In 2014, only 39% sanitation coverage was achieved, impacting vulnerable demographics, notably women and children. Recognizing the urgency, various initiatives were launched to address this pressing issue. • Development of in-village piped water supply infrastructure to provide tap water
connection to every rural household Swachh Bharat Mission -Grameen (SBM): Phase II (2019-2025) Having achieved the ODF status, SBM-G Phase II was launched with the objective of achieving Sampoorn Swachhata, i.e., sustaining the ODF status and managing solid and liquid waste by 2024-25 and transforming all the villages from ODF to ODF Plus Model. The key objective of SBM-G Phase II to: • Sustain the ODF status of villages • Improve the level of cleanliness in rural areas through solid and liquid waste management activities, making villages ODF Plus. This includes
The total estimated outlay of SBM(G) Phase-II is Rs.1.40 lakh crores which is to be dovetailed through convergence between different verticals of financing and various schemes of Government of India and State Governments.
The ODF Plus progress is being captured on SBM(G) MIS in following categories:
• Aspiring: The village which is sustaining its ODF status and has arrangements for Solid Waste Management or Liquid Waste Management.
• Rising: The village, which is sustaining its ODF status, and has arrangements for both Solid Waste Management and Liquid Waste Management.
• Model: The village which is sustaining its ODF status; has arrangements for both Solid Waste Management and Liquid Waste Management; observes
visual cleanliness i.e. minimal litter, minimal stagnant wastewater and no plastic waste dump in public places and displays ODF Plus IEC messages
