ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 2017-18, PHED

INTRODUCTION

Public Health Engineering Department was bifurcated from the erstwhile PWD and

became a full-fledged Department in 1974. As per the Rules of Executive Business, the PHED

is responsible for providing safe and potable drinking water supply, safe disposal of solid and

liquid waste and environmental hygiene.

Water is best known as the elixir of life and its importance is crucial for equitable

growth and development. Water being a natural resource is often left unattended and

neglected. It is, however, becoming a scarce resource due to overuse and misuse. The

Department has therefore, been consistently striving to augment the existing water supply

systems, regulate proper water distribution, manage water sources, implement roof top

rainwater harvesting, rejuvenate traditional wells in water scarce areas and providing material

and financial assistance to Water and Sanitation (WATSAN) Committees managing rural water

supply systems to further the objective of providing safe, adequate and sustainable drinking

water.

Alongside implementing drinking water supply schemes in both rural and urban areas,

the Department under the Water and Sanitation Support Organization (WSSO) also

implements sanitation programme and conducts ample seminars and workshops to educate

the masses on the importance of sanitation in rural habitations to achieve Open Defecation

Free status for ensuring the ultimate goal of good community health. More impetus has been

given to sanitation sector with the launching of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Clean India

Mission) by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India during October 2014.

ORGANIZATIONAL SET UP OF PHED

The Department is headed by a Chief Engineer at the Directorate level with 3 (three)

Circles, 14 (fourteen) Divisions and 42 (forty two) Sub Divisions. The Department has a total of

1640 Regular Employees and 1907 Work Charged Employees as in February 2018 to carry out

various Departmental schemes.

The Department has a centrally sponsored Water and Sanitation Support Organization

(WSSO) headed by a Director, at the level of Additional Chief Engineer, which looks after

Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), Support Activities and Water Quality Monitoring &

Surveillance (WQMS) of the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP).

Ground water exploration

Most drinking water sources in Nagaland are surface water based, such as rivers, streams, springs and

ponds, and the systems are either gravity feed or pumping. Many habitations do not have viable surface

water sources, and depletion of water sources is a common and distressing phenomenon. Augmenting

water supply in such habitations as well as providing new water supply facilities to non - covered

habitations through ground water sources is an option which the department is implementing since

2013-14, by way of constructing deep tube wells, and incorporating Water Treatment Plants (Iron

Removal Plants or IRPs) and water distribution systems, to render water safe and easily accessible to the

community.

SWACHH BHARAT MISSION (GRAMIN)

To accelerate the efforts to achieve universal sanitation coverage and to put focus on sanitation, the Prime Minister of India launched the “Swachh Bharat Mission” on 2nd October, 2014 which replaces the erstwhile Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (Total Sanitation Campaign). Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) aims to achieve Clean India by 2019, as a fitting tribute to the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. This Mission aims at improving the level of cleanliness in rural areas through Solid and Liquid Waste Management activities and making Gram Panchayats/ villages Open Defecation Free (ODF), clean and sanitary. The department has verified 677 villages as Open Defecation Free (ODF) villages as per the declaration made by the Village Council and department Verification team report. The Department have declared 4(four) Districts as ODF Districts viz. Kiphire, Longleng, Mokokchung and Zunheboto. 5(five) districts are targeted to achieve ODF Districts by end of March 2018 namely, Dimapur, Kohima, Peren, Phek and Wokha.

SUPPORT ACTIVITIES UNDER NRDWP i) Information Education and Communication (IEC): With the objective to trigger positive behavioral changes among stakeholders with respect to hygiene, use of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities, the Department through WSSO and the DWSMs, have been intensifying its Swachh Bharat Mission through various platforms such as NGOs, Women Organizations, Schools etc. Some activities aimed at awareness creation are: Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Inter Personal Communication (IPC), Rallies and workshops that provide for greater involvement and participation of the beneficiaries at grassroots levels. The main goal of the Department is for enabling and empowering the rural community to involve, have greater sense of belonging and to take more active role in shouldering the responsibility of managing effectively the water and sanitation systems in the villages. Extensive IEC campaign is being carried forward through diverse activities in collaboration with several NGOs and Schools. Our activities are mainly PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) exercises and inter-personal Communication in village levels. Sanitation Rallies propagation of Sanitation messages and conducting pledges taking in various functions, creating awareness creation through media publicity, roadside hoardings, distribution of IEC booklets/ pamphlets, putting up IEC Slogans through State Transport Buses, inter district exposure trips, telecasting of audio visual sanitation documentaries through DDK. All India Radio, TV cables etc. unlike the usual IEC activities which often do not go deep enough into the grass root level, activities such as PRA Exercise, which the department is carrying out in many villages covering all districts of the State provides excellent opportunity to involve the villagers so as to ponder on the existing states/ problems of water and sanitation in the village and on the measures that can be taken up for bringing about a solution.

Swachh Sanklap week was held between 17th August to 8th September 2017, a nationwide event, essay compilation, short film competition and painting competition were held under the overall banner. Nagaland bagged 1st Position in essay competition under 18 years by Miss Ellen Konyak and also 3rd prize in the category of short film was bagged by Mr. Tiakumzuk- Dreamz Unlimited

Global Hand Washing Day, World Toilet day Swachh Skhati weeks are observed across the state. Bringing a bigger platform to create awareness and effective participation.

pg. 21


ii) Human Resource Development : WSSO and District Water and Sanitation Missions (DWSMs) also conducted training

on various subjects for different levels of stake holders for increasing capacity for effective implementation of various NRDWP and SBM (Gramin) schemes. GENDER BUDGETING: There is no programme dedicated to Gender Budgeting, however there are provisions for participation, empowerment and improvement of the quality of life of women in the rural areas such as:

The Nagaland Communitisation of Water and Sanitation in Rural Habitations Rules, 2003 stipulates that Water & Sanitation Committee should consist of at least one woman representative, which would provide a platform to voice concerns of womenfolk in decision making process in selection, planning, implementation and operation & maintenance of water and sanitation schemes.

Involvement and participation of womenfolk and women NGOs in awareness campaigns since they are the most affected section in society in matters concerning water and sanitation.

By providing drinking water and sanitation facilities through various programmes and plans, quality of life of women in many rural habitations are improved. They no longer need to walk long distances to fetch water and are in a better position to devote more time to other activities.

iii) Integrated Management Information System (IMIS)

The Department has an Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), sponsored by the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation, Government of India, through which the Ministry monitor all centrally sponsored programmes. Online submission and monitoring of physical & financial progress reports, completion reports, updating information & data relating to water supply and sanitation, and correspondence with the Ministry are performed by IMIS Section.

WATER QUALITY MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE UNDER NRDWP :

Recognizing the importance and urgency of addressing drinking water quality problems in the country, the Govt. of India is addressing the problem in an ambitious way, especially with the ultimate objective of institutionalizing community participation in all rural habitations in water quality monitoring and surveillance. The initiative includes steps for tackling water quality problems from two pronged approach: 20% of the annual NRDWP funds is earmarked for tackling water quality problems in the villages, and 3% for Water Quality Monitoring & Surveillance (WQMS) to ensure quality of water under which village level functionaries are trained on water quality aspects-sampling, testing and monitoring to ensure safe drinking water at all times.

The emphasis of WQMS is on regular testing and documentation of test results which are correlated with the health status of the inhabitants so as to ensure reduction and control of water borne diseases which are easily preventable through consumption of safe drinking water. Normally water samples are tested twice in a year for Bacteriological and once for Chemical contamination. Results are submitted online on the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation official website through IMIS on regular basis.

REVENUE COLLECTION

The Department generates revenue by way of water fees from registered water consumers, mostly from urban areas of the State. Water fees from rural water consumers are collected by the WATSAN Committees which augment the internal resources of the Committees for O&M of the village water and sanitation facilities, and therefore, do not contribute to the Department revenue. The Department is striving to improve the service delivery and increase the quantum of water availability in urban water supply schemes through better O&M. Considerable improvement in water revenue is visible over the last few years.

MEASURES FOR MOBILIZATION OF WATER REVENUE The PHED collects water fee or revenue from registered water supply consumers in Urban Towns. Water Fees in rural habitations are collected by the WATSAN Committees for O&M of their water supply systems, as per provisions of Nagaland Rural Water and Sanitation Rules. Recognizing the importance of internal revenue mobilization in the State, the Department have initiated various measures to enhance its revenue, some of which are: Verification of water revenue collection system in major urban towns by Department

appointed Revenue Review Teams. Findings and suggestions of the teams are being analyzed which will help improve not only the revenue collection systems but also improve the quality of service delivery to water consumers.

Identification of unauthorized pipe connections, tampering of water pipes and pilferage of water- Unauthorized connections, when detected, are registered and are now being served with water bills. Efforts are on to plug tampering of pipes and water pilferage with the support of local ward authorities.

Department officers and staff in charge of water distribution system and revenue

sections are being sensitized on the importance of delivering better services to the consumers.

Commercial establishments such as hotels, restaurants, private schools, private clinics

etc. which are registered as Domestic Consumers are being brought under Commercial Consumer category.

Water meters will be installed in all major urban towns of the State and progressive water tariff structure will be introduced.

Efforts are on to improve water supply systems in 19 ADC headquarters which will eventually be managed by the PHED and water fees will be collected from registered consumers. This exercise will be extended to all ADC and SDO (Civil) headquarters. Computerized billing system for water fees has been introduced in Kohima town during 2016-17 which would eliminate human errors and thereby improve revenue collection efficiency. It is planned to be replicated in other major revenue earing towns of the State.

PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AND STREAMLINING RECRUITMENT

The Department is manned by 1640 Regular Officers/Staff and 1907 Work Charged employees as in February 2018. The personal bio-data such as Name, Father's name, Native Village, Designation/Rank, Date of appointment, Date of Birth, Place of posting, Date of posting to the present Office, Basic pay scale and total monthly emolument are being stored in computer record which enable the department to update their status at any point of time and also help to assess fund requirement for establishment cost from time to time. This also help to identify the number of staff in each village, town and under each office with their tenure in that office, and also tribe-wise census in the department. All regular employees possess Government Photo Identity Cards, while work charged employees in PHED are issued Photo Identity Cards containing complete Bio Data with a Unique Code Number. This data-base help prepare category wise seniority, date of retirement etc. All these personnel information are now managed through the State Personnel Information Management System (PIMS) of P & AR department.
