- (a) :  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  -Urban  (SBM-U)  2.0  has  been  launched  on October  1,  2021  for  a  period  of  five  years  with  a  vision  of  achieving  safe sanitation, scientific management of all fractions of waste and remediation of legacy dumpsites in the urban areas of the country including Jharkhand.
- (b)  :  Legacy  dumpsites  have  been  created  over  decades  and  pose  a  very challenging  task.    For  the  first  time,  the  task  of  knocking  down  these garbage-dumps has been taken up at a national scale under Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban. As reported by State of Jharkhand on Swachhatam portal, a total of 38 dumpsites (with more than 1000 tonne of waste) having 31 lakh MT of waste have been identified for remediation, which collectively occupy 141.44 Acres. Of these, 3 dumpsites have been remediated completely and works on 16 sites  are  going  for  complete  remediation.    A  cumulative  of  1 lakh  MT  (4%)  of  waste  has  been  remediated  and  8.25  Acre  (6%)  land  has been  reclaimed.    District-wise,  dumpsites  details  are  available  on  the
- website i.e. https://sbmurban.org/swachh-bharat-mission-progess.

To support the disposal of legacy waste projects in a timely and environmentally  appropriate  manner,  Guidelines  for  Disposal  of  Legacy Waste and Advisory on Landfill Reclamation have been shared with States/UTs.  Model  Procurement  Documents  have  also  been  prepared  by Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) and shared with all States to expedite the bidding process.

(c)  &  (d)  :  An  amount  of  Rs.  258.71  Cr.  was  allocated  to  the  State  of Jharkahnd under SBM - U 1.0, which has been increased to Rs. 519 Cr (~2 times) under SBM-U 2.0. Out of which state has prepared plans and has got approval  for  Rs.  358.78  Cr.  In  addition  to  providing  financial  supports, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA) all supplements the efforts of all States/UTs including Jharkhand through Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban by providing policy directions, technical support, capacity building and advocacy frameworks.
