(b) State-wise, Individual household Latrines constructed during each of the last three years and the current year under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) and Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is at Annexure-2.

- (c) The Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) {SBM-G} has been launched on 2 nd October, 2014. The SBM (G) aims at attaining Swachh Bharat by 2 nd October, 2019 by accelerating sanitation coverage  in  the  rural  areas.  Under  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (Gramin)  {SBM(G)},  there  is  a provision for providing an incentive of Rs. 12,000 for the construction of Individual household latrine  (IHHL)  to  all  Below  poverty  Line  (BPL)  households  and  to  identified  Above  Poverty Line  (APL)  households  (all  SCs  /STs,  small  and  marginal  farmers,  landless  labourers  with homestead, physically handicapped and women-headed households).
- (d)  Sanitation  is  a  State  subject  and  the  SBM(G)  programme  is  implemented  through  the States/UTs, therefore, as and when complaints are received, they are immediately forwarded to respective States/UT Governments for appropriate corrective measures.
- (e) The responsibility for maintenance of household toilets lies with the owners themselves.

(f) No, Madam.
