• National Rural Drinking Water Quality
Monitoring and Surveillance Program was
implemented in February 2006
• The Accelerated Rural Water Supply
Program (ARWSP) provides financial
support for the state government.
• National Drinking Water
Mission (NDWM) was introduced as one of
the five Societal Missions in 1986.
• NDWM was later known as Rajiv Gandhi
National Drinking Water Mission
(RGNDWM) in 1991
• The prime objectives of this Mission are:
1. To ensure coverage of all rural habitations,
especially to reach the unreached, with
access to safe drinking water.
2. To ensure sustainability of the systems and
sources; and
3. To tackle the water quality problems in
affected habitations.

• Till the 10th plan, an estimated total of Rs.50 crore had been
spent on providing safe drinking water, despite such
expenditure lack of safe and secure drinking water continues
to be a major hurdle and a national economic burden (source:

• Various government agencies are
involved in supplying drinking water
to the rural people.
• Besides, the efforts of the Central
and State governments
,international organisations such
as the World

UNDP and the European Union
(i.e.)External Support Agencies

TO BE NOTED-HAZARDOUS RURAL WATER SUPPLY
(source : ministry of water supply and sanitation,2008)
The approach paper for the 11th Five Year Plan calls for a comprehensive approach which encompasses
individual health care, public health, sanitation, clean drinking water, access to food and knowledge
about hygiene and feeding practice. It also states the need to upscale more schemes related to community
management of water reducing the maintenance burden and responsibility of the state. It is envisaged to
provide clean drinking water for all by 2009 and ensure that there are no slip-backs by the end of the 11th Plan.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
(source : ministry of water supply and sanitation,2008)
launched with technical support from UNICEF and Rs.254.90 crore is spent during this phase, with 1.2
million bore wells being dug and 17,000 piped water supply schemes being provided.
1949: The Environment Hygiene Committee
Early Independence (1947- (1947---1969)
recommends 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
confers ownership of all water resources to the government, specifying it as a state subject, giving citizens
the right to potable water.
1969: National Rural Drinking Water Supply programme

• The 2001 Census reported that 68.2 per cent of households in India have access to safe drinking water.
According to latest estimates, 94 per cent of the rural have access to safe drinking water.
• 1.6 million rural habitations in the country, 1.06 million are fully covered (FC), 0.34 million are partially
covered (PC) and 0.19 are not covered (NC).
• Coverage refers to installed capacity, and not average actual supply over a sustained period or the quality of
water being supplied which is the most essential part.
• A 2006 World Bank report notes that piped, treated water is available only for short periods daily, leaving
poor populations vulnerable to other generally polluted sources.
• India ranks 120th out of 122 countries, in poor potable water-quality.
• The most serious malfunction in India’s water-supply system is its hazardous quality and gigantic cost to
human health.

These figures
show the role of technological intrusion in
purifying water is very minimal in rural India
and hence the people are not accessible to
portable water although there are numerous
low cost technologies available in the country
to purify water.

UTTARAKHAND: Case Study
• Uttarakhand state is the first state in the country to implement the
paradigm of Sector-wide Approach (SWAP) for water supply
• The project is facilitated by the Department of Drinking Water, GoUK and
executed by three agencies namely Uttarakhand Peyjal Nigam (UJN),
Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan (UJS) and Project Management Unit (Swajal).
• The Project period is November 2006 to June, 2014
• The project aims to benefit about 1.2 million people or about 20% of the
rural population
