MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT(SHRI ANNASAHEB M. K. PATIL)
(a): Yes, Sir. 67 projects for implementation Rural Drinking Water Supply Sector
Reforms have been sanctioned. These projects envisage to institutionalise community
participation on demand responsive mode in the Rural Water Supply activities, to ensure
sustainability of the drinking water supply sources and systems.
(b): As per the request of the State Governments, Sector Reform Projects have been
sanctioned by the Government of India for implementation in 26 States. Details
regarding the provisional cost of the Projects and Government of India share for each of
them is at Annex.
(c) to (e): Being a new reforms initiative and Process Projects, the implementation of
the project in some of the districts is slow. Main reasons are that the concentration is
mainly on the software components, like Information, Education and Communication,
Human Resource Development and Capacity Development, rather than the
implementation of works. Other reasons are attributed to the concept and philosophy
being new and the lack of capacity amongst the key stakeholders to implement such
innovative projects. The National Conference on Sector Reforms held on June 28, 2002
at New Delhi to assess the implementation of Sector Reforms Projects has urged the State
Governments and the district implementing agencies to initiate immediate action to bring
out visible progress in the implementation within next three months. Government of
India has also initiated scoping exercises in Sector Reforms pilot districts to prepare
district Capacity Development Plans in a participatory manner with active participation
of key stakeholders.
