well as providing access to hygiene education and services.
Promote sustainable practices. This includes encouraging
water conservation and wastewater reuse, as well as
protecting water sources.
Strengthen governance and institutions. This includes
developing effective policies and regulations, as well as
building the capacity of government agencies and water and
sanitation utilities.
Engage with stakeholders. This includes working with
communities, businesses, and other stakeholders to
develop and implement solutions.
In the context of water and sanitation, governments can also
take the following steps to achieve their goals and targets:
20. Construction of toilets for
individual households and
community toilets for public
use:
Construction of toilets for individual households
and community toilets for public use
This component of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA)
aims to increase access to toilets for all, including
those who live in rural areas and urban slums. The SBA
provides financial assistance to state and local
governments to construct individual household toilets
and community toilets.
Individual household toilets are toilets that are built for
individual families. Community toilets are toilets that are
shared by multiple households. Community toilets are
typically built in public places, such as near bus stops,
railway stations, and markets.
The SBA has made significant progress in constructing
toilets in recent years. As of February 2023, over 100
million toilets have been constructed under the
scheme, and over 560 million people now have access
to improved sanitation facilities.
21. Solid waste management,
including collection,
transportation, disposal and
processing of municipal solid
waste
Increasing the collection of municipal solid waste.

to disposal sites.
Developing new and improved disposal methods for
municipal solid waste.
This component of the SBA aims to improve solid waste
management in India. The SBA provides financial
assistance to state and local governments to improve the
collection, transportation, disposal and processing of
municipal solid waste.
Municipal solid waste is the waste that is generated by
households and businesses in urban areas. It includes
waste such as organic waste, recyclable waste and non-
recyclable waste.
The SBA has helped to improve solid waste management
in India by:
