It is a national level campaign by the

Government of India covering 4000 statutory

improve solid waste management and to create
Open Defecation Free (ODF) villages.

menstrual health management.

It is a restructured version of the Nirmal Bharat

Abhiyan launched in 2009.

It is divided into two phases:

Phase 1 of the Swachh Bharat Mission
lasted till 2nd October 2019.

Phase 2 is being implemented between 2020–21

and 2024–25 to help cement the work of Phase 1
 OBJECTIVES
Open defecation free behaviours are sustained and no one is left behind.

Solid and liquid waste management facilities are accessible and reinforcing ODF behaviours
and focus on providing interventions for safe management of solid and liquid waste in villages.

To encourage cost effective and appropriate technologies for ecologically safe and sustainable

To develop, wherever required, community managed sanitation systems focusing on scientific

Solid & Liquid Waste Management systems for overall cleanliness in the rural areas.

 PHASES

The mission was split into two: rural

and urban.

In rural areas "SBM - Gramin" was

financed and monitored through the
Ministry of Drinking Water and
Sanitation

"SBM - urban" was overseen by the

Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
 Swachh India Movement (Urban) aims to free urban India from
open defecation and scientific management of municipal solid
waste in 4,000+ cities across the country.

One of its targets is to construct 59 lakh Individual Household

SBM {URBAN}

Latrines (IHHLs) by 2019. This target was achieved by 2020.

In 2020, the Indian government launched Phase II of the Swachh Bharat Mission.

This phase focuses on maintaining current Open Defecation Free (ODF) statuses
across the country, as well as improving waste management in villages.

Villages that maintain the ODF status and also implement waste management systems
are designated "ODF Plus", while villages that have partially implemented waste
management systems (e.g. for only one of solid or liquid waste) are designated "ODF
Plus Aspiring".

In May 2023, the Indian government announced that 50% of villages in India had
achieved the ODF Plus status, with the state of Telangana achieving a 100% ODF Plus
rate.
