• Economically, India is one of the fastest growing countries in
the world
• India is home to 16% of the world's population, living in just
2.4% of global land area with only 4% of the world's renewable
water resources1.
Water sectorin India
63.4 million living withoutaccess to clean water
3.73% water quality affected habitants2
Only 16% of India’s rural families have piped water

AND THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF DENMARK
Many of India’s large states includingMaharashtra,
Gujarat and Tamil Nadu have
urbanisation levelsof over 40% whichare tipped to cross50% before 2020
India’s urbanization has been constrained by a combination
of inadequate investments and widening gaps in service delivery
India’s million-plus cities are expected to go up from 42 in 1991 to 68 by 2030
Urban water supply and
sanitation is a critical component of urban service delivery to make
cities livable
The share of urban population at 31%
during Census 2011 could potentially
cross 40% by 2030 with over 200 million getting added to urban
population during this period
Per 2011, over 71.2% of India’s
urban households had
access to drinking water
within their premises
• In order to upgrade India’s water infrastructure a long term investment of $264 billion till 2031 is required3
• In order to meet these demands, the government of India has allocated $1 trillion for plans in creating 100 smart cities and restore 500 other cities and towns over the next five years.
• While the government sector contributes about 50 per cent of this, the private industrial sector provides the remaining business.
• 2018: MoU on Cooperation in the Fields of Sustainable and Smart Urban Development
Innovation Fund Denmark (IFD), Department of Science and Technology (DST), and Department of Biotechnology (DBT) have decided to launch a call for joint projects with a view to further develop and strengthen the Danish-Indian research cooperation in the areas of water and renewable energy.
Prioritised research and innovation areas• Water: Solutions to global water challenges within all fields of water. For example: water usage, treatment,
control, and management of water and wastewater for different purposes like agriculture, industry, portable etc.
• Energy: Development and integration of renewable energy based solutions and energy efficiency in electricity and heating systems
The successful projects will be funded in Denmark by IFD and in India by either DST or DBT depending on the topic. The joint projects must meet the criteria of the funding agencies. 4-6 projects may be funded and the projects are funded for a maximum of three years.
The IFD budget for this call is approx. € 2 million (15 million DKK) and depending on the quality of applications the funds will be equally distributed between water and energy. Similar budget size is available in India by DST and DBT. Significant co-financing as well as the participation of relevant public partners and/or private enterprises other than the main applicants is expected.A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE MINISTRY OF SCIENCE,
