Dear Friends,
Deewali greetings from Manthan Adhyan Kendra.
As you all know Private Sector Participation (PSP) in water sector is increasing at a very fast rate and there is serious implications of such projects on the common man as well as the impoverished. After the implementation of JNNURM and UIDSSMT, the number of private water projects have increased. Khandwa is the first town in Madhya Pradesh to execute a private water project under this scheme, hence the findings of this project would be important for other towns as well which are looking for implementing water projects under UIDSSMT in the country.
Recently we have published a report on "Private Water Supply Augmentation Project in Khandawa" which largely focuses on the issues related to the new private water supply augmentation project from Indira Sagar dam across Narmada.
The report examines various aspects related to the new water supply project like finance, no parallel competing facility, 24x7 water supply to the town, revision of water tariffs among others.
