691 1) Out of the total 156 families, 149 families have contributed a total of USD 1,693 (per family USD 11.36 - one time contribution) towards the Maintenance Fund. This amount has been deposited in the bank in the name of Water Committee (Pani Samitee) and will be used for the major repairs and replacement in future. 2) The annual operational recurring costs is USD 1064 which will be collected from each family @ USD 7.10 every year (which works out to USD 0.60 per month/family) Promotion of kitchen gardens and soakpits has been initiated in the villages. -The drinking water activity has helped the village community to come together for a common cause and helped to strengthen their unity and integrity. - the illiterate rural women are capable to implement honestly and parsimoniously large projects with big budgets by maintaining transparency if their capacities are built through training interventions and given opportunity to implement the projects. - if the drinking water problem is identified and the work is initiated by the women , the strong support and cooperation is possible from the local governance (Gram Panchyat), CBOs and men folk irrespective of village politics, groupism and bureaucratic interference. - The drudgery of the women has been reduced and now they have time for other and farm activities. - The implementing agency should be clear about the non-compromisable (peoples contribution, quality of work, maintenance atleast of one year in advance) and should try to achieve these through participatory methods. |
