## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a) to (c) Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)] was launched by the Government on 2 nd October, 2014 with the main aim to make the country Open Defecation Free (ODF) by 2 nd October, 2019, by providing access to toilets to all the rural households. Under the programme, so  far,  more  than  10.8  crore  individual  household  latrines  (IHHLs)  have  been  constructed across the country, as reported by the States/UTs on the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM (G).  All the villages in the country have declared themselves ODF as on 2nd October, 2019. Having achieved the outcomes of ODF, Phase II of SBM (G) is now being  implemented  with  the  focus  to  sustain  the  ODF  status  and  to  cover  all  villages  in  the country  with  Solid  and  Liquid  Waste  Management  (SLWM)  by  2024-25  i.e.  to  convert  the villages from ODF to ODF Plus. The major components of SBM (G) Phase-II are: construction of  IHHLs  for  any  left  out/newly  emerging  household,  construction  of  Community  Sanitary Complexes  (CSCs),  development  of  facilities  for  biodegradable  waste  management,  plastic waste  management,  greywater  management,  faecal  sludge  management,  and  Information, Education & Communication (IEC) activities. Under SBM (G), for disposal of human excreta, use  of  safe  and  eco-friendly  onsite  sanitation  technologies  such  as  twin  leach  pit  toilets  are encouraged for most parts of the country.  Under this technology, human faeces automatically becomes manure in 1-2 years and no sewerage system is required.

(d) & (e) No specific funds have been earmarked under SBM (G) for advertising the scheme. However, under SBM (G) Phase-II, up to 5% of total programme funds can be spent on IEC. State/UT-wise details of IEC expenditure under SBM (G) from 2014-15 to 2021-22, as reported by them on the IMIS, are given at Annexure.
