PLANNING, FUND RELEASE AND MONITORING

13. Village and District Water Security Plan

• In many States, Gram Panchayats or its Subcommittee i.e. Village Water and

Sanitation Committee or Pani Samiti have become fully responsible for planning,

implementation, management, operation and maintenance of the rural water

supply systems.

• Village level planning including water budgeting is the key factor in ensuring

optimum utilization of water.

• Appropriate institutional support is required to facilitate the process of preparation

of Village Action Plan (VAP), which is to be prepared by the village

community/Pani Samiti with the help of NGOs.

• Village Action Plan will be prepared, which inter alia will include the

demographic, physical features, water sources, and other details of the village,

available drinking water infrastructure and gaps, proposed work to augment the

existing infrastructure and water sources, funding by dovetailing various funds

available at village level and requirement of funds from rural water supply

programmes.

• The VAP will also have details of management, operation and maintenance of the

systems and sources. A water safety plan, performance improvement plan when

augmenting existing infrastructure and an operational plan for operating the

scheme will be part of the Village action plan.

• Based on all the VAPs of the districts, the District Water Security Plan will be

prepared.

• Under the District Water Security Plan, all in village work will be carried out by

the Gram Panchayat or its sub-committee i.e. VWSC/Pani Samiti, whereas bulk

water transfer, inter-village distribution, water grid, etc. will be handled by the

State Government and or its agencies/public utilities.

4

बहार गजट (असाधारण)] 4 माच. 2010

• The District Water Security Plan will be implemented and funds from different

sources/rural water supply programmes will be dovetailed and NRDWP funds

will also be utilized.

• The funds available under NRDWP(Sustainability) - Swajaldhara component will

be used for funding of Village Action Plans for in-village infrastructure.

• Other NRDWP funds viz. coverage, water quality, DDP Areas, etc. can be used

for bulk water transfer, treatment plants, distribution network in addition to in-

village water supply infrastructure and augmentation of drinking water sources.

14. Comprehensive Water Security Action Plan (CWSAP)

The main objective of the Comprehensive Water Security Action Plan is to provide a

definite direction to the programme, and also to ensure regular monitoring of the

progress made by the respective State's Goal towards achieving drinking water

security to every rural household by 2012. Under the broad goal set by each State,

during each financial year the sub-goal and the priorities would be fixed based on

mutual consultation by the Centre and the State which includes the following:

• Every year, States/UTs shall prepare Comprehensive Water Security Action Plans

and which will inter-alia include broad direction/thrust and tangible targets

planned to be achieved in the financial year.

• Taking into consideration funds available from different sources and working out

the Central fund based on the allocation criteria mentioned in para 11.5 (plus 10%

extra) CWSAP will have to be prepared by each State.

• Each State will have to submit to RGNDWM the CWSA Plan by Feb every year,

through online IMIS.

• After consultation with each State during Feb and March of the current financial

year funds to be released in April to States for the next financial year.

• The CWSAP will be prepared in a participatory manner and after carrying out

detailed SWOT analysis.

• Under the CWSAP, detailing will be done based on the Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) signed between the RGNDWM and the State.

• The progress made and achievements in the previous year will be basis of the

CWSAP and it will incorporate schemes to be taken up, allocation of funds under

the State Sector, Central Sector as well as carried over funds, if any, and after

finalization, the same will be furnished online to the RGNDWM, by February

every year.

• While preparing the CWSAP, completion of the incomplete works shall be given

priority over new works.

• It should be ensured that the works taken up are completed as per schedule and

that there should not be any delay in execution which would result in cost

escalation, nonutilisation of assets created, etc.

• The Action Plans should indicate the following aspects also: —

a) Target of coverage of uncovered habitations with their names, block,

district etc. with reference to census village code from the appropriate

survey list in the website. This should be submitted on line.

b) Steps taken by the implementing agency for functioning in a mission-

mode.

5

बहार गजट (असाधारण)] 4 माच. 2010

c) In-house-plan for HRD and how these have bearing on the projects.

d) The activities to be taken up under submissions, magnitude of the

problem, steps to tackle it, the organizational structure for handling the

sub-missions, details of IEC activities.

e) Detail of the Village, District and State Level monitoring and evaluation

mechanism with special emphasis on beneficiaries satisfaction of the

service.

f) Population to be benefited indicating separately the SC/ST population

and,

g) Clean environment around drinking water sources including hand pumps,

proper O&M and involvement of the Panchayati Raj Institutions;

h) Names and number of GPs, to whom water supply assets will be

transferred;

• Based on the National Sector Policy and State Specific Sector Policy a

Memorandum of Understanding between (MoU) is to be signed between the State

Government and the Department of Drinking Water Supply, Ministry of Rural

Development, Government of India. A draft MoU is given in Annexure X.

(15) Online Monitoring

• Before 1996 the annual action plan was prepared considering ''census village'' as

the lowest unit. Since the census code provides Population against the census

village, coverage of rural population was indicated in term of ''population

covered''

• It was found that large numbers of satellite habitations were without adequate

drinking water facilities although the main village was shown fully covered.

• As a consequence fresh survey was carried out during 1994-96 and the lowest unit

of planning, target fixing and coverage was shifted from population covered to

''habitation covered'', which may not reflect the actual coverage.

• To iron out this deficiency, it has to be ascertained that the population of the

census village as per 2001 census should be same with the cumulative population

of the main village and allied habitations.

• Thus the present habitation names have to be linked to a Census village. This

exercise has to be done online and is to be carried out by all states, compulsorily

latest by January 2009.

• For integration of data with other Department, like health, water resource,

education, Panchayati Raj, census etc it is important to have the common

minimum denominator unit as Census village.

• For preparation of GIS maps, the available digital maps with Survery of India are

based on revenue village.

• All reporting viz. the annual action plan and the physical and financial progress

reports have to be sent online with immediate effect.

• For this the States are required to reverify the list of habitations entered online,

and indicate the status of coverage in term of covered or not covered. If not

covered States should indicate the reason as due to quality or quantity. This

process should be completed latest by june 2009.

6

बहार गजट (असाधारण)] 4 माच. 2010

• Water quality and quantity of every delivery point to be tested by the community

periodically as per the NRWQM&S guideline.

• The test results are to be fed into the software developed by RGNDWM on a GPS

hand held device to be provided under MIS and Computerization programme, and

synchronized with the central IMIS database.

• These data along with action taken by the appropriate agency will be monitored

online through the website.

• The revised format for submission of progress is attached as Annexure.

• Release of fund w.e.f. 1st April 2009 will be made based on the data furnished

online by the States. This is non-negotiable.

(16) Planning

16.1

Based on the 'National Sector Policy' framework each State should

prepare State specific Sector Policy framework. Subsequently State

Level Planning for taking up water supply schemes for the 11th

Plan period is to be prepared based on the State Policy framework.

16.2

State will have to plan for each year taking into consideration the

ongoing schemes, new schemes as well as schemes which will

require augmentation and link to the habitations which are

proposed to be covered under these schemes.

16.3

Proposals received from Members of Parliament for installation of

Hand pumps in habitations within their constituencies should be

given Priority while planning for water supply schemes. Such

proposal received from the Member of Parliament should be

forwarded to the State Rural Water Supply department for

inclusion in the State annual shelf of projects.

16.4

While planning all habitations are to be linked to census village and

cumulative population on the main village and other village will be

as recorded in the Census 2001. The National population growth

factor indicated in Census 2001 may be adopted to arrive at the

present population.

16.5

Detail Project Report (DPR) of water supply schemes/projects are

to be prepared by the State Rural Water Supply Department for

which services of the National Expert Groups (NEG) may be

sought. While commencing with the preparation of the DPRs the

Rural Water Supply department will hold consultation with the

local community through the mechanism to the Gram Panchayat in

order to ensure community participation and also to ensure that the

choice of technology/system is appropriate and easy to operate and

maintain. These DPRs are to be scrutinized and vetted by the State

Technical Agency.

16.6

Once the annual shelf of projects (DPRs) is finalized it is to be

placed in the State Level Scheme Clearance Committee (SLSCC)

meeting for approval. The SLSCC would scrutinize the proposal to

see that they are in accordance with the Guidelines and the

proposals of the Members of Parliament have been given full

consideration.

7

बहार गजट (असाधारण)] 4 माच. 2010

16.7

Members of Parliament should be informed of the inclusion/non-

inclusion of their proposals along with the reasons in each case in

the event of non-inclusion. It would be preferable if the

communication is issued from the State Nodal Department at a

senior level.
