## (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

(a)  The  SBM  (G)  Guidelines  also  has  guidelines  on  Solid  and  Liquid  Waste  Management (SLWM).  The  Ministry has further shared Guidelines on Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM), National Guideline on Menstrual  Hygiene  Management,  A  Source Book on SLWM in Rural Areas and an SLWM Primer to help the States to take-up SLWM Projects. Under this component, activities like compost pits, vermi composting, biogas plants, low cost drainage,  soakage  channels/  pits,  reuse  of  waste  water  and  system  for  collection, segregation and disposal of household garbage and menstrual hygiene management etc. can be taken up. States/UTs have the flexibility to adopt the SLWM method which it considers appropriate.  Funds  for  Solid  and  Liquid  Waste  Management  activities  with  cap  of  Rs.

7/12/15/20 lakh are available for Gram Panchayats having upto 150/300/500/ more than 500 households.

(b) & (c) The SBM(G) guidelines provide flexibility to the States/UTs in implementation of the  programme  which  includes  SLWM  also.  States/UTs  have  the  flexibility  to  adopt  the SLWM method which it considers appropriate.

Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), up to 8% of total resources under the programme can be spent on Information, Education and Communication (IEC) - of these 5% are to be spent  at  the  State  and  district  levels.  Keeping  in  view  the  greater  impact  of  engaging  with people  through  direct  communication  many  States  are  focusing  on  community  approach, wherein the people are directly triggered and made aware about the importance of sanitation and Solid and Liquid Waste Management.

(d) Funds for Solid and Liquid Waste Management activities with cap of Rs. 7/12/15/20 lakh are available for Gram Panchayats having upto 150/300/500/ more than 500 households.

Regarding  technical  assistance  to  States,  exhibitions  and  workshop  are  held  at  regular intervals to disseminate various innovative technologies & best practices among the States for adoption.  Under SBM-G, component-wise  funds are not released. However, State/UT-wise central  share  released  under  SBM  (G)  during  the  last  3  years  and  the  current  year  is  at Annexure-1.

(e)  Three regional  workshops  were organized at Trivandrum, Guwahati and Ranchi during 2014-15. A National workshop on SLWM was organized in New Delhi on 21.04.2015. Also a National workshop on SLWM was organized at Trivendrum, Kerala on 15 th and 16 th July, 2016. States are also organising the Workshop on SLWM regularly. Three Exhibitions were organized  in  New  Delhi  on  26-27 th August  2014,  23-24  January  2015  and  2-3  July  2015 wherein  innovative  technologies  in  respect  of  Solid  and  Liquid  Waste  Management  were showcased to various State Governments.

(f)  The  following  steps  have  been  undertaken  to  accelerate  implementation  of  SLWM Projects : -

- Provision for Consultants for SLWM.
