No The World Bank Atal Bhujal Yojana (Abhy)-National Groundwater Management Improvement (P158119) I. PROGRAM STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING 1. The Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABhY) – National Groundwater Management Improvement Program was approved by the World Bank Board of Executive Directors on June 5, 2018. Signing of the Loan Agreement was delayed pending approval of the Program by the Cabinet of the Government of India (GOI) which happened on December 24, 2019, for an implementation start of April 1, 2020. The Loan Agreement was signed on February 17, 2020 and was declared effective on March 24, 2020. In its letter of May 29, 2020, the Department of Economic Affairs requested the Bank to extend the Loan Agreement closing date to September 28, 2025, to render the Bank-financed Program coterminous with the GOI Program. 2. Despite the challenges posed by the national lockdown and the focus on addressing the COVID-19 crisis, preparation for the launch of the Program in the seven participating States (Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madya Pradesh) is proceeding well. Important start-up activities have been initiated in the first two months of the implementation of the GOI Program. The National Program Management Unit (NPMU) at Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) has been constituted and is being staffed. The Ministry has issued Program Guidelines (PG) and the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to be signed between MoJS and the participating States. In addition, the NPMU has developed standard documents and templates for the Program Implementation Plan (PIP), Procurement Plan (PP), Annual Work Plan (AWP) and baseline data format at the Gram Panchayat (GP) level, and sample tender documents for sharing with states along with the PG to facilitate standardized implementation of the Program. The development of Management Information System and the baseline for the DLIs are being finalized with the participating States. 3. Both PDO and IP ratings for ABhY are Moderately Satisfactory. There are no pending audit reports as well as environmental and social safeguards. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES 1. This Restructuring Paper proposes: (a) an extension of the closing date of Loan No. 8874-IN to September 28, 2025; (b) an updated implementation schedule of the Program; and (c) revised disbursement projections over the implementation of the Program. The Restructuring Paper also updates the name of the responsible national ministry, reflecting the creation of the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) in May 2019 on the basis of the merger of the erstwhile Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation and Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation. Following the creation of the MoJS, the Ministry of Water Resources, Ganga Rejuvenation and River Development was renamed as Department of Water Resources, Ganga Rejuvenation & River Development.

    Dear Friends, We are happy to bring you the Jan-Mar-2021 quarter issue of the WIN Newsletter. The Covid19 situation, after showing substantial reduction in cases upto February, has again deteriorated, with sudden and rapid growth in the number of new cases in March. Strong recovery rate and our growing vaccination program provide ground for cautious optimism. Fortunately, as the world’s largest producer and user of vaccines, India is well placed in terms of the Covid Vaccine production and stocks as well as a strong immunisation program. Our economy shows encouraging recovery with resumption of most economic activities, with very strong upturn in basic consumption goods, rural sales and corporate results. Travel still remains highly restricted, a major barrier to collaborations, field visits and also a significant barrier for startups with physical products. Our project partners have now reached nearly the full level in project work, having worked out creative ways to carry forward projects during the pandemic. Our R&D projects reached promising stages. These include the IIT Kharagpur project to take sewage water through modular multi- stage process to potable level water output, IIT Bombay project to produce prototypes for household desalination using capacitive deionisation through carbon nanotubes technology, and IIT Gandhinagar project of household decontamination filter using Surface Engineered Particle technology. Our NGO partners continue to work with communities, and in addition help bring new innovations to these communities, through multi-stakeholder and community empowerment approach. In this issue, we cover our multi-stakeholder approach in Water and Sanitation, bringing value to grass root interventions with multiple innovations in technology and processes, community empowerment and knowledge management.
