(v) Date of funding from Water Aid - 1st Aug. 2008

(vi) Period of the project 2008-2011

Parhit Samaj Sevi Sanstha is working for the project which aims to create areplicable model to improve civic amenities and continuous supply of safe andsustainable drinking water and sanitation can be insured by empowering

communities, local institutions and CBOs on integrated water resources

management & better sanitary conditions. To create the models of water harvesting

structure both at household and community level. Construction of water

conservation structure-Check dam/Stop dam/Lose bolder check/pond desalting and

deepening, improving the hygiene behavior of community targeting on women, and

children. The effort is to develop additional sources without looking into the

sustainability aspects of already created infrastructure. Create awareness on

sanitation and generate demand for household toilets within community. All schoolsshould have water and sanitation facilities.

In the project interventions mainly focus on the community capacity building as well

as to restore and maintain ground water level and promote qualitative and

quantitative sustainability of the local sources. IWRM activities would be carried out

to impede surface run off, increase rainfall retention time and allow enhance

infiltration and percolation of water thus increasing aquifer recharge. The project

had mainly focused on RWHS, HHT and water conservation activities under NREGA

for increasing the availability of surface and ground water. For the adoption of safe

Village specific Observations

Vijaypur

- Village has a secured piped water supply with majority houses having householdconnections and some having public taps.

- Water recharge structures like check dam is built in the village to ensure water storageas well as recharge.

- Sanitation coverage is only about 40%- Most roofed houses have roof water harvesting structures.- In general, public is well aware of water and sanitation issues.


4/14

- VWSC is capacitated and it is evident in their book keeping and organising meetings forconflict resolutions.

Recommendations:

- Sanitation needs to be addressed on a priority basis as this village is planned to enrolitself for Nirmal Gram puraskar.

- Schools sanitation seems to have taken a back seat as school toilets are still underconstruction and needs attention.

Samroli

- This village could be a good example of school based water and sanitation campaign.- Community is very well informed and especially school children demonstrated best

practices in hygiene education and water handling practices.

- Water recharging structures are aptly selected by the community to make their watersecurity a reality.


5/14

Sinawal

- It is a Nirmal Gram awarded Panchayat with 100% sanitation coverage and securedwater supply system.

- It has a dynamic Sarpanch who is very articulate in expressing his gratitude to WaterAid for its contribution and support in making his GP a Nirmal Gram.

- This village stands as an exemplary achievement of the intervention.

Sevni

- It is one of the progressive villages that contributed towards a safe drinking watersupply project.

- Capacity building in community participation and operation and maintenance can bewitnessed.

- Concepts such as tariff setting and tariff collection in agreement with community isevident in this village.

- It shall emerge as one of the sustainable project interventions both in-terms ofcommunity awareness and infrastructure

-


6/14

Kamhar

- This village has interventions such as hand pump rehabilitation, check dams for waterrecharge as well as roof water harvesting.

- Through the community participation is high matters operation and maintenance and ofconflict resolution need at most attention as some of the interventions seem to fail due

to lack of community resolve to keep things going.

- Sanitation coverage is also a serious concern in this village.- Community capacity building towards O&M and sanitation need attention in this village.

Danga Karera

- Its the nearest village from the district head quarter and with highest preparedness tobe a total sanitation village.

- Community members are active, articulate and aware.- Organisations work towards making the community think on water and sanitation

issues comes across very evidently.

- Visible IEC and sustained campaign could make this a model village in all respects.

1)The project aims to address water safety and security of communities in itstotality. However, in reality the project is a need based priioritized response to

communities in regard to drinking water security and safety.

2) Interventions range from providing piped water-supply, building of check

dam for drought proofing to roof water harvesting for water recharge.

However, every thing is not done every where, as the needs of the communities

are taken in to consideration through participatory planning.

3) Communities are happy and content with the interventions and do realize the

importance of them. However, making these interventions in a campaign modeto create larger environment seem a miss.

4) Mainstreaming of the interventions, leveraging and piggy banking on already

existing government schemes is very well witnessed in this project area.

However, lack of participation by the government departments could be

observed.

5)Capacity building of the communities is very evident.

However, maintenance plans and conflict resolution are the key araes of serious

improvement.

6) 2nd phase towards intense community capacity building for O&M and

sustainability is a must.

Good practice for possible replication.

Self strengthening of the community and handing over the document of watersupply scheme to the Panchayat.

Workshop of VWSC & SHG on operation and maintenance. Govt. liaisoning with Panchayat collaboration for creating more and more hardware

structure on water conservation activities also with keeping it in continuity.

liaisoning with Govt. On water security plan for its implementation in coming years. Mobilizing Govt. fund for school sanitation coverage 100% and water availability in

schools with sanitation facility.

SHG strengthening through bank linage and facilitating them by cash credit limit andcreating awareness for Govt. policy Swarn Jayanti Swarojgar Yojna.

Through MNERGA making ensure of the sanitation coverage, creating awareness forthe usage of the HHT and making the village NGP.

Gender and Poverty

Increasingly, women are now widely recognized as having a crucial role to play in the water

and sanitation sector. Need to be convinced of the rationale for considering gender issues inwater and sanitation. Often, this can be achieved by profitability and sustainability.

Inclusion of gender inputs into projects leads to benefits that go beyond good Water and

Sanitation project performance as manifested in such aspects as enhanced image, better

procurement, O & M, recycling and cost recovery, and hygiene awareness.

There are also other benefits such as Economic benefits

Better access to water gives women more time for income-generating activities, the needs offamily members, or their own welfare and leisure. The economy, as a whole, therefore also

benefits.

Benefit to children especially girls, can go to school without having to spend long hoursfetching water. Girls have improved their education and be better prepared for better jobs.

Empowerment of women, involvement in water and sanitation projects has empowerdwomen, especially when project activities are linked to income-generating activities,

productive resources such as credit, and equipping women with better skills.

Safe water is up to community within easy reach.

Improvement in Awareness, Health care and status of life.

Increase in the interest of community is coming through the demonstration model ofroof water harvesting structure and HHRWHS.

Ground water recharging awareness is working for the water source of the project

area.Reduction of water borne diseases is noticeable

Women and children are also coming forward and taking steps at their level toconserve water in household works.

Regular use & maintenance of water resources is done by community itself.

The community is empowered to develop safe water source and community capacityis strengthened to maintain it.Women are gaining knowledge from our trainings and creating the hygienic behavior.
