Summary Report of Water Quality Testing using FTK

1. BACKGROUND

The government of Uttar Pradesh is committed towards improvement of the water quality

status in the State. The supply of safe drinking water in rural India, with approximately 2.60 Lakh

habitations and approximately 31 Lakh of water sources, is an amazing task. Monitoring and

surveillance of water quality on regular basis, has the goal of protecting the water sources to the

greatest extent possible. When Contamination occurs, effective quality testing provides early

warning, which permits interventions aimed at reducing/ or eliminating undesirable constituent to

the acceptable level.

Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is not just about creating water infrastructure, but also aims at

building capacities of different stakeholders especially local communities, responsible and

responsive leadership to own, manage, operate and maintain in-village water supply systems.

Sustainability of the huge water infrastructure being created in state along with ensuring the quality

of water through adoption of proper operation & maintenance practices are the key challenges for

UP towards achieving access to safe and secure drinking water supply to its population. Therefore it

is essential to sensitize local communities by engaging dedicated human resource for ensuring water

quality testing as well as surveillance using field test kit.

2. PROCESS OF WATER QUALITY TESTING USING FTK

2.1 Selection Procedure for Procurement of FTK

Agency was selected through QCBS system via inviting open tender. The result of water

sample tested by FTK, provided by the bidders, was compared with the result of standard sample

and FTK with least variation was approved. Post selection the FTK of the selected agency was again

examined and its result against the standard sample was compared and found least variation. Based

on the result, the FTK was approved for supply. However, the supplier agency was asked to verify

FTK before delivering, that is, pre-dispatch inspection, by government approved empanelled

organisation. The Agency after verifying FTK required providing pre-dispatch inspection/ verification

report to the Mission Office.

In this case, before delivering FTK, IRCLASS is conducting "pre-dispatch inspection" for the

"Supply of multi-parameters field test kit and H2S vials". It is to be noted that IRCLASS is an

autonomous body, recognize by Ministry of Science & Technology as Scientific and industrial

research organisation, having National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB). It is also

nominated as "Inspection Body for Infrastructure Projects" by Quality Council of India.

2.2 Setup of FTK Control Room

Earlier once the supplier supplied the water quality FTK, the job of supplier was over and the

stakeholder having no idea, the water quality FTK was either dumped or was not successfully used

by them. Besides, being Uttar Pradesh a largest state, there was no coordination among the

department stakeholders for receiving water quality FTK and it was difficult to monitor each water

quality FTK in each Village/Gram Panchyat. Keeping these shortcomings in view, the Mission Office

has asked the suppliers to setup water quality FTK control room.

Presently, the agency has setup two FTK Call Centres- one for Technical Support and other

for Smooth supply. The role and responsibility of Technical support call centres is to assist different

stakeholder's especially local communities technically and this would run throughout the

programme to provide technical support wherever required. Secondly, the Supply related call

centres responsibility would be to ensure smooth supply till district level and further assisting district

officers in distribution of water quality FTK from district to ground level on principle. For successful

completion of this program the Agency has establish one call-centre for technical support at

A-93,MIDC Industrial Area, Amravati- 444607 (Maharashtra) and second call-centre for supply

support at 4,Rafi Ahmad Kidwai Marg, Cantonment, Lucknow-226001 (Uttar Pradesh). The toll free

number given by the agency is 1800-833-0102. This toll free number starts with a pre-recorded

voice, directing caller as per need to Dial-1 for technical support and Dial-2 for supply support.

2.3 IEC and capacity building for FTK users and other stakeholder

Social and behaviour change is a complex process and does not result from merely focussing

on increasing individual’s knowledge. Along with empowering individuals and families with correct

information, change requires creating a supportive environment within the immediate social

networks and the broader community. A supportive environment also includes policies that improve

access to quality services and committed leaders that promote and support the change. It includes

community members contributing to solve the problem and support the implementation of the

solutions. The role of communication is to create a positive change at all levels by using a

combination of approaches including advocacy, community mobilisation and interpersonal

communication.

The FTK Controller is nominated from each district for coordinating different stakeholders

from District Development Officer to ground level (local communities) for smooth functioning of this

programme.

The Mission Office has created a Whatsapp group involving all level and different

Government stakeholder. This Whatsapp group is created with an objective to coordinate and fast

communicating with all stakeholders, informing and keeping them up-to-date with all government

orders related to water quality by UP Jal Nigam, Mission office, Uttar Pradesh government and

Further, on 24th and 25th of June, 2021, FTK users training as a "Master Trainer" is scheduled

to be conducted by State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRD) Uttar Pradesh. In this scheduled

training programme the agency representative would assist in providing FTK training. Once the FTK

Master Trainer would be trained by State Institutes of Rural Development (SIRD), they would provide

training at block level and these block level trainers would give training at village level.

2.5 Future Aspects

The Tentative date for finishing the delivery/supply of Multi Parameter Water Quality Field

Test Kit in each 75 Districts and further in Block and at Village level as well as scheduled training

programme for all different stakeholder (Government Official and Local Communities) is by

30th of September, 2021. Meanwhile wherever the supply and training activity would be completed,

the FTK users would examine each source and upload the data in WQMIS portal. For examine each

sources the FTK users would get honorarium of Rs. 15/-. The FTK Control Room for Technical

Support would be run throughout the programme and for supply the call centre would run till the

successful completion of delivery of FTK at village level. Based on this finally "Water Quality

Control" Room will be established for proper monitoring of water quality.
