Executive Summary & Key Takeaways
Executive Summary The report outlines the implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) Phase-II from 2020-21 to 2026-27, which focuses on sustaining Open Defecation Free (ODF) status and achieving "ODF Plus" status in rural India through solid and liquid waste management. It establishes three categories for village progress—Aspiring, Rising, and Model—and details the financial framework, including fund convergence and a 5% allocation for behavioral change initiatives. Key monitoring is conducted via centralized digital portals and mobile applications to ensure visual cleanliness and community ownership.
Key Points / Main Content
Objectives and Implementation Timeline
- The mission aims to convert villages from ODF to ODF Plus (Model) by implementing solid and liquid waste management (SLWM) arrangements.
- Phase-II is scheduled for implementation between the financial years 2020-21 and 2026-27.
- The program follows a 100% rural sanitation coverage achievement reached in 2019, where 10 crore household latrines were constructed.
ODF Plus Categorization Benchmarks
- ODF Plus Aspiring: Villages sustaining ODF status with arrangements for either Solid OR Liquid Waste Management.
- ODF Plus Rising: Villages sustaining ODF status with arrangements for both Solid AND Liquid Waste Management.
- ODF Plus Model: Villages sustaining ODF status, possessing both waste management types, exhibiting visual cleanliness (minimal litter/stagnant water), and displaying Information, Education & Communication (IEC) messages.
Financial and Technical Support
- SBM(G) Phase-II is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with funding shared between the Center and States/UTs.
- States/UTs are encouraged to converge funds through Finance Commission grants and other existing Central/State schemes.
- A maximum of 5% of total project funds is earmarked for IEC and Capacity Building (2% at the Central level and 3% at State/District levels).
Digital Monitoring and Asset Tracking
- Progress is tracked via the SBM-G Portal & Dashboard at National, State, District, Block, and Village levels.
- Mobile applications (mSBM and SBM 2.0) are used for the geo-tagging of individual household latrines (IHHLs), Community Sanitary Complexes (CSCs), and SLWM assets.
Community Engagement
- The mission emphasizes "Jan Bhagidari" (community partnership) to ensure the sustainability of assets.
- IEC campaigns are central to the strategy, focusing on behavioral change to adopt better hygiene practices.
Impact Analysis
State and Union Territory Governments Impact: As sanitation is a State subject, these governments are the primary implementers responsible for rural jurisdictions and must manage fund convergence from various grants. Action Required: They must develop local plans for sanitation facilities, implement IEC campaigns, and ensure all created assets are geo-tagged and reported through digital portals.
Rural Communities and Villages Impact: Residents benefit from improved visual cleanliness, reduced stagnant wastewater, and better waste management infrastructure. Action Required: Communities must adopt behavioral changes regarding hygiene and take ownership of local assets to ensure long-term sustainability.
Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS) Impact: The department serves as the oversight body providing technical support, budgetary allocations, and operational guidelines. Action Required: It must monitor progress across 34 States/UTs and issue advisories to ensure the mission meets its 2026-27 targets.

SBM(G) Phase-II Accelerates Sustainable Rural Sanitation
and ODF Plus Transformation
प्रव तथ: 30 JUL 2026 5:30PM by PIB Delhi
Sanitation is State subject. Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) Phase II [SBM(G)-Phase II], is a Centrally
Sponsored Scheme, implemented by States and Union Territory (UTs) Governments in rural areas within
their respective jurisdictions. SBM(G)-Phase II is being implemented in rural areas of the country during
the period from 2020-21 to 2026-27, with focus on Open Defecation Free (ODF) sustainability and to
cover all the villages with solid and liquid waste management (SLWM) arrangements with visual
cleanliness i.e. converting villages from ODF to ODF Plus (Model). The benchmarks for declaration of
villages as Open Defecation Free (ODF) Plus under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) Phase-II and
the categorization are as follows:
ODF Plus Aspiring: A village which is sustaining its ODF status and has arrangements for Solid
Waste Management OR Liquid Waste Management;
ODF Plus Rising: A village which is sustaining its ODF status and has arrangements for both Solid
Waste Management and Liquid Waste Management:
ODF Plus Model: A village which is sustaining its ODF status and has arrangements for both Solid
Waste Management and Liquid Waste Management; observes visual cleanliness, i.e., minimal litter,
minimal stagnant wastewater, no plastic waste dump in public places; and displays ODF Plus
Information, Education & Communication (IEC) messages.
(c) Government of India had launched Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM(G)], a Centrally
Sponsored Scheme, with effect from 2nd October, 2014 with the aim to attain Open Defecation Free
(ODF) India by 2nd October, 2019 by providing access to toilet facilities in rural areas. More than 10 crore
individual household latrines (IHHLs) were constructed under the programme between 2014 to 2019, as
per the data reported by the States/UTs. As a result, sanitation coverage in the rural areas of the country
has increased from 39% as on 02.10.2014 to 100% and all villages declared themselves ODF in 2019.
SBM(G)-Phase-II is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, implemented by States/UTs Governments in rural
areas with focus on Open Defecation Free (ODF) sustainability and to cover all the villages with solid and
liquid waste management arrangements with visual cleanliness i.e. converting the villages from ODF to
ODF Plus (Model).
Government of India has been providing financial and technical support to the State/UT Governments to
supplement their efforts to improve overall sanitation and SLWM in the rural areas. Besides budgetary
support from DDWS (Centre Share) and State share, the States/UTs also converge funds through Finance
Commission grants and various Central/State schemes, as per the guidelines, as applicable. Further, under
SBM(G) Phase II funds are not released component-wise or project-wise or separately for AspirationalDistricts by this Department. However, States/UTs can plan for providing sanitation and hygiene facilities
as per the local demand in rural areas, including villages in Aspirational Districts, under their overall AIP.
Apart from providing budgetary support, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS) issues
operational guidelines, advisories and monitors the implementation of the programme.
State/UT-wise Central share of funds released under SBM(G) Phase-II from FY 2020-21 to FY 2025-26 is
placed at Annexure.
Under Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen), following digital monitoring portals and mobile applications
are being used for monitoring the progress of the programme across 34 States/UTs:
(i) SBM-G Portal & Dashboard: A centralized portal (https://swachhbharatmission.ddws.gov.in) and
dashboard (https://sbm.gov.in/sbmgdashboard/statesdashboard.aspx) is used for monitoring progress
under SBM(G) at the National, State, district, block and village levels. The SBM(G) dashboard captures
the progress of States/UTs on various components of SBM(G) including Open Defecation Free (ODF)
Plus status, construction of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs) and Community Sanitary Complexes
(CSCs), solid and liquid waste management (SLWM) assets and Information, Education &
Communication (IEC).
(ii) Mobile Applications: The mSBM and SBM2.0 mobile applications have been developed under
SBM(G) which are used for geo-tagging of IHHLs and geo-tagging of solid and liquid waste management
assets (including CSCs) respectively. SBM 2.0 mobile application also captures assets constructed under
the programme.
SBM(G) Phase II is not just about constructing infrastructure for ODF Plus villages but aims at behaviour
change of the masses to adopt better sanitation and hygiene practices. Accordingly, Information,
Education and Communication (IEC) is integral to the programme, which lays foundation for sustainable
behavioural change and community partnership Jan Bhagidari in the programme. It also strengthens
community ownership of assets created under the programme. Since sanitation is a State subject,
States/UTs are to develop and implement IEC campaigns, focusing on various components of the
programme including sanitation, hygiene and waste management. 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.
