To carry forward the progress made, 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 Garbage Free Status  for all cities  through 100% source segregation, door to  door  collection  and  scientific  management  of  all  fractions  of  waste including safe disposal in scientific landfills. It is also aims at remediation of all legacy dumpsites and converting them into green zones.
