As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTASSAMAbout Department:The Public Heath Engineering Dept. (PHED) was created in 1956 as <strong>public</strong> Health EngineeringOrganization under the Directorate of Health services to look after the implementation of rural andurban water supply. The dept. starts functioning as major dept since 1981 and separate secretariatwas created for Public Health Engineering Department in the year 1989.The mission of the APHED is to enhance quality of life of the people by ensuring sustainablesafe water and sanitation facilities and services along with promoting hygiene practices according totheir choices and affordability. The <strong>department</strong>al vision is a clean and <strong>health</strong>y <strong>Assam</strong>, in which eachperson individually and collectively owns and takes the responsibility to ensure an equitable andgood quality of life through safe water supply, adequate sanitation facilities and best hygienepractices.The main activities of the <strong>department</strong> are:1. Water Supply (Both rural and urban)2. Sanitation3. Water quality testing and monitoringProviding safe drinking water to the rural habitations and schools has been acknowledged as themost challenging and priority task by the Government. <strong>Assam</strong> Public Health EngineeringDepartment is the nodal Government Department for the rural water supply programmes in thestate.In April 1999, Government of India revamped the CRSP and introduced it as the Total SanitationCampaign (TSC). TSC moved away from allocation based supply driven approach to demandresponsive strategy. Primary focus of TSC is to form environmental sanitation generating feltdemand and developing alternative delivery mechanism.Twenty three District Level Laboratories (DLL) in each of the districts of <strong>Assam</strong> have beenestablished to facilitate Water Quality Analysis. The laboratories are equipped with differentsophisticated instruments and facilities for testing different water quality parameters and the staff ofthe laboratories are well trained in and outside the state of <strong>Assam</strong>Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 1

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>WEBSITES AND AVAILABILITY:Public Health Engineering Dept, have a Website named www.aphed.gov.in developedand maintained by NIC(National Informatics Center) <strong>Assam</strong>. It is host many important featuressuch as about the <strong>department</strong>, various programmes and schemes ,notification ofvacancies,other announcements and day to day activities informations etc.SERVICES :Service Category Description(G2G,G2B,G2E,G2C):e-Government services focus on four main customers: citizens, the business community,government employees, and government agencies. e-Government aims to make interactionwith citizens, businesses, government employees, government agencies and othergovernments more convenient, friendly, transparent, inexpensive and effective.In an e-government system, individuals are able to initiate a request for a particulargovernment service and then receive that government service through the Internet or somecomputerized mechanism. In some cases, the government service is delivered through onegovernment office, instead of many. In other cases, a government transaction is completedwithout direct in-person contact with a government employee.There are many categories of services such as G2C(Govt. to citizen),G2B(Govt tobusiness),G2E(Govt. to employee), and G2G(Govt. to Govt.).G2C(Govt. to citizen):G2C includes information dissemination to the <strong>public</strong>, basic citizen services such as licenserenewals, ordering of birth/death/marriage certificates and filing of income taxes, as well ascitizen assistance for such basic services as education, <strong>health</strong> care, hospital information,libraries, and the like.G2C means any govt. to citizen service. The main objective is to bringthe administration to the door steps of the people in order to ensure that the governmentservices are efficient, transparent and reliable while at the same time ensuring that the life ofthe common citizens is made easier. Quite often,citizens are required to move from onegovernment office to another in need of various services.(viz employment registration,birthregistration etc.).The obvious disadvantage of the system is that it involves expenditure ontransport,lodging etc. in addition to loss of wages on part of the citizens. So,G2C services willgreatly help the citizens by saving time and cutting down unnecessary costs.G2B(Govt to business):G2B transactions include various services exchanged between government and the businesscommunity, including dissemination of policies, memos, rules and regulations. BusinessRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 8
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>services offered include obtaining current business information, downloading applicationforms, renewing licenses, registering businesses, obtaining permits, and payment of taxes.The services offered through G2B transactions also assist in business development,specifically the development of small and medium enterprises. Simplifying applicationprocedures that would facilitate the approval process for SME requests would encouragebusiness development.On a higher level, G2B services include e-procurement, an online government-supplierexchange for the purchase of goods and services by government. Typically, e-procurementWeb sites allow qualified and registered users to look for buyers or sellers of goods andservices. Depending on the approach, buyers or sellers may specify prices or invite bids. e-Procurement makes the bidding process transparent and enables smaller businesses to bidfor big government procurement projects. The system also helps government generate biggersavings, as costs from middlemen are shaved off and purchasing agents’ overhead is reduced.G2E(Govt. to employee):G2E services encompass G2C services as well as specialized services that cover onlygovernment employees, such as the provision of human resource training and developmentthat improve the bureaucracy’s day-to-day functions and dealings with citizens.G2G(Govt. to Govt.):G2G services take place at two levels: at the local or domestic level and at the internationallevel. G2G services are transactions between the central/national and local governments, andbetween <strong>department</strong>-level and attached agencies and bureaus. At the same time, G2Gservices are transactions between governments, and can be used as an instrument ofinternational relations and diplomacy.Roles & Responsibilities (Work Allocation Order)1.Chief Engineer(PHE), <strong>Assam</strong>:1.

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>1. GoalTo provide every rural person with adequate water for drinking, cooking and otherdomestic basic needs on a sustainable basis. This basic requirement should meet certainminimum water quality standards and be available at all times, in all situations, inwhich it is readily and conveniently accessible.2. Basic principlesi) Water is a <strong>public</strong> good and every person has the right to demand drinking waterii) It is the life-line activity of the Government to ensure that this basic need of thepeople is metiii) To increase economic productivity and improve <strong>public</strong> <strong>health</strong>, there is an urgent needto immediately enhance access to safe and adequate drinking water as such Governmentshould give highest priority to the meeting of this basic need for the most vulnerable anddeprived groups in the society.iv) The ethic of fulfillment of drinking water needs to all should not be commercialized anddenied to those who cannot afford to pay for such service. Willingness to pay under adverseconditions cannot be interpreted as affordability to pay.v) Drinking water supply cannot be left to the market force as it does not recognize theimportance of providing livelihoods supply to all, nor does it ascribe an appropriate valueto <strong>health</strong> of the people. The commodification of water will shift the focus to profits to bemade from the scarce resource rather than human rights to water for livelihood.vi) As, such the emphasis is more on Public- Public Partnership than commercialization of thedrinking water supply programme by the private agencies.vii) Maintenance cost of the water supply system should have an inbuilt component of crosssubsidyto ensure that the economically backward groups are not deprived of this basicminimum needs.3. Visioni) To ensure permanent drinking water security in rural India.ii) For ensuring drinking water security, it is necessary that measures to improve/augment existing drinking water sources are taken up and conjunctive use of groundwater,surface-water, rain water harvesting is adopted based on the village water budgetingand security plan prepared by the community.iii) It is also important that the system delivers services for its entire design period andthe quality of water is in conformity with the prescribed standards at both at the supply andconsumption points.iv) The issue of potability, reliability, sustainability, convenience, equity and consumerspreference should be the guiding principles while planning for a community based water supplysystem.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 24

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>While implementing the National Rural Water Supply Schemes, the following norms aregenerally adopted for providing potable drinking water to the population:1. 40 litres per capita per day (lpcd) for humans to meet the following requirements.Purpose Quantity(LPCD)Drinking 3Cooking 5Bathing 15Washing utensils & house 7Ablution 102. In addition, provision should be allowed at 30 lpcd for animals in hot and colddesert/ecosystems in 227 blocks of 36 DDP districts..3. With normal output of 12 litres per minute, one handpump or standpost is estimated forevery 250 persons.In case of an independe habitation/hamlet/Wadi/Tola/Majra/Mohra etc,if their population is less than 250 persons and there is no potable water source within itslocation, one source may be provided.4. A rural habitation not having any safe water source with a permanently settledpopulation of 20 households or 100 persons, whichever is more, may be taken as the unitfor coverage with funds under the NRWSP. However, the State Government couldcover any habitation regardless of its size/population/number of households with fundsunder the State Plan.5. DDP areas and SC/ST habitations with less than 100 persons can, however,covered under the NRWSP.1. Backgroundb) Swajaldhara ProgrammeGroundwater used for freshwater drinking supplies can be easily over-exploited by othercompeting users like irrigation, industry, etc. When this happens it can becomecontaminated with salt water which makes it unsuitable for use. Water available in riversand lakes is sometimes polluted, making it harmful to plants, animals and people.Sustainability and safe sanitation practices are the forerunner for safe drinking watersupply.The paradigm shift in the new framework is to move towards achieving universal accessRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 29
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>to rural population for having safe and sustainable drinking water supply rather than a merecoverage of habitations, the latter not necessarily speaking about equity and vulnerabilityissues. Therefore the aim is to work at achieving household level drinking water security,which shall obviously ensure universal access.History stands witness to man’s use of varied forms of technology and science, rangingfrom the simplest to the most complicated, for storing and extracting water. India has aparticularly strong tradition of water harvesting – communities have met their minimumwater requirements effectively by collecting rainwater locally, diverting and storing waterfrom local streams and springs and tapping sub-surface water. However, these traditionaltechnologies and methods have fallen prey to inattention and ignorance over time, andneed to be revived and rejuvenated. On the other hand are the most modern, state-of-thearttechnologies and practices which could make a lot of difference in these water-stressedtimes. This approach offers today’s water managers a range of choices which will enablethem to make their own water security plans in an effective manner – by taking from thebest practices of both the worlds and adopting them viably for best results.Communities can combine and converge this knowledge with modern technologies andscientific tools such as satellite imaging. Emphasizing on the urgent need for rainwaterharvesting, replenishing and restoring existing surface water bodies and creating newones, and recharging groundwater, this segment urges practitioners to think beyond theconventional and look for innovative solutions.2. PRINCIPLESSwajaldhara has certain fundamental reform principles, which need to be adhered to by theState Governments and the Implementing Agencies. The principles are as follows:-(i) adoption of a demand-responsive, adaptable approach along with community participationbased on empowerment of villagers to ensure their full participation in the project through adecision making role in the choice of the drinking water scheme, planning, design,implementation, control of finances and management arrangements;(ii) full ownership of drinking water assets with appropriate levels of Panchayats.(iii) P anchayats / communities to have the powers to plan, implement, operate, maintainand manage all Water Supply and Sanitation schemes,(iv) partial capital cost sharing either in cash or kind including labour or both, 100%responsibility of operation and maintenance (O&M) by the users ;(v) an integrated service delivery mechanism.(vi) taking up of conservation measures through rain water harvesting and ground waterrecharge systems for sustained drinking water supply; andRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 30

First Dhara (Swajaldhara I) will be for aGram Panchayat (GP) or a group of GPs or an intermediate Panchayat (at Block / Tehsillevel) and the Second Dhara (Swajaldhara II) will have a District as the Project area.Swajaldhara - I3.3 States can implement Swajaldhara in Blocks / Gram Panchayats in the districts outsidethe Swajaldhara II project districts. In such cases all the fundamental reform principles areto be followed in those areas. Thus, the lowest unit for implementing the reform initiativeunder Swajaldhara –I would be a Gram Panchayat. A group of Gram Panchayats or theIntermediate Panchayat could also come up with project proposals. Swajaldhara –I beingprimarily for a Gram Panchayat should normally have small drinking water schemes. Multi-Gram Panchayat schemes, while not prohibited, would require specific and preciseformulation of capital cost sharing, operation and maintenance arrangements and costcollection mechanisms.3.4 Specific proposals under Swajaldhara - I will be sanctioned by the District Water andSanitation Committee (DWSC) provided the projects conform to the Guidelines ofSwajaldhara.3.5 If more than 50% of Blocks/Gram Panchayats in any particular District opt for rural watersupply schemes under Swajaldhara –I, the StateGovernment could consider posing / taking up the entire District under Swajaldhara –II tothe State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM).Swajaldhara - II3.6 The District is the unit for implementing the reform initiative under Swajaldhara – II.The State Governments would identify districts where chances of success of Swajaldharaare high and prepare proposals for implementation of Swajaldhara II. Such requests shouldhave project proposal along with Project Implementation Plan (PIP) and Detailed ProjectReport (DPR). The District selection under Swajaldhara –II will be made by the State Waterand Sanitation Mission (SWSM) in all States / Union Territories.PROJECT ACTIVITIES1 During project preparation, a detailed project implementation schedule would bedeveloped. The projects under Swajaldhara would follow a scheme cycle of about 36months consisting of four distinct phases and a post project completion phase. Sincemostly small schemes are likely to be taken up in a single Gram Panchayat underSwajaldhara –I, the duration of scheme cycle could be between 12-18 months.

PurposeDrinking 3Cooking 5Bathing 15Washing utensils & house 7Ablution 102.In addition, provision should be allowed at 30 lpcd for animals in hot and colddesert/ecosystems in 227 blocks of 36 DDP districts.3. With normal output of 12 litres per minute, one handpump or standpost is estimated forevery 250 persons. In case of an independent habitation/hamlet/Wadi/Tola/Majra/Mohra etc,if their population is less than 250 persons and there is no potable water source within itslocation, one source may be provided.4. A rural habitation not having any safe water source with a permanently settled populationof 20 households or 100 persons, whichever is more, may be taken as the unit for coveragewith funds under the NRWSP. However, the State Government could cover any habitationregardless of its size/population/number of households with funds under the State Plan.5. DDP areas and SC/ST habitations with less than 100 persons can, however, becovered under the NRWSP.Funding of Swajaldhara Projects1. Up to 20 percent of the Budget provision for Rural Water Supply Programme ofGovernment of India has been earmarked for Swajaldhara Projects. If the need arises,this would be increased in subsequent years to ensure full coverage of the remainingdistricts under Swajaldhara by the end of the 10th Plan.2. Swajaldhara Project funding, excluding community contribution,will be fully met by the Government of India.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 33

Funds under Swajaldhara will be allocated to the States every year as per the inter stateAccelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP) allocation ratio fixed for the year. Thereleases will be demand responsive up to the maximum allocation for the year. The unspentamount under this will be distributed to States by the end of December with the concurrenceof the Integrated Finance. In that, priority will be accorded to those States whereSwajaldhara projects need additional funding. Remaining unspent funds will be pooled anddistributed as per the ARWSP, to better performing States.4. While indicating tentative allocation to Districts within the State, the following principles willbe borne in mind by the State Governments: (i) ensure equitable spread of water supplyschemes, (ii) district wise allocations may be made and communicated by 30th April, and(iii) the fresh proposals for the allocated amount are approved by the District Panchayat by30th September of each year.5 If progress under Swajaldhara is found to be unsatisfactory in a State by the Department ofDrinking Water Supply, Government of India, it would be free to re-allocate the savings of aState in December among better performing States.Process Flow Diagram:Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 34

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>Mission Objective :c) Jalmani ProgramTo provide value and quality addition to the on going Rural Drinking Water Supply Programme.This programme will be called by name “Jalmani”.Background :The existing Rural Drinking Water Supply programme aims at providing safe drinkingwater in adequate quantity to all rural habitations in the country including rural schools andAnganwadis. Due to variety of factors, the quality of drinking water is likely to deteriorate whenit actually reaches the consumption point, especially in vulnerable areas like rural schools.In order to address this key requirement it has been decided to consider installation ofsimple Stand Alone Purification systems, to begin with, in one lakh schools in the currentfinancial year as a value addition to the Rural Water Supply Programme. Finance Minister,while presenting the Union Budget for 2008-09, made an announcement for an additionalallocation of Rs. 200 crores to cover approximately one lakh school children with Stand AloneWater Purification Systems in the schools. In order to decide on technology options theDepartment had constituted a High Level Technical Committee (HLTC) in March 2008. ThisCommittee is chaired by Secretary, Science and Technology with members from renownedtechnical institution in Government of India viz Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), CentralGround Water Board (CGWB), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Bhabha AtomicResearch Centre (BARC), Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT), IndustrialToxicological Research Institute (ITRC), All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health(AIIHPH), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Science and Technology andDirectorate General of Supply & Disposal (DGS&D).funding pattern and release of fund :• This is a 100% centrally sponsored programme. The role of DDWS will be to provide funds tothe State Governments on the basis of allocation criteria which will include the ruralpopulation (2001 Census) (80% weightage), the extent of DDP/DPAP/HADP areas (20%weightage). However, flexibility will be available with the Department to allocate more fundsto the States which show better performance during the course of the implementation ofthe programme.• The programme will be implemented in Project Mode and upto 50% of the allocated fundswill be released as first installment to all States/UTs based on the demand from the States.The remaining funds will be released to those States which have performed satisfactorilyand have submitted proposals with supporting documents for release of further funds.Stakeholders of Jalmani :• The Jalmani programme will be implemented by the State Governments through theGram Panchayat/Village Water and Sanitation Committees/Self Help Groups includingRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 37

However, flexibility is given to theState Governments to involve other stake holders also viz., NGOs, Mahila Mandals etc forthe sake of better implementation of the Programme at the village level.• For operating this programme, funds may be provided by the State Governments or theinstitutions nominated by them to the Village Panchayats for activities relating to capacitybuilding, awareness generation/<strong>public</strong>ity and such other activities which are necessary forthe smooth implementation of the programme.• There will be a Committee at the district level chaired by DM/DC for monitoring theprogramme at the district level. The district committee will have as members, DepartmentalHeads of Health, Water Supply and Sanitation, Agriculture, School Education, PRIs andFinance. Depending on the need, the Committee can include other members as necessary.The Committee should meet at least once a month. The proceedings of the Committeemeetings are required to be sent to the Secretary of the Implementing Department at theState level promptly. Consolidated extract of the District Level Committee Reports will besent by the State in the DDWS on quarterly basis.• At the village level there will be a Committee under the Chairmanship of Sarpanch ofthe VP for monitoring the progress of the schemes at the village level. The Committee willhave as Members, Head of the Village W&S Committee, School Principal, Head of WomenSelf Help Group, Ex-Servicemen if residing in the village, village Patwari or the Secretaryof the Village Panchayat and such other members as decided by the Committee. TheCommittee should meet once every fortnight in the beginning and later on at least onceevery month.• The ownership of these systems will be vested with the school authorities. However, itwill be the direct responsibility of the Village Panchayats that the systems are runeffectively and the school children get quality water in sufficient quantity. The villagePanchayats may also take recourse to the funds provided to them under 12 th FC grants formeeting any additional expenditure required for running the Programme.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 38

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>d) Sajal Gram PuraskarBackground:About 80% of rural drinking water sources are based on ground water. Many of the pipedwater supply schemes are based on single source. With rapid decline in ground water due toexcess withdrawal by competing users and inadequate knowledge on water conservation andharvesting, State Governments are reporting more and more habitations slipping back fromthe fully covered status. Therefore the strategy adopted by the Department is shift the focus of80% ground water based systems to 20% systems and the remaining by combination of roofwaterharvesting, ground water recharge and surface water harvesting as conjunctive use. Themove apparently shifts from single sources to sustainable multiple sources so that drinkingwater security is ensured.In various Workshops conducted the State Governments have been suggested to draw upvillage-wise, block-wise and district-wise drinking water security plans based on waterdemand, budgeting and availability. Further, catchment protection and environmentalsanitation are also key components of drinking water security plans so as to avoid/reducecontamination like nitrates from fertilizers and sewage pollution and bacteriologicalcontamination through leaching. Efforts are also being made for allocating sizable portion offunds for creating drinking water security through conjunctive use of water.The following issues may be addressed/ considered for ensuring sustainability of ruraldrinking water sources :• Water budgeting, demand, supply, conservation, costing, pricing are required.• Sub-surface storage of water specific to drinking water sources• Roof-water harvesting, either individual or community based, to provide adequacy ofdrinking water sources during rainy season and rest the ground water aquifers forrecharge as well as dilution of contaminants.• Stand alone systems for bacteriological contamination removal at the consumption pointafter ensuring sustainable availability of surface water• Drinking water sources could be seen as “Protected sources” like Reserved Forests.• Appropriate Media Campaigns for clean and safe water• New and renewable energy sources could be promoted• Participation of financial institutions including microfinance & NGOs in ensuringsustainable rural drinking water supply systems.• PRIs could initiate action against all polluters of protected drinking water sources on theRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 41

Similarly, to incentive the GramPanchayats to establish “drinking water security” at 100% time. Government of India launchesthe award scheme called “Sajal Gram Puraskar” from the year 2008-09. It is felt necessarythat this award/ Puraskar necessitates triggering mechanism in the rural communities fordrinking water security, quality, environmental and personal sanitation, <strong>health</strong> & hygienehabits.Name of the Award :The name of the incentive award scheme is “Swajal Gram Puraskar”.Eligibility Criteria :The eligibility criteria for the Award will be as follows:1. In order to become eligible to Sajal Gram Puraskar, the concerned Gram Panchayat /Block / Zilla Panchayat must have received Nirmal Gram Puraskar (NGP). Panchayats whohave not received NGP status are not eligible for Sajal Gram Puraskar as chances ofbacteriological contamination of drinking water sources is not eliminated.2. A Gram Panchayat / Block / District which has achieved Drinking Water Security withthe aim of Drinking Water - “Access to safe and sustainable drinking water source for all duringthe last 3 years”. If in-situ treatment plants are used, there should proper disposal of sludge/waste-water in an environment friendly manner. Wherever the PRIs are not in place, theconcerned Revenue village/Block/District Administration would be considered for the Award tillthe time, the PRIs are put into place.3. Absence of incidence of any water borne diseases during the last 3 years (data to beobtained from nearest PHC) and community awareness about linkages between water qualityand <strong>health</strong> issues4.

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>(strike off whichever is not applicable)(Signature of concerned Area Officer)Date :TOTAL SANITATION CAMPAIGN(TSC) PROGRAMBACKGROUNDIn the sanitation sector, “Total Sanitation Campaign” (T.S.C) is being implemented in<strong>Assam</strong> as a community orientation rural sanitation programme. Keeping in view ofsustainable Total Environmental Sanitation in rural areas, this programme is beingimplemented with major impetus on providing individual Household Latrine, School andAnganwadi Toilet etc. and also on facilitating alternate delivery mechanism of sanitary goodsand service through Rural Sanitary Mart (RSM)/production Centre (PC). TSC emphasizedalso on IEC, HRD and capacity development activities for motivation campaign andappropriate Liquid and Solid Waste management in rural area.<strong>Assam</strong> Public Health Engineering Department is also the nodal <strong>department</strong> for ruralsanitation programme.OBJECTIVESThe main objectives of the TSC are as under:a. Bring about an improvement in the general quality of life in the rural areas.b. Accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas to access to toilets to all by 2012.c. Motivate communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions promoting sustainablesanitation facilities through awareness creation and <strong>health</strong> education.d. In rural areas, cover schools by March 2008 and Anganwadis by March 2009, withsanitation facilities and promote hygiene education and sanitary habits amongstudents.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 52
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>e. Encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe andsustainable sanitation.f. Develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid &liquid waste management.STRATEGYThe strategy is to make the Programme 'community led' and 'people centered'. A"demand driven approach" is to be adopted with increased emphasis on awarenesscreation and demand generation for sanitary facilities in houses, schools and for cleanerenvironment. Alternate delivery mechanisms would be adopted to meet the communityneeds. Subsidy for individual household latrine units has been replaced by incentive to thepoorest of the poor households. Rural School Sanitation is a major component and an entrypoint for wider acceptance of sanitation by the rural people. Technology improvisations tomeet the customer preferences and location specific intensive IEC Campaign involvingPanchayati Raj Institutions, Co-operatives, Women Groups, Self Help Groups, NGOsetc. are also important components of the Strategy. The strategy addresses all sectionsof rural population to bring about the relevant behavioral changes for improvedsanitation and hygiene practices and meet their sanitary hardware requirements in anaffordable and accessible manner by offering a wide range of technological choices.Process Flow Diagram:Implementation process of Total Sanitation Campaign(TSC)DWSCStartBLS Preparedby DWSCPIP filled upBy DWSCBLS FormGovt. of <strong>Assam</strong>Send toGovt. of <strong>Assam</strong>Govt. ofIndiaTo Govt. ofIndiaRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 53

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>IMPLEMENTATIONImplementation of TSC is proposed on a project mode. A project proposal emanates froma district, is scrutinized by the State Government and transmitted to Government of India(Department of Drinking Water Supply,Ministry of Rural Development). TSC implemented inphases with start-up activities. Funds are made available for preliminary IEC work. Thephysical implementation gets oriented towards satisfying the felt- needs, whereinindividual households choose from a menu of options for their household latrines. Thebuilt-in flexibility in the menu of options gives the poor and the disadvantaged familiesopportunity for subsequent Upgradation depending upon their requirements and financialposition. In the “campaign approach”, while a synergistic interaction between theGovernment agencies and other stakeholders, intensive IEC and advocacy, with participationof NGOs/Panchayati Raj Institutions/resource organizations, take place to bring about thedesired behavioral changes for relevant sanitation practices, provision of alternate deliverysystem, proper technical specifications, designs and quality of installations are alsoprovided to effectively fulfill the generated demand for sanitary hardware.The TSC is being implemented with a district as unit. The States/UTs are expected toprepare TSC Projects for all the districts and submit before the Government of India forsanction. The TSC Project cycle in the Project Districts is expected to take about 4 years orless for implementation.e. Encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainablesanitation.f. Develop community managed environmental sanitation systems focusing on solid & liquidwaste management.COMPONENTSThe Programme components and activities for TSCimplementation are as follows:(a) Start-Up ActivitiesThe start-up activities include conducting of preliminary survey to assess the status ofsanitation and hygiene practices, people’s attitude and demand for improved sanitation, etc.with the aim to prepare the District TSC project proposals for seeking Government ofIndia assistance. The start-up activities will also include conducting a Baseline Survey(BLS), preparation of Project Implementation Plan (PIP), initial orientation and training ofkey programme managers at the district level. The cost of Start-up activities will be met fullyby the Government of India assistance and, should not exceed 5 percent of the total project.(b) IEC ActivitiesInformation, Education and Communication (IEC) are important components of theProgramme. These intend to create demand for sanitary facilities in the rural areas forhouseholds, schools, Anganwadis, Balwadies and Community Sanitary Complexes. Theactivities carried out under this component should be area specific and should also involve allsections of the rural population, in a manner, where willingness of the people to constructlatrines is generated. IEC is not a one-time activity. IEC strategy and plan have to beimplemented not just to create demand but also for use, maintenance and up gradation, sothat sanitation and hygiene become an integral part of rural life and thereby sustainable.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 55
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>Community and culture specific plans may be necessary to achieve100 per cent sanitationcoverage.(c) Rural Sanitary Marts and Production CentersThe Rural Sanitary Mart is an outlet dealing with the materials, hardware and designsrequired for the construction of not only sanitary latrines but also other sanitary facilities, suchas soakage and compost pits, vermi-composting, washing platforms, certified domestic waterfilters and other sanitation & hygiene accessories required for individuals, families and theenvironment in the rural areas. RSM should necessarily have those items, which are requiredas a part of the sanitation package. It is a commercial venture with a social objective.Themain aim of having a RSM is to provide materials, services and guidance needed forconstructing different types of latrines and other sanitary facilities, which are technologicallyand financially suitable to the area. Production Centers are the means to improve productionof cost effective affordable sanitary materials. The Production Centers/Rural Sanitary Martscould be opened and operated by NGOs/ SHGs/ women Organizations/Panchayats etc.Support of private entrepreneurs may also be taken for ensuring an effective supply chain.(d)Provision of Revolving Fund in the DistrictBased on the successful initiative taken by Self Help Groups and Dairy CooperativeSocieties in arranging low / zero interest finance to their members for toilet construction inmany parts of the country, a sum of upto Rs 50 Lakhs, subject to the restriction of 5%earmarked for alternate delivery mechanism (which includes the cost for setting up RSMsand PCs) may be given to each TSC project as revolving fund. This revolving fund maybe further given by the Project Implementing Agency to Cooperative Societies or Self HelpGroups whose creditworthiness is established, for providing cheap finance to their members.Loan from this fund should be recovered in 12-18 installments. District TSC projects willhave the flexibility to decide the other terms and conditions for sanction of the revolvingfund. This revolving fund can be accessed by APL households also. Loan can also begiven to the owner of the household where ICDS center is located for construction of babyfriendly toilet for ICDS provided the ICDS authorities agree to refund the loan from the rentpaid to the house owner.(e) Construction of Individual Household LatrinesA duly completed household sanitary latrine shall comprise of a Basic Low Cost Unit witha super structure. All existing bucket latrines in rural areas should be converted to sanitarylatrines. The programme is aimed to cover all the rural families. Incentive as providedunder the scheme may be extended to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families, if the same isconsidered necessary for full involvement of the community. The construction of householdtoilets should be undertaken by the BPL household itself and on completion and use of thetoilet by the BPL household, the cash incentive can be given to the BPL household inrecognition of its achievement. The financing pattern including the incentive for BPLhousehold for construction of Individual house hold latrines is as follows:Table 1:Incentive Pattern for IHHLBasic Low Cost Unit CostContribution PercentageGOI State HouseholdRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 56

As perthe above table the maximum incentive per toilet available to a BPL household will be Rs.1200.00 (Center + State), irrespective of the model chosen by it. State Government mayprovide for more incentive for household toilet than the amounts prescribed above fromits own funds. The BPL household may also contribute to value addition to the basic unitat its own expense. All houses constructed for BPL families under Indira Awas Yojanashall invariably be provided with a toilet under this programme.(f) Community Sanitary ComplexCommunity Sanitary Complex is an important component of the TSC. These Complexes,comprising an appropriate number of toilet seats, bathing cubicles, washing platforms,Wash basins etc, can be set up in a place in the village acceptable to women/men/landless families and accessible to them. The maintenance of such complexes is veryessential for which Gram Panchayat should own the ultimate responsibility or makealternative arrangements at the village level. User families may be asked to contribute areasonable monthly user charge for cleaning & maintenance. Maximum unit costprescribed for a community complex is upto Rs 2 lakhs. However, it will be approvedby the National Scheme Sanctioning Committee based on the detailed design andestimates. Sharing pattern amongst Central Government, State Government and thecommunity is in the ratio of 60:20:20. The community contribution, however, can be made bythe Panchayat out of its own resources, from grants of the Twelfth Finanace Commission orfrom any other fund of the State duly permitted by it. However, total expenditure proposed onCommunity Sanitary Complex and Individual Household Toilets should be within the ceilingof 60 percent of the total Project outlay. Ordinarily such complexes should be constructedonly when there is lack of space in the village for construction of household toilets and thecommunity owns up the responsibility of their operation and maintenance. The ultimateaim is to ensure construction of maximum IHHLs and construction of community complexeswill be restricted to only when IHHLs cannot be constructed, for whatever reason, and alsoteach the community of “Hygiene practices”. Such complexes can also be made at<strong>public</strong> places, markets, etc. where large scale congregation of people takes place.(g) Institutional ToiletsChildren are more receptive to new ideas and schools/Anganwadis are appropriateinstitutions for changing the behaviour, mindset and habits of children from open defecationto the use of lavatory through motivation and education. The experience gained by childrenthrough use of toilets in school and sanitation education imparted by teachers would reachhome and would also influence parents to adopt good sanitary habits. School Sanitation,therefore, forms an integral part of every TSC Project.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 57
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>School ToiletsToilets in all types of Government Schools i.e. Primary, Upper Primary, Secondary andHigher Secondary and Anganwadis should be constructed. Emphasis should be given ontoilets for Girls in Schools. Funding for School Sanitation in a TSC Project is provided bythe Central and State Government in the ratio of 70:30.The Central assistance per unit willbe restricted to Rs.14,000/- for a unit cost of Rs.20,000/-Separate toilets for girls and boysshould be provided in all co-educational schools, which are to be treated as two separateunits and each unit is entitled to Central assistance upto Rs.14,000/-. State/UTGovernments, Parent-Teachers Association and Panchayats are free to contribute from theirown resources over and above the prescribed amount.Anganwadi ToiletsIn order to change the behaviour of the children from very early stage in life, it isessential that Anganwadis are used as a platform of behaviour change of the children as wellas the mothers attending the Anganwadis. For this purpose each anganwadi should beprovided with a baby friendly toilet. One toilet of unit cost upto Rs 5,000 can be constructedfor each Anganwadi or Balwadi in the rural areas where incentive to be given by Governmentof India will be restricted to Rs 3,000. Additional expenses can be met by the StateGovernment, Panchayats or funds from Twelfth Finance Commission, MPLADS,MLALADS etc. Since there are a large number of Anganwadis operating from privatehouses, following strategy may be adopted; (a) In all the Anganwadis, which are inGovernment buildings, baby friendly toilets should be constructed from out of the TSCfunds to the extent laid down. (b) Those Anganwadis, which are in private buildings, theowner must be asked to construct the toilet as per design, and, he/she may be allowedto charge enhanced rent for the building to recover the cost of construction. Alternatively,the toilet may be constructed from revolving fund component under the TSC and, suitabledeductions made from the monthly rental paid to the owner to recover the cost over aperiod of time. (c) For new buildings, which are going to be hired for Anganwadis,buildings having baby friendly toilet facility only should be hired.(i) Administrative ChargesThe Administrative Charges include money spent on training, salary of temporary staffdeployed during project period, support services, fuel charges, vehicle hire charges,stationery, monitoring & evaluation of TSC project. However, in any case no additional postsshall be created nor separate vehicle purchased for the implementation of the TSC project.But in order to implement the projects professionally, specialist consultants from the fieldsof Communication, Human Resource Development, School sanitation & Hygiene educationand Monitoring may be hired for the project period. The fees of the consultants may be paidfrom the administrative charges. Purchase of one computer with accessories is permissibleper district.The following items of expenses are specifically prohibited under "administrativeexpenses":a. Purchase of vehiclesb. Purchase of land and buildingsc. Construction of official buildings and rest houses (this excludes toilet units needed forTSC projects)d. Purchase of office equipmentsRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 58

However, incase Zilla Panchayat is not in existence, District Water and Sanitation Mission shouldimplement the project. The line <strong>department</strong>s will play the catalytic role in implementation.At the state level, State Government should set up a Communication & CapacityDevelopment Units (CCDUs) for taking up state level HRD & IEC activities as well asmonitoring of TSC projects. In states where Water supply & sanitation are handled bytwo different <strong>department</strong>s, a separate CCDU may be set up, subject to the condition thatofficials handling water supply should be actively associated with this CCDU. Specialistconsultants from the fields of Communication, Human Resource Development, andMonitoring and School sanitation & hygiene education may be engaged by the CCDU. Theexpenses towards engaging these consultants will be borne by the GOI and the Statesas per CCDU guidelines separately issued by the Department of Drinking Water Supply.PROJECT FUNDINGThe Table below gives the percentage share of the allocation (i.e. the total approved TSCproject cost) for different components of a TSC Project, the GOI/State share and thebeneficiary contribution towards each components.

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>contributed significantly towards ensuring full sanitation coverage in their areas of operation.TSC lays strong emphasis on Information, Education and Communication (IEC), capacitybuilding and hygiene education for effective behavior change with the involvement of PRIs,CBOs, NGOs, etc. NGP is aimed at augmenting the efforts made under this IEC campaign.Over the last four years, it has been found that State and District authorities havebeen simply forwarding the applications, at times in anticipation of the PRI attaining the“Nirmal” status. There is a need to increase the stake of States and Districts as well.Also, the Puraskar is an incentive to promote Total Sanitation Campaign. It should belinked to the progress and goals of the Campaign itself. These guidelines seek toincorporate the concepts of increasing involvement of State and District, decentralization ofthe scrutiny process and linking the Puraskar to the progress of TSC, incorporating thelearnings accrued over the years and make the entire process transparent and objective.Objectives of Nirmal Gram PuraskarThe main objectives of Nirmal Gram Puraskar (NGP) are:1. To bring the topic of sanitation to the forefront of social and political developmentdiscourse in rural India.2 . To develop open defecation free and clean villages which will act as models for others toemulate.3. To give incentive to PRIs to sustain the initiatives taken by them to eliminate the practice ofopen defecation from their respective geographical area by way of full sanitation coverage.4.

This Committee shall alsohave the mandate to overrule any aspect of this Guideline for State specific issues and bringin force any changes in these Guidelines.III) Water Quality (G2C)a) NRDWQMSP(National Rural Drinking Water Quality Monitoringand Surveillance)1. BackgroundThe National Rural Drinking Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Programme waslaunched in February 2006 (2005-06) with the prime objective of institutionalization ofcommunity participation and involvement of PRIs for water quality monitoring andsurveillance of all drinking water sources. As drinking water quality monitoring, and qualitysurveillance are two distinct but closely related activities, requiring drinking water qualitymonitoring by suppliers of the drinking water and surveillance by the Health authorities, theworkshop had also recommended close collaboration between drinking water supplyagencies and Health authorities all over the country.The indiscriminate over-drawl has changed the Hydro-geo-chemical environments ofthe aquifers and in general enhanced toxic and undesirable chemical constituents of waterbeyond the permissible limit viz. Fluoride, arsenic, TDS, nitrate etc. with direct <strong>health</strong>implications leading to manifestations of various diseases. Climate changes is also affectingwater resources in all countries resulting increase in diseases such as cholera, typhoid,malaria and dengue which are basically water and water related diseases.Accordingly, an Implementation Manual on National Rural Drinking Water QualityMonitoring and Surveillance Programme was got prepared through All India Institute ofHygiene and Public Health, which was circulated to all State Governments in January 2004.2. Frame work for ImplementationThe evaluation of the programme implementation during the last four years by differentagencies reveled that there is an urgent need to restructure the existing National RuralDrinking Water Supply Quality Monitoring and Surveillance. National Rural Drinking WaterQuality Monitoring and Surveillance Programme envisaged implementing the programmethrough the following strategy:Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 70
As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>i. Under the programme, 100 % funding would be provided for IEC activities, HRDactivities, strengthening of district level laboratories, procurement of field test kits, travel &transport cost, data reporting cost, stationery cost, honorarium to district level surveillancecoordinators, water testing, documentation and data entry costs to the States forstrengthening water quality monitoring facilities as per approved norms for water qualitymonitoring and surveillance programme and NRWSP guidelines.ii. The existing personnel (both technical and non-technical) in several <strong>department</strong>s likePHE, Health, Rural Development, Panchayati Raj etc., would be mobilized and involved.iii. O&M of the field test kits including refilling costs for field test kits, cost ofdisinfectants, minor remedial expenses, annuity and mobility, honorarium to grass rootworkers, and honorarium to GP level coordinator will be covered by communitycontribution.iv. One field test kit per GP shall be provided. In addition, demo kits shall also be providedas per the following breakup: - State/SRI -1 no. District-3 nos. & Block-2 nos.v. The funds for implementation of the Programme will be released by Government of India tothe SWSM/PHED/Boards, based on criteria like number of drinking water sources, number ofGPs, Block Panchayats, districts, total rural population, etc. in respective States.vi. State Governments then release funds relating to IEC and HRD to the CCDU.Fundsfor setting up of new laboratories and strengthening of existing district level laboratoriesand administrative expenses shall be released by the States to DWSM/District laboratory.vii. Fund flow and strategy for procurement of field testing kits may be decided by therespective State/UT Government.viii. For meeting recurring costs of field test kits and other expenses, the community couldcontribute @ Rs 1 per family per month and deposit in the VWSC accounts with separateledger.4. Proposed Strategyi. To have authentic water quality data for initiating action it is essential to have a basic WaterTesting Laboratory at the Sub-Division Level under the joint management of PRI and PHEDsimilar to Primary Health Centres (PHCs) of National Rural Health Mission.ii. As such all basic chemical and biological parameters can be tested at Sub- divisionLaboratory and primarily biological test of all sources can be tested at PHCs and jointremedial actions can be taken up by the Gram Panchayat.iii. For data collection at the household level and at the habitation level one personspreferably women from VWSC (elected at Gram Sabha similar to NRHM guideline –para55)under the control of GP and paid appropriately on the monthly basis for the specifiedactivities. The person selected will be designated as “JAL SURAKSHAK” and will be providedwith a batch. The State Government may decide the mode of payment to “JALSURAKSHAK”, which is to be approved in SLSSC. Since ASHA of NRHM is also responsiblefor community action on prevention of water and sanitation –borne diseases the VWSCmember selected would work in close coordination with ASHA.Ref.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 71

As-Is and e-Readiness Study report on Public Health EngineeringDepartment, Govt. of <strong>Assam</strong>➢➢➢Problem of fluorideProblem of ArsenicBacteriological problemTwenty three District Level Laboratories (DLL) in each of the districts of <strong>Assam</strong> have beenestablished to facilitate Water Quality Analysis. The laboratories are equipped with differentsophisticated instruments and facilities for testing different water quality parameters and staffof the laboratories are well trained in and outside the state of <strong>Assam</strong>.Each of the laboratories are to perform at least 150 Nos. of physical and chemicalanalysis and 60 Nos. of bacteriological analysis of water samples each month. To maintain theseasonal changes of the water quality different sources have been analyzed at the interval of aweak. After analyzing the water sample, if any water quality parameter is found beyond thepermissible limit necessary steps have been taken to maintain the quality. The activeperformance of the laboratories has has made the APHED capable of detecting various waterquality problems. The APHED is equipped with five Nos. of lon-meter distributed by UNICEF.These Ion-meters are being used by the <strong>department</strong> for accurate determination of variouswater quality parameters particularly content of fluoride in water samples.Problem of Iron:Most of the ground water sources in <strong>Assam</strong> are found to have excess iron content. Thoughexcess iron does not have major <strong>health</strong> problem, but it stains and has aesthetic problem. Totackle the problem of excess iron generally Piped Water Supply Schemes with the provision ofaeration and filtration are proposed. With 75:25 Central and State Governments share 160Nos. of Schemes amounting to 23.75 crore have been technically cleared under the head Sub-Mission under ARWSP to tackle the problem of iron more effectively.Problem of Fluoride:<strong>Assam</strong> Public Health Engineering Department officials were the first to detect fluoride inexcess of Karbi Anglong though the diseases were prevalent for the last twenty years. Prior tothat it was believed to exist no problem of fluoride in the North Eastern States through sixteenother states of the country were identified as having excess fluoride and fluorosis endemic.Intensified water quality testing and monitoring and <strong>health</strong> survey have detected more andmore areas to be fluoride and fluorosis endemic which include some parts Nagaon andKamrup districts besides Karbi Anglong.As per Indian Standards acceptable limit of fluoride in consumable water is 1.0 mg/1 while 1.5mg/1 is the cause for rejection. However, in some cases fluoride content in water has beenfound to be as high as 23 mg/1.consumption of water having excess fluoride has been causingin certain pockets of <strong>Assam</strong> serious <strong>health</strong> problems like• Skeletal fluorosis• Dental fluorosis• Non-skeletal manifestation• All or in a combination of the aboveRef.: AEDC/AOP/EOI/2009/10 Copyright : AEDC Ltd. 78

Fossilfuel, mineral deposits, mining wastes and geothermal areas are other sources through whicharsenic can occur in ground water. Also, arsenic and its compounds are found in waste fromvarious industries like glassware,ceramic,dye,petroleum and refiningmetallurgical,insecticides,pesticides,fertilizers and inorganic chemicals which leaches intoground water. A prolonged consumption of arsenic contaminated water having concentration ofabove 0.05 mg/1lead to arsenicosis.
