UN honour for Gujarat government body
Water and Sanitation Management Organization of Gujarat has been conferred
the 2009 Public Service Award by the United Nations for 'fostering
participation in policy-making decisions through innovative mechanisms' in
the field of 'institutionalisation of community management' and users' level
participation in the drinking water supply.
The award was given away on June 23 -- designated by the General Assembly as
the UN Public Service Day -- at an impressive ceremony at the UN
headquarters in New York.
WASMO was among a total of 12 public organisations from various countries --
eight in the 'Winners' category and four in 'Finalist' category' -- that
were honoured.
The awards are a prestigious international recognition for excellence. Since
its institution in 2003, a number of public organisations from India have
been conferred the Award in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
WASMO's programme involved improving access to water in rural areas by
engaging citizens in water management, developed by the organisation in
2002. The programme has been also instrumental in playing a key role in
achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
'This year's winners and finalists show that public services can be
delivered more efficiently, effectively and equitably all over the world,'
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the awards ceremony.
He said the ingredients are simple -- commitment, hard work, innovation,
talent and technological know-how.
'Combined, they make a powerful recipe. And together, these women and men
make vital contributions to our efforts to build a better world for all,' he
said.
Ban said the UN has long recognized that effective governance and efficient
public administration are central to the global development agenda, and
particularly in achieving the MDGs -- the set of anti-poverty targets world
leaders have pledged to try to achieve by 2015.
On behalf of WASMO, the award was received by V S Gadhavi, secretary, water
supply, Government of Gujarat. Other member of the delegation included
Jaipal Singh, additional secretary and chief executive officer, WASMO.
In a brief statement at the ceremony, Gadhavi said the Gujarat government's
'out of box' initiative, has been able to create the enabling environment
for strong community engagement and almost 75 per cent of the total villages
of Gujarat have embraced the community-led development in WATSAN sector, one
of the major agenda of the MDG.
He said that building working partnerships with reputed NGOs, other sector
players and community has given effective institutional mechanisms for
development besides a providing a great learning experience about the
capacity of community led governance at local levels.
'We have been able to achieve a paradigm shift in role of governance form
'provider to facilitator' wherein community has demonstrated the philosophy
that 'users are the best managers'.
He said that the issues of ownership and inclusion 'are prudently resolved'
in the village meeting and that the initiative has a great impact on the
overall Human Development Index in the state.
'In a water-scarce state like Gujarat, the governance model in the form of
WASMO has tried to bring in sustainability for WATSAN sector.'
In 2008, Programme of Communitisation of Public Institutions and Services,
Nagaland, was conferred the award in the winners category and District
Lokvani Society, Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh [ Images ], was conferred the award
in the finalist category.

India has 36 crores of gods, 360 million. India has a population of
1.2 billion. Therefore, each god has on the average 3 1/3 adherents.
The answer is obvious,
1) Shit in god's mouth. They love a new flavor.
2) Shit in the Ganges. Them ain't Snickers bars floating in the
holy cloaca.
3) Shit in the streets, preferably just after the monsoon (Hindi
for "flush"). Vote with the stooopid! How can so many people be
wrong?

Yes, it has VIP toilets too:

White visitors to New Delhi will be happy to see this at the airport:

Because the US already has a far more advanced sanitation system than
India. Besides, since you don't seem to have actually read the article,
the award was for "fostering participation", not for improvements to the
sanitation system.

THE NAZI-STYLE HATE-MINORITIES MESSAGE OF THE `RSS BIBLE'
"The foreign races in Hindusthan must either adopt the Hindu culture
and language, must learn to respect and hold in reverence Hindu
religion, must entertain no idea but those of the glorification of the
Hindu race and culture, i.e., of the Hindu nation and must loose their
separate existence to merge in the Hindu race, or may stay in the
country, wholly subordinated to the Hindu Nation, claiming nothing,
deserving no privileges, far less any preferential treatment -- not
even citizen's rights. There is, at least, should be, no other course
for them to adopt. We are an old nation; let us deal, as old nations
ought to and do deal, with the foreign races, who have chosen to live
in our country".

A sanitation emergency

areas - have no access to a toilet or safe water supply.

India, again.
'Indians defecate everywhere. They defecate, mostly, beside the
railway tracks. But they also defecate on the beaches; they defecate
on the hills; they defecate on the river banks; they defecate on the
streets; they never look for cover. ... the one thing we can and must
learn from the West is the science of municipal sanitation.'
They do uncoil anywhere and everywhere. It is a great mingling of cow,
dog, goat and human feces. sh!t dust is in the air.

The original Indian who wrote this is a Racist Pig , typical Indian
inviting only White Men , they call them "Brown sahibs" in the British
army, The last guy who wrote about defecation is a equal pig ,
because that is like saying that "westerners fornicate and maturbate
every where", it is true , but it is not true . India has laterines, I
grew uo in India , till age 21 , never ever swa an Indian Defecate in
Public, The Women may do so but they have a big skirt covering 360
degrees. You can say that about any one , for instance all the girls I
ever dated , the dirtiest was in Paris france becausev they had very
few hot water showers and they did not believe in bathing, there are
more louse there than England . So what the heck-- white men only to
India ?, most white men go to Thialand"--is that even a dummer
statement or what

Is UN also a pig?

More than 700 million people in India have no toilets in their
households and defecate in the open or in buckets.

It wouldn't be if you bathed at least occasionally. People tend not to
want to answer queries from unwashed lice-ridden bleary-eyed bigots.

I'm surprised he's even allowed out in public.
