## ANSWER

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

(a) Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)] Phase II is being implemented during the period from 2020-21 to 2026-27, with the focus on Open Defecation Free (ODF) sustainability and to cover all the villages with solid and liquid waste management arrangements with focus on visual cleanliness i.e.  converting  the  villages  from  ODF  to  ODF  Plus  (Model)  villages. Under  SBM(G)  Phase-II,  the  number  of  ODF  Plus  (Model)  declared  villages,  number  of villages  covered  with  Solid  Waste  Management  (SWM)  and  Liquid  Waste  Management (LWM) arrangements, State/UT-wise, as reported by States/UTs on Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) of SBM(G), as on 10-2-2026, is at Annexure-1. Status of coverage of Jammu district of UT of Jammu and Kashmir, Dumka district of Jharkhand and Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh on the above is at Annexure-2.

(b) No.

(c) and (d) Does not arise, in view of (b) above.

(e)  Sanitation  is  a  State  subject. SBM(G)  Phase  II  focuses  not  only  on  constructing infrastructure  for  conversion  of  ODF  villages  to  ODF  Plus  (Model)  villages,  but  aims  at behavioral change of the masses to adopt better sanitation and hygiene practices. Accordingly, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) is integral to the programme, and lays the foundation for sustained behavioral change. It helps enhance community partnership or Jan Bhagidari in the programme, strengthening community ownership of assets created under the programme.

Under SBM(G) Phase II, States/UTs are to develop and implement their IEC campaigns and amplify Central IEC campaigns, focusing on various components of the programme including sanitation,  hygiene,  waste  management  etc.  so  as  to  strengthen  outreach  and  community participation at district, block and village levels. Under SBM(G) Phase II, for IEC and Capacity Building activities, expenditure up to 5% of the total project funds is permissible with up to 2% to be utilized at the Central level and up to 3% at the States/District level.

(f) No.
