Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on India's rural water supply and sanitation points out that India has achieved considerable success in providing safe drinking water to about 85% of her rural population by tapping ground and surface water through 3 million hand-pumps, thousands of water supply schemes and traditional sources. Despite the impressive coverage of provision of safe drinking water facilities in the rural areas, there are certain areas of serious concern. The issue of sustainability and maintenance of quality of water supplied are cited as the two major constraints in achieving the avowed objectives. In the years to come, the rural water supply program is sure to have serious challenges by way of meeting the expanding needs of a fast growing population, as well as the increasing demand of the population for higher service levels. The adoption of the demand driven approach replacing the present supply focused approach is a pre requisite for evolving suitable cost sharing practices with active participation of the stakeholders. In this background, the report on the rural water supply and sanitation by the World Bank, as part of the Water Resources Management Work, dwells on the policy and constraint of this sector, as well as on institutional and financial issues related to the sector reform process, and advocates an approach to bring about radical reforms in the sector.
Download or read book Where India Goes written by Diane Coffey and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half the people who defecate in the open live in India. Around the world, people live healthier lives than in centuries past, in part because latrines keep faecal germs away from growing babies. India is an exception. Most Indians do not use toilets or latrines, and so infants in India are more likely to die than in neighbouring poorer countries. Children in India are more likely to be stunted than children in sub-Saharan Africa.Where India Goes demonstrates that open defecation in India is not the result of poverty but a direct consequence of the caste system, untouchability and ritual purity. Coffey and Spears tell an unsanitized story of an unsanitary subject, with characters spanning the worlds of mothers and babies living in villages to local government implementers, senior government policymakers and international development professionals. They write of increased funding and ever more unused latrines.Where India Goes is an important and timely book that calls for the annihilation of caste and attendant prejudices, and a fundamental shift in policy perspectives to effect a crucial, much overdue change.

Book excerpt: Urbanization is one of the most important phenomena in economic development. In the past three decades, Asian urban populations expanded by almost one billion, a figure expected to double in the next three decades. Clearly, both the scale and pace of urbanization in Asia is unprecedented in human history and will dominate the global urbanization landscape. Asia's urbanization, in turn, is dominated by what is happening in China and India, the two most populous, fastest growing economies in the world. Cities of Dragons and Elephants: Urbanization and Urban Development in China and India aims at addressing the two most fundamental issues of urbanization: why and where to urbanize. Contributed by a team of top experts from both countries, it uses original research to explore both the speed and scale of urbanization and urban systems or spatial distribution of urbanities in different-sized citites. It examines various drivers of urbanization alongside the benefits and costs and the role of markets, governments, and NGOs. Cities of Dragons and Elephants presents evidence-based policy suggestions regarding the labor market, the land and housing market, FDI and the capital market, education, environment, poverty, and inequality. It uses the similarities betwen India and China to draw conclusions and implications of enormous relevance to many governments and institutions in Asia and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to analyse the rural sanitation and its need for sustainable Rural Development, with a view to awareness, acceptance and performance of the rural people in the uses of rural sanitation. Rural sanitation figures prominently in the National Agenda for governance. At present, the extent of sanitation coverage in India is around 16 per cent of all rural households. This figure is one of the lowest in the world, at par with countries like Nigeria and Afghanistan and possibly lower than Bangladesh. India, one of the most densely populated subcontinents in the world, had the lowest sanitation coverage. In 1991, only about a tenth of the Indian rural population of about 627 million reported access to latrines (Census of India, 1991). By 2001, sanitation coverage in rural India had increased to about 36 per cent with 22 per cent in rural areas. The importance of rural sanitation cannot be ignored as it directly affect the quality of life of children and women in this country. In order to overcome these issues the strategies and approaches have been developed and implemented through various measures to make all people to avail the sanitation facilities to achieve the cent percent sanitation in the villages. It is therefore found that due to lack of awareness and regular follow-up activities, it is yet to be achieve the sanitation for all people live in rural area.
