Summary: | The operation and maintenance (O&M)
expenditures incurred on rural water supply schemes in India
is commonly much less than required and this has serious
implications on their performance. This is one of the major
findings of the 10-state (Punjab, Maharashtra, Kerala, West
Bengal, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh, and Uttarkand) study on the Effectiveness of Rural
Water Supply Schemes undertaken by the World Bank at the
request of the Government of India. The study also analyzed
the issue of cost recovery, which is generally low, but
differs across states, among technologies, and between
demand-driven and supply-driven schemes. |
