Provision of safe drinking water is a
basic necessity and has been a major topic for key political
discourses in the country over the last decade. The
Government of India has been focusing on safe drinking water
since 1972-73 when it introduced the Accelerated Rural Water
Supply Program (ARWSP) to assist States and Union
Territories to accelerate the coverage of drinking water in
the country. Despite increased outlays since then, access to
safe drinking water in India remains a challenge. Apart from
access, water quality and sustainability of resources (water
points and infrastructure developed) are issues of major
concern. The National Rural Drinking Water Program (NRDWP),
which is supplementing the efforts of the State Governments
by providing technical and financial assistance, is looking
at rural drinking water from a holistic viewpoint. The
Ministry has shifted its focus from hand pumps to piped
water supply systems with the aim of providing monitored
clean water and is focusing on those States which have low
levels of piped water supply. The Water and Sanitation
Program has compiled an excellent collection of success
stories and best practices from the States of Kerala,
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Punjab and
Uttarakhand which address these key constraints. Some of
these success stories, such as the Asoga village
intervention in Karnataka which showcases a unique demand
driven approach to facilitate participatory decision making
leading to community ownership, the Bidholi piped water
supply scheme in Uttarakhand which manages and recovers 100
per cent operation and maintenance costs from the community,
the Shikayat Nivaran Kendra experiment in Punjab which uses
information technology for online web enabled centralised
complaint redressal and the Water and Sanitation Management
Organisation experiment in Gujarat where the registered body
acts as a facilitator in developing water and sanitation
facilities owned and managed by communities, are all
outstanding examples of how to address various challenges
and shortcomings the program is facing. |
