## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT (SHRI M. VENKAIAH NAIDU)

(a): There is a major impact of Swachh Bharat Mission since its launch. One  of  the  objectives  of  the  Mission  is  to  make  the  country  Open Defecation  Free  (ODF)  with  the  construction  of  Individual  Household Toilets  (IHHTs)  and  Public  &  Community  Toilets  by  2 nd October,  2019. The Mission covers all 4041 statutory towns/cities as per 2011 census for  Municipal  Solid  Waste  Management.  During  the  implementation  of SBM, all the State Governments have assessed the demand for IHHTs. The  state-wise  estimated  target  with  no.  of  IHHTs  and  CT  &  PT constructed in urban areas is enclosed as Annexure-I

(b & c): A key strategy under SBM  (Urban)  is  behaviour  change communication to ensure that sanitation  as  an  issue  is  mainstreamed with   the   general   public  at  large   and  should  cover  issues  of  open

defecation, prevention of manual scavenging, hygiene practices, proper use  and  maintenance  of  toilet  facilities  (household,  community  or otherwise), etc., and its related health and environmental consequences. MoUD  and  State  Govts./UTs  have  taken  the  following  initiatives  for behavioural change:-

- (i) Citizen-Partnered thematic drives every fortnight.
- (ii) Intense Multi-media campaign titled 'Asli Tarakki', targeting behaviour change towards Open Defecation Free (ODF) cities/towns.
- (iii) Intensive engagement with self-help groups and students to be change agents to drive behaviour change towards ODF.
- (iv) A detailed ODF protocol designed, monitoring 'no OD' status, rather than number of toilets.
- (v) Third party certification of ODF claims of cities and states, to be renewed every 6 months.

(d)  MoUD  reviews  the  progress  of  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Urban)  in States  on  a  day-to-day  basis  and  also  on  monthly  basis  through  video conferences/teleconferences, meetings with State Mission Directors and also  provide  onsite  technical  assistance  to  effectively  implement  the Mission across the country. The names of the states lagging behind in implementation of SBM may be seen from Annexure-I.
