CLEAN INDIA MISSION - incl. Solid and Liquid Waste management
Govt's new mission called Swachh Bharat phase 2 (Gramin) or ODF plus will fund individual toilets (as the need arises), community toilet complexes (CMSC) in villages, and infrastructure for delivering solid and liquid waste management. The target completion is five years to 2024-25. A total outlay is an impressive Rs 141,000cr, made up by direct budgetary support, MNREGA funding and user charges.
SLWM aims to tackle waste under four headings, namely plastic waste, bio-degradable solid waste (of humans and animals), greywater, and faecal sludge. The infrastructure for SLWM includes compost pits, soak pits, waste stabilisation ponds, material recovery facilities etc.
DRINKING WATER MISSION - piped water supply to households
Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) is a flagship programme to supply piped water to all households. It is a highly significant one, as only 3.5cr out of 18.5cr households have a functional tap. The target completion is five years to 2024-25. A total outlay is a huge Rs 360,000cr, made up by direct budgetary support, extra-budgetary borrowings and user charges.
The mission has to work in synergy at central, state and local levels as each plays their part. It has to deal with problematic aspects such as critical water situation present in 1500 out of 6800 blocks, unique designs to fit with varied water sources, contaminated groundwater and financial viability of connecting and providing good quality water to remote households.
Jal Jeevan Mission will use reliable, all-year-round sources of water. It will also institute water conservation measures to improve sustainability and availability of water, such as rainwater harvesting, renovation or rejuvenation of tanks and lakes, reuse of wastewater after recycling, development of recharge structures, desalination, watershed development and intensive afforestation.
Surface water or stored rainwater is the ideal source for the water, as there are no concerns about contaminated groundwater. This is being done under Mission Bhagiratha in Telangana, for supplying 6.5m households with safe piped drinking water. Dr Indu, an advisor to JJM is impressed by the water treatment process in fluoride-affected areas, appreciated the water quality analysis done by Spectrophotometry, and says Mission Bhagiratha could be the role model for JJM.
