Impacts of Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen)

• As per study done by UNICEF on “Access to toilets and safety, convenience and self-respect of women
in rural India” in February, 2020, a major improvement in the safety of women after the construction
of toilets was evident, with 93% of women reporting that they were no longer afraid of being hurt by
someone or harmed by animals while defecating.
• As per WHO study released in 2018, it is estimated that SBM-G will result in averting more than
3,00,000 deaths (diarrhoea and protein-energy malnutrition) between 2014 and October 2019.
• UNICEF in 2017 has estimated that a household in an ODF village in India saves Rs.50,000.
• Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) in 2017 has estimated that households in an ODF villages
in India have significantly better health indicators.
• As per study done by UNICEF during 2018-19 in some selected villages, groundwater sources were
likely to be 12.7 times less contaminated in the open defecation free (ODF) villages as compared to
non-ODF villages.
• BMGF in 2019 has estimated that the SBM mobilized a spend equivalent worth Rs. 22,000 crore to
Rs.26,000 crore in monetary and nonmonetary IEC activities. Of this spend equivalent, cash expenditure
on IEC activities spent by the Government, private sector, and the development community is estimated
to be between Rs.3,500 to 4,000 crore.

Karnataka implements rural sanitation policy
In a bold step, the State of Karnataka is the first State to come up with a Sanitation Policy,
Strategy, and model by-laws for rural areas. The policy document and strategy lay the roadmap
for ODF Plus which includes management of biodegradable and organic waste, plastic waste,
and liquid waste.
Under SBM (G) guidelines, States are required to develop an implementation framework to
enable execution of the guidelines bearing in mind State-specific challenges, requirements, and
dynamics. As a part of this implementation framework and according to the requirements of SWM
Rules 2016 and PWM Rules 2016, the Department has framed a policy guidance document with
strategic vision. This will drive the systematic implementation of rural sanitation programme
and formulate enforcement of by-laws detailing applicable regulations for effective execution
of the rural sanitation programme with special focus on solid and liquid waste management.

Banaskantha Bio-gas model is worth replicating
In an effective ‘waste to wealth’ initiative, the Banas Dairy from Banaskantha District of Gujarat
is converting cow dung into biogas and slurry. While the bio-gas is then purified into Bio CBG
(compressed biogas) and Bio CNG (compressed natural gas) for use as fuel in vehicles; the
slurry is converted into organic manure for use in agricultural fields, thereby safeguarding the
environment and at the same time promoting waste management.
Under the new initiative on Waste to Wealth, the dairy set up a Biogas Plant in February 2020.
It commenced procuring cow dung from the 254 dairy farmers at the rate of Rs.1 per kilogram.
The bio-gas plant has the capacity to treat 40 tonnes of cow dung and potato waste each day. To
9
collect the cow dung each day, tractors are sent to homes of farmers, equipped with weighing
scales. Once the cow dung reaches the plant, it is mixed with water in the ratio of 1:1 and after
2-3 hours is fed into a digester or a closed tank where it remains for 35 days. The gas is stored
in large balloon shaped tanks where the slurry is separated into solid and liquid parts. The solid
part is now used for vermi-composting and the liquid part is recycled in the plant or directly sold
to farmers for use in fields.
According to reports, the biogas produced from this plant, using German technology can supply
CNG as fuel to 100 vehicles a day, providing more mileage.

E-Lungdar’s CSC is a quintessential model
Constructed by the WATSAN (water and sanitation) committee of East Lungdar, the Community
Sanitary Complex is the pride of this village. Having spent an estimated Rupees four lakh, the unit
meets all sanitation needs. Spread across an area of 5 meters’ square, with a basement storeroom,
the CSC has 3 male urinals with flush, 2 Indian type commodes, one western style commode
and one wash basin. Tap water connection with all necessary fittings are available in all toilets,
urinals, and the wash basin. While buckets with mugs are available for use in the Indian toilets,
hand shower is provided for the European toilet; the facility equipped with windows and proper
ventilation.
The CSC is maintained by the WATSAN Committee; although it is run by a nearby shopkeeper
who uses the basement as a storeroom. The tenant pays Rs.500 per month for use of the basement
and users are charged a small fee. 25% of the revenue earned from user charges and rent of the
basement is given to the WATSAN committee as remuneration.
14
Local artisans and associations have collaborated to enhance appearance of the CSC. While
paintings of a man and woman in traditional Mizo attire adorn the sides of the entrance; the local
florist association has decorated the sides of the building with flowering pots. Key sanitation
messages featuring the Dos and the Don’ts of sanitation are painted on the walls, to encourage
people to keep the facility and the surroundings clean and to follow safe sanitation practices.

3. Jal Jeevan Mission – Har Ghar Jal
Functional household tap connection to every rural home by 2024
37
“Brothers and Sisters,
Last time, I had announced Jal Jeevan Mission. It is completing one year. I am very proud to tell you that
our dream of making available safe drinking water to all the people is getting realized. The solution to
several health problems is directly linked to the safe drinking water. It also contributes to the nation’s
economy. That’s why we have started Jal Jeevan Mission.
Today, I am happy to share that every day we are able to provide piped water connection to over one
lakh households. And in the last one year, we have been able to provide tap water to 2 crore families,
especially to the tribals living in the forests and far-flung areas. A huge campaign has been launched.
And I am glad that today ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ has created an environment of healthy competition in
the country. There is a healthy competition among the districts, among the cities and also among the
States. Everyone is hoping that the Prime Minister’s dream of ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ is accomplished at the
earliest in their respective areas. The new strength of cooperative and competition federalism has been
associated with ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ and we are moving forward with this.”

“Friends,
Another campaign which is going to benefit the whole of India, including Bundelkhand
extensively is the Jal Jeevan Mission. Now every person of the country is moving forward
with a resolve to make India free from water-logging and droughts. Work has begun to
provide pure drinking water to about 15 crore families of the country in the coming 5
years. Here too, priority is being given to the aspirational districts. This scheme is such
that all of you have to participate, every village has to do it. Government will give money
to you; it will give you funds, but you have to do the work. All the people of the villages
have to decide where the pipes have to be laid, where the water will be collected and how
they will be maintained. Our sisters will play a major role in it. This is self-reliance, this
is the spirit of empowerment of the village, this is the vision of Gandhiji’s Gram Swaraj”

will serve 25 cities and towns, including Greater Imphal, as well as more than 1,700 villages
and will serve as a lifeline for the people. And most importantly, this project is designed
keeping in mind the needs of not only today but also of the next 20-22 years.
With this project, not only will lakhs of people have access to clean drinking water, but
thousands of people will also get employment. And you know very well that drinking pure
water helps in boosting immunity and creating resistance to diseases. Therefore, its use is not
limited to piped water supply only. Certainly, this project will give a lot of momentum to our
comprehensive goal of providing access of piped water to every household. I congratulate the
people of Manipur and especially my mothers and sisters from Manipur for this water project.
Last year when the Jal Jeevan Mission was getting launched in the country, I had said that we
would have to work many times faster than the previous governments. When piped water is
to be delivered to more than 15 crore houses, we cannot think of stopping even for a moment.
This was the reason that even at the time of lockdown, the work of laying pipelines and
creating awareness in the villages continued with the help of the Panchayats.”
Shri Narendra Modi
