In India new initiatives are being introduced to bring
about Reform of the Rural Water Sector by changing from
Supply Driven to Demand led approaches through community
participation in all stages of scheme development. The
programme of Sector Reform is being implemented in 63
Pilot Districts across India. This paper describes practical
field experience of the Demand Led approach in practice in
Sopirala village (population 2500) of Prakasam District in
Andhra Pradesh State, which is one of the pilot districts
selected for the Sector Reform programme, during February
2002.
