22 Services Were Made Online Of The Rural People Of Gujarat

In the end, India is facing daunting and predictable challenges in enforcing the lockdown and also making sure the poor and homeless are not fatally hurt. Much of it, Dr Snowden told me, will depend on whether the economic and living consequences of the lockdown strategy are carefully managed, and the consent of the people is won. "If not, there is a potential for very serious hardship, social tension and resistance." India has already announced a $22bn relief package for those affected by the lockdown.

To provide potable water in adequate quantities and of prescribed quality to every household, the Gujarat government is all set to implement a sensor-based service delivery monitoring system in the rural drinking water.The monitoring system, comes under the Government of India's Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) programme, is already underway in two districts on a pilot basis to monitor the functionality of water supply in the rural water sector regularly on a long-term basis. The state already has good community involvement in drinking water supply management, which kick-started in 2002 through the Water and Sanitation Management Organisation (WASMO).Out of 93.6 lakh rural households in the state, 65 lakh (70%) are already having

household tap connections. “The state now plans to provide 11.15 lakh household tap connections in rural areas in 2020-21,” according to an official communication.“A meeting was held between state officials with the department of drinking water and sanitation to finalise an annual action plan in this regard. The state has prepared a plan taking into account the difficulty being faced in achieving the Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs). The remaining areas are having large cattle populations, hilly terrain with low population density, coastal areas with high salinity, areas having low level of surface water resources & also including areas with perennial large water sources. Gujarat state has set the target year of 100% coverage by the year September 2022,” informed the statement.The state is giving substantial thrust on capitalising on ‘low-hanging fruits’ i.e. in the villages/ habitations where piped water supply schemes already exist, to yield the desired results. The state plans to immediately provide FHTCs to all remaining households of weaker sections on priority. A defined roadmap is also charted for the effective implementation of Village Action Plan (VAP) with the active participation of the rural community, read the statement.The JJM announced by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year aims to provide tap water connections to 18 crore rural households of the country by the year 2024. This ambitious scheme is benefitting all the states as the States/ UTs are working hard to ensure every rural household gets water tap connection.Owing to the current situation of Covid-19 pandemic, water has to be made available for all, for which the Government of India has issued advisory to states to take up works related to water supply on priority. Henceforth, a proper plan by Gram Panchayats and Villages is needed to ensure that household taps are made available in rural households. This will ensure drinking water in household premises and also facilitate social distancing by minimising crowd in public stand-posts.Follow and connect with us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedinWater and Sanitation Management OrganisationRural AreasNarendra ModiJal Jeevan MissionGujarat

Two-level random-effects regression models were applied for each of the primary and secondary outcomes. For continuous and categorical outcomes, cluster-level means and proportion were used, respectively. In the case of proportion, the mean of proportion by cluster was calculated and reported. Analysis was done at the ASHA level. The differences with effect size and p-value for each outcome were also reported. The effect size was adjusted for maternal age, caste, parity, below poverty line (BPL) card status, and women’s education level. The denominator for outcomes related to pregnancy and postnatal services included respondents of type A. The
