## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF DRINKING WATER & SANITATION (SHRI RAMESH CHANDAPPA JIGAJINAGI)

- (a) The main objectives of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) (SBM-G) 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 Strategies have been adopted under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) :-

- Provision of incentives for the construction of Individual household latrine (IHHL)has been  raised  to  Rs.12000  for  all  Below  poverty  Line  (BPL)  households  and  to identified Above Poverty Line (APL) households (all SCs /STs, small and marginal farmers,  landless  labourers  with  homestead,  physically  handicapped  and  womenheaded households).
- The  partial  funding  of  incentive  from  MGNREGS  has  been  stopped.  The  entire assistance is now been being provided under one programme.
- Demand is sought to be created by triggering 'Behaviour change' by intensifyingInformation,  Education  and  Communication  (IEC)  and  Inter  Personal Communication (IPC) campaigns.
- Partnerships of various stakeholders including Multilateral organisations,  NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society Organisations, Self Help Groups (SHGs), Institutions etc. working on rural sanitation is being promoted
- Outputs (Construction) and Outcomes (usage of toilets) both are to be monitored.
- An Index of Village Swachhta has been developed.

(b)  The  funding  pattern  for  SBM(G)  between  Central  and  State  share  is  60:40(90:10  For North  East  and  Special  Category  States).  State/UT-wise,  Central  share  released  during  the last 3 years and the current year is at Annexure-1 .

(c)and  (d)  Yes.  Ministry  of  Drinking  Water  and  Sanitation  regularly  reviews  the  progress made under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin). This is done through regular reviews with the State  governments,  visits  to  States  and  third  party  evaluations.  An  online  Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) also captures key data pertaining to implementation.  Sanitation  coverage,  which  was 42.01% on 2.10.2014 ,  has  increased  to 57.98% on 12.12.2016. A  Total  of 1,27,831 villages  have  declared  themselves  as  Open Defecation Free (ODF) as on 12-12-2016. Since the launch of SBM(G) on 2 nd October, 2014, 289.63  lakh toilets  have  been  constructed  as  on 12.12.2016. States/UT  wise  details  is  at Annexure-2.

(e) The following steps have been taken/are being taken for effective implementation of the SBM-G:-

- Focus  on  behavior  change:  Community  based  collective  behavior  change  has  been mentioned  as  the  preferred  approach,  although  the  States  are  free  to  choose  the approach best suited to them. Focus is also on creation of complete open defecation free (ODF) villages, rather than only on construction of individual toilets. This entails triggering the entire village into  changing their behavior rather than dealing individually with beneficiaries.
- The  programme  provides  flexibility  to  the  States  in  the  implementation.  This  is essential, given the vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India, and also from the point of view of promoting innovations.
- There is a greater emphasis on capacity building, especially in community approaches and programme management. Lack of adequate capacities is a major challenge in scaling up the programme. Therefore, various initiatives are being taken to reach out to all the stakeholders. More than 450 Collectors have been trained so far directly by the Central government.
- 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.M. 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.    Various  other  development  schemes  are  being  converged  with  the sanitation outcomes.
