Swachh Bharat Mission

In this discussion paper, we celebrate how SBM has galvanised a nation around a single cause like never before – to “Clean India”. The campaign has made significant progress certifying open defecation-free villages, while raising hygiene awareness and standards. SBM has also chipped away at the prejudice against those who work in waste disposal and sanitation, with celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and the Prime Minister himself grabbing tools to clean India.

However, at the mid-point, there is more work to do. This discussion paper aims to make an important contribution to SBM’s successful completion, by assessing progress to date, identifying challenges for the coming years and suggesting ways to give SBM the greatest chance of achieving its ambition.
