Has the govt. presented a plan of action as to how the target might
be achieved?
As anyone with half a working brain would know, that anybody can set
any target. What makes the difference is the PLAN of ACTION, and if
it is achievable.
In the absence of a credible plan it is yet another bunch of
hot-air, just like all the other talk over the decades that have
remained just that--TALK!

Govt aims to stop sewage flow into rivers by 2011-12
NEW DELHI: The government has set itself an ambitious target of
ensuring that no sewage is drained into the 45,000 km river length of
India by 2011-12. The target has been proposed under the 11th Five
Year Plan document which will be put before the Planning Commission on
November 8 for approval.
The proposal comes on the heels of a move initiated by the PMO to
revamp the Rs 3,000 crore National River Conservation Plan (NRCP), as
reported by TOI earlier. The plan covers 34 rivers and 160 towns in 20
states and has completed almost a decade of operation with
questionable results.
The government now wants to achieve the target by making urban sewage
treatment priority reforms under the City Development Plans of JNNURM.
The government wants all cities that can avail funds under JNNURM and
the Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Smalll and Medium
Towns (UIDSSMT) to ensure 100% treatment of sewage by the end of the
new plan period.
The revamped NRCP shall be prioritised to first complete existing
projects and then consider new projects only in cities that are not
covered by JNNURM and UIDSSMT.
The enormity of achieving 100% treatment of sewage that flows into
rivers can be gauged by the fact that in Delhi alone, 3 billion litres
of waste water is generated each day which flows into the Yamuna.
Despite spending more than Rs 550 crore since July 1993 on cleaning
the river, the pollution load in Yamuna has almost doubled over the
period.
Presently, only 20% of the total waste generated in India is treated,
while the rest mixes up in rivers. Annually, the country produces
22,900 million litres a day (mld) with 17,100 mld being drained into
the rivers without any treatment.
Under the revamped NRCP, the government has proposed a dramatic shift
in the business of sewage treatment and river management with external
oversight of the workings of the programme instead of internal review.
