SBM-U 2.0’s mandate was to make Urban India Garbage Free and move beyond ODF. In the last 8 years the Mission has changed the narrative to revolutionise sanitation and waste management and catapulted behaviour change in countless citizens. The second phase of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban became a people’s movement and helped in the large-scale mobilization and involvement of citizens. It was a significant step forward in the march towards effectively addressing the challenges of rapidly urbanizing India, while contributing towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
