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

- (a)  The  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Gramin)  [SBM (G)] was launched on 2nd October, 2014 with the  aim to attain Swachh Bharat by 2 nd October 2019. The focus of the scheme is on behavior change and usage of toilets. Since SBM(G) is a demand driven scheme, State-wise targets  are  not  fixed.  However,  the  number  of  individual  household  latrines  (IHHLs) constructed  during  last  3  years  and  current  year  under  SBM(G),State/UT-wise,  as  per  the information available on the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM(G) is at Annexure.
- (b) No, Madam.
- (c) Question does not arise.
- (d) No, Madam.
- (e) Question does not arise.
- (f) The following steps taken by the Ministry for effective implementation of SBM-G in the country
- 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.
- 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.  From  the  Government  of  India  side,  the  States  and  select organizations  (called  Key  Resource  Centres)  are  being  trained.  These  in  turn  are, carrying  out  trainings  at  the  sub-State  level.  The  key  official  at  the  district  levelCollector-has been roped in the programme to provide leadership at the district level.
- 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.
- ZilaSwachhataPreraks are being engaged for support of districts.
