INDIA: RURAL WATER SUPPLY AND
SANITATION PROJECT FOR LOW INCOME
STATES
Project Development Objective
The PDO is to improve piped water supply and sanitation services for
selected rural communities in the target states through decentralized
delivery systems and to increase the capacity of the participating
States to respond promptly and effectively to an Eligible Crisis or
Emergency.
Key PDO level results indicators are the following:
• Number of people with increased access to piped water.
• Number of people with access to improved sanitation facilities.
• Number of people using improved latrines.
• Improvements in O&M cost recovery.
Project Beneficiaries
• Direct benefit about 7.8 million rural people with improved water
supply and sanitation services
• About 48% of the overall project beneficiaries expected to be women
• Participating States to benefit through improved institutional capacity,
processes and procedures, for decentralized RWSS service delivery
responsibilities and improving accountability to rural households
• Targeted assistance to the tribal populations of 4 districts in Jharkhand,
with about 0.4 million expected beneficiaries from tribal populations.

Integrated Approach to Water Supply and Sanitation
•
Water Supply
– SVSs and MVSs will provide piped water supplies, along with catchment area management
programs, as required, for improving source sustainability.
– MVSs will be taken up only if local sustainable source is not available.
– A dedicated feeder line for power supply will be provided for large MVSs. Solar powered
pumps will be piloted in remote villages which have less than 3-4 hours of power supply.
•
Sanitation
– Household sanitation (household toilets)
– Institutional sanitation (schools, anganwadi, community/public toilets)
– Environmental sanitation (SLWM, including soak-pits, drains and lane improvements for
disposal of sullage and wastewater, and solid waste management for village-wide
cleanliness); and
– IEC / BCC activities for demand creation and linkages with nutrition, health and hygiene
practices.
– Interventions will support GoI’s NBA program, by strengthening its implementation
processes at the district and village levels

Community Contributions towards Capital and O&M Costs
•
Capital Cost (CAPEX) Contributions
– Rs 450 per household as one-time contribution from the beneficiary household (Rs 225 for
SC/ST household)
•
O&M Cost Recovery
– Phased approach for achieving full O&M cost recovery through user charges
– In high cost schemes where 100% O&M cost recovery is not possible, the project will start
with at least 50% O&M cost recovery, gradually moving to 100% O&M cost recovery by end
of project period, through both real increases and indexation of tariffs to a suitable inflation
index.
– 24x7 water supply services in peri-urban areas will include household metering and suitably
structured volumetric tariffs.
– ‘Bulk Water Tariffs’ will be introduced for bulk water supply at the village entry point for
MVSs.
– In cases affordable charges are inadequate for covering O&M costs, State Government will
provide transparent subsidies through O&M grants under various programs.

Institutional and Implementation Arrangements
•
Project to support progressive decentralization, with a much higher role and
responsibility to PRIs at district and village level for designing and implementing the
schemes, and to the SWSM and DWSM for policy and oversight aspects.
•
Responsibility of planning, implementing, and maintaining small SVS will be fully
devolved to the GP, assisted by the District Project Management Units (DPMUs) and
Support Organizations (SOs).
•
Rural communities to participate in the scheme cycle through the GP committees (GPWSC for SVS and MVS committees for MVSs).
•
Contractual arrangements to be made between the bulk-water provider, the PHED/JN,
and the scheme level committees for small and large MVSs.
•
Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), including Design-Build-Operate (DBO) models will
be piloted for large MVSs.
State, District and Village Level Institutional and Implementation Arrangements
Sustainability
• Focus on technical, institutional and financial sustainability of schemes,
with independent checks at various stages of the scheme design and
implementation
• Other critical factors are:
– timely implementation of the envisaged institutional framework with new
and strengthened roles and responsibilities of the sector players
– capacity building of the PRIs and GP-WSSCs to take over the
responsibilities of WSS service delivery
– appropriate change management efforts to shift the mindset of the sector
institutions from service provider to facilitator
– proper monitoring to ensure implementation of a consistent policy for all
new investments
– coordination with various departments to ensure integrated approach to
WSS service delivery.
