The proposed Jharkhand Urban Water Supply Improvement Project (JUWSIP) would support urban service improvement strategies and policy initiatives of the Government of Jharkhand (GOJ) to contribute to improved urban living under the Jharkhand Vision and Action Plan 2021. The project will complement ongoing efforts of the GOJ for water supply infrastructure and service improvement and institutional reforms under various national flagship programs. JUWSIP will finance water supply infrastructure investments in four prioritized urban local bodies (ULBs). The towns selected include the state’s capital city Ranchi, and three towns located in economically and socially backward areas of Jhumri Telaiya, Hussainabad and Medininagar. Output 1: Water supply infrastructure in four Project towns improved. The Project will finance water supply infrastructure investments in four Project towns. The infrastructure investments involve construction and 5 years of performance-based O&M of piped water supply system in Project towns comprising of: (i) four water treatment plants with combined capacity of 275 million liters per day (MLD) meeting Indian water quality standards (IS:10500),1 and (ii) 940 kilometers (km) of climate-resilient water distribution network connected to about 115,000 households to ensure 24/7 water supply with non-revenue water reduced from current level of 45% to 20%. The water supply will have universal coverage including below poverty line, scheduled caste, scheduled tribe and households with disabled persons in the Project areas. The Project will provide vocational training for employable job skills in construction and O&M of water supply assets to at least 100 community members (50 women). Output 2: Institutional capacity for sustainable urban service delivery and urban governance improved. The physical investments will be complemented with targeted institutional and financial reforms and capacity building to create an institutional framework for the ULBs in Jharkhand to replicate and follow. These include: (i) sustainable water sector asset management strategy including user charges policy for O&M cost recovery prepared and implemented in at least two Project towns; (ii) urban reforms policy on strengthening own-source revenues of ULBs prepared with three key actions implemented in two Project towns; (iii) information technology enabled systems for water service delivery and administration adopted in Ranchi through use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for water supply operations, and mapping of assets, properties, and revenue database on geographic information system (GIS); (iv) training of relevant staff on, (a) design and implementation of urban services, including response to climate risks; (b) institutional development, urban governance, revenue generation, and financial planning, and operational dimensions; and (c) inclusion of gender equality and inclusive social features in urban services;2 and (v) improved awareness on, (a) behavior change activities focusing on water conservation, health, sanitation, and hygiene; (b) spread of epidemics or pandemics such as coronavirus disease; and (c) pilot vocational training for prospective job opportunities in construction and O&M. Subproject Scope. This proposed subproject (JUWSIP/03) will support the development and operation and maintenance [O&M] of new raw water intake for water supply in Ranchi City. The subproject is designed to meet the water requirement of Ranchi for the year 2050 (30 years planning period as per the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization, (CPHEEO) guidelines). Proposed subproject components are: (i) construction of 950 m forebay channel including intake channel

  • Transport Linkage Analysis of Rural Markets in Peripheral Blocks of Ranchi, Jharkhand
    Jharkhand Journal of Development and Management Studies XISS, Ranchi, Vol. 15, No.4, December 2017, pp.7507-7525 TRANSPORT LINKAGE ANALYSIS OF RURAL MARKETS IN PERIPHERAL BLOCKS OF RANCHI, JHARKHAND Shiv Kumar1 Transport linkages are the wealth of a nation. They act as a tool for social inclusion, economic development and environmental sustainability. Transport link communities and their agricultural produce to the main transport system and markets. This results in increased production and productivity, crop diversification and increased profitability. Network has great impact on rural markets. The selling and buying activity has increased to a large extent due to the inner-connecting lanes of the markets. One characteristic feature of the rural markets of Ranchi city and its periphery is that they have developed with close association with network i.e. transportation routes. In a city like Ranchi, two types of transport network predominate - Roadways and Railways. This paper aims to throw light on network of rural markets in the periphery of Ranchi city and assesses how they can be improved. The existing inadequacy of network in the peripheral area has been discussed in this study which is mainly based on the collection of primary data. A total of 52 rural markets were surveyed from 3 peripheral blocks (Kanke -20, Namkum -15 and Ratu -17 rural markets). The study concludes that the existence of rural markets is threatened due to the lack of connectivity as the producers/sellers are not getting adequate benefit from their produce as lot of profit is lost by the middlemen, cost of transport, perishable goods rot during the time taken to reach the market.

  • Impact on Farm Economics of Changing Seed Use a Study in Jharkhand
    Impact on Farm Economics of Changing Seed Use A Study in Jharkhand Suman Sahai Manoj Gautam, Aditya Kumar, Joe Hill J-235/A, Lane W-15C, Sainik Farms, Khanpur, New Delhi -110 062 Phone : +91-11-29556248, Fax : +91-11-29555961 Email : [email protected] Web: www.genecampaign.org 1 Introduction Till recently, Jharkhand’s farmers overwhelmingly cultivated traditional varieties of rice along with some high yielding varieties or HYVs. Since the late 1990s, a third type of rice seed – the private sector owned hybrid rice is available and is actively promoted by the agriculture university and the state’s agriculture department. The history of the development of improved rice varieties in India dates to the first half of the 20th century when pure line method of selection enabled the release of some 445 indica varieties1. From 1965 an inter-racial hybridisation programme between semi-dwarf Taiwanese types and indica types of rice led to the development of Taichung (Native) - I, and the release of the Padma and Jaya semi-dwarf varieties of rice. Thereafter began the prolific release of what are now known as high yielding varieties (HYVs) with 123 varieties released in 12 years as compared to the 51 high yielding varieties released in the previous four decades. The semi-dwarf varieties were generally found to be superior to the tall traditional varieties in efficiency of grain production. Their short height also made them resilient to lodging in strong winds, so the grain was not lost when the plant fell to the ground. In 1994 the first four hybrids were released (APHR-1, APHR-2, MGR-1 and KRH-1).
