Additional Details
Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), or Clean India Mission, is a country-wide campaign launched by the Government of India on 2 October 2014 to eliminate open defecation, improve solid waste management, and promote general cleanliness. It is structured into two main sub-missions: SBM-Gramin (administered by the Ministry of Jal Shakti) for rural areas, and SBM-Urban (administered by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs) for cities.
The first phase of the mission (2014–2019) focused on accelerating toilet construction, leading to the creation of over 100 million household latrines and declaring hundreds of thousands of villages Open Defecation Free (ODF). Phase 2 (2020–2025) shifts the focus towards sustaining this ODF status, implementing extensive solid and liquid waste management (SLWM), and managing plastic/greywater waste, classifying participating villages as 'ODF Plus'.
The scheme offers an incentive subsidy of ₹12,000 for individual household latrine (IHHL) construction for eligible rural families to ensure dignified, private sanitation.
