National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) The importance of ensuring adequate and safe drinking water to a nation’s population is paramount. With that aim the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) was started in 2009, to ensure water availability in terms of potability, adequacy, convenience, affordability and equity.

The Ministry is currently focusing on tightening supervision of implementation of the programme at the Central level. There is renewed focus on achieving 100% Piped Water Supply to households in a time bound manner through intensive monitoring of the water supply schemes. Consequently, the Ministry has upgraded its Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) and the focus has shifted from habitation wise monitoring approach to a scheme wise one.

Efforts are underway to strengthen the implementation of the NRDWP, make it more outcome oriented and focused on sustainability. To ensure that desired outcomes are achieved in quicker time frame, the Ministry has recommended priority financing of schemes which are in advanced stages of completion (those which are 75% and above complete and those which are 50%-75% complete).

About 77 percent of rural habitations in India have achieved a fully covered (FC) status (40 litres per capita per day), under the NRDWP, and 55 percent of the rural population have

access to tap water. In addition, the Ministry has taken special steps to address the issue of water quality in the schemes. A sub-mission programme is being implemented that aims to eliminate the problems of water quality, by 2020, in about 28,000 habitations affected by Arsenic and Fluoride. In the next phase, the MoDWS will focus on other contaminants such as nitrate, salinity, iron.

To strengthen Integrated Water Resources Management, the Ministry is coordinating the implementation of new Under Graduate and Post Graduate courses focused on holistic water management at engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh. These will then be scaled across of the country.

Swachh Bharat Mission – GraminAccess to safe sanitation and ending of the practice of open defecation is critical for India, as it has been linked with several health issues, especially among children. According to various studies, lack of safe sanitation is a significant contributor to under five mortality, and is responsible for the physical and cognitive stunting of over 40% of India’s children. This is not allowing a large proportion of our children to achieve their full potential, and is an impediment in the overall development of the country. Open defecation is also a threat to the safety and dignity of women.

With the aim of achieving an Open Defecation Free (ODF) and clean India by 2nd October

2019, the Hon’ble Prime Minister launched the Swachh Bharat Mission, focusing on outcomes of ODF, instead of outputs of toilet construction. The Mission is centered on behavior change and community participation, with the aim of making sanitation “everyone’s business”.

Since launch, remarkable progress has been made in accelerating rural sanitation coverage and creating ODF communities. The rural sanitation coverage that stood at just 42% at the start of the Mission, is now over 60%. In FY 2016-17 alone, rural sanitation coverage has seen an increase of over eight percentage points. As on 1st February 2017, a total of 1,51,451 villages, 85 districts and three states have been declared ODF (up from 53,973 villages, 9 districts and one state at the start of FY 2016-17).

Following are some of the important initiatives undertaken by the Ministry in FY 2016-17:

1. Capacity building, knowledge sharing and monitoring:

�� Trainings in Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) through Virtual Classrooms

�� Young professionals (Zila Swachh Bharat Preraks) are being deployed in all districts of India sponsored by a leading private sector philanthropic organization

�� All villages along the banks of the Ganga being prioritized to be made ODF by 31st March 2017

�� Launch of Swachh Sangrah, a central knowledge management portal

�� Several national and state level events and workshops for BDOs, collectors and Principal Secretaries on sanitation, technology and Solid and Liquid Waste Management

�� SwachhApp and real-time dashboard are available in public domain

�� National Level Monitors and Independent Verification Agency for central verification

2. Inter-Ministerial collaborations

�� Over 50 Ministries motivated preparing a Swachhta Action Plan (SAP) with a budget line

�� 100 Swachh Iconic Places (SIP) to attain the highest levels of Swachhta

�� Swachh Swastha Sarvatra, a collaboration with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Collaboration with Department of School Education and Literacy to include a chapter on sanitation in schools curriculum and co-curricular activities

�� Collaborations with Ministry of Petroleum and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for improving sanitation along highways

The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is the nodal Ministry for the overall policy, planning, funding and coordination of the flagship programmes of the Government of India viz. the National Rural Drinking Water Programme(NRDWP) for rural drinking water supply and the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) [SBM(G)] for sanitation in the country.

1.1 National Rural Drinking Water Programme

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 focuses on the creation of the infrastructure, ensuring service delivery and sustainability of water supply schemes. This has resulted in the provision of significant additional resources for the water sector. In addition, the NRDWP has created an environment for the development of infrastructure and capacities for the successful operation of drinking water supply schemes in rural areas.

1.2 Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin)

Intervention in the rural sanitation sector in India was initially started in the year 1954 as a part

of the First Five Year Plan of the Government of India. The Government of India introduced a structured scheme in the form of the Central Rural Sanitation Programme (CRSP) in 1986 primarily with the objective of providing access to sanitation for all. From 1999, a “demand driven” approach under the “Total Sanitation Campaign” (TSC) that emphasized Information, Education and Communication (IEC), Human Resource Development (HRD), Capacity Development activities to increase awareness among rural Indians andgeneration of demand for sanitary facilities was started. The “Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan” (NBA) the successor programme of the TSC, was launched from 1.4.2012, and aimed at creating Nirmal villages. Though these programmes had their successes, there still remained a large portion of the rural population which did not have access to toilets.

The Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) was launched on 2nd October, 2014 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. The focus of the new programme is to move towards a ‘Swachh Bharat’ by providing flexibility to State governments (sanitation being a State subject), to decide on their implementation policy and mechanisms, taking

into account State-specific requirements. This is to enable States to develop an Implementation Framework that can utilise the provisions under the Mission effectively and maximize the impact of the interventions as per local requirements and conditions.

1.2.1 Swachh Bharat Mission (Co-ordination)

Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation (MDWS) has been assigned the additional task of coordinating and convening for the whole Swachh Bharat Mission. The agenda under this role is constantly growing in recent months and several special initiatives are being taken up under this role.Swachhta Action Plans (SAPs) are being developed for each Ministry and Department. Swachhta Pakhwada is being observed by all Ministries and Departments as per a calendar and under a format. Swachh Iconic Places (SIPs) have been planned and implemented. This additional role requiresmassive social mobilization and rigorous Inter-Ministry, Inter -sector and centre-state coordination. Some of the coordination work has fast developed into full-fledged projects and programmes, monitored by PMO/Cabinet Secretary. MDWS is working with Ministry of Human Resource Development on school sanitation and student and curriculum integration; with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to develop Swachh PHCs; with Ministry of Women and Child Development for Swachh Anganwadis and for greater women’s role in Swachh Bharat Mission; with Ministry of Railways for clean railway stations, trains and tracks; and with Ministry of PNG and Ministry of Road and Transport to create segregated toilet facilities

at petrol pumps along National Highways - to name a few.

‘Rural drinking water supply’ is a State subject and it 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 Panchayati Raj Institutions in the rural drinking water supply sector is an important area of focus.

Government of India’s 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 was introduced in 1986, with focus on water quality, appropriate technology intervention, human resource development support. The mission 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, management and monitoring of drinking water schemes which was scaled up in 2002 as the Swajaldhara Programme.

In 2005, a campaign was launched by the Government of India as a programme to build rural water supply infrastructure. While the

Phase-I of the programme was implemented from 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 this programme.

2.1 National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP):

A revised Programme, the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), was launched on 01.04.2009. NRDWP is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at providing adequate and safe drinking water to the rural population of the country. This has resulted in the provision of significant additional resources to the sector and created an environment for the development of infrastructure and capacity for the sustainable supply of safe drinking water in rural areas.

Subsequently, the NRDWP was modified in 2012.Focusing on the redressal of the water quality related problems, 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

1949The Environment Hygiene Committee (1949) (Bhor Committee) recommended the provision of safe water supply to cover 90 per cent of India’s population in a timeframe of 40 years.

1950 The Constitution of India specifies water as a State subject.

1969National Rural Drinking Water Supply Programme was launched with technical support from UNICEF and Rs.254.90 crore was spent during this phase with 1.2 million bore wells dug and 17,000 piped water supply schemes provided.

1972-73Introduction of the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) by the Government of India to assist States and Union Territories to accelerate the pace of coverage of drinking water supply.

1981India as a party to the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990) declaration sets up a national level Apex Committee to define policies to achieve the goal of providing safe water to all villages.

1986The National Drinking Water Mission (NDWM) launched to accelerate the process of coverage of the country with drinking water.

1987First National Water Policy drafted by Ministry of Water Resources giving first priority to drinking water supply.

1991The National Drinking Water Mission (NDWM) renamed as Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission (RGNDWM).

1994The 73rd Constitution Amendment makes provision for assigning the responsibility of providing drinking water to the Panchayati Raj Institutions.

1999

• Formation of separate Department of Drinking Water Supply in the Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. of India.

• For ensuring sustainability of the systems, steps are initiated to institutionalize community participation in the implementation of rural drinking water supply schemes through sector reform. Sector Reform ushers in a paradigm shift from the ‘Government-oriented supply-driven approach’ to the ‘People-oriented demand driven approach’. The role of the government reoriented from that of service provider to facilitator.

Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) as a part of reform principles initiated in 1999 to ensure sanitation facilities in rural areas with the specific goal of eradicating the practice of open defecation. TSC gives strong emphasis on Information, Education and Communication, Capacity Building and Hygiene Education for effective behavioural change with involvement of PRIs, CBOs, and NGOs

2002

• 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 of ARWSP for focused funding of quality affected habitations.

2007 Pattern of funding under Swajaldhara changed: 50:50 Centre-State shares.

2009National Rural Drinking Water Programme launched from 1/4/2009 by modifying the earlier Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme and subsuming earlier sub Missions, Miscellaneous Schemes and mainstreaming Swajaldhara principles.

2010Department of Drinking Water Supply renamed as Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation

2011Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation upgraded as to the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation

2012Twelfth five - year plan focusing on piped water supply with 55 LPCD, earmarking of 5% funds for coverage of quality affected as well as 60 JE/AES affected districts

2013Launch of special Programme to address the rural water supply and sanitation issues of four low income States with collaboration of World Bank.

2014 Focus on Innovationsin rural drinking water

2016Focus on reforms in NRDWP to make it more outcome. Performance linked financing of the programme while keeping in mind that States with limited revenues and average performance are not left behind as well.

2.1.4 Current StatusUnder the Eleventh Five Year Plan, it was decided that the major issues which need tackling during this period are 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) Combined focus on drinking water supply and sanitation.

�� In the last five years (12th five year plan period) from 01.04.2012 till 31.12.2016, the percentage of fully covered habitations has increased from 73.9% to 77.2% (i.e. net increase of 91,668 Nos. of Fully Covered habitations).

The following challenges have led to a slower than expected growth

(a) The depletion of ground water level due to excessive extraction by competitive sector such as Agriculture / Industry,

(b) Reduction of water bodies and its storage capacity due to silting,

(c) Successive droughts and inconsistent rains,

(d) Pollution of water bodies because of increased use of pesticides / fertilizers and effluents from

industry, most of them are beyond the direct control of implementing agencies of the States.

�� In the above period, partially covered habitations have decreased from 19.8% to 18.8%.

�� In the above period, quality affected habitations have decreased from 6.3% to 4.0%.

2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan

�� Solar Energy based Dual Pumps for Piped Water Supply Scheme (PWSS): The Ministry in collaboration with National Clean Energy Funds (NCEF) has supported the installation of 10,000 solar energy based dual pumps PWSS in remote habitations targeted for Integrated Action Plan Districts (IAP). The initiative has been successful and 15,400 solar energy based dual pumps PWSS are being supported with assistance from Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in 2016-17 in remote areas across all States wherein the electricity supply has not reached yet, or it is irregular.

�� Focus is on surface water based schemes rather than on hand pumps / tube wells / ground water based schemes.This will decrease the pressure on ground water extraction and also ensure potability of water.

�� Focus on piped water supply through

stand posts.

�� Commencement of the National Water Quality Sub-Mission focused on provision of clean drinking water to Arsenic and Fluoride affected habitations. The Sub-Mission will be monitored intensively through its dedicated website and dashboard.

�� Intensified focus onincreasing household connections through extensive IEC (Information Education & Communication).

�� Enhancement of service levels for rural water supply from the present norm of 40 LPCD to 55 LPCD for designing of systems commensurate to availability of water sources and funds.

�� 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.

�� 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.

�� Priority water supply to LWE areas, Minority areas.

�� ISO 9001:2008: The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification on 27/09/2015.

�� Ministry has implemented e-office dispensing the movement of documents and files in physical forms increasing the transparency, accountability and speed of the work.

�� Third party evaluation of functionality of schemes:

�� Through NITI Aayog, a study has been conducted to understand the performance of 50 completed drinking water supply schemes from 6 States covering at least 10 schemes from areas affected by Arsenic / Fluoride. The study will also assess the model of Operations & Maintenance, levels of tariff collection, methods of water treatment, levels of quality and status of source of water. There are encouraging feedback and also some concern.

�� Further, the Ministry has assigned the task of assessing the functionality of the schemes (Single Village Schemes & Multi Village Schemes) to the Quality Council of India (QCI). QCI will study the ongoing water supply schemes in 5,600 villages and report the on ground functionality vis-à-vis the existing data reported on the IMIS.

�� Similarly, the Ministry has hired the services of a professional agency for a regular assessment of ongoing water supply schemes (National Level Monitoring), service delivery

aspects and overall satisfaction level among the rural population.

�� Strengthening Integrated Water Resource Management:

�� Following the directions of the PMO, a Committee under the convenorship of Secretary, MDWS was formed. The Committee, which consisted of Government and Domain experts, deliberated on various issues pertaining to Integrated Water Resource Management and charted a way forward. The committee, in order to broaden the scope of holistic water education decided to look into Integrated Water Resource Management and Water education in the country.

�� The Committee decided to focus on strengthening water management and recommended the formation of a Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee dealing with the Rewa Engineering College has prepared draft curricula for, an undergraduate subject on IWRM as a part of the Civil Engineering degree; two post-graduate courses on Water Engineering and Water Management respectively. The curricula will be implemented at Rewa Engineering College by the end of March 2017.

2.1.10 Annual Action Plans (AAPs): Planning for 2016-17

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 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 2016-17 were held in the month of March, 2016 among representatives of the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation, Government of India and the State government officials.

From the year 2012-13 onwards, the on-line formats for Annual Action Plan got fully established and were 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 released funds, after their AAP was prepared and the target habitations identified on the online IMIS. On the basis of the AAPs, the States executed the activities under the NRDWP during the year. The process of preparing, discussing and implementation of the AAPs for the NRDWP, provided a framework for proper targeting and monitoring of the funds provided by the Government of India. The AAP along with online reporting of achievements 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.

2.1.11 Strategy 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 2016-17, Rs. 1320 crore (22% of total allocation of Rs. 6000 crore) is earmarked for expenditure for SCs and Rs. 600 crore (10% of total allocation of Rs. 6000 crore) is earmarked for expenditure for STs. Out of the above mentioned amounts, as on 31.12.2016, Rs.906.61 crore has been released to States for coverage of SC and ST populations.

identified 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 prioritized taking up rural water supply projects in these districts.

As on 01.04.2016, out of the 17.14 lakh rural habitations in the country, there are 3,43,591 habitations in IAP districts. Out of these, 2,74,571 habitations are fully covered (79.91%). 59,829 habitations (17.41%) are partially covered. Further 9,191 habitations (2.67%) are quality affected.

In 2016-17, under the NRDWP, Rs. 271.99 crores have been released to State governments to IAP districts, targeting 7,294 habitations for coverage. As on 31.12.2016, 8001habitations have been covered.

2.1.12 Solar dual pumps in Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts

The Ministry is collaborating with the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) to install solar dual pumps in 88 Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts of the country. The cost of one solar dual pump unit is about approx. Rs 5 lakh. The fund sharing pattern between MDWS and States is 40(NCEF):30 (NRDWP Central):30(NRDWP State).

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. Under this scheme, 10,571 Nos. solar pumps have been installed.

2.2 Water Quality (WQ) activities

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 International Centre for Drinking Water Quality (ICDWQ) at Joka, Diamond Harbour Road, Kolkata. ICDWQ has been registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 in New Delhi. The ICDWQ would be fully funded and administered under the overall guidance of the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India. The proposal was approved by Government of India in 2013.

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 and fluoride and 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 of people, networking with all related organizations, promotion of doctoral and post-doctoral studies on drinking water quality issues etc. It will cater to both Rural and urban areas in India. In addition, the Centre will also assist other Countries in case of need.

Executive Council (EC) of ICDWQ, in its 4th meeting held on 24th Aug 2015, decided to hand over the complete design, construction and development activities of ICDWQ to CPWD, Kolkata. The task has been sub-

contracted to the construction agency by CPWD, Kolkata and the work is underway. The estimated civil, structural and electrical costs for the ICDWQ is Rs 96 crore.

2.2.2 Scheme for providing safe drinking water supply through community water purification plants in fluoride and arsenic affected rural habitations in the country

The Ministry has prepared a Strategy Plan to provide safe drinking water to 90% of the rural population of the country preferably through surface water based piped water supply schemes by the year 2022 as a long-term sustainable solution, subject to availability of funds. The National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) funds for supplying “safe” drinking 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).

The Ministry has informed all the States to commission surface water based piped water supply schemes in all water quality affected habitations as a long term sustainable solution. However, since commissioning of Piped Water Supply projects may take 3-5 years and the rural people cannot be put to risk of consuming contaminated water during this period, all States have been advised to install community water purification plants, in reported arsenic and fluoride affected habitations by March 2017. This is being done as a short term immediate measure for providing 8-10 LPCD (litre per capita per day) of safe water for drinking and cooking purposes only.

Since the allocation of the Ministry was reduced during 2015-16, NITI Ayog has released Rs 1000 crore as a one-time Central assistance for this purpose which also includes funds for last mile connectivity of piped water supply schemes in Rajasthan and West Bengal, which are respectively affected most by fluoride and arsenic contaminations in drinking water.

Against the funds released with the recommendation of NITI Aayog, States have not yet updated their information into the online IMIS (Format-C-40A). As on 31/12/2016, community water purification plants have been commissioned only in 35 arsenic affected

habitations and in 188 fluoride affected habitations using these funds. Progress on this aspect will be reviewed continuously and will improve considerably by March’ 2017.

As informed by the States, so far, 8,226 number of Community Water Purification Plants, mostly using Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology, have been reported installed till 31.12.2016 under NRDWP. Most of the RO Plants have been set up in States of Karnataka (7073) followed by, Rajasthan (250), Punjab (245), and Andhra Pradesh (212). Few snapshots of these plants are shown below:

2.2.3 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 was aimed at empowering rural communities by the following activities:1. Creating 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.

2. In each Gram Panchayat,training five grass root workers, which may be ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, science teachers, high school girl children, panchayat members, retired army officials, etc.

3. 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.

4. Provision of water testing kit for each Gram Panchayat.

For the above mentioned purposes, 100%

financial assistance has been provided to the States. Fromthe inception of the Programme till 31/12/2016, 4.99 lakh chemical kits, 119.52 lakh bacteriological vials have been purchased/ supplied, 44.63 lakh rural drinking water sources were tested by using these kits and 34.84 lakh persons (including Grass root 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 related 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 2016-17, the following achievements have been made (till 31.12.2016)

No. of FTKs chemical distributed

= 3,523

No. of bacteriological vials distributed/ Processed

= 2.22 lakh

No. of persons trained on using FTKs

= 1.45 lakh

No. of Sanitary surveys conducted

= 1,06,251

No. of sources tested using FTKs

= 3.71 lakh

It is expected that by March’ 2017, about five lakh water sources would be tested by the local people using FTKs and bacteriological vials.

2.2.4 Water Quality Testing LaboratoriesThe Ministry also provides support in set up of and strengthening of district level and sub-divisional laboratories in the States. As on 31.12.2016, 27 State level laboratories, 729 district laboratories, 279 Block level laboratories, 1,117 Sub divisional laboratories and 88 mobile testing laboratories have been set up by the States/ UTs using funds from 3% NRWDP funds (on 100% central assistance), from their own resources and from other sources. States have carried out testing of 21.25 lakh water samples during 2016-17 in these laboratories as reported on IMIS of the Ministry as on 31.12.2016.

All States have been asked to set up district level water quality testing laboratories by March’ 2017 wherever such facility is not available. It is expected that by March’ 2017, 26 lakh drinking water sources/samples will be tested.

2.2.5 Achievements in addressing water quality affected habitations:

During 2016-17, States had targeted to tackle 12,812 quality affected habitations of which 2,553 habitations have been covered till 31.12.2016. States have been requested to cover all the remaining arsenic and fluoride affected rural habitations by March 2017 by

Page 38: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

24

implementing either short term measures (community water purification plants) or by implementing long term measures (piped water supply schemes). The sustainable solution for water quality affected habitations is to provide Piped Water Supply (PWS) preferably using safe surface based drinking water sources. Many States have planned Mega Water Supply Schemes to provide drinking water

Details of Ground Water Prospects Maps Ground Water prospect maps 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.

The States have been advised to generate water quality data on a random basis but on uniform parameters in each district during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons for the same drinking water sources selected. Subsequently the data needs to be sentalong with the GPS coordinates of the source and the depth of tube-well so that ground water quality GIS layer could be inserted into the HGM maps. Many States are in advanced stage of ground water quality mapping (i.e. insertion of Ground water quality layer in HGM maps) and few States are in the process of providing relevant data to NRSC. Preparation of Prospect Maps has been completed and preparation of Water Quality Maps isongoing.

The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation (MoDWS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with Central Ground Water Board and National Remote Sensing Centre on 21st September 2015 for joint use of Geo-spatial Technology in Aquifer Mapping and Management.

2.2.7 Assistance to the States on Rural Drinking Water Treatment Technologies

The Ministry constituted a High Level Technical

Committee under the chairmanship of Padma Vibhusan Prof. R. A. Mashelkar, Ex. DG-CSIR, and Government of India to recommend innovative technologies in the field of Rural Drinking Water & Sanitation. The technologies and innovations were vetted by the Standing Committee on Technologies on Water and Sanitation chaired by Prof. R. A. Mashelkar, Ex. DG-CSIR.

The committee has till daterecommended about 40 technologies for adoption (30 for drinking water and 10 for sanitation). However, the technologies vetted by Prof. Mashelkar Committee are only suggestive in nature for the States because the final Decision on choice of technologies resides solely with the States.

To assist the States in getting familiarized with the latest technologies pertaining to Rural Drinking Water and Sanitation, the Ministry also organized exhibitions, which wereformally inaugurated by the Hon’ble Minister for Drinking Water and Sanitation and the Hon’ble Minister of State for Drinking Water and Sanitation.

2.2.8 Mitigation of Japanese Encephalitis/Acute Encephalitis (JE/AES)

JE/AES was reported from 171 endemic districts in 17 States of India.The National Programme on Prevention and Control of Japanese Encephalitis/Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (JE/AES) was started by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. The Health Ministry had identified 60 high priority JE/AES districts in five States - Assam, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, as indicated below:

The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation provides funds under the NRDWP-WQMS Earmarked Funds (bacteriological) (25% of NRDWP-5% Special Water Quality funds) for the high priority districts identified by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoH &FW). A set of detailed guidelines have also been issued by the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation indicating the activities to be undertaken. Major activities required to be taken up for provision of safe drinking water in JE/AES affected districts are as under: -

1. Sanitary inspection of all sources in the affected areas.

2. Raising of hand pump platforms.

3. Plugging all the leaks and cracks in the hand pump platforms and casing pipe.

4. Proper Solid and Liquid Waste management with clearing of soakage pits and drainage channel attached to the hand pumps.

5. Conversion of shallow public hand pumps into India Mark-II hand pumps.

6. Drilling of deep tube-wells, energizing them with 1 hp motor and pumping water into stand posts (with at least 4 taps) constructed nearby and adding bleaching

powder.

7. Disinfecting of all public drinking water sources.

8. Generation of awareness among the people to consume only safe drinking water and also inculcate the habit of boiling water before consuming.

9. Apart from these, household based piped water supply schemes from alternate safe surface/ground water sources could also be taken up by States on priority basis as the long term sustainable solution under 67% NRDWP-Coverage and Quality funds.

The Ministry has also made a special provision on its online IMIS to monitor the progress of utilization of NRDWP-WQMS Earmarked (bacteriological) funds in the affected States.

As reported by the States on IMIS of the Ministry as on 31.12.2016, States have spent Rs 44.63 crore (i.e. 58.39 %) of 76.43 crore released to JE/AES States affected under Water Quality Earmarked (bacteriological) funds.

2.2.9 NABL accreditation of laboratoriesThe Ministry convened a National Orientation Workshop for NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation of Drinking Water Quality Testing laboratories on April 10, 2015. Thereafter, four Regional level workshopswere organized to train the identified professionals for NABL accreditation.

NABL accreditation of the identified laboratories would be taken up in a phased-wise manner.

30

During Phase-I, 30 laboratories from different States have been identified for NABL accreditation. During 2015-16, the Ministry has requested the States to get at-least one laboratory accredited by NABL. After reviewing the achievements, during 2016-17, the Ministry has requested that the larger States to get four laboratories accredited by NABL and smaller States to get two laboratories accredited by NABL at the earliest so that the success can be replicated for other laboratories in due course of time.

Till date, 37 applications have been filed by States for NABL accreditation for State/district water quality testing laboratories. Out of these, 23 laboratories have been given NABL accreditation and process is ongoing in another 13 laboratories. The proposal of NABL accreditation for Dimapur district water quality testing laboratory has been put on hold as the corrective actions of NCs suggested by NABL have not been implemented till date.

2.2.10 Support Activities and Monitoring & Evaluation Framework:

2.2.10.1 Research and Development Projects

Research and Development in Water & Sanitation Sector are being promoted bysanctioning grants-in-aids to premier research & development Organizations, Universities, Colleges, and Autonomous Organizationsbased on the recommendations of Research & Development Advisory Committee (RDAC). During 2016-17, the total number of ongoing research and development projects in Water and Sanitation Sector were twenty one (21) and six (6) respectively. In Drinking Water Sector, five (5) projects have been completed, 08 (eight) are under process for formal closure and remaining eight (08) are under progress. In Sanitation Sector, four (04) projects are under process of closure and remaining 02 (two) are under progress.

2.2.10.2 Information, Education and Communication (IEC)

Under the NRDWP, the major focus has been providing potable drinking water to all the population within their premises in the rural India. To make people aware of the hazards of the various contaminants in the drinking water, benefits of saving and judicious use of the drinking water, Public Service broadcasts have been organized by the Ministry. These have been released over All India Radio and its regional network, Pvt. FM Channels, Doordarshan and its Regional Channels and also in the Pvt. Cable and Satellite channels.

A national level workshop was organized on 3rd January 2017 by the Honorable Minister of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj and

2.2.10.3 Key Resource Centres (KRCs)

The Ministry has identified institutions / organizations having domain knowledge and expertise in water and selected them as National Key Resource Centres (KRCs). National Key Resources Centres (NKRC) are key institutions engaged in capacity building, reorientation of different stakeholders, in dissemination of knowledge and information, documentation of best practices etc. to achieve the sectoral goal of drinking water security in rural areas.

KRCs provide technical guidance to State Water & Sanitation Missions (SWSM), Communication & Capacity Development

Unit (CCDU), Public Health Engineering Departments (PHEDs), Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and community organizations on issues and challenges of NRDW Programme. Key Resource Centres are identified by Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation based on the track record of national standing, experience, previous work and involvement of the concerned institutions/ organizations in the rural drinking water sector.

In total there are 54 Key Resource Centres recognized by Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation. Out of these, 11 KRCs work exclusively for drinking water, 7 for sanitation and capacity building and 36 work for both drinking water and sanitation. A total of 29 Training Programmes and 6 National/Regional Workshops have been taken-up in the year 2016-17.

3.1 Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin)

3.1.1 BackgroundThe Government launched Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) on 2nd October , 2014 to accelerate efforts to achieve universal sanitation coverage, improve cleanliness and eliminate open defecation in India by 2nd October 2019.The program is considered India’s biggest drive to improve sanitation, hygiene and cleanliness in the country. The

effectiveness of the Programme is predicated upon generating demand for toilets leading to their construction and sustained use by all the household members, leading to Open Defecation Free (ODF) communities and villages.It also aims to promote better hygiene behaviour amongst the population and improve cleanliness by initiating Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) projects in the villages of the country. This is to be bolstered with adequate implementation capacities in terms of trained personnel, financial incentives and

systems and procedures for planning and monitoring. The emphasis is on stronger focus on behaviour change interventions including interpersonal communication; strengthening implementation and delivery mechanisms down to the GP level; and giving States flexibility to design delivery mechanisms that take into account local cultures, practices, sensibilities and demands.A strong focus is also on mainstreaming sanitation among various stakeholders – government departments, civil society, corporate sector - making it everyone’s business and responsibility.

Hon’ble MOS(DWS), Shri Ramesh C. Jigajinagi expressing his views in a National workshop on Solid and Liquid Waste Management at Tiruvanataiepuram, Kerala. Sh. Parmeshwaran Iyer, Secy (DWS) and Sh. Saraswati Prasad, Additional Secretary and others were present.

Sanitation is mainly a behavioural issue. It involves change of mindset amongst people to stop open defecation and to adopt safe sanitation practices. Since this requires engagement of community and skill in facilitation, the process takes some time. The challenges pertain to capacity building at scale of the implementing machinery in inter-personal communication, continuing focus on community involvement and collective (i.e. village as a whole) behaviour change, promoting flexibility so that States take a lead and choose approach best suited to them, targeting district leadership so that Collectors lead the programme proactively, targeting important influencers like children, youth, women, specially abled citizens and faith leaders, promoting technological innovations,

making the campaign a Jan Andolan, converging other development schemes with sanitation to promote sustainability and having a robust monitoring and evaluation system to measure both outputs and outcomes.

In order to address the above challenges, a number of measures have been taken/being taken. These include:

�� Focus on behavior change: Community based collective behavior change has been mentioned as the preferred approach, although the States are free to choose the approach best suited to them. Focus is also on creation of completely ODF villages, rather than only on construction of individual toilets. This entails triggering the entire village into changing their behavior rather than dealing individually with beneficiaries.

�� The programme provides flexibility to the States in implementation. This is essential, given the vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India, and also from the point of view of promoting innovations.

�� There is a greater emphasis on capacity building at scale, especially in community approaches and programme management. Various initiatives are being taken to reach out to all the stakeholders with representatives of States and select organizations (called Key Resource Centres) being trained. These in turn are, carrying out trainings at the sub-State level. The key official at the district level-Collector-has been roped in the programme to provide leadership at the

district level. They are being exposed to best practices, both through workshops and exposure visits. More than 450 Collectors from across the country have been trained. In order to provide exposure to officers at their entry level itself, a training module has been developed for LBSNAA, Mussoorie. The IAS and other Group A probationers are being given training for better implementation of SBM(G), including ‘triggering’ behavior change in communities.

�� To scale up capacity building in community approaches for field personnel and create an army of motivators on the ground, Virtual Classrooms are being organized with multiple districts being connected to a central trainer virtually, thereby significantly increasing the number of people trained as well as reducing resources required per training. These trainings have already been conducted in 7 states in over 50 districts.

�� The attempt is to transform the Mission into a jan andolan with the cooperation of all sections of the society including the all government departments, NGOs, Corporates, youth etc. The Panchayats are being actively involved.

�� There is an emphasis on streamlining administrative and financial procedures, both to cut down on time, as well as to increase accountability.

�� Innovations in technology is being promoted at the National and State levels. There is a National Committee under

Prof. R.A. Mashelkar that examines all new technologies from the point of view of safety and feasibility.

�� Sanitation is being prioritized amongst the overall development agenda. The Government has taken a decision to prioritize all Centrally Sponsored Schemes in ODF villages. Various other development schemes are being converged with the sanitation outcomes.

�� Community managed sanitation system with focus on solid and liquid management as part of the overall mission is being pushed as an equally key component of the mission

�� Promotion of direct incentive transfer to beneficiary is also being promoted by GoI as a best practice

�� Fund allocation to States is being linked to ODF achievement and performance to encourage better performing States as well as to prevent parking of funds at State level

�� A young professional called Zila Swachh Bharat Prerak is being hired for each district of India, who will support the District Collector in managing and driving the Mission effectively, to speed up implementation. 600 of these Preraks are being hired and fully funded by the Tata Trusts.

�� In an attempt to make to make sanitation everyone’s business, over 50 Ministries have prepared Swachhta Action Plans (SAP) with a line item in their annual

Page 49: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

Mandi’s Mahila Mandals move the district towards ODF plus

Having been declared open defecation free (ODF) in September 2015, Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi District is now moving towards ODF plus which involves effective management of solid and liquid waste; and adoption of zero waste principles that reduce waste and increase access to recycling and composting.

In this regard, the district administration has enlisted the support of women’s groups or Mahila Mandals and self-help groups, according to District Collector, Sandeep Kadam.

Around 4,490 women’s groups numbering about 60,000 to 70,000 women have been involved in a campaign called Mandi Vikas Abhiyan, its thrust areas being Swachhta Abhiyaan (sanitation), Beti Bachao (celebrating the girl child) and disaster management, considering the district is prone to floods, landslides, heavy snow fall and road accidents. The activity based model goes beyond lectures and identification of do’s and don’ts.

“The basic concept is to devote two hours per week on cleanliness activities,” explains the DC. As per the campaign, all Mahila Mandals are required to undertake one activity per week related to sanitation. The work involves cleaning of public places – roads, schools, toilets in schools and anganwadis, water tanks and traditional water bodies, drains, and creating soak pits for disposal of liquid waste, garbage pits, vermi-compost pits, etc.

Mandi has also developed a concept called Swachh Gram. For a gram panchayat to be called a Swachh Gram, it has to comply with eight well laid out criteria to include segregation of waste; disposal of biodegradable waste; disposal of non-biodegradable waste with the help of kabadis; encouraging people to have dustbins in cars; cleanliness of all toilets; among others.

Ever since the commencement of the Mandi Vikas Abhiyaan, nearly two lakh cleaning activities have been undertaken, and 30,000 soak pits and 15,000 garbage pits were constructed. For all these activities the district has not paid a single penny towards their costs. “It was a phenomenal show of volunteerism,” Kadam said, recalling how hard people worked to dig pits, carry stones and cement wherever necessary. Notably, many of them had even painted and decorated their work, which served as a great source of inspiration.

While interacting with families there, the DC found that neither the 60-70,000 women belonging to the Mahila Mandals or their families resorted to littering any more. They knew that if they littered, it was a member of their own family who would have to clean up. Consequently, they think twice or thrice before thrown garbage and that is evidence of actual behaviour change – a great achievement of the campaign.

Nevertheless, the real outcome of the campaign is empowerment. Kadam said that the campaign has given women an opportunity for social congregation and social interaction outside their households. He said they initially they faced huge resistance from their families and the society, having listened to several inspiring stories of how they overcame the resistance.

Further, in some places the campaign had turned into a fight against some social malaises. Take the case of the Bungrail Chowk panchayat where women started a fight against their ostracisation during their menstrual cycle when they literally became untouchables, having to stay in cowsheds during the 3-4 day period. “Women stated boldly that the practice was against personal hygiene,” the DC said.

In yet another instance, the Swachhta campaign became a war against liquor menace. During their routine cleaning of public places, women found that the biggest component of garbage collected was liquor bottles. This led to women starting the Daru-Bandiabhiyan (liquor ban) in the Sawamahu Gram Panchayat.

During the entire exercise, hundreds of women were part of a knowledge network to share updates and best practices. They learnt how to use internet and whatsapp on their mobiles o communicate with the district administration. “This particular campaign was transformed from Abhiyan to Andolan. Swachhta has become a social movement because of the participation of women,” he added.

December, 2016.

The progress achieved under SBM(G) for SCs/STs is also being monitored through the online monitoring system. Upto December, 2016, out of the total of 127.43 lakh Individual household latrines constructed during 2016-17, 21.60 lakh (16.95%) IHHLs are from SCs families and 20.77 lakh (16.30%) IHHLs are from STs Families. State-wise details are at Annexure-X.

3.4 Behaviour Change Communication (BCC)

3.4.1 Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) 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. 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 initiative, which focuses on changing social and cultural norms regarding open defecation and maintaining a clean environment through environment building and reminder services.

3.4.2 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. 5% of each district project outlay including 2% for capacity building can be utilized for IEC activities aimed at generating effective demand, promoting usage and sustaining the desired behaviour in the long term. The focus of SHACSs on Inter Personal Communication (IPC) on which 60% of the IEC funds is proposed to be spent. CLTS training as a technical communication and a cadre of motivators as the ground force to trigger behaviour change are seen as key components of IEC in the SBM context. The approach in the implementation of IEC has been to go for local specific innovation, a high range of community engagement, intra-State and inter-State learning and replication from good practices.

3.4.3 Regular cleanliness Campaigns are being organized. Massive media campaigns have been organized at National level using Audio Visual (TV) and Audio (Radio). Shri Amitabh Bachchan and Shri Sachin Tendulkar have been roped into the campaign besides other celebrities and icons from various walks of life. Social media is being used extensively. There is a national Swachh Bharat Group on Hike App, with representatives from

all the States and selected districts. There is also a Phase 1 collectors WhatsApp group which is actively used to share happenings on the field across the country on a daily basis. The Ministry also actively uses social media platforms, such as Twitter (@swachbharat), Facebook (facebook.com/sbmgramin) and YouTube (tinyurl.com/sbmgramin).The website of the Ministry (www.mdws.gov.in) has also been upgraded as a medium for real-time cross sharing of best practices.Through a national IEC Consultation and other workshops, efforts have been made to maximize the benefits from IEC interventions and the funds meant for this purpose. Corporates, civil society organisations and other Ministries and departments have joined in SBM

awareness efforts in good measure

3.5 Inter Ministry & Inter-sector collaboration

3.5.1 Swachh Iconic Places(SIP)

As part of the Government’s efforts to achieve a clean India by 2019, and under the vision of the Honourable Prime Minister, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is coordinating a high priority multi-stakeholder initiative to clean up 100 historic, cultural and religious sites in the country under a programme named Swachh Iconic Places (SIP).

The initiative is being initially implemented in ten places. These are: Vaishno Devi (J&K), Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai (Maharashtra), Taj Mahal (UP),

Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi (UP), Tirupati Temple (AP), Golden Temple (Punjab), Ajmer Sharif (Rajasthan), Meenakshi Temple (TN), Kamakhya Temple (Assam) and Jagannath Puri (Odisha). Convergence is being done with key Ministries/Departments such as Urban Development, Culture, and Tourism for prioritising cleanliness and safe sanitation in these iconic places. An element of technical expertise has been obtained from the World Bank. The MDWS is constantly coordinating with the stakeholders through workshops, meetings and consultative sessions in the Ministry and at State level to expedite the process of implementation of work plan submitted by the States for each of these iconic sites. Ten identifies PSUs are supporting the programmes at various locations through their CSR.

3.5.2 Namami Gange

Namami Ganga is the umbrella programme coordinated by the Ministry

of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation. The programme involves multiple Ministries mainly Ministry of Urban Development and Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (since checking of source pollution and checking industrial pollution are the major components). A major role of Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation is to prioritize the villages on Ganga bank and work with States for making them free from Open Defecation as part of SBM (G). It is also to take up requisite amount of SLWM work in these villages with due support from MoWR.

In the 5 riparian States of the Ganga i.e. Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and West Bengal, 1651 GPs in 251 Block of 52 Districts have been identified as being adjoining the River Ganga. These GPs comprise of 5169 villages in all, of which 4282 villages are directly adjoining the Ganga, which have been prioritized to achieve ODF status. As per Baseline survey conducted by

Page 66: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

52

States in 2012-13, 15,18,649 households in these GPs did not have toilets. Of these, a total of 830393 (54.68%)individual toilets have been constructed upto 31.12.2016. As far as achievement of ODF is concerned, of the 4282 villages, 2658 (62.07%) villages are ODF. Also in 10 districts, all villages on the banks of Ganges have been declared ODF. States are taking efforts to make these villages ODF by March 2017. The MDWS requires Rs. 1421.26 crore for this work. So far Rs. 578 crore have been transferred to the MDWS, which in turn has been passed on to these five States.

A series of measures have been taken/are being taken to expedite work-

�� MDWS has nominated a nodal officer (OSD) to prioritize this work.

�� The youth have been involved actively in Namami Gange through Collaboration with D/o Youth Affairs and Nehru Yuva Kendras.

�� Capacity building-

�� Collectors of these districts are being trained by GoI. Of the 52 districts, Collectors of 42 districts have been trained so far, and the rest are being prioritized for training.

�� These districts are being imparted further trainings in Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) through virtual class rooms. Virtual classroom trainings have been held for Bihar, UP and West Bengal

�� Close coordination with these States

and districts through regular Video Conferences and field visits.

�� Collaboration is also done with development partners such as World Bank, UNICEF etc. to closely support these districts.

�� A multiple system of verification has been initiated to make sure that the ODF implementation is of due quality

�� States which have achieved ODF in Namami Gange villages are being asked to focus on SLWM projects.

�� Regular meetings are being held with senior-most levels of MoWR for optimum coordination

3.5.3 Swachhta Action Plan(SAP)

In line with the vision of the Prime Minister, the Committee of Secretaries(CoS) under the chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary on 25thOctober 2016 recommended that the Swachhta action Plan(SAP) needs to be prepared for each Ministry. The basic objective of this exercise is to integrate Swachhta with the core activities of Ministries and provide a longer planning and implementation horizon to the Swachhta related schemes and plans of these ministries along with a budget line. An extensive exercise was conducted by the MDWS where five teams visited around 50 Ministries to facilitate the preparation of these SAPs. The preparation of SAPs was closely monitored by the MDWS and later 50 SAPs received from various Ministries

Page 67: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

53

and Departments were presented to CoS which had the following features:

�� Sanitation Action Plan (SAP) contained appropriate budget proposals.

�� Each Ministry/Department has fixed clear goals and mile stones for next two years and SAPs are prepared accordingly.

�� Swachhta elements are identified in schemes/projects of each Ministry along with earmarked budget provisions.

The Ministries have shown keen interest and enthusiasm in preparation of their action plans. Most of the activities included in SAPs are innovative and have pan India appeal. After receiving further inputs from CoS, the Ministry organised a consultative workshop for all Ministries to further improve the SAPs submitted by them and ensure effective implementation of activities indicated by the Ministries in their action plans. Swachhta Action Plan carries the potential of fully mainstreaming Swachhta in all aspects of government’s working and holds the promise of a range of sanitation interventions.

3.5.4 Swachhta Pakhwada (SP)

The Swachhta Pakhwada initiative was envisaged by the Prime Minister to keep the Swachh Bharat Mission momentum continuing throughout the year, with the government sector leading by example. The initiative was launched in April 2016,

and revamped in June 2016. Following the revamp, there has been a rationalization of the Pakhwada Calendar, an upgrade in the quality of events held by the Ministries and higher dissemination of activities undertaken.

The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (MDWS), as the nodal Ministry for Swachhta Pakhwada has taken innovative steps to ensure that the reach of cleanliness drives go beyond the corridors of the Ministry’s Secretariats. The Ministries observing Pakhwada are monitored closely using online monitoring system of Swachhta Samiksha where action plans, images, videos related to Swachhta activities are uploaded and shared. Recently Swachhta Samiksha was integrated with the MyGov Portal which further enhanced the visibility of Pakhwada activities. Pakhwada initiatives are also disseminated through Press Conferences conducted by Ministers and Secretaries along with social media outlets like twitter, face book pages of the Ministries celebrating Pakhwada. An end of Pakhwada report is submitted every month to Cabinet Secretary who keeps reviewing the implementation from time to time.

The Pakhwada Calendar for the year 2017(January-December) has been launched along with the set of consolidated instructions to the ministries. The action plans uploaded by the Ministries reflect that the activities undertaken during Swachhta Pakhwada have pan India

Page 68: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

54

coverage and efforts are made by the Ministries to reach to the masses during their cleanliness fortnights. A more systematic effort by all participating Ministries and involvement of all senior formations is discernible in observance of Pakhwadas. Secretary MDWS and OSD MDWS constantly monitor and coordinate with other Ministries for successful implementation of Swachhta Pakhwada.

3.5.5 Zila Swachh Bharat Prerak (ZSBP)

The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation in its dual role as the overall coordinating Ministry for the Swachh Bharat Mission and as the executing Ministry of SBM-G, is seeking to harness

all energies and resources in the country to deliver on the goals of a Swachh Bharat by 2019 in line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of transforming the Mission into a Jan Andolan.

As the districts and States continue to make strides towards becoming ODF, they require sustained support. In an effort to help strengthen the capacities at the districts and provide them technical and management support, the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation in partnership with the Tata Trusts has decided to offer a cadre of skilled young professionals to work as Zila Swachh Bharat Preraks (ZSBPs), one in each district, across the country, at no cost to

Page 69: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

55

the State government or the district.

The role of these young ZSBPs will be to support the district officials to implement SBM-G by coordinating the various SBM-G related activities. She/he is being intended to be the key personnel for the Collector/CEO/CDO/DDO with respect to SBM-G implementation. In addition to the wider benefits of engaging smart minds in the Mission, this will also ensure a structured integration of youth in the programme and bring in fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm to the Mission, and help accelerate the path to an ODF India. These personnel will be deployed in phases in about three months’ time. They will be given thorough training in SBM related issues, particularly on community

approach and behavior change etc. before they take up their assignments.

This initiative was officially launched at an event on 16thDecember, 2016 in New Delhi in the presence of the Minister for RD PR and DWS Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Chairman, Tata Trusts Shri Ratan Tata, CEO Niti Aayog Shri Amitabh Kant, Secretary, MWCD Smt. Leena Nair and Secretary, MDWS Shri Parameswaran Iyer. Prominent stakeholders of SBM from the corporate world, the States and districts, the Development partners and the media took part in the event.

between the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare was launched on 29thDecember, 2016 in New Delhi. The Union Minister of Health and Family, Shri J.P.Nadda, Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Shri Prakash Javadekar, Secretary, Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family were present at the launch event along with other dignitaries and grassroots leaders, which commemorated Good Governance Day 2016. The objective of the ‘Swachh Swastha Sarvatra’ initiative is to build on and leverage achievements of two complementary programmes- Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) and Kayakalp of the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare respectively. Another joint initiative, ‘Swastha Bacche Swastha

Bharat’ between Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Human Resource Development was also launched on the occasion. Selected Community Health Centres (CHCs) in the over 700 ODF Blocks are to be provided Rs.10 lakhs by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MHFW) for enabling them to move to the next higher level of Swachhta parameters. MDWS will prioritize the Gram Panchayats in which the district level award winning 670 PHCs are located for achieving Open Defecation Free status in the financial year 2017-18. MDWS will also organize training of about 1400 Health Officials (CHCs/PHCs) from the above two categories through UNICEF support.

3.6 Convergence of SBM(G) with other Schemes

Under SBM(G) it has now been envisaged

Page 71: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

57

that the sanitation programme would be implemented in a campaign approach to cover the entire community for saturated outcomes with a view to create Open Defecation Free (ODF) Villages. 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. The Government of India has already taken a decision to prioritise all Centrally Sponsored Schemes in ODF Villages. Similarly, the State Government can take policy decision regarding prioritizing State Government’s schemes in ODF village.

Closer involvement of the Education Department and Woman and Child Development Departments is essential. Regular discussions in the meetings of Village

Education Committee and Parent Teacher Association about the maintenance of school and anganwadi toilets and regular discussions in schools by teachers with children on sustaining ODF activities ensures an effective sustainability approach.

The District Administration holding regular meetings with Nigrani committees/Natural leaders/Panchayat representatives who have played critical role in making the village ODF, involving them in various development activities, felicitating publically Swachhata Champions and instituting award schemes for villages that sustain ODF status is the key to a sustainable ODF community.

3.6.2 Areas of convergence with Ministry of Rural Development (MRD)

MDWS has undertaken convergence initiatives with schemes of Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development.

The components of SBM(G) include Solid and Liquid Waste Management in convergence with the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), wherever feasible.

Meghalaya’s Umthli village focuses on community cleaning

It is 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning and the alarm goes off. This is no ordinary alarm. It is a wake-up call with a special tune that is played on a public address system. A call for the residents of Umthli Village (Khatarshnong Laitkroh Block) located in the East Khasi Hill District of Meghalaya. The tune summons the entire community to participate in an hour-long weekly cleaning exercise.

Within minutes, house doors fling open, and families, including children, women and men rush out, armed with brooms and other cleaning gear. The practice of weekly community cleaning has been followed for quite some time here, resulting in spick and span surroundings that everyone is proud to call their village. Umthli is a model village and has 300 households. The primary source of livelihood of these families is farming and construction. Every house in this village has clean backyards and surroundings, and boasts of storm and waste-water drains with proper slopes.

The people of Umthli ensure that cleanliness is maintained in the village on a regular basis and its importance is not forgotten. While children make sure that trash is not littered around, the women continue to share the responsibility by monitoring cleanliness drives.

Page 73: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

59

As per the Cabinet Approval for Swachh Bharat Mission, 2 crore toilets are to be constructed under MGNREGS/IAY. Only 15.81 lakh toilets have been constructed upto December, 2016 under MGNREGS.

3.6.3 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 incentivizing 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.

Thus, availability of enough water for sanitation purposes needs to be taken into account on priority. A conjoint approach to water and sanitation is being adopted through convergence with the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) and the SBM(G). Villages which have been verified for ODF are given priority for Piped Water Schemes under NRDWP.

3.6.4 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 the 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 SBM(G) 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 1,82,138 insanitary latrines to sanitary latrines upto 31.12.2016.

3.7 Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) under SBM(G)

3.7.1 The Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation has developed a comprehensive system of monitoring the implementation and impact of the Programme including utilization of funds, through Periodical Progress Reports, Performance Review Committee meetings, Area Officer’s Scheme, District Level Monitoring and Vigilance and

Page 74: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

60

Monitoring Committees at the State/District Level. Besides, the States have been advised to adopt a five-pronged strategy consisting of (i) creation of awareness about the schemes, (ii) transparency, (iii) People’s participation, (iv) accountability/ social audit and (v) strict vigilance and monitoring at all levels. These measures are to help in maximum utilization of funds under the rural development schemes.

3.7.2 Comprehensive web-based online monitoring systems for SBM(G) are in place. The Online Monitoring System of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is being strengthened for entering households level data gathered from the Baseline Survey. This is an attempt to begin household level monitoring of the sanitation coverage and increase transparency. Further to keep pace with the modern IT tools, provision is now available to send automatic reminders on identified dates to State Secretaries and SBM(G) 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. An online automated sms system to communicate with beneficiaries and an online complaint redressal system is being put in place. A Mobile application for uploading photographs of toilets constructed after 2nd October 2014 has been launched. The photographs are geo- tagged.

3.7.3 A module for monitoring ODF is also available on the IMIS. Further, the IMIS provides for a module, whereby, the States/districts can transfer incentive fund directly to the community as a whole, as per the flexibility provided to the States. A dashboard has been designed that reflects real time data on SBM progress on it (sbm.gov.in/sbmd). A mobile application called SwachhApp, containing beneficiary-level data from all villages of the country is available on Android and iOS. Citizens can also rank villages on Swachhta on the SwachhApp.

3.7.4 Village Swachhata Index has been defined to measure the cleanliness level of villages. This includes factors like access to safe toilets and also whether there is visible cleanliness around households and public places. This is measured by determining the % of households having access to safe toilets, % of households having no litter around them, % of houses having no stagnant waste water around them and % of public places having no litter around them. The public places include schools, anganwadis, hospitals, etc. The IMIS enables villages to determine their own Village Swachhta Index in a Gram Sabha and take steps to improve their cleanliness level.

3.7.5 A dashboard has been developed for the Members of Parliament, to help them track the status of water and sanitation in their constituencies. This will be launched by 1st February, 2017.

3.7.6 Periodic review meetings are conducted

Page 75: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

61

to review the physical and financial progress in the implementation of schemes in all the States. Beside review meetings, regular video conferences are also organized to review progress of SBM (G) and to suggest corrective measures wherever required to achieve physical and financial objectives. National Level Monitors (NLM) are also being instituted to carry out sample based primary field assessments of water and sanitation parameters for the MDWS. An Independent Verification Agency (IVA) is also being hired to carry out sample based checks of sanitation coverage and ODF status across the country.In addition to these, senior officers from GoI regularly visit the States lagging behind in the pace of implementation of the scheme to expedite their implementation so as to achieve the project objectives within the stipulated period. Some of these visits are in the form of state Missions with multiple teams of senior officers from MDWS visiting multiple districts.

3.7.7 In order to get a quick feedback on innovations in addressing various implementation challenges, Rapid Action and Learning Unit (RALU) has been constituted at the National level and similar RALUs are being constituted at the State levels. The RALUs are small, flexible and specialized units to provide advice on corrective action and to upscale good practices. They are also to find quick and effective solutions and develop, share and spread those based on actual working in the field.

3.8 Human Resource Development (HRD)

3.8.1 Water and Sanitation Support Organizations (WSSOs) have been set up at the State level to provide capacity building support to various levels for the implementation of the programme. The Communication and Capacity Development Unit (CCDU) which function under the Water and Sanitation Support organization develops communication campaigns for the State, and districts focusing on critical messages to change the behaviour of communities.

3.8.2 Implementation of the new programme requires renewed emphasis on capacity building, both of the programme managers as well as the implementers in the field. The State and district officials, especially the Collectors/CEOs of Zilla Panchayats (district level local government body) need to be trained in the various approaches, especially community approaches and triggering for collective behaviour change. This has been started through a series of workshops for the Collectors (the key district level official) -and more than one-third Collectors have already been trained so far through the Central Government. Besides, workshops are being carried out at the State and regional levels for expanding these capacities. The elected representatives are also being involved in various orientation/training programmes. Cross visits between different districts is also being organized. In order to ensure sustained

Page 76: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

62

engagement of trained motivators, appropriate incentive mechanisms to link their work with outcomes are also being put into place by several States.

3.8.3 CLTS trainings have been imparted to groups of field level motivators and district functionaries through Virtual Classrooms, with each training being imparted in parallel to several districts. The first pilot was organized in Gujaratwith two districts being connected simultaneously to a central trainer in Ahmedabad with the support of the Tata Trusts. On successful completion of this pilot, the model was

jointly rolled out to districts along the banks of the Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, and also districts in Mizoram and Punjab.

3.8.4 13 Training programme for District Magistrate/Deputy Commissioner/CEOs Zila Parishad on Swachh Bharat Mission was organized during 2016-17. 339 DMs/DCs/CEOs Zila Parishad from various States participated wherein strategies and action Plans were discussed and formulated to attain Open Defecation Free status by 2nd October, 2019. The details is as under:-

Mother-in-law gifts toilet to her daughter-in-lawWhen Shajahan’s marriage was arranged, his mother Shamshun decided to have a toilet constructed in their home so that her daughter-in-law, Shalma, did not have to suffer like she did.

“I never had access to a toilet in my father’s home, nor in my in-laws’ home,” said Shamshun, remembering the difficulties she had to endure while defecating in the open. “I cannot even talk about the monsoon months and the hardships that the season represented for us women – to answer nature’s call,” said Shamshun. In Gram Panchayat Bollavaram of Guntur district, where Shamshun lives with her family, defecating in the open was a common practice until eight months ago. For residents, it meant walking long distances for relieving themselves.

To her, it was even more humiliating when several of her relatives who visited her home never stayed longer than 12 hours owing to the discomfort of defecating in the open. It was particularly shameful for her when a relative of hers who was visiting from Dubai declined her invitation to stay overnight at her home because of the absence of a toilet.

When Shamshun heard that the Swachh Bharat Mission was being implemented in her village, she attended the meetings conducted by the district administration and decided to have a toilet built, using the incentive provided under the scheme. “I gathered all the information I could about the construction and disbursement of incentive amount through installments,” she said.

In addition, Shamshun put in Rs. 4,000 from her own side and got the toilet construction completed well before her son’s wedding. The entire family uses the facility now. Moreover, with Shalma pregnant today, Shamshun wants to be extra careful about hygiene and safety.

“I do not want to put her health at risk,” says Shamshun. Now she is planning to ask Shalma’s parents to construct a toilet as well, for the convenience and health of Shalma and the entire family.

Annexure XI(Report No.28 of 2015- Performance Audit of Total Sanitation Campaign/ Nirmal

Bharat Abhiyan Laid in Parliament on 8th December, 2015)Summary of Observations in Performance Audit

ATN/Remarks

Planning

Plans prepared at Gram Panchayat level were not consolidated in Block Plan and further into District Plan in 73 (49 per cent) test checked districts of 12 States. Further, Annual Implementation Plan (AIP) did not indicate the District/Block/Gram Panchayat (GP) wise allocation of physical and financial targets. AIPs were not prepared following the community saturation approach highlighting comprehensive sanitation and water coverage on the basis of identification of GPs that could be made Nirmal during the year/ in the coming years, etc.

(Paragraph 2.4.1,2.4.2)

As the programme is implemented taking districts as project unit, Ministry receives PIP/revised PIP of district level duly approved by State Level Scheme Sanctioning Committee (SLSSC) for approval of NSSC at Centre Level. However, it is stated in the NBA Guidelines that whenever there was revision in targets, district level PIP should be prepared by consolidating the proposal of GP levels based on the baseline survey conducted under programme compiled at block levels. It is responsibility of the States to ensure that the district level PIP has been prepared based on the GP level PIP before approval of SLSSC. In case of revision of incentive cost under the programme PIP of the States has been revised for the existing balance project objectives as per revised incentive cost and approved by the NSSC from time to time.

Project Implementation

Against the objective of construction of 426.32 lakh and 469.76 lakh Individual Household Latrines (IHHL) for Below Poverty Line and Above Poverty Line families, respectively, Project Districts could construct only 222.32 lakh (52.15 per cent) and 207.55 lakh (44.18 per cent) IHHLs during 2009-10 to 2013-14. The Ministry had shown and achievement of construction of 693.92 lakh IHHLs up to February 2011 in 16 states against a figure of 367.53 lakh households (Census 2011) having toilet facilities within the premises, in these States.

(Paragraph 3.1.1,3.1.2)

Before commencement of which financial year States have prepared comprehensive annual Plan for a construction of toilets based on the pans received from the base level implementing agency. However, TSC/NBA being a demand driven programme actual construction were made as per the demand generated by the people. Hence, the shortfall in achievement aroused. Regarding trend for decrease in construction of toilets it is to state that under NBA the programme was being implemented in convergence with MNREGA unlike TSC. Since, in most of the States these two programme are run by different departments there was a lack of coordination between the implementing departments resulted in slowdown in implementation of the programme. Further, lack of funds under MNREGA for this scheme also adversely affected the programme. There was decrease in the project objectives and achievements due to the aforesaid reasons. However, under SBM (G) the programme has been delinked from MNREGA which resulted in significant increase in construction of toilets during 2014-15.

Page 109: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

95

In test checked 53 district of eight States, proportion of defunct toilets was found to be more than 33 percent (24.03 lakh out of total 71.86 lakh households) due to reasons like poor quality of construction, incomplete structure, non-maintenance, etc.

(Paragraph 3.2.1.1)

We noted that 12.97 lakh IHHLs involving expenditure of 186.17 crore were constructed by engaging contractor /Non-Government Organisation (NGOs), etc. in violation of the Scheme guidelines. Further, financial irregularities, like expenditure without approval, diversion of funds, etc., amounting to 7.81 crore were also noticed in construction of Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) infrastructure in 13 districts of seven States. It was also found that out of a loan of 1.38 crore provided for opening of Rural Sanitary Marts/Production Centres in 21 selected districts of six States an amount of 1.20 crore remained unrecovered beyond approved recovery schedule.

(Paragraph 3.2.1.4,3.2.5.2 and 3.2.6.2)

There is a spurt in the progress made under the programme. Against the expected outcome of 50 lakh for individual latrines for the year 2014-15, 58,54,987 latrines were constructed, which is an achievement of 117% of the target. During 2015-16, 127.41 lakh toilets have already been constructed against target of 120.00 lakh. For the year 2016-17, against the expected outcome of 1.5 crore individual latrines, 3319451 individual latrines (22.13%) have been constructed as on 01-08-2016. Since the launch of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) on 2nd October, 2014, 210.09 lakh toilets have already been constructed under SBM(G) as on 01.08.2016. Sanitation Coverage, which was 42.05% on 2.10.2014, has increased to 53.60% on 01.8.2016.

The number of toilets constructed was reported by the States. The difference in number of IHHL between Census 2011 report and IMIS on this Ministry isfalling out of use/becoming dysfunctional due to lack of behavioural change, poor construction quality etc. and probably over-reporting to some extent by States (especially in APL toilets) to get more NGP awards.

Some toilets have become defunct due to reasons such as lack of behavior change of households, poor quality of construction because of very low incentive during early period of TSC (Rs. 625 during 2000-2006) etc. These reasons have been addressed in the new scheme now.In this connection it is also submitted that this above facts were brought to the notice of Auditors during the course of Audit and it has been recorded in the Report as under:

Page 110: ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 - GoI · 2017-03-20 · 2.1.7 New initiatives in the 12th Five Year Plan 12 2.1.8 Physical Performance under NRDWP 14 2.1.9 Rising expectations: Goal 14 2.1.10

96

“Ministry accepted the observation and stated that the difference in achievement was probably due to over-reporting to some extent by Sate (especially in APL toilets) to get more NGP awards, some toilets falling out of use/becoming dysfunctional due to lack of behavioral change, poor construction quality etc. and difference in methodology of counting the toilets.”

TSC/NBA was implemented in rural areas. In exclusive Urban districts in the states NBA was not operational. The entire city would form one district and in that case it is classified under Urban, will not fall under the purview of NBA. Further, the project was approved by NSSC on receiving PIP of the district from the States duly approved by SLSSC. If States did not submit the PIP for any district the project in respect of that district would not be approved for implementation of the programme. However, this Ministry has repeatedly ask the State to submit the PIP for all the eligible district from time to time. The Ministry approved State level AIP for a particularly year as prepared and submitted by the State Governments. Being the main implementing agency, it is responsibility of the States to ensure that the programme was being implemented in all the GPs at the time of preparation of the State level AIP.

97

Management of Funds

Audit noted that the Ministry released only 48 per cent of the funds demanded by the states and 16 states on their part, either did not release or short-released their share of funds during 2009-14. Despite availability of funds of 13494.63 crore, only 10157.93 crore was spent on scheme implementation during the period 2009-10 to 2013-14. The unspent amount on annual basis varied between 40 per cent and 56 per cent.

(Paragraph 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4)

We found six cases of misappropriation of 2.28 crore in six States (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Odisha). Cases of suspected misappropriation of 25.33 crore were also noted in Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Manipur. Further, scheme funds amounting to 283.12 crore were diverted and utilized for the purposes such as advance to staff, creation of capital assets, Leave Salary Pension Contribution, purchase of vehicles and office Sanitation in 13 States. Further, in six States an amount of 81.08 crore was diverted to other central schemes and other State sponsored schemes.

(Paragraph 4.6, 4.7)

Relates to States and States have furnished their replies which has been uploaded in CAG’s website “apms.nic.in” for consideration by CAG.

98

It was noted in nine States of Andhra Pradesh Assam, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Manipur, Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra and West Bengal that an amount of 212.14 crore remained parked/unutilized for periods ranging between 4 months to 29 months at State/District/ Block/GP level. Further, in six States of Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Kerala, Manipur and Odisha, advances of 48.97 crore paid to various implementing agencies were outstanding from 16 to 120 months. It was also found that interest of 5.58 crore accrued on scheme funds was not accounted for in eleven States.

(Paragraph 4.9, 4.10, 4.13. iii)Information, Education and Communication

TSC/NBA is demand driven scheme for which use of IEC is very critical for creating awareness about the benefits of sanitation and hygiene among rural population. However, we found that due importance was not given to IEC and 25 percent of total IEC expenditure during the year 2009-10 to 2011-12 was incurred on activities unrelated to IEC. Despite an expenditure of 788.60 crore during last five year, the Ministry also failed to evaluate its IEC campaign.

(Paragraph 5.2.1)

During NBA, NGP (Nirmal Gram Puraskar) was an important component of the programme. The Nirmal Gram Puraskar awards were given by the President of India to GPs which had become Nirmal and was a big trigger for up scaling sanitation initiatives in the country. This was a huge advocacy initiative which is part of overall IEC activity. Therefore, expenditure incurred in respect of NGP functions cannot be termed expenditure on activities unrelated to IEC.

99

Convergence

Convergence is a strategy to ensure optimal results with support from related Government Programme. The TSC guidelines of 2007 specified that all houses constructed for BPL under Indira Awas Yojana Shall be provided with a toilet under TSC. However, Audit found that there was no convergence during 2009-12 with other schemes. During 2012-14 only a small percentage (6 per cent on an average) IHHLs were constructed in convergence with Indira Awas Yojana and Mahatama Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. However, there were no achievement under other components such as school toilets, Anganwadi toilets, community sanitary complexes and SLWM projects in convergence with MGNREGS or with help from local or other sources. The Ministry also failed to involve corporate houses in the implementation of the Scheme as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. Further, no arrangements were made with the Indian Railways to discourage the practice of unsafe disposal of human excreta and open defecation on rail tracks.

(Paragraph 6.3, 6.4.and 6.6)

So far as engagement of support staff like ASHA for generating demand is concerned it is intimated that as per NBA guidelines field functionaries like Bharat Nirman Volunteers, ASHA, Anganwadi workers, school teachers etc can be engaged at the village level for demand creation and taking up behavior change communication. There motivators are given suitable incentive from the funds earmarked for IEC. As Representative from Ministry of Health & Family Welfare was a member of NSSC, hence, there was no need for separate representative from NRHM.

Ministry has taken up the matter with Ministry of Youth and Sports seeking support of volunteers of National Service Scheme (NSS) and Nehru Yuva Kendra associates in the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and also asked the States to make use of their services wherever required. Many States are taking supports of these volunteers.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The Ministry failed to utilize funds approved under ‘Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)-Other charges’ and 0.32 crore only (out of 22.40 crore booked under the head ) was utilized on the activities covered under M&E during the period 2009-10 to 2013-14 diverting the remaining amount of 22.08 crore to other activities.

(Paragraph 7.2)

To monitor the physical and financial progress of the Programme, the Ministry relied on online monitoring through Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) through which the districts/gram Panchayats were to upload the data. However, Audit found that there was no system in the Ministry to verify the reliability of the data received online. The Ministry was also not ensuring its credibility by cross checking with Annual Performance Reports. Due to this lapse, physical progress was over reported on the Integrated Management Information System. Further, the Ministry had not undertaken any concurrent evaluation or implementation progress review.

(Paragraph 7.3 and 7.6)

Audit observed that against the total expenditure of Rs. 22.40 crore, the Ministry could utilize Rs.0.32 crore only on the activities covered under M&E. Remaining Rs. 22.08 crore was diverted to other activities pertaining to administration of Nirmal Gram Puraskar like ‘payment to agencies for physical verification of Gram Panchayats”. Ministry’s plea that verification of Gram Panchayat for NGP was a part of monitoring exercise and money spent on the same could not be regarded as diversion. But audit not agreed with Ministry’s plea.

Point has been noted for future compliance, however, it is indicated that under SBM (G) programme, NGP Scheme has been discontinued.

A World Bank Project to incentivize the Villages/ Gram Panchayats / Block/ Districts on the basis of certain performance indicators has been started. Ministry has issued the guidelines for Open Defecation Free (ODF) verification. Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) Module for ODF verification has also developed. States are request to complete the process of ODF verification of all existing ODF villages/GPs and report on IMIS by 31st December, 2015.

101

In respect of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), the on-line monitoring (IMIS) has been strengthened and transparency increased in the implementation of the SBM(G) by making all the data including the names and addresses of the beneficiaries of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs) available in the public domain / on-line monitoring system. A Mobile application for uploading photographs of toilets constructed after 2.10.2014 has been launched. The IMIS also includes module for monitoring of open defecation free (ODF) status now. The monitoring is also strengthened through regular field visits and interactions with State officials through review meetings/video conferencing. Third party monitoring has also been strengthened through agencies such as NSSO. The capturing of photographs has been included in the IMIS for proper accounting.
