Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM-G), the world’s largest sanitation initiative, launched by the Prime Minister of India in 2014 to achieve open defecation-free India by October 2, 2019, as a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi . The SBM-G campaign contributed to ameliorating significant economic, environmental and health impacts, particularly contributing to the empowerment of women. Neemuch district was declared ODF in May 2017. The Government of India approved Phase II of SBM-G in February 2020 to focus on stabilization of ODF status and covering villages with solid and liquid waste management (SLWM). Its objective is to transform villages from ODF to ODF Plus by 2024-25.
To achieve the target of ODF Plus the villages are focusing on the following work _ _
- Access to individual toilets for abandoned and newly formed households
- Biodegradable Waste Management by Composting
- Establishment of biogas plants
- Collection, Segregation and Storage Facilities for Plastic Waste Management
- Construction of soak pits, waste stabilization ponds, DEWATS etc. for greywater management.
- Faecal sludge management through co-treatment in existing sewage treatment plants/fecal sludge treatment plants (STP/FSTP) in urban areas and setting up of rural FSTPs under the programme.
There are three progressive stages of ODF Plus villages.
- While a village which retains its ODF status and has arrangements for solid waste management or liquid waste management is considered an ODF Plus aspiring village;
- A village that maintains its ODF status and has arrangements for both solid waste management or liquid waste management is an ODF Plus rising village.
- On the other hand, an ODF +Model village is one that retains its ODF status and has arrangements for both solid waste management and liquid waste management; Observes visual cleanliness, i.e., minimum litter, minimum stagnant waste water, no plastic garbage dumps in public places; and displays ODF Plus Information, Education and Communication (IEC) messages.
