## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE

## (SHRI   PRAKASH JAVADEKAR)

(a) The Government of India published a Manual on Municipal Solid Waste Management in  May,  2000  to  assist  urban  local  bodies  in  management  of  municipal  solid  waste  in  a hygienic and scientific manner. The Manual provides detailed guidelines / methodology for planning,  designing,  execution  and  operation  and  maintenance  of  solid  waste  management schemes. It also suggests various technological options for processing, treatment and disposal and resource recovery (compost / energy) from municipal waste.

Keeping in  view  the  land  and  financial  constraints  faced  by  most  of  the  small  and large  cities  for  creating  sanitary  landfill  on  individual  basis  for  disposing  of  the  municipal solid waste, the Ministry of Urban Development formulated a 'Guidance Note for Municipal Solid Waste Management on Regional Basis' and circulated to all the State Governments and Class-I cities in the country in April 2011. The guidance note provides guidance on policy, institutional and technical aspects to the States and urban local bodies for the establishment of integrated  facility  for  treatment  and  disposal  of  municipal  waste  in  sanitary  landfill  on regional / shared basis.

(b) Government of India has  launched  Swachh  Bharat  Mission  (SBM)  on 2 nd October, 2014 with the target to make the country clean by 2 nd October, 2019 by providing financial central assistance to the States. The Mission covers all 4041 statutory towns / cities as per 2011  census.  One  of  the  admissible  components  under  SBM  is  Municipal  Solid  Waste

Management with maximum of  20% viability gap funding (VGF)/grant to the States. The States  have  to  finance  the  additional  cost  either  through  State  plan  or  inviting  substantial investment  from  private  sector  for  implementation  of  solid  waste  management.  The  States may decide the share of urban local bodies depending upon their financial capacity.

(c) The  details  of  fund  allocated  to  States  during  Mission  Period  (2014-19)  and  fund released during last two years is enclosed at Annexure-I .
