## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION

## (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a) The main objectives of the SBM (Gramin) are as under :
- a) Bring  about  an  improvement  in  the  general  quality  of  life  in  the  rural  areas,  by promoting cleanliness, hygiene and eliminating open defecation.
- b) Accelerate sanitation coverage in rural areas to achieve the vision of Swachh Bharat by 2 nd October 2019.
- c) Motivate Communities and Panchayati Raj Institutions to adopt sustainable sanitation practices and facilities through awareness creation and health education.
- d) Encourage  cost  effective  and  appropriate  technologies  for  ecologically  safe  and sustainable sanitation.
- e) Develop  where  required,  Community  managed  sanitation  systems  focusing  on scientific  Solid &  Liquid  Waste  Management systems  for overall  cleanliness  in  the rural areas.

The following are the strategies adopted under SBM(G) :-

- The focus of the Swachh Bharat Mission is on behaviour change and usage of toilets. While individual toilets continue to be provided on demand, there is a focus on village

saturation  and  achievement  of open  defecation  free  (ODF)  communities.  This involves  collective  behavioural  change  of  the  entire  community  through  intensive triggering  and  follow-up.  This  change  of  mindset  involving  changing  of  age-old habits is a very challenging task. However, given the fact that collective change leads to improved health outcome, the Swachh Bharat Mission lays emphasis on this.

- The  uniform  parameters  of  ODF  have  been  defined,  so  that  there  is  a  common understanding  of  the  term  across  the  country.  As  per  the  definition,  the  ODF comprises not just access to a toilet , but also usage of toilet and safe technology.
- A key thrust of the Swachh Bharat Mission programme is the flexibility provided to the States in implementation. The States can now, depending on their socio-economiccultural milieu, adopt strategies considered most appropriate by them.
- The programe has a strong thrust on equity, and focuses on the marginalized sections. The emphasis of the programme on community approach ensures that all sections of the  community  -  especially  the  poor  and  the  marginalized  -  participate  in  the deliberations  and  decisions  in  the  community,  towards  adopting  safer  sanitation practices.
- For NE and Special category States, sharing pattern between central and state  is  in ratio of 90:10

(c) Since Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is demand driven scheme, hence State-wise funds are not allocated. However, State/UT wise, central share released during each of the last three years and the current year is at Annexure-1.

(d)and (e) Ministry regularly review the SBM(G). Against the expected outcome of 50 lakh individual  latrines  for  the  year  2014-15, 58,54,987 latrines  were  constructed,  which  is  an achievement of 117% of  the  target.  During  2015-16, 127.41 lakh toilets  were  constructed against  expected  outcome  of 120.00  lakh .  For  the  year 2016-17 ,  against  the  expected outcome of 1.5  crore individual  latrines, 19438565 individual  latrines (129%) have  been constructed as on 27-03-2017. Sanitation  Coverage,  which  was 42.01% on 2.10.2014 ,  has increased to 62.49% on 27-03-2017. A total of 1,80,052 Villages, 84,198 Gram Panchayats, 1,168 Blocks and 121 District have declared themselves as Open Defecation Free (ODF) as on 27-03-2017. In addition, 3 States namely Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh and Kerala have also been declared ODF.

(f) Under SBM(G), the following steps have been taken for effective implementation of the programme :-

- Focus  on  behavior  change:  Community  based  collective  behavior  change  has  been mentioned  as  the  preferred  approach.  Focus  is  also  on  creation  of  complete  open defecation free (ODF) villages.
- The  programme  provides  flexibility  to  the  States  in  the  implementation.  This  is essential, given the vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India.
- There is a greater emphasis on capacity building, especially in community approaches and programme management. More than 530 Collectors from across the country have been  trained.  In  order  to  provide  exposure  to  officers  at  their  entry  level  itself,  a training  module  has  been  developed  for  LBSNAA,  Mussoorie.  The  IAS  and  other Group A probationers are being given training for better implementation of SBM(G), including 'triggering' behavior change in communities.
- The programme is being run as a janandolan with cooperation of all sections of the society including the NGOs, Corporates, youth etc. The Panchayats are being actively involved.
- There is an emphasis on streamlining administrative and financial procedures, both to cut down on time, as well as to increase accountability.
- Innovations in technology is being promoted at the National and State levels. There is a National Committee under Prof. R.A.Mashelkar that examines all new technologies from the point of view of safety and feasibility.
- Sanitation is being prioritized amongst the overall development agenda. The Government  has  taken  a  decision  to  prioritise  all  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  in ODF villages.
- Monitoring  and  Evaluation  has  also  been  strengthened.  The  IMIS  has  data  up  to household  level,  with  provision  to  capture  geo-tagged  photographs  of  toilets.  A Swachhta  App  has  been  developed  that  provides  online  information  on  sanitation status up to household level.
