The study was undertaken by selecting three villages considered as best practice examples from Jal Nirmal – Shiraguppi, Iddalahonda and Hirenandi – and one control village that was not part of the programme. Jal Nirmal ran from 2002 to 2014 so the villages in this study are now supported under the Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Government of Karnataka. The case study considers both the historical support provided under Jal Nirmal and the current support arrangements. It indicates that the Jal Nirmal programme provided an effective support environment for community management and that the state government has built on this legacy to develop a professionalised support system that balances technical support with the specialist ‘softer’ support focused on empowering communities. In the three Jal Nirmal villages, the study found that water supply is effectively managed by communities through the Village Water and Sanitation Committees that are well-capacitated and resourced. Tariff payments are regular and above government norms meaning communities are able to cover most of the Operational Expenditure for rural water supply and deliver good quality services. In this regard, the case can be classified as a form of Community Management with Direct Support in which communities has successfully taken on the operation and maintenance of rural water supply. 5 Acknowledgements The present case study is part of the Community Water plus project, a three year research investigation funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) of the Australian Government as part of the Australian Development Research Awards Scheme. The research is being undertaken by a consortium of partners including the Administrative Staff College of India (Hyderabad), the Centre of Excellence for Change (Chennai), Malaviya National Institute of Technology (Jaipur), Xavier Institute of Social Service (Ranchi), IRC from The Netherlands and Cranfield University, United Kingdom, who are also responsible for overall project Coordination. Dr.M.Snehalatha is the National Research Coordinator. This case study research was led by Dr. M.S. Rama Mohan Rao and Mr. M.S. Raviprakash. The researchers would like to extend sincere thanks to Mr. M.S. Vaidyanathan and Prof. Koodalingam for supporting the study. The Researchers wish to put on record our sincere gratitude to the Chief Engineer and other officials and staff of Rural Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Government of Karnataka for creating the enabling conditions to undertake the study.

National Economy 1. The National Economy is facing its toughest challenges in recent years. Since the previous budget in March 2012, these challenges have only accentuated. We are faced with persistently high inflation, slowdown in growth, uncertain investment outlook, and adverse external economic environment. While there has been some moderation in the wholesale price index in recent months, the inflation for the consumers continues to be high at near double digit in view of the supply side constraints. With tight monetary policy to tame the unacceptable high inflation, infrastructure limitations, and procedural delays, the domestic investments are yet to pick up. Our exports may continue to be subdued in near future as there do not appear any signs of 2 Budget 2013 - 14 improvement in the global economy. As a result we seem to be stuck in a period of low to moderate growth. In view of high combined fiscal deficit of the governments, we also do not seem to have the option of overcoming these challenges by stepping up the public expenditure. 2. In spite of these challenges, there are incipient signs that the national economy is on the cusp of improvement and good times.

    Hon’ble Speaker, 1. I deem it a privilege to present the budget for the year 2007-08. 2. The concept of coalition Government is deep rooted in the country. In Karnataka, the coalition Government of Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (S), “Karnataka Abhivrudhi Ranga” has successfully completed one year in office and is going strong. We are striving to speed up the development process, keeping aside our ideological differences. Our commitment for development will continue. ºÁ®Ä ºÀ¼Àî ºÀjAiÀÄ° ¨ÉuÉÚ ¨ÉlÖªÁUÀ°! eÉãÀÄ ªÀļÉAiÀÄÄ ¸ÀÄjAiÀÄ°, vÉÆlÖzÉÆ°zÀÄ vÀÆUÀ° ªÀÄĤzÀÄ ¸ÀªÀÄgÀ £ÀgÀ§° £ÀgÀgÀÄ £ÀgÀgÀ £ÀA§° ¸Áé«ÄAiÀĪÀÄÈvÀ PÀÈ¥ÉAiÀÄ° ±ÁAw dUÀªÀ vÀÄA§° The meaning reflected in these lines from the poem of Late Rashtra Kavi Kuvempu has become 2 the inspiration for the coalition government. We believe in emulating his message of eternal importance. 3. In the last one year it has been quite well established that our Government is one which responds to public opinion and works for the people of the State. The credit of taking Government to the doorstep of the citizen is ours. Without limiting our activities to State capital alone we have worked for the development of the whole State. With our fresh outlook, new thought processes and schemes our coalition Government has become a model for other coalition governments. 4. This is the second budget of our coalition Government. As promised in the first, we have prepared a blue print for the overall development of Karnataka and started implementing it. Several schemes and programmes have been formulated with the objective of providing an opportunity to every one to grow and lead a just and honourable life.
