## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI (SHRI V. SOMANNA)

(a) Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)] was launched on 2nd October, 2014 with the aim  to  achieve  Open  Defecation  Free  (ODF)  status  in  rural  areas  by  2nd  October,  2019  by providing  access  to  toilets  to  all  rural  households.  Under  SBM(G),  sanitation  coverage  was increased from 39% in 2014 to 100% in 2019 with over 10 crore Individual household Latrines (IHHLs)  constructed  under  Phase-I  of  SBM(G)  and  all  the  villages  of  the  country  declared themselves ODF by 2nd October, 2019.

Having achieved the ODF status, Phase-II of SBM (G) has been launched with effect from 1st April,  2020,  with  the  focus  on  ODF  sustainability  and  Solid  and  Liquid  Waste  Management (SLWM) in villages i.e. to convert the villages from ODF to ODF Plus (Model) by 2025-26. ODF  Plus  progress  is  captured  in  three  categories  viz.  Aspiring  and  Rising  (intermediate categories) and Model (final category). As per the data reported by the States/UTs on online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM(G), out of 5,86,788 villages in the country,  5,64,096  villages  have  declared  themselves  Open  Defecation  Free  (ODF)  Plus (1,12,115 Aspiring, 7,337 Rising and 4,44,644 Model) and 5,03,585 villages have been covered with Solid Waste Management (SWM) and 5,22,462 villages have been covered with Liquid Waste Management (LWM) in the Country as on 17-03-2025.

- (b) The main features of SBM(G) are as under :-
- Providing flexibility to State governments, as sanitation is a State subject, to decide on their  implementation  policy,  use  of  funds  and  mechanisms,  taking  into  account  State specific requirements.
- Strengthening the capacities of implementing agencies to roll out the programme in a time-bound manner and to measure collective outcomes

The funds released since last 10 years and current year under SBM(G) are as under :
