We were involved in Kosi flood rehabilitation work as part of ODR Collaborative. Involvement is manifold – i) Policy support to Government of Bihar to evolve an owner driven reconstruction programme and assistance package. Based on this approach, The Government of Bihar with help of the World Bank has now launched a programme to cover 100,000 houses; ii) Technical Guidelines for Reconstruction of houses. Our focus is on promoting local materials particularly use of bamboo. We participated in the technical committee set up by the Government of Bihar under chairmanship of Dr. A. S. Arya; iii) providing technical support for owner driven process and construction in two hamlets – Orlaha and Puraini (district Supaul); and iv) Enabling Government of Bihar to undertake ‘Owner Driven Reconstruction Programme’ for Kosi flood rehabilitation in Supaul, Madhepura and Saharsa.
