SUSTAINING OPEN DEFECATION FREE STATUS
Access to sanitation has grown enormously in India under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM). As all
villages strive to become open defecation free (ODF), attention is now moving to sustaining the
achievement. SBM (G) is providing both technical and financial support for sustainability initiatives,
particularly for IEC, capacity building and incentives for Swachhagrahis (foot soldiers).
Some Initiatives by StatesNo visible faeces found in the environment/village;
Every household uses safe technology options for
the disposal of faecesJashpur district of Chhattisgarh state
validates open defecation status of villages
through a ballot by students.
Bihar’s Rohtas district has a community
court that addresses reasons for the
existence of the open defecation practice.
ODF verification at two levels –
the first within 3 months of a
village declaring itself ODF and
a second verification within
6 months of the first verification
Continued IEC in villages to
ensure households do not revert
to open defecation
Incentive grants for
community managed
piped water supply
schemes in ODF
villages
Technical cells being
established in all
states for
sustainability
activities and solid
and liquid waste
management
Special initiative
GOBAR-DHAN for
managing cattle dung,
farm waste and other
organic waste
Funds allocated for
fixing dysfunctional
toilets from earlier
schemes
ODFSafe disposal of human excreta is sustained
post the attainment of ODF status

Special Role of Swachhagrahis in Sustaining ODF Communities
95.8%
Swachhagrahis, or village level motivators, work in each village to ensure that communities achieve ODF and
that ODF communities continue to be ODF. Their role is to:
Households can choose the type of toilet they
prefer and can invest more if they choose to
Sustainability guidelines recommend that
States/districts continue engagement with
villages post ODF
States develop action plans showing commitment
of funds for human resources and IEC
National awards and incentives are given to
States for sustaining ODF; States also
incentivize villages on sustainability parameters
Convergence of funds from other national
schemes such as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) (for
livelihoods) and the 14th Finance Commission
grant (which supplements funds to local bodies)
Frequent orientation workshops on
components of ODF sustainability such as IEC,
retrofitting, best practices, etc.
∠ Reinforce improved behaviours through door-to-door communication
∠ Create awareness of operation and maintenance of toilets, menstrual hygiene management and
handwashing with soap
∠ Support ODF verifications of their villages
∠ Facilitate toilet construction for newly formed households and for retrofitting existing toilets for
better performance
The National Annual Rural Sanitation Survey
(NARSS) 2017/18, supported by the World Bank,
was an independent survey of sanitation.
Conducted during November 2017 and March 2018,
the NARSS surveyed 92,040 households in 6,136
villages across rural India. Schools and
public/community toilets were also surveyed.
Based on the performance of States in the survey,
the Mission incentivizes States to further improve
in areas of sustainability and solid and liquid
waste management.
ODF verified
villages were
confirmed to be

access to a

Swachh Survekshan Grameen (SSG)-2018, a nationwide survey, was
undertaken by an independent agency between August 1 and 31, 2018
to rank States and Districts according to their performance on key
qualitative and quantitative Swachh Bharat Mission - Grameen
(SBM-G) parameters. Survey was supported by intensive IEC
campaign followed by assessment of sanitation and cleanliness on
ground through direct observations of public places, feedback from
citizens and service level progress.
15+ million responses received from citizens and the survey shows
that 66% citizens feel that there has been substantial improvement in
cleanliness after the implementation of SBM.
