Message

Team Ipsos had this wonderful opportunity to work with Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) on Assessment of 97 Ganga Towns as a part of Swachh Survekshan 2020.

It was the trust, collaboration & understanding between Ipsos, MoHUA and State Governments that made it possible to complete this survey within stipulated timeframe. Strong & rigorous planning, multiple meetings with different stakeholders, dissemination of meticulous assessor trainings along systematic implementation of plan have resulted in successful completion of the project.

The survey was entailed to capture data on predefined framework. Our teams of 30 trained assessors visited 97 Ganga Towns spread across 5 states (Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal), collecting data from 863 Ghats using direct observation method along with capturing video (389) and photographic (11,561) evidences. To ensure elimination of pen & paper, an online platform was developed and tech savvy tools (tablets) were used during data collection process. Timestamps provided greater transparency.

I hope this has not only been an enriching experience for the team, it gives us great pride in partnering with MoHUA on this prestigious project. We look forward to work on future initiatives with MoHUA and positively contribute in achieving objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission.

Executive Summary

Assessment of 97 Ganga Towns was undertaken by Ipsos Research Private Limited, under Swachh Survekshan 2020. The evaluation was executed with constant support and guidance of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) to measure the cleanliness in and around ghats. The survey was executed using direct observation within a span of 15 days (16th - 31st January 2020). The study was executed in the five states, from where Ganga river flows, coverage of the project is depicted below:

State-wise Number of Ganga Towns

Uttarakhand – 16

Uttar Pradesh – 21

Bihar – 18

Jharkhand – 2

West Bengal – 40

The parameters covered in this study are as follows:

The survey was conducted in January 2020, covering 863 Ganga Ghats across 97 towns. A team of 30 assessors were trained and employed for conducting the assessment. These assessors were further monitored / lead by Executive Officers. Project coverage is depicted below:

The key findings of the survey are briefed below:

52 towns had anti-littering messages placed across Ghats.

Across 46 towns, no solid waste was found floating on river surface.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1: Background

An inspection of 97 Ganga towns was done to evaluate their performance on sanitation and solid waste management parameters. A team of 30 qualified and trained assessors conducted the evaluation using direct observation method. The entire survey was conducted using a mobile application to minimize physical interventions and reduce the chances of error. Additionally, the data has been geotagged and time-stamped to ensure transparency and accuracy.

1.2: Thrust Areas of Assessment:

Following are the major parameters based on which data was collected: 1. Presence of open dump sites near Ghats or on riverbanks. 2. GVPs near Ghats or on riverbanks. 3. Availability and accessibility of Anti-Littering messages / hoarding to the citizens. 4. Placement of Twin Litter bins in every 50 meters of Ghats. 5. Solid waste floating on river Ganga. 6. Availability of trash cleaners to trap solid waste floating on river surface. 7. Sweeping & Cleaning arrangements for Ghats. 8. Availability of MSW plant. 9. Nullahs & Screens: a. Number of external nullahs getting discharged directly into river Ganga. b. Nullahs having functional screens installed on it. c. Condition of Screens (Choked / Clean).

1.3: Methodology

For executing the inspection of Ganga town, direct observation method was adopted by the assessors. The survey methodology unfolds itself in following steps:

1. Finalisation of Assessment Framework:

The final assessment tool was developed in consultation with MoHUA based on their priorities.

2. Development of Data Collection Platform: Portal and mobile application were developed to capture the survey information. Mobile application named ‘SS2020 Ganga Towns’ was used by assessors for data collection process. Assessors captured on ground data using direct observation method along with collecting picture / video evidences for the same. Authenticity of collected data was ensured through geo-tagging every picture, video and survey form.

Picture 1: Screenshots of ‘SS2020 Ganga Towns’ App.

The application was available for assessors in English, Hindi and Bengali languages. Pictorial evidences were mandatory for every indicator followed by an overall video feedback of Ghats, to be uploaded by assessor.

For the purpose of ‘Real Time Quality Check (QC)’ of collected data, a team of 5 members was set-up to continuously monitor the process using portal. In case any discrepancy was identified by QC team, assessor had to rectify the same accordingly.

Picture 2: Screenshots of ‘SS2020 Ganga Towns’ Portal

3. Training of Assessors: 30 Qualified assessors were hired and trained to make them well- versed with the framework. For every 3 assessors, one Executive In-charge (EIC) was assigned. The role of EIC was to closely manage and monitor assessors.

4. Data Collection Process: Trained assessors physically inspected location to collect the data. QC team was set up to continuously monitor the data which was being collected on-ground. In case of any shortcoming/discrepancy found in data collected, assessor was asked to correct the same.

5. Data Analysis: Collected data was further collated and analysed in systematic manner to calculate the scores achieved by towns. Thereafter, rankings were derived accordingly.
