The focus of the scheme is on behavior change and usage of toilets. Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), there is a provision of an incentive of Rs. 12,000 for the construction of Individual household latrine (IHHL) to 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 women-headed households).
- (b) State/UT-wise, Central share released under SBM(G) during last 3 years (Rs. in Crore) and No. of villages declared ODF is at Annexure-1.
- (c)  Sanitation  is  a  State  subject  and  the  SBM(G)  programme  is  implemented  through  the States/UTs, therefore, as and when complaints are received, they are immediately forwarded to respective States/UT Governments for appropriate corrective measures.
- (d) Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), since launched on 2.10.2014, 5.74 crore toilets have been constructed. As on 26.12.2017, 4.25 crore households are without toilets in rural areas and expected to be covered with toilets by 2.10.2019.
