  • India Country Brief for the Water Sector
    INDIA1 Sector privatized Water privatization involves transferring of water resources control and/or water management services to private companies. The water management service may include operation and management (O&M), bill collection, treatment, distribution of water and waste water treatment in a community. Privatization type Water privatization in India has several facets. Though outright PSP (Private Sector Participation) model is currently less used in policy and project development circles, the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model is more preferred in urban water supply, waste water treatment, hydro power and probably in irrigation sector too, but critically the fundamentals of both the models remain the same. The current trends in the water sector projects show that the private companies are taking various business models and strategies to enter the water supply business like Design, Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (DBOOT), management contracts for distribution, treatment and O&M. These are used for water supply infrastructure development, maintenance and rehabilitation of existing facilities such as water treatment plants that require significant finance. The private operator is required to finance, construct, operate and maintain the facility for a specific period of time (usually more than 20 years). At the end of the term the infrastructure may be turned over to the municipality or the contract is renewed. An example of BOOT contract is the Tiruppur Water Supply and Sewerage Project in Tamil Nadu India and also the Borai Industrial Water Supply Project, under which a 22-year lease over a stretch of the Sheonath River in Chhattisgarh was accorded to Radius Water, Inc. for water supply to an industrial estate.In places like Mumbai, Nagpur, Hubli- Dharwad, Bangalore, privatization is being implemented by handing over management and operation of the water business through management contracts with the public services utilities.

  • Volunteering in India
    VOLUNTEERING IN INDIA Contexts, Perspectives and Discourses 1 Foreword Volunteerism has long been an integral part of the Indian society shaped by traditions and value systems rooted in the religion and cultural interactions. The volunteers from diverse backgrounds have gone about celebrating the spirit of volunteerism in the best manner they know – rendering selfless service to their fellow beings and the community at large. The observance of International Year of Volunteers (IYV) in 2001 underscores the importance of people-to-people relations as core values of volunteerism. The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly to mark the Tenth Anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers (IYV+10) in 2011 rekindled the spirit of volunteerism and provided the opportunity to reflect on the status and growth of volunteerism worldwide. The role of volunteers in creation and development of social capital, civic engagement and social cohesion is now well documented. Against the backdrop of challenges, exciting new avenues for people to volunteer have opened up. It is also significant to note the role of technological revolution and its contribution to new forms of volunteering like micro-volunteering and online volunteering. These are going to be the key in future forms of volunteering discourses. It is notable that eighty-seven per cent of people aged 15 to 24 live in developing countries. They can play an important role to achieve the Millennium Development Goals adopting various ways to engage. Tenth International year of volunteers (IYV+10) offered the opportunity to the youth world over to further the volunteering agenda through their creativity, energy and commitment.
