12290540.Pdf Preparatory Survey on Ganga Rejuvenation Project Final Report CHAPTER 10 Operation and Maintenance of Sewerage Facilities <Objective of the study> The followings are confirmed/studied in this Chapter: 1) Confirmation of current practice of the sewerage sector, 2) Guidelines for the O&M, 3) Existing sewerage assets, 4) Performance Indicator, 5) O&M costs, 6) Capacity building, 7) Training Plan, <Result of the study> Based on the collected information and analysis on it, Survey Team is suggesting some improvement plans in performance indicators, effluent quality, modification of responsibilities, capacity building as well as training plans. 10.1 Introduction Sewerage facilities to be operated and maintained include sewers, intermediate pump stations (IPSs) and sewage treatment plants (STPs) in the Project Area that consists of Varanasi city and nearby towns of Chunar, Mirzapur, Saidpur, Ghazipur and Ramnagar. Presently, O&M of these facilities is performed by the government agencies through their own staff and there is no outsourcing of the O&M. However, the guidelines of the current government schemes such as Mission for Clean Ganga and AMRUT require the initial five years of O&M to be included in the scope of the construction contractor, which will require a shift in the O&M policy. This section will provide information on the current O&M practice, requirement of the current government schemes, information on the current assets and proposed assets that will be required O&M and a list of issues to be addressed during this Preparatory Survey. 10.2 Current Practice and NGRBA/NMCG Guidelines for O&M 10.2.1 Current Practice The Jalkal operates under the Nagar Nigam and looks after O&M of all the water supply infrastructure (treatment plant to house connection) and underground sewer network (home connection to pump station or STP inlet). Though the UP Jal Nigam is primarily as executing agency that undertakes construction of water supply and sewerage works, it also looks after the O&M of sewage pump stations and sewage treatment plants on behalf of Nagar Nigam, as the Nagar Nigam does not have the technical knowhow to maintain these assets. This arrangement for O&M is practiced throughout the State of Uttar Pradesh. The UPJN regional office, such as the UPJN office in Varanasi prepares the estimate for annual O&M of the sewage pump stations and STPs in Varanasi City as well as in nearby towns such as Mirzapur. The O&M budget is prepared as per the NGRBA (National Ganga River Basin Authority), 10-1 Preparatory Survey on Ganga Rejuvenation Project Final Report Government of India, guidelines, which specify the staff and other O&M requirements for different capacity STPs and based on capital cost. The costs such calculated are used for tendering purpose. The O&M estimate is sent to respective Nagar Nigam offices for review and counter signature. Once signed by the Nagar Nigam, the estimate is forwarded by UPJN, Varanasi office to the UPJN head office in Lucknow. UPJN head office compiles such O&M budgets received from various offices and then gets the funds from the State Government, which are then utilized for the O&M. The O&M budget is inclusive of electricity charges, and these are directly paid by the UPJN head office to the Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board. The remaining amount is transferred to the respective offices for O&M of STPs and pump stations. The O&M budget for Varanasi City sewage facilities for 2015-16 is Rs 252.5 million. The UPJN, Varanasi office has the following organization chart. General Manager, Varanasi Civil (Ex Eng) Civil (Ex Eng) Civil (Ex Eng) Civil (Ex Eng) 4 No Asst Eng 4 No Asst Eng 4 No Asst Eng 4 No Asst Eng 12 – 16 Jr Eng 12 – 16 Jr Eng 12 – 16 Jr Eng 12 – 16 Jr Eng Thus, the General Manager has 4 Executive Engineers, 16 Assistant Engineers and about 50 – 60 Junior Engineers under him to execute the capital works as well as to perform O&M of the sewage pump stations and treatment plants. There is no dedicated O&M wing in UPJN. The Bhagwanpur and Dinapur STPs are operated by the Ganga Pollution Prevention Unit (GPPU) of UPJN. For O&M of the sewer network, following equipment is available with Varanasi Jalkal office: 6 nos of jetting cum sucker machines. Out of these, two machines were procured in 2013 and four were procured in 2014 1 no of super sucker machine 2 nos of bucket machines 4 nos of old jetting cum sucker machines, which are to be renovated 10-2 Preparatory Survey on Ganga Rejuvenation Project Final Report Machines for septage management are proposed under the GAP II, and Rs 30 million budgetary provision has been made for this purpose through the capacity building component. Jalkal officials have expressed desire to procure additional septage management machines due to large number of unconnected houses with septic tanks. 10.2.2 NMCG / NGRBA / AMRUT Guidelines for O&M National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) is the implementation wing of National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA). It is a registered society originally formed by Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) on 12th August 2011 under the Societies Registration Act, 1860. As per the 306th amendment in the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961, both NGRBA and NMCG are allocated to the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR,RD &GR). As per the approval of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), the mandate of NGRBA is being implemented by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG). At national level NMCG is the coordinating body and is being supported by States Level Program Management Groups (SPMGs) of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar and West Bengal which, are also registered as societies under Societies Registration Act, 1860 and a dedicated Nodal Cell in Jharkhand. The area of operation of NMCG is the Ganga River Basin, including the states through which Ganga flows, as well as the National Capital Territory of Delhi, and the guidelines of NGRBA are applicable to the Ganga Rejuvenation project being proposed for Varanasi and surrounding towns. The NGRBA Guidelines state that: i. First 5 years O & M cost to be in-built in the project cost. This will ensure unhindered O & M of assets which is necessary for achieving the river cleaning objectives. ii. Next 10 years O & M cost to be also worked out with revenue generation plan. The O & M responsibility beyond 5th year will rest with the State Government/ ULB. iii. Tripartite MoA amongst MoEF, State Government and the local body is also to be signed. State governments are expected to take all necessary measures available at their control to address this problem in a sustainable manner. iv. Funds for O&M for a period of 5 years initially, would be shared in the ratio of 70:30 between the Centre and the State Government. v. It is necessary to accurately work out O&M cost. The records of O&M of assets created under 10-3 Preparatory Survey on Ganga Rejuvenation Project Final Report GAP/NRCP may be examined carefully and updated to the current levels as well as the periods when new facilities would be ready for operation. Cost of electricity is the major component of O&M accounting singly for 65-70%. These as well as other components like manpower, consumables, etc. should be calculated on a realistic basis to arrive at the total annual cost to operate an asset. Continuous availability of electricity for both STPs and PSs must be ensured on round the clock basis by the implementing agency. vi. Preventive maintenance or repairs needed after a few year's initial operations are often lost sight of. This is an important element of overall O&M cost and must be provided for appropriately. vii. The DPR must clearly reflect the total component-wise funds needed for O&M and how and wherefrom these would be provided. The NGRBA has also provided detailed guidelines for providing O&M Staff and O&M Staff quarters in Annexure 7 of the ‘Guidelines for Preparation of Project Reports under National River Conservation Plan and National Ganga River Basin Authority’ published in December 2010. This Annexure 7 is reproduced and enclosed as Annex-I. Though these guidelines are for calculation of the O&M cost when O&M is performed by the government departments, the same will be used for calculating O&M expenditure, with suitable margin for contractor’s profit. AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) scheme was launched by the Central Government in 2014, and it intends to take up 500 Indian cities with more than 100,000 population with purpose to (i) ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water and a sewerage connection; (ii) increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces (e.g. parks); and (iii) reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport (e.g. walking and cycling). Under the AMRUT scheme, 100 cities will be transformed into Smart Cities, and Varanasi is on this list. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the guidelines proposed by AMRUT for O&M, which are given below, and are more concerned with service levels to be provided to the consumers: i. Experience with past programmes has shown that once projects are completed the ULBs pay little attention to the operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets created. Therefore, the tender should include O & M for five years based on user charges.

  • Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India)
    Sacred Journeys and Profane Travellers: Representation and Spatial Practice in Varanasi (India) Cristiana Zara Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2011 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Declaration of Authorship I Cristiana Zara hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with tourist representations and practices in India. Orientalist aesthetics have often associated this country with notions of spirituality and mysticism; tourist narratives sustain and reinforce such representations by describing India as a land of ancient rituals and timeless traditions. The visual construction of India’s ‘spiritual landscapes’ has been largely deployed as a powerful tool for subduing the unfamiliar Other within reassuring epistemological categories. However, tourism research has recently become interested in exploring the role of tourist practices in landscape production. Not only do tourists ‘gaze upon’ landscapes, they also script landscapes through practices and performances. By focusing on the case of Varanasi, the Indian pilgrimage city on the banks of the Ganges, this thesis shows how tourist practices (re)produce and make sense of the city’s ‘sacredscape’. Special attention is paid to the riverfront, which epitomizes the cultural and spiritual significance ascribed to the city. Both Hindu and tourist narratives depict the riverfront as embodying a special power, a unique meaning, whether this uniqueness is held to be a ‘spiritual’ or a ‘picturesque’ one. The thesis analyses the city’s riverfront as the place where tourist, ritual, and day-to-day activities are played out and negotiated, and where the aesthetics of landscape is confronted with the materialities and the practices inherent to this place.

  • Theology of Karman
    ERIK REENBERG SAND Theology of Karman Merit, death and release in the case of Varanasi, India The motives of pilgrims Pilgrimage has, of course, many aspects worth studying. To mention a few; one may focus on the ritual aspect and study pilgrimage as a ritual pro cess, focus sing on the various rituals being performed by the pilgrims on the way to their goal, or, once they have reached their goal, either by the pilgrims or by ritual specialists. One may also focus on the experiential or psychological, or on the social aspects of pilgrimage. Or, one may focus on a combination of all of these aspects, as, for example, is the case with the studies of Victor Turner (Turner 1973, 1974; Turner & Turner 1978). In this article, I shall focus on the question as to what motives the pil­ grims may have for performing pilgrimage, and, in doing this, I shall be deal­ ing especi ally with the Hindu tradition, namely with pilgrimage to Varanasi, Banaras or Kāśī, which is often considered the Hindu sacred city par excel­ lence by both Hindus and Westerners alike. Today, Varanasi is a medium sized Indian town at the confluences of the Gaṅgā, Varuṇa and Asi rivers, situated 82° 56’E – 83° 03’E and 25° 14’N – 25° 23.5’N in the South Eastern corner of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India. According to the 2001 census, the town itself has a little more than 1.1 million inhabitants and covers approximately 112 square kilometers and is the centre of the Varanasi district with more than 3.1 million inhabitants (Census 2001).

  • Varanasi Division
    Varanasi Division Varanasi is one of the oldest cities of the world and occupies an important place amongst all the religious, cultural and spiritual cities of India. Varanasi is situated on the bank of the holy river Ganges. Most famous temple of Lord Shiva, the Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the twelve Jyotirligas, is located here. Tourists, not only from various parts of India but also those from foreign countries all over the world, visit this place very frequently. Sarnath, the famous Baudh Pilgrimage is situated very close by, at a distance of about 8 Kms only. This is the place where Lord Buddha delivered his first Preaching. Varanasi is also famous for its cottage industry, handicraft and products thereof, including world famous Benarasi sarees too. Varanasi Division of North Eastern Railway was formed on 01.05.1969. The main routes of the division on Broad Gauge Line comprise of Gorakhpur-Chhapra, Bhatni-Allahabad City, Chhapra-Aunrihar, Mau-Shahganj, Gorakhpur- Paniyahwa, Indara-Phephna, Aunrihar-Jaunpur , Kaptanganj-Thawe and Chhapra Kachery-Thawe sections, while Indara-Dohri Ghat is only Meter Gauge section. Varanasi division is mainly a passenger traffic oriented division. Until 1981, when the work of gauge conversion started on Gorakhpur-Siwan section, this division was basically Meter Gauge route system. Subsequently, gauge conversion was completed in phases : Varanasi-Bhatni (year-1990), Varanasi-Allahabad City (year-1993-94), Aunrihar-Chhapra (year-1996), Mau-Shahganj (year- 1997), Gorakhpur-Paniyahwa (year-1997), Indara-Phephna (year-1999), Aunrihar-Jaunpur, Kaptangaj-Thawe (year 2011) and Chhapra Kachery-Thawe (year 2016-17). Thus, barring only Indara-Dohri Ghat section, Gauge Conversion has been completed on all other sections of the division.

State:Uttar Pradesh -Introduction 4 3. Field Visits (i) Visit to Allahabad District 6 (ii) Visit to Kaushambi District 20 (iii) Visit to Varanasi District 39 (iv) Visit to Lucknow District 51 Dates of Visit:- 02.9.13 to 06.9.13 Team Members: 1.

Dr. Bhagwan Deen, Associate Professor NDUA&T Faizabad, 2 General Observations: There is delay in supply of planting material particularly tissue culture banana saplings to the farmers. Timely supply of planting material need to be ensured to the farmers because delayed planting of banana adversely affects the productivity as younger plants are more susceptible to frost. The infrastructure facilities like laboratories, equipments, net houses, poly houses etc created with the support of NHM at Banaras Hindu University and Horticulture Department of the State Government should be used for the benefit of the farmers also. Field visits and interaction of JIT with farmers revealed that farmers have not been advised properly by grass root level technical staffs accountable for execution of NHM. Rather than area expansion, emphasis should be given on rejuvenation of senile orchards, post harvest management, mechanization, establishment of processing units and plant nurseries. There is an immediate need to intensify the guava canopy management programme in Banaras and Allahabad districts. The benefits have been repeated either to the same farmers or to the members of same family.
