Under MoHUA. the comprehensive annual sanitation survey (Swachh Survekshan) is conducted
since 2016 with the aim to rank cities based on their cleanliness, promote healthy competition, raise
awareness, and foster citizen participation. So far, out of total 4910 ULBs, 4692 ULBs have been
certified the ODF status, 4314 ULBs certified as ODF+ status, 1973 ULBs certified as ODF++ and
214 ULBs certified as Water+.
The key objective of Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen Phase II is to sustain the ODF status of
villages and to improve the levels of cleanliness in rural areas through solid and liquid waste
management activities, making villages ODF plus. As per the operational guidelines of SBM (G)
Phase - II, villages must be provided with an adequate number of
individual and community compost pits for biodegradable waste including agricultural & cattle
waste, and an adequate segregation and collection system for plastic waste. For this purpose,
financial assistance of up to 60 per capita is available for villages with a population of up to 5,000,
and 45 per capita for those with a population above 5,000. This will also cover the procurement of
waste collection vehicles and the construction of storage and segregation sheds at the village or
Gram Panchayat level.
The operational guidelines also provide for at least one Plastic Waste Management Unit (PWMU) in
each block in case clustering of blocks is not possible. A provision of up to 16 lakh per block has
been made for the construction of a PWMU at the block level.
As per information received from MoHUA. Government of India launched the Swachh Bharat
Mission-Urban (SBM-U) on October 2, 2014 with the objective Open Defecation Free (ODF) and for
scientific processing of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated in all the urban areas of the
country. To carry forward the progress made, Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM-U) 2.0 has been
launched on October 1, 2021 for a period of five years with a vision of achieving Garbage Free
Status for all cities through 100% source segregation, door to door collection and scientific
management of all fractions of waste including safe disposal in scientific landfills. It also aims at
remediation of all legacy dumpsites and converting them into green zones. The Swachh Bharat
Mission Urban leverages technology to enhance sanitation and waste management across urban
India. The selection of treatment technologies is open to ULBs/State Governments, allowing them
to choose any proven technology as outlined in the Central Public Health & Environmental
Engineering Organization (CPHEEO) Manual and advisories issued from time to time. As per
Clause 15 (v) of Solid Waste Management Rules 2016, ULBs may adopt suitable technologies
including the following technologies for management of municipal solid waste:
bio-methanation, microbial composting, vermi-composting, anaerobic digestion or any other
(cid:108)
appropriate processing for bio-stabilization of biodegradable wastes;
waste to energy processes including refused derived fuel for combustible fraction of waste or
(cid:108)
supply as feedstock to solid waste-based power plants or cement kilns.
Also, to promote an enabling environment for development startups and entrepreneurs in the waste
management sector, in collaboration with Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT),
start-ups are identified through challenge mode. A centre has been set up at Startup Incubation and Innovation
Center (SIIC), IIT Kanpur for providing one year of incubation support to the shortlisted organizations
