Govt mulls to empower Rural Sanitation Deptt
Waste Management in Rural areas

Early Times Report

Jammu, Dec 14: As J&K Government failed to implement Solid Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) scheme under Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen (SBM-G) during last 4 years, Government is now mulling to empower Department of Rural Sanitation which has remained almost defunct since it was created around 30 years back.
Details available with Early Times reveal that Government is planning to provide enough manpower to Directorate of Rural Sanitation at district and block level so that management of solid waste in Rural areas is given a special thrust by authorities. As reported already J&K Government failed to tap a huge amount of Rs 650 crores for SWM work across J&K.
More than 4 years have passed since SBM Gramin was launched throughout the country including J&K, but the focus of J&K Government has been on construction of lavatories with the result another component of solid liquid waste management (SLWM) suffered a big jolt and state was not able to get a grant of more than 650 crores meant for rural waste management. Sources say that matter has been taken very serious by Chief Secretary and now Government is mulling to strengthen the Department of Rural Sanitation. Under Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) construction of Individual House Hold Lavatories (IHHL) one of the components of this scheme, Govt provides financial assistance of Rs 12,000 to the families who don't have a sanitary lavatory . In J&K many families who already have a lavatory, submit the photos of the same before the BDO office in connivance with officials from the same office and get the money under IHHL. This was already reported by Early Times in several of its reports published during last 1 year. Solid Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) is an essential component under SBM Grameen which is yet to be implemented in J&K inspite of a lapse of 4 years.
Each Gram Panchayat under SBM Grameen's Solid Liquid Waste Management (SLW) gets Rs 7 to 21 lakhs as one time grant from the Central Government through Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation. The grant allocation depends on the population of village. A village with a population of 150 households gets Rs 7 lakhs. For a village with 500 households or more an amount of Rs 21 lakhs is provided in the ratio of 90:10 . 90% of the grant money is central share and 10 % state share. The funds have to be utilized to create solid & liquid waste management facilities. Small villages could create a single cluster by pooling all the money at one place. To tap this money, state Government had to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) by involving technical organizations / consultants as envisaged in SBM Grameen guidelines.
