JALSWARAJYA- HEALTH AND SANITATION

5.1- INTRODUCTION-

Under the Constitution, health is a State subject. The Central

Government is to assist the State Government. The Central Government is

needed in the areas of control/ eradication of major communicable and non-

communicable diseases. The broad policy formulation is done for medical and

para-medical education along with regulatory measures. The drug control,

prevention of food adulteration, population growth including child survival and

safe motherhood (CSSM) and immunization programme is also included in the

policy formation.

The Health, Nutrition status and the extent of medical facilities

determine the well being of the people. This can be judged by its impact on life

expectancy, on birth, infant mortality rate and also morbidity in a particular

period of time. Maharashtra has scored fairly well the raising life expectancy at

birth and reducing Infant mortality Rate(IMR). The Life expectancy level is

higher for women than men.

The Government of Maharashtra has achieved the Health and Sanitation

programme in the above mentioned aspects. The Rural sanitation programme

in Maharashtra has achieved impressive coverage status since 1996 under the

centrally sponsored Rural sanitation programme and the Minimum Needs

Programme. The State has also been in the forefront in implementing

community-based sanitation programme to promote “Total Sanitation” with a

shift of focus from construction of latrines to changing people’s habits and

behaviour. There are two Government programmes in addition to the

subsidized sanitation strategy. They are the Sant Gadge Baba Gram Swachata

Abhiyan (Clean village campaign) and the Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC). This

embodies a shift in policy thinking in the following manner.

1) A focus on behavioural change of individuals rather than on construction of

latrines.

2) Individual construction subsides to community development rewards.

3) A shift in focus from targeting individuals and households to targeting the

Community.

4) Greater emphasis on personal hygiene and environmental sanitation as

essential prerequisites’ for achieving total sanitation.

As a part of this strategic the Government of Maharashtra proposes to

discontinue financing or subsidizing construction of latrines for individual

households. Instead the new strategy focuses on eliminating “open

defecation” through well designed Information Education Communication(IEC)

campaigns and community based incentives, supplemented by construction of

sanitary complexes for women and in Rural schools.

The Health of Nation depends on its citizens. Due to lack of access to

proper sanitation facilities, there is a general degradation of the physical

health. Absence of proper sanitation facilities result in illness and loss of man

days affecting the community financially. Besides this, human dignity issues.

Especially regarding the women are involved even before the implementation

of water supply facility.

Chapter - V 157

5.2- HEALTH AND SANITATION PROGRAMME -

The Government of Maharashtra has devised a policy to eradicate open

defecation. The goal is to achieve availability of toilets to 100% population.

This is not a usual Government programme based on target numbers and

dates.(1) This time around the community itself will be motivated to decide,

work for and achieve the goal with necessary facilitation from the government.

Some of the features of the policy are-

1) Encouraging indigenous low cost solutions that are easy and cheapest for

Operation And Maintenance(O&M).

2) Pure and sustainable water supply to the community. It is targeted to

provide at least 40 Liters per capacity per day (LPCD) of water to every citizen.

The facility for sustainable pure water supply shall be selected, implemented

and maintained by the community.

3) The open well sources are not approachable directly as in the past. Such

wells are fitted with hand pumps and direct dipping of vessels/containers in

the water will not allowed. Such wells are called sanitary wells.

4) The community will be encouraged to devise its own sanitation and hygiene

solutions. Every family of a habitation can come up with a new innovation

suitable to them. Assuring the safe hygiene, every endeavor shall be

encouraged.

5) The domestic waste shall be disposed off properly with the help of soak pits

for the proper disposal of waste water from bathrooms etc. Strom water drains

for disposal of surface water, community pits for collection of solid waste.

Chapter - V 158

6) Guidance to community on the construction and maintenance of toilets in

regard to the distance from drinking water source ,the scientific aspects

involved etc.

5.2.1-Components of the Project-

The following sanitation components have been included in the project.

1) School Sanitation- It is proposed to provide sanitation facilities for all the

schools not having the same at present. There are 18667 such schools in the

State(2)

2) Combined Drainage for storm water and waste water disposal- It is

proposed to construct drainage network of 2 km. each for all the 3730 village

panchayats(3)

3) Construction of community compost pit - Construction of community

compost pit per village panchayat because this is a new concept, only one pit

per village panchayat is proposed.

4) Community Toilets for women- Although the main emphasis is on the

personal toilets for each household, all the families may not afford the same.

Hence it is proposed 5 communities toilet blocks per village panchayat for the

women from the below poverty line families.

5.3- SAMPURN SWACHATA ABHIYAN-

The Government of Maharashtra has embarked on a paradigm change in

its policy in the water supply and sanitation sector during the last 3 years to

promote demand –driven community led and participatory programmes.(4) The

success of the programme in the water supply and sanitation sector has

prompted the Government to extend the same policy to other sectors of rural

development. These programmes have proved on the ground that, given a

Page 6: JALSWARAJYA – HEALTH AND SANITATIONshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/9912/11/11...Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign has helped the designing of “Jalswarajya project.”

Chapter - V 159

chance rural community can take a lead role in chance rural community can

take a lead role in implementing the various developmental programme

successfully. The Government can better perform the role of a facilitator.

Some of the key innovative programme in this direction are described

below.

1) Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign-

In spite of having spent around 5.50 Billion Indian Rupees in a short

period of 3 years to construct toilets in rural areas of the state, 4 out of every 5

persons still resort to open defecation.(5) The loss of human life defoliation of

health status and wastage of man days is rampant in rural areas one of the

main causes for this state of affairs is the lack of proper facilities for

environment and household sanitation and lack of personal hygiene habits.

Analyzing the result of conventional sanitation campaign activities,

mainly through subsidized toilet construction on a target achievement basis,

the government of Maharashtra strongly felt that a new approach was

essential to avoid waste of valuable funds.

A state-wide sanitation campaign based on the “clean village”

philosophy of saint Gadgebaba was developed. This entails villages competing

in annual “clean village” campaign for a variety of prizes, the campaign is

becoming a movement that has effected a social revolution in the attitudes to

sanitation, both personal and community.

It is estimated that the public has created an estimated Rs.500 crores

worth sanitation infrastructure. Since July 2000 as against a state and central

Government expenditure of Rs40 crores on sanitation Information Education

Communication (IEC). This has been promoted largely through the Sant

Gadgebaba clean village sanitation campaign works are being completed

Page 7: JALSWARAJYA – HEALTH AND SANITATIONshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/9912/11/11...Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign has helped the designing of “Jalswarajya project.”

Chapter - V 160

through shramdan and personal activity which has had a profound impact on

the village environment. Such efforts directly contribute to improved

sanitation and indirectly to the health and well-being of the community.

As for as coverage is concerned, 13 districts of Maharashtra are covered

under the Government of India supported Total sanitation campaign. The state

has learned a new rural development strategy of community action which is

now being replicated in other areas of rural development. The lesson from the

Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign has helped the designing of

“Jalswarajya project.”

2) Shivkalin Pani Sathvan Yojana-

In spite of around a dozen of water supply schemes in each Gram

Panchayat constructed under supply driven policy and having spent 166 Billion

Indian rupees in last 40 years, around 25000 rural habitations in the state out

of 86681 are still getting less than 40 Liters per capacity per day(LPCD) water

supply which is considered to be a minimum standard for domestic use in rural

area. Around 20,000 habitations face water scarcity every year meaning

thereby that they do not get even 20 Liters per capacity per day (LPCD) during

scarcity period.(6)

One of the most important reasons for this state of affairs, inspite of

having spent so much amount and creating so many schemes, is the

negligence of source protection, source strengthening on creation of more and

more water supply system.

To imbibe the spirit of management of water through community action

and individual efforts at the village level, the Government has introduced a

scheme namely shivkalin pani sathvan Yojana. Raja Shiv Chattrapati, the great

Page 8: JALSWARAJYA – HEALTH AND SANITATIONshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/9912/11/11...Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign has helped the designing of “Jalswarajya project.”

Chapter - V 161

Maratha warrior of Maharashtra had adopted this practice of water

conservation for recharging as well as direct use of rain water in his many forts.

In this scheme also community makes holistic water management plan

at the village level on 3 principles of increase supply, manage demand and self

regulate over abstraction. It has been observed that community is really

understanding their water accounting at the village level and resorting to

holistic water management through self-discipline and self efforts. This

programme clearly indicates that what a stringent law cannot achieve can

certainly be achieved through community action, spirit and participation.

3) Mahatma Phule Jal Abhiyan-

As against Shivkalin Pani Sathvan Yojana, which is confined to conserving

and preserving rain water for domestic purposes through direct storage and

use or recharge of drinking water sources, Mathama Phule Jal Abhiyan

emphasizes on low cost conservation structure for conserving and preserving

rain water for all uses through community labour and resource mobilization.

No financial assistance is given to the community by the Government. This

programme encourages community to take works through “shramdan”

(Labour contribution) and by donating material necessary for creating low cost

water conservation structure. The soil which has been dug after delisting of the

traditional water structures even from those owned by government like tanks,

well etc. Which is very nutrition for plan growth is being given free of cost to

the farmers who have contributed labour. The work generated through

community mobilization in the state during the last 2 years through this

programme is estimated to be around Indian rupees 5 Billion, with government

contribution practically nil.(7)

4) Yashwant Gram Samrudhi Yojana-

Page 9: JALSWARAJYA – HEALTH AND SANITATIONshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/9912/11/11...Sant Gadgebaba clean village campaign has helped the designing of “Jalswarajya project.”

Chapter - V 162

Taking clue from the success of the above 3 programme which were

basically centered around water supply, water conservation and sanitation at

the village level it was thought fit by the Government that the same

community approach can be extended to other development sectors as well.

According a scheme has been devised by rural development department under

which community can plan for any development work required at the village

level according to their felt needs. The only stipulation is that they should be

ready to contribute 15% of the estimated capital cost. The government will be

contributing remaining 85% cost.(8) Planning and implementation of the works

and the maintenance of the assets. So created will be the sole responsibility of

the community. Tremendous response has been generated among the

community and so much community contribution has been mobilized that

Government could not meet its share of 85% in available government

resources.

5) Strategy of 100% stoppage of open defecation-

One of the important elements of rural sanitation is 100% stoppage of

the practice of open defecation in rural areas. Till now the strategy was to

sensitize the individual families in village to build toilets. Even the earlier

subsidy of Indian rupees 3500 which stands reduced to Indian rupees 500 now

are focusing on individual households.

However, it has been observed that policy of focusing on individual

family/household to sensitize to construct toilet and use it on a sustainable

basis will not have much impact on achieving the target of 100% stoppage of

open defecation through new strategy namely “Hagandari Hatao” in which no

individual incentive will be given by the government but the community will be

rewarded if it will stop 100% open defecation and sustain it for a period of 12

months through their joint action.(9)

Chapter - V 163

5.4- RURAL SANITATION AND TOTAL SANITATION-

Even though by year 2000, the target for construction of 16.61 lakhs

toilets have been achieved a mere 57% of the beneficiaries are really using the

toilets.(10) Consolidating the experience if implementing massive toilet

programme and in consensus with the new policy of Government of India,

Government of Maharashtra designed and implemented an innovative

programme started in the year 2000-2001 based on the theme “Government

participation in peoples initiatives and programme. This programme was

popularly known as Sant Gadgebaba clean sanitation campaign, Rashtra Sant

Tukdoji Maharaj clean village competition and Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi

competition for cleanest Ziia parishad and panchayat Samitis.

The campaign turned out to be the biggest Information Education

Communication (IEC) campaign for propagating environmental sanitation

personal hygiene and health measures, ever undertaken among the rural

masses. All the rural habitations in the state participated in the campaign and

without any financial support from the government the rural people came

forward to clean their houses, neighborhoods and the whole village.

5.4.1- A New Strategy for total sanitation-

The Government of Maharashtra is launching a new sanitation policy to

tackle the issue in the sanitation sector. The new statewide policy will focus on

one of the most important components of rural environmental sanitation in

the state, the elimination of the practice of open defecation in the rural

habitations of the state. The Government of Maharashtra is requesting

Government of India to utilize funds under the total sanitation campaign

currently sanctioned to 19 districts to implement the new policy. The highlights

of the new strategy are-

Chapter - V 164

1) A paradigm shift in the approach to sanitation promotion, from construction

of latrines to a focus on behavioral change leading to the elimination of open

defecation.

2) A shift in focus from targeting individuals and households to targeting the

community.

3) Related to this, the shift from individual construction subsides to community

rewards.

4) Greater emphasis on personal hygiene and environmental sanitation as

essential prerequisites for achieving total sanitation.

5) A shift in the responsibility for implementation and scale up from the

central/state Government to lower tiers of Government.

5.4.2 Innovative Initiatives of Government of Maharashtra-

Since 2000, with the adoption of the new sector policy for water supply

and sanitation. Government of Maharashtra has initiated several innovative

programmes using the principles of community participation and demand-

responsiveness. These include a clean village campaign in the name Saint

Gadge Baba(SGBSA), a Saint in Maharashtra, Shivkalin Pani Sathawan Yojana

(SPSY) for water recharge, Mahatma Phule Jal Abhiyan for low coat water

conservation structures which are directly related to water conservation and

sanitation, Encouraged by the response of the village communities,

Government of Maharashtra is extending the principle of community

participation to other rural development sectors and Yashwant Gram Samrudhi

Yojana has been initiated. Recently government of Maharashtra has initiated

a new strategy and action programme for 1007. Stoppage of open defecation

in the village.

Chapter - V 165

5.4.3-Summary of the new approach and activities under total sanitation-

Learning from the success of Saint Gadgebaba clean village sanitation

campaign. Government of Maharashtra is forging ahead to tackle the issues in

the sanitation sector with a new statewide policy. Like Saint Gadgebaba clean

villages sanitation campaign, the new sanitation policy of the state is also an

innovative and path breaking one serving as a model for the entire country.

The new strategy focus on tackling one of the important components of

rural environmental sanitation, the eliminates of practice of open defecation

in the rural habitations of the state. Government of Maharashtra is requesting

Government of India to utilize funds under the total sanitation campaign

currently sanctioned to 19 districts to implement the new strategy.

Total sanitation goes beyond the installation and use of latrines. It

means breaking the faecaloral chain by encouraging communities to change

existing habits and bahaviour patterns by using and maintaining hygienic

latrines washing hands, keeping food and water covered using safe water and

maintaining a clean environment. Total sanitation can only be successful when

every member of the village community participates and the community

recognizes that there are negative externalities from non-participants and that

100% participation is essential for success.

Although it is well understood that total sanitation is the ultimate goal,

the critical first step is to get people to move from open defecation to fixed

point defecation, even if it is at the bottom of the sanitation ladder using

Chapter - V 166

simple makeshift latrines. In this context, it is important that communities

understand the adverse consequences of current open defecation practices

and the implications of poor disposal of faeses and switch to fixed point

defecation and adopt improved hygienic practices.

5.5- A STUDY OF HEALTH AND SANITATION -

The role of Jalswarajya plays an important part in health and sanitation.

Already we have discussed the theory of Jalswarajya in respect of health and

sanitation. Here we present the details of the field work conducted by the

researcher. We deal with the questions 1 to 41 in the questionnaire from page
