Abstract

As part of WASHCost (India) Project, the team is engaged in assessing the existing policy framework in WASH sector. This paper traces the evolution of WASH policies in the country and makes a critical assessment of policy guidelines (2010) issued by National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), Government of India. The paper broadly concludes that the new guidelines are a step in the right direction, but fall short in a number of follow up aspects for achieving the stated objectives. Besides, as is the case with earlier guidelines, they fail to provide an effective framework for operationalising the guidelines at the implementation level. This paper attempts to assess these policies critically and suggest ways to make them effective in terms of operationalising them. [authors abstract]
