RSVY Rs 150 lacks were being spent on drinking water, sanitation and Rs 50 lacks were spent for providing drinking water in tribal and remote areas. Inspite of these funding, there are still some villages where the safe drinking water has to be taken up on an immediate priority basis. State Govt has launched ‘Jaldhara’ scheme for provision of safe drinking water in rural ares. All the left out villages will be covered in a phased manner through this scheme. 3.15 URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE Ganjam district has one Municipality – Berhampur and 17 Notified Area Councils (NACs) mainly the Block, Tahsil or Sub-Divisional headquarters. With the increasing trend towards urbanization, there has been tremendous pressure on the civic amenities of these four urban zones. With inadequate funding from govt. schemes and also lack of sufficient resources to generate own funds, these urban areas have suffered a lot over the years in terms of lower quality of life and amenities. These urban areas are the socio, economic and cultural centers in their spheres of influence. They also cater to the educational needs of the students from various parts of the district. The District Plan identifies the need to improve the infrastructural amenities in these areas to enable a guided development. These areas will be emerging as the nodes for the overall developmental strategy for the district. There is a need to carefully plan for the development of these 18 urban areas over the next few years. Unlike for the rural areas, a master plan for the holistic development is lacking for the urban areas. Now, an exercise is being carried out to prepare a master plan for overall development of the urban areas. However, it is therefore proposed that in the first phase of the BRGF, the urban local bodies be given the funds for developing the basic infrastructure. Nearly, 25 % of the BRGF for the district is being allocated for the urban local bodies. The detailed list of project proposal submitted by the ULBs and duly approved by District planning committee is given in the executive summary part . 56
