Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was launched in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Mahatma Gandhi's birthday to improve sanitation in India. SBM aims to make India open defecation free by 2019 using a multi-pronged approach including community participation, flexibility in toilet options, capacity building, and broad engagement. Over 9.5 crore toilets have been constructed since 2014. As of 2019, over 93% of villages, 96% of gram panchayats, 88% of blocks and 88% of districts have been declared open defecation free.

4. Launch of SBM
“Sanitation is more important than independence”
-Mahatma Gandhi
Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was introduced by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi
It was introduced on 2nd October 2014, the birth anniversary of Mahatma
Gandhi
Multi-pronged approach to enhance the level of sanitation in the country
Targets of SBM are to be met by 2nd October 2019 coinciding with the 150th
birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation

5. Need for SBM
Lack of sanitation has been recognised as a major problem in India
Even 67 Years after India’s Independence in 2014 around 10 crore rural and about 1 crore urban
households in India were without a sanitary toilet
Over 56.4 crore close to half the population, still practiced open defecation

6. Multi Faceted Approach Adopted by SBM
• Appropriate participation of the beneficiary/communities,
financially or otherwise, in the setting up of the toilets
• To promote ownership and sustained use
Community Participation
• Menu of options so that the poor/disadvantaged families can
subsequently upgrade their toilets depending upon their
requirements and their financial position
Flexibility in Choice
• Augments the institutional capacity of districts to change
behaviour at the grassroots level and strengthen the capacities
of implementing agencies
Capacity Building

7. Contd…
• Incentivizing the performance of State-level institutions to
implement activities for behavioural change among communities
Instil Behavior Change
• Swachh Bharat Kosh to encourage Corporate Social Responsibility
and accept contributions from private organizations, individuals
and philanthropists
Broad-based Engagement
• Allows citizens to keep a check on the availability of toilets for
every rural household in India
Use of Technology

8. Incentives

9. Achievements of SBM
98.9% of India has been covered under SBM
Since October 2014, over 9.5 crore toilets have been built all over the country (till 14.06.2019)
A major focus of SBM has been on making villages Open Defecation Free (ODF)

10. Open Defecation Free (ODF)
Declared as ODF
Villages 5,61,014 93.41%
Gram Panchayats 2,48,847 96.20%
Blocks 6,091 88.60%
