## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT

## (RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

- (a): The number of cities declared Open Defecation Free (ODF) so far, State-wise are at Annexure-I. The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has laid down a detailed protocol for cities to self-declare themselves as ODF, as well as processes to be followed for the self-declared cities to be  certified  as  ODF . Once a city has communicated to MoUD the final resolution declaring the city to be ODF, a third party verification process ('Swachh Certification') is to be adopted, for the final ODF certification. Subsequently, recertification of ODF will happen at fixed intervals (every six months), so as to ensure that there is no slippage of the ODF status.
- (b): No, Madam.
- (c): The details of toilets constructed under SBM (U) so far State-wise are at Annexure-II.
- (d): Cities  where  households  are  having  no  toilets,  or  having  Pit latrines or insanitary latrines and where open defecation was prevalent was taken up as the  target  group  for  construction  of  toilets.  All  4041 census towns are covered under the purview of SBM (Urban).
- (e) & (f): The  goal  of  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  is  to  achieve  Open defecation  free  status  in  all  4041  towns/cities.  Based  on  that  the States/UTs have assessed the actual requirement of toilets and against the original target of 1.04 crore toilets, the revised targets decided by the State is 66.42 lakh IHHLs. The details of toilets constructed under SBM so far State-wise are at Annexure-II
- (g): Since  August  2016,  the  MOUD  has  been  running  a  multi-media campaign  titled 'Asli Tarakki' (through  DAVP)  on  TV,  Radio  and outdoors, to motivate urban citizens to construct toilets and use them, and to discourage the habit of open defecation. Moreover a substantial weightage of the sanitation component has been given while assessing the cities under Swachh Survekshan.
