## 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  2 nd October,  2014, with the aim to attain Open Defecation Free India by 2 nd October, 2019, by providing access to toilet facilities to all rural households includes thetribal and backward areas of the country. 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  identified  Above Poverty Line (APL) households (all SCs /STs, small and marginal farmers, landless labourers with homestead, physically handicapped and women-headed households). Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) is one of the integral components of SBM(G) and 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. 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. Under SBM (G),  the  following  steps  have  been  taken  in  the  entire  country  including  Tribal  and Backward areas:-

- Focus  on  collective  behavior  change  of  Community  entails  triggering  the  entire village, 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.
- The  programme provides  flexibility  to  the  States  in  the  implementation  in  view  of vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India with promotion to innovations.
- Media campaigns rolled out centrally by the Ministry make people aware about issues arising out of open defecation. These two campaigns featuring Shri Amitabh Bacchan and Ms. Anushka Sharma urge people to defecate in closed toilets and aptly titled as 'Darwaza Band to Beemari band'.Doordarshan also produced and telecasted episodes on 'Har Kadam Swachhata Ki Or' on behalf of the Ministry.
- A  greater  emphasis  on  capacity  building,  especially  in  community  approaches  and programme management. The 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 level-Collector-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.
- 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.
- Monitoring  and  Evaluation  has  also  been  strengthened.  The  IMIS  has  data  up  to household  level, with provision to capture geo-tagged photographs  of toilets. ZilaSwachhataPreraks  are  being  engaged  for  support  of districts  with  philanthropic support from Tata trust.

(b) Under SBM(G) funds are released to States/UTs. Adequate priority is given for Tribal and Backward areas of the country. 10% of Total Allocation  is earmarked for Schedule Tribes (STs) each year. Funds for Tribal and Backward areas are not released separately. However, State/UT-wise  central  share  released  and  utilised  under  SBM(G)  during  last  3  years  and current year is at Annexure-1.
