## ANSWER

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

(a) and (b) The Government had launched the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) [(SBM(G)] with effect from 2 nd October, 2014 with the aim to achieve universal sanitation coverage by 2 nd October 2019 by providing access to toilet facilities to all rural households in the country.  The focus of the scheme is on behavior change and usage of toilets.State/UTwise number of Individual household latrines (IHHLs) constructed and Central expenditure reported during last 3 years under SBM(G) are given at Annexure-1 .

(c)and (d) As per the SBM(G) guidelines, villages and districts declare themselves Open Defecation Free (ODF) through a rigorous process of self-declaration, followed by a multilevel  decentralized  verification  process  by  the  districts and  States.  Further,  as per National Annual  Rural  Sanitation  Survey  (NARSS)2017-18,  conducted  by  an  independent  agency, 95.6% of ODF verified villages were confirmed to be ODF.State/UT-wise number of districts which  have  been  declared  Open  Defecation  Free  (ODF)  as  on  7.12.2018  are  given  at Annexure-2 .

(e) Since the launch of the Swachh Bharat Mission in 2014, States have made tremendous progress  with  reference  to  rural  sanitation.  While  sanitation  is  State  subject,  Ministry  of Drinking Water and Sanitation supports State government in the implementation of the SBM. Some focus areas are as follows :-

- Focus  is  being  given  on  community  based  collective  behavior  change  by  massive campaigning at the national and State level.
- Focus  is  also  on  the  outcome  of  ODF  villages,  and  not  only  on  construction  of individual toilets.
- Given the vast socio-economic-cultural diversity of India, and also from the point of view  of  promoting  innovations,  the  programme  provides  flexibility  to  the  States  to choose the strategy best suited to them in its implementation.
- Greater  emphasis  is  being  given  on  capacity  building,  especially  in  community approaches  and  programme  management,  by  imparting  training  to  the  States  and selected  organizations  called  Key  Resource  Centres  (KRCs),  involving  District Collectors to provide leadership to the programme 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.
- 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.
