NATURE OF SANT GADGEBABA GRAM SWACHATA

ABHIYAN

INTRODUCTION

Rural water supply and public sanitation are the important contemporary issues of

social and environmental concern. Development and human health are interdependent

with the issues of water supply and sanitation. There is a close relationship between clean

water, sanitation and human health. Improper disposal of human excreta, polluted water,

negligence towards food hygiene and individual hygiene, improper disposal of liquid and

solid waste are some of the causes of health problems in the developing countries. Thus

public sanitation plays an important role in the environment protection. A paper

published in an international conference on Public Sanitation in Dhaka has raised some of

the important issues of these types in India.1 Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan in

Maharashtra is playing an important key role in public sanitation ultimately in

environmental protection. It is necessary to study the nature, scope and impact of Sant

Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan in Maharashtra.

The researcher has divided present chapter into two sections. The first section will

deal with the system of water supply and public sanitation in the country and Maharashtra

and in the second section there will be the discussion about Sant Gadgebaba Gram

Swachata Abhiyan, its nature, scope and impact in Maharashtra.

Section A

It this section of the present chapter, researcher has reviewed the contemporary

situation of water supply and public sanitation in India and specially in the state of

Maharashtra.

In ancient India, 3000 B. C., there was public sanitation system as an important

part of town management. The evacuation in Mohanjado and Harappa has shown the

public sanitation and drainage system in the ruins of city, even in those days it was

noticed that, the system was not enough, and it was neglected. The negligence was

1212

noticed even in Ancient India like today. In ancient rural India people use to defecate in

open grounds.

In post-independent India, government is taking continuous efforts for

development in water supply and public sanitation system. ‘Environmental Hygiene

Committee’ appointed by the government of India in 1948-49, made recommendations of

a Integrated System to provide basic infrastructural needs of water supply and public

hygiene and sanitation within 40 years after independence. The government has

implemented several schemes of water supply, hygiene and sanitation in every five year

plans. Though there is gradual increase in funds provided by government, the results are

not satisfactory. In the fifth five year plan the rural water supply system was brought

under Minimum Need Programme by the government of India. Under this scheme the

villages without a single safe water source and the village with water scarcity were

identified. In the sixth five year plan out of 2.32 lacs of villages in 1.92 lacs of villages

the Indian government has provided atleast one source of safe drinking water.

The decade of 1981-90, was declared as International decade for water supply and

sanitation, it was also declared by the government of India. Out of this declaration

government achieved success in providing safe drinking water to 77% of urban

population and 31% of rural population in India. The infrastructural facilities regarding

hygiene and sanitation was provided to 27% of urban population and only 0.5% of rural

population. It was not a satisfactory picture in India.

A report published by Planning Commission of India, in 2002, it is mentioned

that, the government has provided safe drinking water to 69 to 74% of population and yet

26 to 31% of rural population is deprived of it. The figure showing the position of

hygiene and sanitation facilities shows that 75 to 81% of urban population have latrines

in their home and only 19 to 19% of rural population have the facility of latrine at home.

An essay published by government of India in 2003, regarding the facilities of hygiene

and sanitation, according to census of 2001, shows that only 22% of rural population

avail facility of latrine at their home, the figures are frustrating because yet 78% of rural

population defecate on the open grounds.

1313

Indian Planning Commission in 2002, has accepted the issue of decentralization,

public centralization of the system of hygiene and sanitation which will be based on

demand and sensibility of population. Beginning from 1999, the government made

charges in this policy of providing infrastructure for hygiene and sanitation. The

implementation of Total Sanitation Campaign (T. S. C.) is the part of the charged

government policy in India and as well as in Maharashtra. Under this scheme the

government is trying to provide basic infrastructural facilities of hygiene and sanitation to

the rural population in the country and equally in the state of Maharashtra.

Facilities for safe drinking water are satisfactory in the rural areas too, but

facilities of sanitation including toilets facility in the houses in rural areas is frustrating

and there is a need of lot of efforts to be taken by state government. The researcher has

taken a review of provision of pure water and sanitation facilities in the state of

Maharashtra. It is necessary to study the impact of Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata

Abhiyan in relation to the changing issues by the central and state government regarding

supply of pure water and the sanitation facilities.

A review of water supply and public sanitation system in Maharashtra

Right from 1960, the government of Maharashtra has spent a lot of money under

the scheme ‘Pure Water and Clean Village’ to provide pure drinking water and sanitation

facilities to the rural masses in the state. Figures shown in the magazine ‘Jal Swaraja’

published by government of Maharashtra reveals that so far the state government has

already spent Rs. 16.6 cores on supply of pure and safe drinking water and Rs 555 cores

for sanitation facilities, apart of this huge investment the contemporary picture of water

supply and public sanitation in the state is not satisfactory.

It is recorded in the magazine ‘Jal Swaraj’ regarding shortage of water in the state

of Maharashtra out of 86681, Grampanchayts in 25,500 Grampanchayat people are not

getting minimum required water i.e. 40 liter/day/capita. On an average 20,000 villages

are not getting enough water in the year and the water is supplied through tankers to 5500

Grampanchayats. An average expenditure incurred by the government every year for

temporary water supply is 100 corers.

1414

In a survey it is noticed that in 1996, out of 96.25 lacs of families in rural

Maharashtra only 6 lacs of families have toilets in their home. Due to lack of this

facilities women in the rural families were facing problems. Ultimately it resulted in the

environmental pollution and its impact of the health of rural population.

In 1997 to 2000, the government of Maharashtra, under a special drive, provided

financial assistance to rural people to provide facility of latrines and spent 16.61 lacs of

rupees as a share to construct latrines. The scheme and financial assistance given by the

government resulted helpless as the rural people have not shown their interest in the

matter, to spent their own share.

There is a need of provision of atleast Rs. 800 corers for the maintenance of

facilities made for water supply, hygiene and sanitation. Tax expected to get from water

supply per year in the state is Rs. 200 corers, but the exact revenue collected by

government under this head is approximately Rs. 120 corers, there is deficit of 80 corers.

Thus it is clear that 5.57 corers of rural population in the state pay only 6 paisa for 40

liters of water utilization per day. The average cost of water per liter paid by population

to the state government is 0.15 paisa and for one liter of mineral water in the market we

have to pay atleast Rs. 10.

It is a question that we pay Rs. 10 for a liter of water in the market and we are not

ready to pay 0.15 paisa to government for the same one liter of water. It clearly shows

that the common population has developed a habit of dependence on the government for

the provision of basic needs like water supply. This habit of common population is the

root cause of this problem, simply one cannot blame the government.

Before 1960, the role of state government in rural water supply was almost

negligible. It was limited to the scheme of ‘One village and one source of water’. The

government use to provide a well and manual lifting system of water.

Later on government has started supply driven policy of water supply. It was

comprise of huge technology in water supply. Like lifting of water from a distant source

with pipe line. The government also started to spend huge amount of money on water

supply. The Central government, State government, administrative system, local political

leaders, technicians and the common population participated in the system of water

1515

supply. During implementation of supply driven policy in rural water supply some of the

important issues were neglected by state government like strengthening of the source of

water, water recycling and reuse of water. A drilled bore well by the government was

used for a period of a year only. There were number of limitations and drawbacks in

supply driven policy of water supply.

On 27th

July 2000, the government of Maharashtra changed the policy of water

supply. The supply driven policy was discontinued by government and implemented a

new policy where the share from people was made compulsory. Village Grampanchayat

and gram sabhas were given powers for the implementation of such schemes. Selection of

type of facility, selection of technology, utilization of funds were left to be decided by

Grampanchayats and the people. To develop awareness of ownership for such schemes

the idea of financial share from people came forward. New water supply and sanitation

facilities were created by the people and for the people. The role played by government

was providing technical assistance and a part of financial assistance up to certain limit.

The responsibilities of water supply and public sanitation were given to special

committees formed by Grampanchayat and Zilla Parishad decided to provide assistance

to local committees, thus the system is led by the people and assisted by the government.

In the year 2003, government of Maharashtra accepted and implemented total

sanitation campaign in the state. Instead of providing assistance for construction of

latrines, government decided to make the villages free from public execrate grounds. The

important parts of this campaign were participation of people in the campaign, toilets in

school, toilets for women at the public places and individual sanitation. Education,

knowledge and communication were the decided tools for the campaign. Creating

cleanliness and hygiene in village was the goal of this campaign. In addition to this

‘Nirmal Gram’ scheme was also implemented by the government the awards of Rs. 2 to 4

lacs were declared to the villages.

It is quiet clear that, though the government was making efforts from 1960 for the

purpose of public sanitation and water supply but the efforts proved fruitless. The

government implemented the new policy I 2001 with active participation of people and

1616

Sant Gadgebaba Swachata Abhiyan is the part of it at the state level and total sanitation

campaign at the national level. Both the schemes were now implemented in Maharashtra.

Section B : Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan

In this section the researcher has thrown light on the nature, scope and importance

of Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan.

In the year 2000-01, Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan and Rashtra Sant

Tukdoji Maharaj Swach Gram Spardha come into existence and in the year 2001-02

Mahatam Gandhi Swach Panchayat Samitee and Swach Zilla Parishad schemes were

implemented by the government. In these schemes it was decided to honour, appreciate

and award the villages performing best duties in the sector of public hygiene and

sanitation.

There was remarkable increase in the response to Sant Gadgebaba Gram

Swachata Abhiyan by the villagers. The scheme has brought awareness among the

common folk regarding cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation. A slogan ‘From cleanliness

to prosperity’ turned into a concept with the active participation and share of people. The

government of Maharashtra achieved success in creating a culture of cleanliness. Now

Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan not only remained a scheme but it turned into a

public movement, as it was expected by the government. The government decided to

increase public share and participation for more effective implementation of the scheme.

The greatest cause of rural pollution is excrement at open places which may cause

severe and life long health problems. Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan helped to

keep the village clean, people realized the importance of latrines and decided not to be

dependent on the assistance by the government, they took self initiative for the

construction of latrines. The Abhiyan resulted in the use and construction of latrines in

villages. Excrement on the open ground even by a single individual may lead to cause the

epidemic diseases like colera, fever and gaundice. Pollution of water source by human

excreta and drinking of this polluted water causes several health problems, thus the use of

latrines must be the unavoidable part of rural life. Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata

1717

Abhiyan inspired people for construction and valid use of latrines. The implementation of

the Abhiyan was intensified by the state government in the year 2003-04. Government

also took more efforts for hygienic handling of food material and drinking water which

my keep people away from epidemic diseases which were too common.

With consideration of the issues of water supply, hygiene and sanitation,

government of Maharashtra published a circular with details of Sant Gadgebaba Gram

Swachata Abhiyan to be implemented in the state. A resolution was taken by the

government for cleanliness and hygiene of houses and villages and ultimately for health

and enhanced life style of rural population to bring the slogan ‘From cleanliness to

prosperity’ is reality. In this scheme the government expected active participation and

public share for effective implementation of the scheme. There is a need of bringing

innovations in the scheme by using available raw material, traditional knowledge and

creativity. In developing new techniques for cleanliness, hygiene and sanitation by

public, the government will play the role a guide, assistance and partner. To achieve the

ultimate goal, from the year 2000-01 Sant Gadgebaba Gram Swachata Abhiyan come

into existence.

With the efforts of government the scheme turned into a public movement from

the year 2003-04 and it was decided to implement the scheme throughout the year in the

state of Maharashtra by the state government. It was also decided to award and honour

the villages with cash prizes.

A) Under the scheme active Grampanchayat will be awarded with the cash prizes

under the name ‘Rashtra Sant Tukdoji Maharaj’ a visionary saint of Maharashtra

who spread his message through the ‘Gram Gita’. The prize decided by

government are as under :

2. At the district level, three villages from the district will be awarded.

3. At regional level, two villages from the region.

4. At state level the best three villages of state will be awarded.

‘Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi’ to one Zilla Parishad and one Panchayat Samitee

from every revenue region of the state who gained more than 50% marks and at

the state level three Zilla Parishads and three Panchayat Samitees will be awarded

with cash prizes, certificate and momento.
