This document outlines the process for a rural water and sanitation project in India called MANTRA, run by the NGO Gram Vikas. It discusses the overall workflow from identifying villages to handing over projects to communities. This includes engineering survey works to identify water sources and tank locations, as well as engineering DPR (detailed project report) works like design, estimation, and documentation. The goal of the project is to provide every household with a toilet and bathing room to improve health through reducing water-borne diseases.

3. Introduction
• Gram Vikas' which literally means 'village
development' is a non-governmental organization
that works with rural and tribal communities in
India & Africa
• Focus Areas are:
– Water & Sanitation – MANTRA
– Education
– Social Housing
– Livelihoods
– Community Health
– Renewable Energy

4. MANTRA
• Movement and Action Network for
Transformation of Rural Areas
• The MANTRA framework unites communities to
overcome barriers of social exclusion.
• Water and Sanitation which is used as an entry
point
• A bathing room and a toilet is constructed for
every household with community contributions.
• The communities bear about 60% of the capital
costs of sanitation and 25% of the costs of
establishing the piped water supply system.

5. Contd…
• Reduction of water-borne diseases and hence,
a marked improvement in the health
situation.
• Importance given to personal hygiene

9. Conclusion
• Gram Vikas has a lead in MANTRA Project
• Water & Sanitation put a major impact in
Rural areas
• The Work flow starts from Village
Identification to Submitting the PWSS to the
community
• It involves Civil Engineering works such as
Survey of Village, Design of water tank,
Estimation, DPR Preparation & approval
