 are Fully Covered, 1, 04,709 are Partially
Covered and 16,197 are quality affected. In 2013-14, 29709 ST concentrated habitations were targeted
for coverage and as on 31.03.2014, 30,627 habitations have been covered.
Provision for Minorities

While there is no earmarking of NRDWP funds for expenditure in minority concentrated districts,
attention is given to coverage of such habitations in the planning process.
Out of the total 2, 28,129 habitations in the Minority Concentrated Districts (MCDs) identified by the
Ministry of Minority Affairs, as on 1.4.2013, a total of 146525 habitations are Fully Covered, 71,131 are
Partially Covered and 10,473 are Quality affected. In 2013-14, 20180 habitations have been targeted for
coverage and 7,911 habitations covered with potable drinking water supply till 12.02.2014.
Progress of NRDWP in LWE Affected Districts

There are 82 districts which are now categorized as LWE affected districts and identied for the
Integrated Action Plan (IAP). Funds are provided under the IAP to the District Administration of these
districts for taking up developmental schemes including water supply projects.
In addition, under the NRDWP, State Governments
have in their Annual Action Plans prioritised taking
up rural water supply projects in these districts.
As on 01.04.2013, out of the 16.92 lakh rural habitations
in the country, there are 3, 40,718 habitations in IAP
districts. Out of these, 2, 15,839 habitations are fully
covered (63.34%). 1, 13,125habitations (33.20%) are
partiallycovered. Further 11,754habitations (3.44%)are
quality affected.
In 2013-14, under the NRDWP, Rs. 760.46 crores
have been released by State governments to IAP
districts, targeting 29,175 habitations for coverage. As
on 31.03.2014, 31,340 habitations have been covered
23
2.1.9 Solar dual Pumps in Integrated Action Plan (IAP) Districts

The Ministry decided in convergence with the National Clean Energy Fund of Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE) to install 10,000 solar dual pumps in 82 Integrated Action Plan (IAP)
districts of the country. The cost of the total unit is about Rs 5.2 lakh. The fund sharing pattern between
MDWS, MNRE and States is 40:30:30. Under the Solar Powered dual pump scheme, a 900 Watt Solar
energy based submersible pump is installed in the bore well which is also fitted with a hand pump. The
pumped water is stored in a 5000 litre tank which is then used to provide piped water supply to each
house through taps. This scheme suffices requirement of drinking water needs of 250 persons. Hand
pump is kept as a standby in the same bore well to ensure availability of uninterrupted water supply to
the population in case of any problems with the solar powered pump. In the year 2013-14, States were
given a target of 2500 habitations against which 729 has been covered as on 28/02/2014.

2.2 WATER QUALITY PROGRAMME (WQP)

2.2.1 Setting up of International Centre for Drinking Water Quality (ICDWQ)
The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, is setting up an State of the
art Research & Development centre International Centre for Drinking Water Quality (ICDWQ) at
Joka, Diamond Harbour Road, Kolkata, the proposal has been approved by Government of India and
ICDWQ has been registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The ICDWQ would
be fully funded and administered under the overall guidance of the Ministry of Drinking Water and
Sanitation, Government of India.
The basic aim of the Society is to work in the area of identification, mitigation and management of
drinking water quality related problems in India and abroad with a focus on arsenic, fluoride and other
emerging contaminants to provide inputs for policy level decision making under the National Rural
Drinking Water Programme and in the rural drinking water sector in general. The Centre will focus
mainly on research and development activities, assessment of various treatment technologies, training,
networking with all related organizations, promoting doctoral and post-doctoral studies on drinking
water quality issues etc. It will cater to both- rural as well as urban areas in India. The Centre will also
assist other countries on demand.
The ICDWQ campus will have modern facilities following GRIHA green building norms for its
Administrative building, full-fledged R&D centre, library, auditorium, training centre and other ancillary
buildings along with guest house, staff quarters, etc. The total covered area is envisaged to be in the
range of approximately 17,000 sqm, which will be constructed at a tentative estimated cost of approx.
Rs. 66 crores, including all essential external services & land development etc.
25
Decision has been taken and a Project Management Consultant has been selected for planning, designing,
estimating, commissioning the ICDWQ units right from concept to commissioning.
2.2.2 Scheme of Safe Drinking Water Supply through Community Water Purification
Plants in Fluoride, Arsenic, Uranium and other Heavy/Toxic Metals and Pesticide/
Fertilizer Affected Rural Habitations in the Country
The National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) funds for supplying safe water in
contaminated areas are being utilized by the States as a policy mostly for alternate safe Piped Water
Supply (PWS) schemes including Multi-village schemes (MVS) (i. e., from far away safe sources) the
gestation period of such MVS projects is about 4-5 years. Since the rural people cannot be put to risk
due to consumption of unsafe drinking water in the interim period as also whereas all such Multi-Village
Schemes carrying safe water from far away sources cannot be planned and completed in the span of 4-5
years due to huge funds involved, hence, the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation has submitted an
EFC proposal to provide community water purification plants in fluoride, arsenic, uranium and other
heavy/toxic metals and pesticide/fertilizer affected rural habitations in the country for providing safe
drinking water immediately with an anticipated expenditure of total capital cost of Rs 3,600 crore with
fund sharing pattern of 75:25 (90:10 in case of NE, J&K) between Centre and State in approx 20,000
habitations during the period 2014-15 to 2016-17. The proposal has been appraised by EFC (Economic
Finance Committee), approved by Honble MOS(IC), MDWS and the Finance Minister. The proposal
is currently pending for consideration by the CCEA.
The proposal would be implemented for tackling of water quality affected habitations in a time-bound
manner through provision of safe drinking water @ 8-10 lpcd (meant for drinking and cooking purposes
only) through installation of community drinking water purification plants, with provision for a 7 year
Operation & Maintenance (O & M) built into the project cost through a two year performance guarantee
(bank guarantee), followed by 5-year AMC through the contractor setting up the plant, thereafter after 7
years, O&M will become the responsibility of Panchayat/State Government. This extended O&M period
of 7 years by the contractor will give ample time for Panchayats to gather experience and undertake
O&M later on themselves.
2.2.3 Technologies for Treatment of Water Quality Contaminants

States use a number of technology options to provide potable drinking water in the quality affected
habitations.
In order to assist the States in selecting appropriate contaminant removal technology, a Handbook
on Drinking Water Treatment Technologies was released in November, 2011 and was made available
to all States. This was further revised by adding comparative statement of technologies and treatment
technologies for emerging contaminants like uranium and the Revised Edition released in February, 2013.
26
2.2.4 Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance

In order to develop the understanding and appreciation of safe and clean drinking water amongst rural
communities and to enable them to carry out tests to determine the quality of drinking water, the National
Rural Drinking Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Programme (NRDWQM&SP) was launched
in February, 2006. The programme aimed at empowering rural communities by:
i) Bringing awareness through Information, Education & Communication (IEC) activities to address
ownership of the systems, health hazards due to poor drinking water quality, hygiene, sanitary
survey, importance of environmental sanitation, etc.
ii) Training 5 grass root workers in each Gram Panchayat, which may be ASHA worker, Anganwadi
worker, science teacher, high school girl child, panchayat member, retired army officials, etc.
iii) In addition to 5 Gram Panchayat workers, 2 persons at the State level, 4 persons at the District
and 5 persons at the Block level are also to be trained.
iv) Provision of water testing kit for each Gram Panchayat.
Awareness Generation for School Children on Drinking Water Quality in Kerala

27
For all these purposes, 100% financial assistance has been provided to the States. Since inception of
the programme till 30.3.2014, 3.838 lakh chemical kits, 1121.13 lakh bacteriological vials have been
purchased / supplied, 98.11 lakh water samples were tested in laboratories by using these kits and
23.35 lakh persons ( including
Grassroot workers in GPs, block &
district officials) have been trained
in different States to carry out the
water quality tests as per on-line
data reported by the States on IMIS.
This helps in keeping surveillance
on the quality aspects of drinking
water sources. With effect from
1.4.2009, NRDWQM&SP has been
subsumed in the NRDWP. From
2011-12 a separate component
of Water Quality Monitoring
Surveillance has been created for
which 3% of NRDWP funds are
allocated. During 2013-14, the
following achievements have been
made (till 30/03/2014):Village Women Using Field Test Kits to Test Drinking Water Quality in

2.2.5 Water Quality Testing Laboratories

The Ministry also supports in setting up and strengthening district level and sub-divisional laboratories
in the States. As on 30/03/2014, 720 district laboratories have been established by the States/ UTs
using funds from the Centre, from their own resources and from other sources. In addition, 1413 subdivisional / block level laboratories have also been set up in various States. States have carried out testing
of 26.74 lakh water samples during 2013-14.

2.2.6 National Programme on Prevention and Control of JE / AES

The National programme on prevention and control of Japanese Encephalitis / Acute Encephalitis
Syndrome (JE / AES) has been started by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India.
The Health Ministry has identified 60 high priority JE / AES districts and has proposed an integrated
approach in partnership with Ministries of Drinking Water & Sanitation, Social Justice, Housing and
Urban Poverty Alleviation and Women and Child Development.
The major thrust areas under the drinking water component of the programme include:
1) Provision of safe drinking water and proper sanitation facilities
2) Strengthening measures / mechanism for water quality monitoring
3) Replacement of public shallow hand pumps with IM-II hand pumps
4) Proper disinfection facilities
5) Rising hand pump platforms in water logged / high water table areas
6) Mini-water supply scheme with stand posts for provision of safe drinking water.
States can incur expenditure on th.is from the 3% provision made by Government of India under
WQM&SP.
The Ministry has taken up the issue of JE/AES in States very seriously and has reviewed the progress
on prevention and control of Japanese Encephalitis / Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE / AES) regularly
during NRDWP Review meeting and on online IMIS.
30
As reported by the States, under Central share funds, about 1700 rural habitations have been covered
under this programme during the year 2013-14 as on 28/4/2014.
2.2.7 Hydro-Geo-Morphological Maps

The Ministry has prioritized the preparation of hydro-geo-morphological maps to assist the States through
National Remote Sensing Centre, Hyderabad. With the use of these maps, States can identify sites for
groundwater sources for water supply systems and locations for constructing recharge structures to improve
sustainability of existing water supply sources.
Groundwater prospect maps in terms of Hydro-Geo-Morphological (HGM) maps have been completed
for the entire country except few islands and UTs. These have been handed over to States to help them
in identifying correct sites for production wells and sustainability structures for artificial groundwater
recharge. Use of these maps, along with geo-physical studies, are likely to cut down the failure of bore
wells/ tube wells drastically and also help in in-situ dilution of certain chemical contaminants. Rest of
the HGM prospect maps will be completed and handed over to States/ UTs by June 2014. Updating of
HGM maps that were provided long back, will also be updated during 2014-15, using latest satellite data
and sent to States. States have been advised to generate water quality data on a random but uniform
basis in each district during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons and send the same along with
their GPS coordinates and depth of tubewell so that ground water quality GIS layer could be inserted
into the HGM maps.

2.3 INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (IMIS)

The Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of the Ministry, developed and managed with
the help of the National Informatics Center (NIC) has in the past 5 years become a repository of all data
with respect to implementation of rural drinking water supply schemes, water quality data from villages
as well as of laboratory testing. The data is entered by the States online at the district and state levels.
Facility has been provided to the states to enter data at division levels also, from this year. States enter
their Monthly Progress Reports (MPRs) regarding physical and financial progress with respect to the
implementation of rural water supply schemes, for each month by the 15th of the subsequent month.
No paper reports are received from the states. Data regarding water supply for over 16.64 lakh rural
habitations across the country is available on the IMIS which is freely accessible from the Ministrys
website. The process of monitoring the targeted habitation online has been systematized from 2009-10
onwards through IMIS. The existing monitoring system can assess the impact of these programmes on
the coverage status of habitations. The Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) is accessible
in the online monitoring page of the Ministry website (http://www.ddws.gov.in).
The Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) is a comprehensive web based information
system, which enables the States and the Centre, to monitor the progress of coverage of habitations and
rural schools and anganwadis, through a common monitoring format. In addition to this, progress of
schemes for water supply and sustainability can also be monitored. The IMIS enables one to view the
extent of coverage with safe drinking water. This system also gives the list of quality-affected habitations
34
and the list of partially covered habitations. The list of Government and Local Body aided schools and
anganwadis in all villages of the country is captured along with facility (drinking water & sanitation)
available. Data on coverage of habitations with potable water and the link ofsuch data with the census
village code has been achieved for bringing in increased accuracy in the monitoring of the programme.
All States are providing progress data on the online IMIS system. Using the IMIS system, the Ministry
monitors the progress of all States in the implementation of the NRDWP. Feedback and advice is given
to the States on the basis of data submitted by them on the IMIS. The IMIS is developing into a robust
database, providing information of the status of rural drinking water situation covering every habitation
in the country, and has become a crucial tool for planning.
IMIS has won the SKOCH SMART Governance Award as one of indias best 100 projects of 2013.
IMIS also won the award of recognition from various organisations during 2013-14
From CSINihilent e-Governance award 2012-13.

RURAL SANITATION
PROGRAMME (RSP)
RURAL SANITATION PROGRAMME (RSP)
Safe sanitation is an essential requirement for the well being of every society. Though India has come
a long way in improving its sanitation coverage status, it is still well short of desired levels. The Nirmal
Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) launched in 2012, by modifying the erstwhile Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC),
is a community-led and people-oriented programme aimed at universalizing safe sanitation.
3.1 Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA)

In 2012, a paradigm shift was made in the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), by launching the Nirmal
Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), in the XII Five Year Plan. The objective of NBA is to achieve sustainable behavioral
change with provision of sanitary facilities in entire communities in a phased, saturation mode with
Nirmal Grams as outcomes.
The Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) lays strong emphasis on Information, Education and Communication
(IEC), capacity building and hygiene education for effective behavioural change covering the entire
community for saturated outcomes with a view to create Nirmal Gram Panchayats with the involvement
of PRIs, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), etc.
The new strategy is to transform rural India into Nirmal Bharat by adopting community saturation
approach. The goal under NBA is to achieve safe sanitation for 50% rural households by 2017 and to
all rural households by 2022.
3.2 Provision under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA)

Under the NBA, the provision of incentive for Individual Household Latrine units is available
to all BPL households.
Incentives are also available to APL households belonging to the following categories
i)
SCs,
ii)
STs,
iii)
small and marginal farmers,
iv)
landless labourers with homesteads,
v)
physically challenged
vi)
women headed households along-with all BPL households.
The provision of incentives to Individual Household Latrines are the following:

Incentive of Rs. 3200/- and 1400/- for each toilet (Rs. 3700/- and Rs. 1400/- in case of hilly
and difficult areas) is given by Central and State Government respectively, to the BPL households
and identified Above Poverty Line (APL) households w.e.f.01.4.2012.
In addition to the incentives under the NBA, upto Rs. 5400 is available under Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for construction of IHHLs.
47
Under the NBA, assistance of Rs. 35000/- (Rs. 38500/- for hilly and difficult areas) is available
for the construction of a toilet unit in schools.
Assistance of Rs. 8000/- (Rs. 10000/- for hilly and difficult areas) is available for Anganwadi
toilets with the cost shared by Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30.
Provision of upto Rs. 2,00,000/- is available for construction of Community Sanitary Complexes
with cost sharing between Centre, State and Community in the ratio of 60:30:10.
Under NBA, assistance is available to setup Production Centres of sanitary materials and Rural
Sanitary Marts.
Support exists for Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) in project mode for each Gram
Panchayat (GP) with financial assistance capped for a GP on number of household basis, to
enable all panchayats to implement sustainable SLWM projects. Rs. 7/12/15/20 lakh is available
for Gram Panchayats having up to 150/300/500/ more than 500 households, on a Centre
and State/GP sharing ratio of 70:30. Projects to be prioritized in identified GPs targeted for
nirmal status and those that have already been awarded the Nirmal Gram Puraskar (NGP). Any
additional cost requirement is to be met from the State/GP.
Funds for capacity building of all stakeholders including Panchayati Raj Institutions(PRIs) and
field level implementers have been earmarked under the revised strategy.
Implementation of a Sanitation and Hygiene Communication Strategy with focus on InterPersonal Communication.
Best Practice 1.
Strategy for Achieving Open Defecation Free Villages in Jharkhand
Based on the experience of Gadri village in Ranchi
The Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, Jharkhand, has adopted a new strategy, which
was demonstrated with UNICEF support in Ranchi district of Jharkhand. UNICEF engaged the
NGO ACE (Action for Community Empowerment) to demonstrate the strategy. Gadri village of
Nehalu Kapadia Panchayat was taken up as the first village for the demonstration of this strategy.
The concept of targeting the community as a whole, as against the earlier approach to focus on
individual households, was a critical shift. This challenging task was led by the Panchayats. Evidently,
the role of the facilitating NGO became critical in supporting the PaWnchayats first to mobilize
the community and thereafter mobilizing funds to achieve total sanitation coverage and use. At this
juncture, the provision of accessing the Revolving Fund was the key innovation of the demonstration
process. The Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC), a statutory body constituted under
the provisions of the Panchayati Raj Act, is the village-level executing agency of the Nirmal Bharat
Abhiyan. The Mukhiya of the Gram Panchayat is the President of the VWSC and the Jal Sahiya (the
female grassroots worker), as prescribed by the national guideline of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan, was
deputed as the treasurer of the VWSC.
The task of the facilitating NGO was to strengthen the capacity of the VWSC, vis--vis the Mukhiya
of the Gram Panchayat, to foster community mobilization on one hand and liaison with the District
48
Water and Sanitation Committee (DWSC), on the other. The Mukhiya, after ascertaining the
commitment of the entire village, that is, 100 percent households to strive towards achieving ODF
status and simultaneously the construction of sanitary toilets in each household, worked out the
total cost of the project. Subsequently, the VWSC submitted a proposal to the DWSC for a loan
to initiate the project. Individual households thereafter contributed to meet the total project cost.
This included labor cost, though in many cases the labor component was contributed directly by the
beneficiary households.
Implementation of the Strategy - The process of toilet construction was preceded by extensive community
mobilization activities led by the Panchayats. While implementing the sanitation program, it was
perceived that households have a natural attraction towards high quality construction. As toilets were
coming up in the village with robust superstructures, there was an immense demand for improving
the design of the superstructure and the beneficiary households were willing to invest on their
assets. ACE, the NGO involved in facilitation, made several innovations in toilet construction; for
instance, having a common wall for adjacent toilets belonging to siblings who belonged to separate
households. In this manner the unit cost of the toilets was reduced. Cost optimization was primarily
based on restricting wastage, planning for construction in scale, and avoiding over-designing of basic
components (such as the platform of the toilet, cover of the leech pit, doors, and roofs. Once the
construction phase was completed and the village was declared ODF, the VWSC prepared a list of
households in the village who were eligible for NBA subsidy and submitted a proposal to the DWSC,
requesting for the subsidy fund.
Eventually, on 13 May 2013, Gadri was declared ODF. A celebration was held in the village, organized
by the VWSC. During this celebration, the Additional Chief Secretary of the Drinking Water and
Sanitation Department handed over the NBA subsidy amount, adjusted with the loan provided
through the revolving funds. The Jal Sahiya also received the incentive amount.

3.3 Sanitation Coverage

Census 2011 has reported that sanitation coverage
in rural India has reached 32.70% taking into
consideration the increased population.
Census 2011 has also reported an increase in
2.96 crore households in rural areas as compared
to census 2001.
The NSSO-2012 report has estimated that
40.6% of rural households have sanitation
facilities.
3.4 Physical Progress Cumulative

Against a cumulative Project objective under TSC/NBA, of 12.57 crore Individual Household Latrines
(IHHL), States have reported on the Online Monitoring System that, sanitation facilities for 9.45 crore
individual households has been achieved as on December 2013. The state-wise % achievement as reported

iii) Review meeting with State Principal Secretaries/Secretaries In-charge of Rural Sanitation on
12th April, 2013 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
Review meeting with State Principal Secretaries/Secretaries In-charge of Rural Sanitation was
held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi
on 12th April, 2013 with the multiple
aims of reviewing the progress of
implementation of the NBA including
school sanitation targets, progress of
survey and conversion of insanitary
latrines into sanitary latrines, progress
of Baseline Survey and preparation
of revised Project Implementation
Plans(PIPs). The Joint Secretary gave
a presentation on the status of the
Baseline survey and the initial findings
reflected in them.
Regarding identification of dysfunctional toilets under the baseline survey, the States elaborated
on how they were going ahead and the checking each and every toilet in the GP.
The Ministry reiterated that open defecation was a national shame and said that the States have
to streamline their interventions and give due importance in tackling this issue. The Government
of India is committed to making the Country ODF free and there was no lack of resources or
intention from the side of the central government.
iv) Practitioners Workshop for developing a National Policy Frame Work on Solid and Liquid
Waste Management in Rural India on 20 21 May 2013
A National Practitioners Workshop for developing a National Policy Frame Work on Solid and
Liquid Waste Management in Rural India was organized on 20 21 May 2013 in Park Hotel,
New Delhi with collaboration of Asian Development Bank (ADB). The workshop was attended
by more than 20 experts and 15 practitioners including the elected representatives from different
parts of the Country. In his inaugural address, Secretary, Government of India focussed on
the issues and challenges in the field of sanitation especially the issues of SLWM in India. He
initiated the address by saying that SLWM is a challenging subject in India due to its diverse
nature like different terrain, varying climatic conditions and different existing culture and customs
among the community. Earlier, managing solid and liquid waste was considered a major issue in
urban areas, but now it has emerged as an issue in rural areas also. People dump both kitchen
waste and toilet waste in sewerage system, which makes it difficult to properly manage or treat.
He also stated that the coverage of sewerage system is only 15-20% even in cities despite the
continuous effort for almost a decade. Managing waste water itself is a big challenge. Under
NBA programme, Ministry focuses on make our country Nirmal by 2022 through sustainable
sanitation programmes in rural India. Each and every person has a role and responsibility in
achieving this, he stressed. He also pointed out need for a compendium on best practices on
54
SLWM in India. He also emphasized the need of developing some techno-economic models in
rural areas.
v) Review meeting with State NBA-Coordinators on 17th July, 2013 at India Habitat Centre,
New Delhi
A review meeting with State NBA-Coordinators was held under the Chairmanship of Shri
Saraswati Prasad, Joint Secretary (Sanitation), on 17th July, 2013 at India Habitat Centre, New
Delhi, with the aim of reviewing the progress of NBA including school sanitation targets, progress
of survey and conversion of insanitary latrines into sanitary latrines, progress of Baseline survey
and preparation of revised Project Implementation Plans(PIPs).
Shri Saraswati Prasad, Joint Secretary (Sanitation) stated that States need to focus on achieving
the physical and financial objectives set under AIP-2013-14. He further said that the survey
of insanitary latrines should be completed on priority basis and insanitary latrines should be
converted into sanitary latrines on priority basis. Director (NBA) made a presentation on the
programme.
vi) Review meeting with State Principal Secretaries/Secretaries In-charge of Rural Sanitation on
19th November, 2013 at Hotel Leela Palace, New Delhi
A review meeting with State Secretaries in-charge of
Rural Sanitation was held under the Chairmanship
of Shri Pankaj Jain, Secretary(DWS), on 29 th
November, 2013 at Hotel- Leela Palace, New Delhi
with the aim of reviewing the progress of NBA
including school sanitation targets, progress of
survey and conversion of insanitary latrines into
sanitary latrines, progress of baseline survey and
preparation of revised Project Implementation
Plans(PIPs).
Shri Saraswati Prasad, Joint Secretary (Sanitation) made a presentation. In which he stated that
States must focus on achieving the physical and financial objectives set under AIP-2013-14.
Achievements are pretty low in some States. He focused on the survey of insanitary latrines
which should be completed on priority basis and insanitary latrines should be converted into
sanitary latrines on priority basis. Construction of Schools and Anganwadi toilets should be
completed by March, 2014. He also said that NGP awards money in future will not be released
if the pending UCs are not submitted.
In his opening remarks, the Secretary (MDWS) stated that open defecation is a national shame
and 600 million people in India defecate in the open while only 32.7% have sanitation facilities
as per Census-2011 figures. He said that culture of practicing open defecation should change.
Community involvement should be increased. The Secretary also expressed doubts about the
sanitation coverage figures indicated by States as programme achievement stating that there were
a lot of dysfunctional toilets in the Country. States should make special efforts to complete the
55
Project objectives of 2013-14 with particular emphasis to complete school and anganwadi toilets
by March 2014. State should take immediate steps to minimize the unspent balance. He asked
the States about convergence of NBA with MGNREGS. Convergence is good in the States of
Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Haryana, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and
Karnataka.

In October 2003, GOI launched an award based Incentive Scheme, as a component of its flagship scheme
Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), for achieving fully sanitized and open defecation free Gram Panchayats,
Blocks, Districts and States called the Nirmal Gram Puraskar (NGP). The first awards were given in
2005. NGP seeks to recognise the efforts made by Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and organisations
which have contributed significantly towards ensuring full sanitation coverage in their areas of operation.
Nirmal Gram Puraskar awarded till 2011 was given by Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation
(MoDWS), Government of India at all levels of PRIs that is Gram Panchayat, Block Panchayat and
District Panchayat.
It has now been decided that with the transition to NBA, involvement of the States in the selection of
Gram Panchayats to award Nirmal Gram Puraskar from the year 2012 shall be increased, while selection
of the Blocks and District Panchayats shall continue to be with the Centre. The selection of NGPs for
the year 2013 is under process.

3.10 Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP)
Provision for SCs and STs
The goal of Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) is to achieve universal sanitation coverage in the entire
rural India by the year 2022. This includes provision of toilets for entire rural population. It is however,
reiterated that provisioning of sanitation facilities for Schedule Castes/Schedule Tribes is an important
priority of the NBA. Thus adequate priority is given for constru ction of Individual household latrines
for SCs/STs. Due attention is also given to agglomerations inhabited by SCs/STs neglected in any region.
Due attention is also given for demand generation for construction of community toilets so that SCs/
60
STs are able to get necessary benefits. Under the revised guidelines of NBA, provision of incentives has
been widened including APLs belonging to SC and ST categories w.e.1.4.2012.
Since 2011, under the NBA, 22% of total allocation is earmarked for Schedule Caste Sub Plan(SCSP)
and 10% of total allocation for Tribal Sub Plan(TSP). In the year 2012-13, Rs. 550 crore was earmarked
for SCSP, while Rs. 250 crore for TSP.
For the year 2013-14, Rs. 937.20 crore (22% of total allocation of Rs. 4260 crore) is earmarked for SCs
and Rs. 426 crore (10% of total allocation of Rs.4260 crore) is earmarked for STs. Out of this, under
SCSP Rs.343.99 crore have already been released to States, while Rs.113.63 crore have already been
released to States under TSP upto December, 2013.
The progress achieved under NBA for SCs/STs is also being monitored through the online monitoring
system. Upto December, 2013, out of the total of 510.36 lakh Individual Household Latrines constructed
by BPL households, 118.30 lakh (23.18%) IHHLs are from SCs families and 64.50 lakh (12.64%) IHHLs
are from STs families. State-wise details are at Annexure-X.
The annual physical progress under TSC/NBA in 2012-13 and 2013-14 (Upto Dec. 2013) in construction
of Individual Household Latrine for SC/ST is as below:

3.11 Information, Education and Communication (IEC)

Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is an extremely important component of Rural
Sanitation programme that lays the basis for successful implementation of the programme. It serves as a
platform for informing, educating and persuading people to realize their roles, responsibilities and benefits
accruing from investing in right sanitation practices. IEC plays a very critical role in bringing behavioral
change on various aspects of safe sanitation, creating effective demand, usage and links to health and
hygiene. The role of IEC in demand generation for sanitary facilities is well recognized. The Sanitation
programme for its success and sustainability requires empowered, well aware and skilled stakeholders
capable of planning, implementation, operation, maintenance and management of sanitation schemes.
Conventional IEC approaches like posters, pamphlets, wall writing, etc. may be undertaken but they have
limited appeal and impact. The best way to create impact has been to follow a holistic approach that
empowers communities through participatory methodologies, which trigger the minds of the community
members to take informed decisions regarding their sanitation status. The communication at community
level can be supplemented by a mass media Behavior Change Communication (BCC) initiative, which
focuses on changing social and cultural norms regarding open defecation and maintaining a clean
environment, which will not only change behaviors, but most importantly, support sustainability of the
behavioral change.
61
Therefore Ministry has come up with a Sanitation

Hygiene and Communication Strategy (SHACS)
in order to provide a broad framework to the
States for the implementation of IEC activities
to increase awareness among rural people,
generation of demand for sanitation facilities
and creation of clean environment. 15% of each
district project outlay including 2% for capacity
building can be utilized for IEC activities aimed
at generating effective demand and spreading
hygiene education. The focus of SHACS on Inter
Personal Communication (IPC) on which 60%
of the IEC is proposed to be spent.
Most of the States have prepared State wise and Districtwise IEC Action Plans based on the above
principles.
The Advocacy and Communication Strategy focuses on four critical sanitation and hygiene behaviours:
1. Building and use of toilets.
2. The safe disposal of child faeces.
3. Handwashing with soap after defecation, before food and after handling child faeces.
4. Safe storage and handling of drinking water
The IEC Campaign across the Country focus on these behaviors in addition to which individual
States can decide on additional messages.
Swachchhata Doot
From 2012, the Ministry is focussing on creating an army of field motivators working on sanitation at
the village level. The engagement of motivators at the village level is for demand creation and taking up
behaviour change communication. They are to address all sections of rural population to bring about
the relevant behavioural changes for improved sanitation and hygiene practices and meet their sanitary
hardware requirements in an affordable and accessible manner. The motivator can be provided with
suitable incentive from the funds earmarked for IEC.
The motivator will work on Interpersonal Communication through door to door contacts which are
recognized as the most significant tools for attaining the programme goals. The Ministry has issued
guidelines for the engagement of village level motivators (Swachchhata Doot / Sanitation Messengers) in
order to strengthen communication machinery at the village level with participatory social mobilization
in accordance with the guidelines issued by MDWS.
A Swacchata Doot should be a resident of the GP in which he is being engaged, have access to toilet,
and should not be practicing open defecation and should possess a good command over local language/
dialect. In addition, the individual should have good communication skills, should hold a good reputation
62
in the GP, should be apolitical and should possess leadership qualities and community mobilization skills.
The Swachchhata Doot may be engaged by the DWSM in all the Gram Panchayats on the terms and
conditions specified in the guidelines. He should also be projected to be the key representative for
sanitation in the GP for every beneficiary and their voice for reaching to relevant officials. Adequate
training and skills should be provided to the Swachchhata Doots, including induction trainings and
orientation programmes by SWSM/DWSM.
The position of Swachchhata Doot is normally an honorary position with high visibility with motive of
social service than a post of profit. Provision of awards for exemplary work done by the Swachchhata
Doot will be made at District and State level to be distributed on special occasions like Republic Day,
Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti, International/National/State Sanitation Day, or during sanitation,
health and education related special events. The states may also introduce suitable awards with citation
for Swachchhata Doots for making a village open defecation free, on being awarded NGP.
Monitoring of the performance of Swachchhata Doot should be incorporated in the system of programme
monitoring in respect of GPs as per suggested common developed criteria mentioned in the guidelines
used by the Ministry. 55,571 Swachchata Doots are currently engaged across the country spreading the
message of sanitation.
3.12 Convergence of NBA with other Schemes

Under NBA it has now envisaged that the
sanitation programme would be implemented
in a campaign approach to cover the entire
community for saturated outcomes with a view
to create Nirmal Grams. This new approach
recognizes that provision of sanitation facilities
has multifaceted dimensions ranging from
creating sanitation infrastructure with a variety
of technology options to software activities like
motivating communities for demand generation
for toilets through intensive IEC and capacity
building programmes.
Convergence and coordination between the
various schemes being implemented by various Ministries and the active involvement by field level
functionaries like PRI members, ASHA, Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), Village Water and Sanitation
Committees (VWSCs), Teachers, Swachata Doots in promoting sanitation issues and practices is
essential for its success. As major initiative for convergence of NBA with MGNREGA implemented by
Department of Rural Development has been taken up. Though this had initially resulted in the slowing
of the programme, it is expected that with time as coordination mechanisms are set up across States,
the overall impact on the sanitation problem will be positive.
Inter-sectoral convergence amongst various schemes is currently underway.
63
Some of the schemes where convergence has been initiated are:

3.12.1 Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) of Ministry of Women and Child Development
Considering the close linkages between provision of safe drinking water, good sanitation and child
health, the Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Drinking Water and
Sanitation are making efforts at the Central and State level for greater inter-sectoral convergence
of the programmes of MW&CD and MDWS.
To ensure that all Anganwadis in Government buildings in the rural areas are provided with baby
friendly toilet facilities, the Ministry has enhanced the financial assistance for toilets to Rs. 8,000
(Rs. 10,000 in case of hilly and difficult areas). The NBA programme focuses on making available
toilet facilities in Anganwadis across the Country. Anganwadi Worker being a member of Village
Water Sanitation and Health Committee has an important role to play in health and sanitation
awareness generation. Anganwadi workers should be involved in promoting health and hygiene
education programmes like safe disposal of child faeces, proper washing of hands and other related
behavioural change in AWCs.
Recently under the NBA guidelines, instructions have been issued for incentivizing AWW (Anganwadi
Worker) and Anganwadi Helper (AWH) from IEC funds earmarked under NBA for their role in
motivating village communities to construct and use toilets. AWW training guidelines now define
their roles and responsibilities with respect to sanitation promotion. To address the problem of
malnutrition caused by poor sanitation toilet provision in 200 high focused malnutrition Districts
has been prioritized in NBA.
The campaign of the MoWCD on improving the Child Sex Ratio(CSR) is also supported by this
Ministry by engaging the Swachchata Doots to convey messages regarding the need to improve the
CSR.
3.12.2 Areas of Convergence with Ministry of Rural Development (MRD)
MDWS has undertaken convergence initiatives with schemes of Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment
Guaruntee Scheme (MGNREGS) and the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) implemented by the Ministry
of Rural Development.
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) :
The components of NBA include construction of toilet units for individual households, Schools and
Anganwadis, and Solid and Liquid Waste Management in convergence with the Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), wherever feasible. These construction works
require engagement of unskilled labour for their earthwork component. To give an impetus to the NBA,
particularly in augmenting incentive funds for the aforesaid components, convergence has been initiated
with the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) implemented
by Ministry of Rural Development.
Accordingly the MGNREGS guidelines were amended to include works relating to sanitation facilities
in MGNREGS schedule of works. (New Gazette No. 18761 dated 30th September, 2011 giving detailed
64
guidelines) which was further amended vide notifications J- 11017/41/2011 dated 07/06/2012, 11-9-2012
and J-11017/41/2013-MGNREGA(UN) dated 6-1-2014.
The basic tenets of the convergence are as under:
a) In addition to the Incentive Grant to the beneficiaries for construction of Individual Household
Latrine (IHHL) under NBA, i.e. Rs.3200/- (Rs. 3700/- for hilly and difficult areas) as Central
share, Rs. 1400/- as State share (with freedom to enhance the share), and Rs. 900/- as beneficiary
share, a financial assistance of maximum up to Rs 4500/- per IHHL (now revised to Rs 5400/)
has been made available from MGNREGS, to take the total unit cost to Rs. 10,000/- for
construction and usage of IHHL.
b) The assistance under MGNREGS can be extended only to those households that are in possession
of the MGNREGS job card. In the case of others, if they are eligible under NBA, they have to
apply and obta in a job card in order to avail the benefits of MGNREGS and NBA converged
toilet facilities.
c) Incentive from MGNREGS may also be utilized for construction of Anganwadi toilet units,
School Toilet Units and SLWM as Institutional Projects. The work will be completed as per
prevailing Schedule of Rates.
d) A Mate may be deployed for every 15-25 IHHLs depending upon its geographical spread in a
gram panchayat at one time, in addition to institutional toilets falling in the area.
Best Practice 2.
Effective TSC/NBA implementation through Self Help Groups : A mission mode approach in
Medak district by utilizing SHGs acknowledged as a model for Andhra Pradesh
Under the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), 99 villages of Medak district of Andhra Pradesh achieved
Open Defecation Free (ODF) status and bagged Nirmal Gram Puraskars (NGPs) till 2011. The district
administration reached out to the community with the slogan Intinta Paarishudhyam (sanitation in
every household). A mammoth program of constructing one lakh toilets in 100 days in the identified
502 villages was launched to achieve 100 percent toilet construction and usage in all 1,059 villages in
a phased manner. The district administration developed a strategy to reach out to the communities
with various communication activities, and mission mode interventions in collaboration with
UNICEF. Factors that led to the success of the program included minimizing the role of departmental
officers/engineers, making Self Help Group (SHG) women the prime stakeholders, and reducing the
intermediary bottlenecks.
Process of Implementation - A core team was constituted at the district level to lead the sanitation
campaign under the leadership of the District Collector. Senior officers were made special officers
for each constituency (four to five Mandals) relocated to constituency level. One district officer was
in charge of each of the 46 Mandals and 502 adoption officers were engaged, one for every village;
1,285 focal persons (one per 100 toilets) were deployed for all 502 villages.
65
Weekly Monitoring - The District Collector held a wireless set conference every Monday on the
progress of toilet construction. Weekly reports were collected every Friday by the District Water and
Sanitation Committee (DWSC) and wireless set conferences were held by the Superintending Engineer,
Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (RWSS), on every Saturday based on the reports collected and
consolidated on the previous day. The adoption officer/focal persons reported daily on progress to
the special officers. Mandal-level weekly review meetings, constituency-level monthly review meetings,
and district- level convergence meetings are organized regularly.
Fund Flow- An important lesson learnt was that the government incentive was not reaching
beneciaries on time. A new administrative and nancial system was put in place for the selection
of beneciaries, sanctions, construction of Individual Sanitary Latrine (ISL), documentation, and
payment to the beneciaries through SHG women. The State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM)
released funds to DWSC. A joint account was opened by the Mandal Mahila Samakya (MMS) and
Mandal Parishad Development Ofcer (MPDO). Funds were transferred from DWSC to the joint
account as advance. MMS opened a Rural Sanitary Mart (RSM) and placed indents for material
kit supply to the beneciaries. MPDO released funds to the RSM at the rate of Rs.1, 247 and the
balance to the Village Organisation (VO) at the rate of Rs. 1, 953 per kit. The VO received the
subsidy and disbursed it to the beneciaries after conrming the construction of the toilets. The VO
extended loans of Rs. 2,000 to 2,500 to the needy beneciaries to reduce their nancial burden.
Incentive under MGNREGS and TSC/NBA - Every beneficiary got an amount of Rs. 4,500 as
incentive from the government. Of this, Rs. 3,200 from TSC was paid to the beneficiary through
SHGs, and Rs. 1,300 from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGS) was paid directly to the beneficiary. Now, according to the revised guidelines of Nirmal
Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), the government incentive has been increased to Rs. 10,000, including the
beneficiary contribution of Rs. 900, of which an amount of Rs. 4,500 was paid from MGNREGS
and the remaining Rs. 4,600 paid from NBA.
Incentive for Motivation - To motivate and encourage village-level stakeholders, an amount of Rs. 50
was given per ISL to the VO, Rs. 25 per ISL to the Mandal Coordinator of the RWSS Department,
and Rs. 25 per ISL to the focal person.
Delivery of Toilet Material - With the governments incentive amount of Rs. 3,200, the district
administration initiated a plan to provide the material kit (water closet, asbestos sheet, a standard
door, and a P-trap) at a cost of Rs. 1,247 at the doorstep of the beneficiaries, through RSMs run by
MMSs. The beneficiary, thus, got standardized material at reasonable rates. The logistical problems
of procuring the material and transportation charges were reduced. However, beneficiaries had the
option of purchasing materials of their choice.
Behavior Change Communication (BCC) and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC)The district administration developed a District Communication Plan and carried out Sanitation
Mapping for all the targeted villages. IEC material was developed with the support of UNICEF.
BCC activities such as Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) training for SHGs, capacity building
66
to the Mandal Resource Coordinators, district officers, Mandal-level functionaries, and communitybased organizations (CBOs) were organized to promote sanitation in an effective way.
Achievements During Intinta Paarishudhyam At the end of 100 days, work on constructing 88,101 toilets began, of which 53,510 were
completed.
VO loan linkages for 3,616 members on an average of Rs. 2,500 were sanctioned for a total
of Rs. 90,32,500.
As villages became ODF, a total of 215 villages were proposed for NGP 2011-12.
3.12.3 Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)

NBA is also being converged with the Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) scheme implemented by MRD which
aims at provision of housing for the poor. Under NBA, all houses constructed by the beneficiaries
under IAY or any other State rural housing scheme which do not have toilets shall also be eligible for
the incentive for creation of sanitation facilities for targeted groups under NBA. To ensure that all IAY
houses are provided with sanitation facilities and for dovetailing of funds under NBA/TSC with IAY for
construction of toilets, a Joint letter under the signature of Joint Secretaries from both Ministries was
issued to all State Secretaries incharge of sanitation to strengthen the convergence of IAY with NBA as
under:
All houses constructed by the beneficiaries under Indira Awas Yojana(IAY) or any other State rural
housing scheme which did not have toilets shall also be eligible for the incentive for creation of
sanitation facilities for targeted groups under NBA. Implementing agency for IAY in the District
will provide the list of identified IAY houses to be constructed during the year so that it could
be taken as NBA target of the District in Annual Implementation Plan(AIP)
The District Implementing Agency of NBA shall transfer the funds in respect of targeted IAY
houses during the year after receipt of request from IAY Implementing Agency in two installments,
the first installment being 50% of the required funds as per the target approved for toilets in IAY
houses. The second installment will however, be released on utilization of 60% of the available
funds with the IAY implementing agencies and on submission of required UCs/ASAs as per
NBA guidelines
Joint IEC so as to have effective demand generation.
On line monitoring of toilet facility available in houses constructed under IAY.
3.12.4 Convergence with NRDWP
It is clear that availability of water is required to keep the toilets clean and usable. Provisioning of
assured and sustainable water supply not only facilitates toilet construction and usage, but also
goes a long way in incentivising and motivating people to adopt good sanitation practices including
hand washing before and after meals, post defecation, as also maintaining cleanliness and proper
hygiene within and outside houses.
67
Thus, availability of enough water for

sanitation purposes needs to be taken into
account on priority. A conjoint approach
to water and sanitation are being adopted
through convergence with the National Rural
Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and
the NBA. Gram Panchayats having adequate
water availability are to be prioritized for
creation of sanitation infrastructure while
those with higher toilet coverage are to
be taken up for provision of water supply
(specially piped water supply) under the
scheme National Rural Drinking Water
Programme.
Under the NBA, there are specific instructions that no sanitary structures are to be built near drinking
water sources. Further water supply to Schools, Anganwadis and Community Sanitary Complexes
are to be set-up under the NRDWP programme component.
3.12.5 Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment to address Manual Scavenging
With the promulgation of the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry latrines
(Prohibition) Act, 1993, the construction and maintenance of dry latrines and employing someone
as a manual scavenger has been prohibited. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment is a
nodal Ministry monitoring the implementation of the Act. The Census 2011 has reported existence
of 12.76 lakh insanitary latrines in the country, out of which 5.86 lakh dry latrines reportedly cleaned
manually in the rural areas of the country.
As per revised NBA guidelines any existing bucket latrines, if any, has to be converted to sanitary
latrines. The incentive available to the beneficiary for this is identical to that of the construction of
individual house hold latrines. States have been requested to take steps for conversion of existing
bucket or dry latrines into sanitary latrines on a priority basis in all the villages where insanitary
latrines exist and manual scavenging has been reported in Census 2011.
States have carried out a survey on this and they have reported conversion of 84,986 insanitary
latrines to sanitary latrines upto 31.12.2013.
3.13 Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) under NBA

To strengthen the monitoring mechanism of the programme, an online monitoring system exists whereby
State Governments have to report the physical and financial progress in the implementation of the NBA
online on a monthly basis panchayat wise. The system of on-line data entry has is in place and State
officials are responsible for online data entry.
68
Comprehensive web-based online monitoring systems for NBA and NGP separately are now in place
with GP level data on targets and achievements. The data is being updated at district level and state
level. The system has been upgraded with a facility to upload the names and card number for BPL
beneficiaries and identified APL beneficiaries for authentication of data. The system now also captures
the number of APL households who belong to SCs, STs, small and marginal farmers, landless laborers
with homesteads, physically challenged and women headed households along-with all BPL households
covered with sanitation facilities.
Further to keep pace with the modern IT tools, provision is now available to send automatic reminders
on identified dates to State Secretaries and NBA Coordinators of each district to report physical and
financial progress by the due dates. Provision has also been made to issue SMSs to field functionaries
and State Secretaries on group messages to be sent through online monitoring system.
The Ministry is in the process of bringing in further innovations in the MIS with new and practical
reports which shall be of use for better management of the programme.
Snapshot of Online Monitoring System
Periodic review meetings are conducted to review the physical and financial progress in the implementation
of the NBA in all the States. Besides review meetings, regular video conferencing also organized to review
progress of NBA and suggest corrective measures wherever required to achieve physical and financial
objectives.
69
Field visits are also made by the officers of the Ministry to see the implementation of Sanitation
programme. Third party evaluation studies are also carried out for real impact assessment.
Special reports on progress of the programme on Left Wing Extremist districts, minority concentrated
districts; SC/ST dominated districts are available. GIS based reports are available for Country, State,
District and Panchayat level.
The States have been advised to adopt a five-pronged strategy to promote transparency consisting of
i) creation of awareness about the schemes,
ii) transparency,
iii) peoples participation,
iv) accountability/social audit
v) strict vigilance and monitoring at all levels.
These measures are to help in maximum utilization of funds under the rural development schemes.
3.14
Human Resource Development (HRD)
The current institutional arrangements under NBA demonstrate a holistic approach to sanitation service
delivery and involve all administrative levels of the implementation chain, from a policy decision making
body at the Central level to a programme delivery one at State level and the primary stakeholders- the
community at the village level.
At the policy level, the State Water and Sanitation
Mission and the District Water and Sanitation
Missions (DWSM) take broad decisions regarding
the policies (within the overall letter and spirit
of the NBA guidelines) and implementation
approaches to be adopted in the District related
to sanitation activities.
The Block Resource Centres (BRC) are the new
institutional set up at the block level to provide
continuous support in terms of awareness
generation, motivation, mobilisation, training
and handholding to Gram Sabhas and GPs.
They serve as an extended delivery arm in terms of software support from the districts and act as a link
between the District Water & Sanitation Mission and Gram Panchayats /Gram Sabhas.
The Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSC) have been set up at the lowest level as a grassroot level village Institutions mandated with the task of bringing about total sanitation, improving health
& hygiene, O & M and sanitation in their respective villages.
While the above are mainly implementation institutions, the Water and Sanitation Support Organizations
(WSSOs) have also been set up at the State level to provide capacity building support to various levels for
70
the implementation of the programme. The Communication and Capacity Development Unit (CCDU)
which shall function under Water and Sanitation Support Organization shall develop communication
campaigns for the State, and Districts focusing on critical messages to change the behaviour of
communities.
At the national level, with a view to undertake continuous professional development of project
implementers and to equip them to handle various issues and emerging challenges in the sector such as
sustainability of sanitation facilities and its use, developing sustainable technology options in sanitation
etc., the Ministry has created a National Resource Centre (NRC). This Centre engages Consultants to
provide technical expertise in the area of sanitation as a support to the Ministry.
The Ministry also has identified several organizations of high repute with expertise in imparting training
on sanitation as Key Resource Centres (KRCs) to build capacities of different stakeholders at various levels.
With a view to bring about inter-sectoral convergence and coordination between Ministries/Department
at the Centre and the States and to get inputs from persons with recognized expertise in the drinking
water and sanitation sector, a High Level Inter Ministerial Committee namely National Drinking Water
& Sanitation Council (NDWSC) has also been set up in Ministry.

ODF Status Achieved in
Mandi Gram Panchayats
Villagers work towards improving the environment
Bungrail Chouk, the village known as the Switzerland of Himachal Pradesh, is about 85 km from
Mandi, the district HQ of Mandi district and situated at a height of around 6,500 ft. Even during
the hot summer months, the lush green environment of the village helps to cool visitors. The village
is an ODF village and has received the NGP award as well. Sustainability in sanitation and drinking
water has been achieved through effective IEC by the Rural Development Department.
The IEC fund was utilized for achieving sustainable sanitation by the engagement of an NGO to
generate awareness and also bring about behavioral change.
Under the chairmanship of the District Magistrate, all departments were involved in mobilizing the
community in a participatory manner for collectively making the GP Open Defecation Free. The most
significant aspect of the strategy was that no message regarding any incentive money was ever discussed,
so that along with BPL, all APL families could be simultaneously motivated. The cohesive spirit imbibed
among the villagers created magic. Every household of the GP joined hands in collecting materials such
as stone and sand, helping dig pits, laying stones to wall the pits, and constructing superstructures. With
door-to-door campaigns, meetings, group discussions, street theater, wall paintings, and so on, every
household felt the need for toilets and understood the health impact of open-defecation and social
issues pertaining to the dignity of women and comfort of the aged. With the endeavor of the entire
community, every household constructed toilets and thus the age old practice of open defecation was
eradicated. The villagers were not aware about the incentive permissible under TSC and the amount.
71
Even after achieving ODF, no incentive was paid to individual entitled beneficiaries. The GP applied
for NGP and in the third attempt the GP was recognized and awarded the NGP. It was only after
getting the recognition of the NGP award, the entitled BPL families were paid an incentive. The GP
also received a State award for ODF status before the NGP award was issued.
As far as drinking water is concerned, a multi-village water supply scheme has been introduced by
the Irrigation Department, which handles the drinking water supply in HP. The households have the
advantage of piped water supply at the household level.
The village is an ideal example to exhibit how effective convergence of schemes of various departments
can usher in sustainable prosperity. By utilizing the MGNREGS fund, four ponds have been dug for
meeting the need for domestic water supply. Under the National Horticulture Mission (NHM), drip
irrigation system, vermin compost, protective net for apple plants,and so on, have been facilitated.
3.15
Research and Development (R &D)
To further Research & Development in the field of Sanitation, 100% funding to research organizations
including NGOs is given by the Central Government. A Research Advisory Committee under the
Chairpersonship of Secretary (DWS) has been constituted primarily to promote research and development
activities for the Sanitation.
The major areas for Research & Development in sanitation include:
Technology related, which is sanitation technologies particularly in the product/design, evacuation,
decomposition and maintenance and construction with regard to leach pit technology or any
improvement in existing installed septic tank technology, solid and liquid waste management,
Eco San etc.
Program related: Innovations in planning, communication, monitoring, financing sanitation
program to ensure faster and sustainable implementation of the sanitation program.
Studies, which include impact assessment studies, initiation of impact studies of sanitation,
studies on MHM, including technologies like incinerators,
Design & implementation of environment friendly self-sustaining sanitation system this may
include design of improved leach pits, other technical options for Individual Household Latrine
(IHHL), hygienic rural toilets, ecological sanitation etc.,
Improved / Economical toilet design for children, differently able persons, emergency situations
with suggested cost implications
Improved/ Economical community/Institutional sanitation system including waste management.
Effectiveness of models of sanitation in various hydro-geological and geo-physical conditions,
like water table, rocky, flood prone, water scarce and extreme low temperature areas.
Methods of bringing about behavioural changes and information and dissemination of sustainable
sanitation technologies.
72
Zero discharge/waste management system involving communities.

Sustainable technology and methodology for the management of liquid wastes in rural villages.
Sustainable technologies having potential of resource recovery and safe reuse of wastes and
employment avenues for the community will be preferred.
Establishing linkages with water, health, nutrition, agriculture, bio-gas generation and movement
of bacteria and other pollutants in soil through pit toilets.
To strengthen the R&D facilities in the concerned Departments in various States, State Governments
are encouraged to establish R&D cells with adequate manpower and infrastructure. R&D Cells are
required to remain in touch with premier Technical Institutions within the State. The network of
Technical Institutions may follow the guidelines issued by the Ministry from time to time for effective
implementation of the rural sanitation programme. R&D Cells are also required to be in constant
touch with the Monitoring & Investigation divisions and the Monitoring & Evaluation Study Reports
for initiating appropriate follow up action.

Eco-friendly solution to Human Waste Management: DRDO develops and installs bio-toilets
The Directorate of Life Sciences, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has
developed an eco-friendly solution to human waste management. DRDOs bio-toilet technology
consists of growing an anaerobic microbial consortium by acclimatization/enrichment of microbes
at low temperatures and bio-augmentation with a critical group of bacteria. The PVC-based
immobilization matrix provides a larger quantity of bacteria andresists wash out of bacteria and adverse
situations. The bio-digester is a fermentation container made of steel/SS/FRP/bricks.Features of the
bio-digester include:
FRP tank of minimum thickness of 8 millimeter (mm).
FRP diagonal self-constrained separating wall with thickness of 8 mm (adequately stiffened by

ribs).
The tank is buried 600 mm deep, and anchored by 300 mm-long stainless (SS316) anchor
bolts at its corners.
There are also provisions for water-sealed outlet from the tank.
The steps in anaerobic digestion

consist of the conversion of large
polymers into simpler monomers,
which, in turn, are converted into
volatile fatty acid; volatile fatty acids
are then converted into acetic acid,
CH4 and CO2. In the last stage,
acetate and H2 are converted into
CH4 and CO2. DRDO reports
that no aeration is required in the
anaerobic biodegradation; complete
anaerobic conditions prevail with
more than 99 percent pathogen
inactivation. Anaerobes can even
degrade detergents/phenyl, sludge
generation Is slow, one-time bacterial
inoculation is adequate, and there is
minimal maintenance cost and no
recurring cost. DRDO had installed
about 21 bio-digester toilets in
Lakshadweep on pilot bases and
12,000 more are currently being
installed.

Dealing with Emergencies : Portable toilets have helped provide sanitation facilities to disaster affected
people in Assam
Since sanitation and hygiene are important for the health and safety of thousands of affected families
sheltered in camps, the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities assumes significance.
Floods are a recurring problem in States such as Assam and Bihar, owing to the overflowing of the
Brahmaputra, the Koshi, and other rivers. It is the usual practice families from rural areas to riverbanks
or schools. Since sanitation and hygiene are important for the health and safety of hundredsand
thousands of affected families sheltered in camps, the provision of safe drinking water and sanitation
facilities assumes significance. During the recent flooding of the Brahmaputra in upper Assam,
OXFAM, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), introduced portable toilets made entirely of
synthetic material. These toilets have a wall on three sides, a curtain, a platform with two footrests,
and pipes emerging from the pan to an underground pit, with a bamboo platform covered with soil.
Each toilet costs Rs.7,000 to Rs. 8,000. After use and normalization of the situation, the toilets
are removed, cleaned with disinfectants, and stored for future use. After dismantling the toilets and
pipes, the pits are covered and left undisturbed for decomposition. Similarly, during recent social
unrest in the districts of Kokrajhar,
Dhubri, and Bongaigaon in Assam,
a large number of affected people
left home and took refuge in schools
or temporary shelters. The Public
Health and Engineering Department
(PHED), Assam, arranged for hand
pumps to ensure safe drinking
water and installed portable plastic
platforms with plastic pans.
The plastic toilets are approximately
4x4 feet and are placed on pits and
covered by a temporary superstructure
made of plastic wrapped around
four bamboo poles. After use and
dismantling, the pits are covered
with soil. These innovations require
further research and development
to be institutionalized as standard
practices in case of emergencies.

3.16 Representing India in the International Fora

5th South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN-V)
The 5th South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN-V) was organised from 22nd to 24th
October, 2013 at Kathmandu, Nepal. This conference was a platform for the Governments, practitioners,
professional agencies and Civil Societies to engage in constructive dialogue for collective effort to foster
regional collaboration in pursuit of meeting the sanitation challenges in the region.
The conference was attended by Honble MoS(I/C), Secretary(DWS), Joint Secretary(Sanitation),
Director(NBA), Director(Fin) and other Govt. of India and State Officials. Shri Bharat Sinh Solanki,
Honble MoS(I/C) addressed the Conference on 24th October, 2013 in which he highlighted the
achievements of the Country in Sanitation and enumerated the challenges ahead. He also reiterated that
India is fully committed to concrete action to fulfill the goals of better sanitation.
Secretary (DWS) chaired a session Reaching the Un-reached. He pointed out that poor, marginalised,
vulnerable communities have very limited access to WASH services in South Asian Countries. In the
spirit of the UN General Assembly resolution, South Asian governments must facilitate sanitation services
that are accessible, affordable, appropriate, acceptable and safe.
A presentation was made by Ms. Pratima Gupta, Director on Reaching the Unreached; India Context.
She highlighted the provisions made by GoI for marginalised group under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan(NBA).
The India Country presentation was made by Shri Saraswati Prasad, Joint Secretary (Sanitation). He
mentioned the key achievements made by India and issues related to Sanitation. The Joint Declaration
issued at the end of the Conference, signed by all member States highlighted the action to be taken to
achieve the targets of sanitation in the SAARC region in the coming years to move towards universal
sanitation coverage.
76
The South Asian Conference on Sanitation (SACOSAN), a government-led biennial convention held
on a rotational basis in each SAARC member country, provides an interactive platform for improving
sanitation in South Asia. The first conference was held in Bangladesh in 2003, the second in Pakistan in
2006, the third in India in 2008 and the fourth in Sri Lanka in 2011. The fifth South Asian Conference
on Sanitation, SACOSAN-V was organized by the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Urban Development
with the theme Sanitation for All: All for Sanitation.
SACOSAN V brought together high level policy makers from every country in South Asia with
representatives of community leaders to discuss regional, national and local sanitation andhygiene actions,
set future actions and share ideas. Three hundred and fifty country delegates and fifty experts from
regional and global agencies participated in this conference.
To informally kick off the conference, a public opening was held at Bhaktapur which was also declared
an Open Defecation Free District on the same day. About 200 conference delegates attended the Public
Opening Ceremony.
Over a period of three days, the SACOSAN-V conference programme offered an impressive list of
presenters in various sessions. All countries presented on a different topic, based on a country paper
prepared and shared in advance. Eight technical focus sessions helped foster a regional perspective and
agenda on sanitation in South Asia.
The conference became a valuable, enriching and unique event and an excellent opportunity to meet and
socialize with colleagues from different parts of the globe. For the first time in the history of SACOSAN,
participants who could not be in the conference venue could participate through the virtual conference.
77
Similarly, a separate session for grass root voices added value and eight people got a chance to express
their innovative ideas. Ministers and heads of delegates attended an informal meeting with experts and
expressed their views, in this way getting involved in the declaration process.
Delegates were also given the opportunity to attend field visits across three sites around Nepal. Thirty seven
delegates visited Kavre (Sarada Batase), twenty six visited Kavre (Nala) and thirty three visited Pokhara
where local people displayed great hospitality and showed their works. Country exhibiters, partners and
internal agencies, side event organizers and the media team also added much value to the conference.
The conference was completed successfully, aided greatly by the efforts of member countries and all
stakeholders. The conference concluded with a declaration signed by all the head ofdelegations with call
for ODF South Asia and sustainable sanitation. The next SACOSAN (VI) will be organized and hosted
by the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh in November 2015.
Visit of Indian delegation to the World Water Week at Stockholm, Sweden
The delegation from the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, led by Shri
Pankaj Jain, Secretary, MDWS and consisting of Shri Sujoy Mojumdar, Director, MDWS, participated
in the World Water Week in Sweden from 1-9-2013 to 4-9-2013.
Shri Pankaj Jain Secretary, MDWS Govt. of India spoke at the Session on the subject Making Evidence
Count in WASH. The issue under discussion in the Seminar was the fact that the WASH Evidence
base is complex and offers few easy answers to the issue of What Actually works in the field.
Shri Pankaj Jain, Secretary, MDWS, Govt. of
India gave a detailed talk on The challenge of
Behavioral Change. He stressed on the need to
remember that water supply and sanitation are
parts of social sector. He said we cannot simply
use mathematical formulae to achieve something
in social sector like WASH and it requires
much more feedback results. When peoples
social behavior is involved which needs to be
changed, this requires delicate handling. Shri
Jain explained the historical social perspective
of a particular type of behavior in India. He
explained that changing mindsets with respect to sanitation practices required a specific focused approach
and would take time. Sh. Jain explained that the 2011 census has shown that only 32.7% of rural
households have individual household toilets and India was the country with the most open defecation
in the world. He stressed on the need for a lot of continuous advocacy and hand holding to convince
people to construct and use toilets and stop open defecation. Shri Jain gave examples of innovations in
hardware, software, soft skills and advocacy that have been successful in India like designing of low cost
latrines. Another example of successful research and transfer of technology in the sanitation sector was
where the design of the toilet pan has been modified in such way to decrease the amount of water needed
to flush the system. Further the development of the design of the p-trap in rural toilets in India has
made such toilets more acceptable and user friendly. He also spoke of the various efforts at addressing
78
the problems of chemical contamination in ground water based drinking water supply schemes in India,
mainly arsenic and fluoride through treatment, and said that we have finally come to a stage where the
focus has now shifted to providing piped water supply from safe sources.
He spoke of the endeavor to learn from both
domestic and international best practices in
Water and Sanitation sectors to develop systems
that allow free flow of information from the
field to the policy maker. He spoke of important
Technological and Research Institutions in India,
like the Government run National Environmental
Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), which
is working on a wide range of issues on drinking
water quality, and the privately owned Sulabh
International, working on household and public
toilets, which are providing information useful
to Government and policy makers. Finally, Shri
Jain urged for close collaboration between researchers, policy makers and implementers so that the best
of knowledge can be leveraged for the betterment of the population.
The speech of Shri Jain, Secretary MDWS was reported in the World Water Week Daily Report, issued
on Monday, 2nd September, 2013.
The delegation met with representatives of multilateral institutions like WSP and UNICEF and various
stakeholders working on water and sanitation like the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
and the Sanitation and Water For All (SWA).
Visit of Indian delegation to Spain
An Indian delegation led by Shri Pankaj Jain, Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation,
(MDWS), Government of India, visited Spain on an official visit from 5-9-2013 to 6-9-2013. The
delegation met a Spanish Government Delegation headed by Mr. Federico Ramos de Armas, Director
General Secretary of State for Environment, Government of Spain.
During the meetings, Mr. Pankaj Jain, Secretary,
MDWS explained the officials from Spain in
detail, the status of drinking water supply and
sanitation in rural areas of India. He mentioned
that over 800 million people have access to
40 lpcd drinking water supply in rural India.
He stated that issues of drinking water quality
especially chemical contamination with arsenic,
fluoride and heavy metals still remain and there
was much to do to improve water quality in India
even in areas where over 40 lpcd is supplied. The
79
present role of Private Sector in extending the rural infrastructure for drinking water supply in India was
also explained. It was informed that both the water sector is essentially funded from Govt. resources in
India and most of the schemes are implemented through Lump-sum Turn Key (LSK) contracts using the
Engineering, Procurement & Construction(EPC) gateway through private contractors after open tendering.
The D.G. (Secretary of State) of Spain explained
in detail the capacity that exists in Spain, with
regard to drinking water supply and sanitation
services. He informed that Spain has expertise
in de-salination technology. Spain like India
has a federal setup but drinking water supply
infrastructure is managed on the river basin
concept with River Basin Authorities with
authority over geographical areas covering more
than 1 regional government. He also stated that
advanced waste water treatment expertise was
also available from which India could gain as, as
per his information, India is still infant in this sector. Regarding, Sanitation he informed that household
sanitation was not a problem in Spain. However, large scale drainage systems were still not available in all
rural areas in the country. This was now one of the key focal points of activities of his department. He
also indicated that water quality monitoring, testing and control is highly advanced in Spain and suggested
that Secretary DWS should visit Barcelona where one of the best testing laboratories is located, which
could also help India in setting up its new International Centre of Drinking Water Quality at Kolkata.
The Indian Delegation made a field visit and studied the Viveros de la Villa WWTP (Wastewater
Treatment Plant and Reuse Facility in Madrid) Facility owned by Canal De Isabel II Gestion (integral
water Cycle Management Company, Region of Madrid.).
