"Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) Phase II" is focused on sustaining the Open Defecation Free (ODF) status of villages and enhancing cleanliness through Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM) in rural areas. It aims to make villages ODF Plus by addressing ODF sustainability, solid waste management, liquid waste management, and visual cleanliness.
The main objectives of SBM(G) Phase II are: 1. ODF-Sustainability: Ensuring that villages maintain their ODF status. 2. Solid Waste Management: Establishing waste segregation and composting systems. 3. Liquid Waste Management: Setting up soak pits and treatment for greywater and stormwater. 4. Visual Cleanliness: Enhancing the overall cleanliness and hygiene of rural areas.
New eligible households will be provided incentive @ Rs.12000 per household for construction of IHHL, which is the existing norm of financial incentive. Only new eligible households will be provided the incentive money. Ineligible households will be motivated to construct the toilet on their own. The Community Sanitary Complex has been renamed as Community Managed Sanitation Complex (CMSC). The financial assistance for the CMSC has been enhanced from Rs.2,00,000/- to Rs. 3,00,000/- with sharing of 30% funds from 15th Finance Commission grants to Rural Local Bodies, and remaining 70% under SBM(G). Provision for IEC and Capacity Building will be at 5% of total project cost, with 2% to be utilised at the Central level (Government of India level) and 3% at State/district level. Provision for administrative cost will be 1% of the project cost. Under SBM-G Phase II, block and district level interventions have also been introduced for certain activities related to SLWM. Generally, funding for SLWM will be on a per capita basis instead of earlier provision based on the number of households in a GP. While 30% of the funding for village level SLWM activities will be from 15th Finance Commission grants, the remaining 70% will be borne under SBM(G). However, for some activities such as Plastic Waste Management at block level and model GOBAR-dhan projects at district level, there will be a fixed amount of financial assistance for a block and a district. For the first time, 50% funds of 15th Finance Commission grants to rural local bodies is earmarked for water and sanitation as tied funds.
