 INTRODUCTION
• The first major push to rural water supply
came with the Accelerated Rural Water
Supply Program(AWRSP) in the 1970s, which
gave gull grant to the State governments for
implementing water supply schemes in
problem villages.
• The second major push came by establishing
the National Drinking Water Mission(NDWM).
• The government of India Launched the
National Rural Drinking Water
Program(NRDWP) in April 2009 by modifying
the ARWSP and subsuming earlier
submissions/schemes.

Key Components of
NRDWP
• Infrastructure development like
Handpumps, Wells etc.)
• Water quality monitoring and surveillance
• Capacity building and community
participation
• Information, Education, and
Community(IEC) activities
• OPERATION & MAINTENANCE (O&M) for
expenditure on running, repair and
replacement costs of drinking water
supply projects
ACHIEVEMENT
S
• Progress in providing access to safe drinking water
• Reduction of waterborne disease
• Success stories from different regions
• As on 1 April 2019, 81% of rural habitations had been completely
covered at 40 lpcd, and 47% were fully covered as per 55 lpcd.
• The Union Cabinet approved a sum of Rs.23,050 crore for the
program for the 2017-18 to 2019-20 period.
• As on 1 April 2019, 33% of rural habitations accounting for 41%
of India’s rural population, were fully covered by the Public
Water System (PWS).
• In the Union Budget 2019, the government announced the Har
Ghar Jal scheme under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) to ensure
PWS for every rural household by 2024.
• In the Union budget 2019, the government promised the Piped
Water Supply (PWS) to every rural household by 2024 under the
JJM.
CHALLENGE
S
GEOGRAPHICAL
CHALLENGES
• Graphical challenges in the National Rural
Drinking Water Program(NRDWP) involve
difficulties in visual representation and
communication of data.
• In short, these challenges include issues
with complex data visualization, timely
mapping of rural areas and water sources,
effective stakeholder engagement through
visual storytelling, real-time monitoring
system implementation, and ensuring
graphical literacy among stakeholders.
• Overcoming these graphical challenges is
crucial for efficient planning, monitoring,
and communication within the NRDWP.
CHALLENGE
S
FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS
• Financial constraints in the National Rural Drinking
Water Program (NRDWP) refer to limitations or
challenges related to the availability and allocation of
financial resources for implementing and sustaining
the program.
• These constraints can impact various aspects of the
program, including infrastructure development, water
quality monitoring, capacity building, and overall
effectiveness.
• Insufficient funding may hinder the program's ability
to reach its goals and provide safe drinking water to
rural communities.
CHALLENGE
S
TECHNICAL BARRIERS
• Technical barriers in the National Rural Drinking
Water Program (NRDWP) include challenges
related to the implementation and management of
water infrastructure.
• Briefly, these barriers encompass issues such as
outdated infrastructure, limited access to
technology, inadequate information systems,
difficulties in monitoring and surveillance, water
quality testing constraints, technological literacy
gaps, energy shortages, geographic challenges,
