Swachh Bharat Mission – Gramin
To accelerate the efforts to achieve Universal Sanitation Coverage and to put the focus on sanitation, the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India had launched the Swachh Bharat Mission on 2nd October 2014. Under the mission, all villages, Gram Panchayats, Districts, States and Union Territories in India declared themselves “open-defecation free” (ODF) by 2 October 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, by constructing over 100 million toilets in rural India.
The Swachh Bharat Mission – Gramin (SBM-G) programme, under the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, is a flagship programme of the Government of India. The e-Governance application used for its monitoring has been developed in-house by NIC under the guidance of the SBM-G programme division. It is an integrated portal having various web-based modules, Mobile Apps and multiple GIS-based dashboards for close and effective monitoring of the progress of implementation at various levels, viz. the PMO, all states and districts across the country and at the Ministry itself.
The eGovernance Solutions including Mobile Apps, developed by NIC, for Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G) help the Ministry of Drinking Water & Sanitation track the progress of cleanliness campaigns in different states. SBM-G is built upon hybrid deployment, made with the combination of High Availability Solution and Disaster Recovery Solution for SQL Server at a database level.
The software deployment has been done on Microsoft Virtual Machines (VMs) on MeghRaj Cloud Infrastructure with SQL Server 2016 as the backend database with a High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) solution.
HA and DR strategies strive to address non-functional requirements such as performance, system availability, fault tolerance, data retention, business continuity and user experience. It is imperative that selection of an appropriate HA and DR strategy is driven by business requirements. For HA, all service level agreements expected of the system have to be considered. For defining DR requirements, measurable characteristics such as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) have to be considered.
Hybrid deployment by combining the High Availability Solution with Disaster Recovery Solution for SQL Server at a database level with AlwaysOn Availability Groups has been used as HADR Solution for Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin.

Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission is a country-wide campaign initiated by the Government of India in 2014 to eliminate open defecation and improve solid waste management. It is a restructured version of the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan launched in 2009 that failed to achieve its intended targets.[2][3]Phase 1 of the Swachh Bharat Mission lasted till October 2019.
Phase 2 is being implemented between 2020–21 and 2024–25 to help cement the work of Phase 1.[4]
Initiated by the Government of India, the mission aimed to achieve an "open-defecation free" (ODF) India by 2 October 2019, the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Gandhi[5] through construction of toilets. An estimated 89.9 million toilets were built in the period.[6] The objectives of the first phase of the mission also included eradication of manual scavenging, generating awareness and bringing about a behavior change regarding sanitation practices, and augmentation of capacity at the local level.
The second phase of the mission aims to sustain the open defecation free status and improve the management of solid and liquid waste, while also working to improve the lives of sanitation workers.[7] The mission is aimed at progressing towards target 6.2 of the Sustainable Development Goals Number 6 established by the United Nations in 2015.
The campaign's official name is in Hindi. In English, it translates to "Clean India Mission". The campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It is India's largest cleanliness drive to date with three million government employees and students from all parts of India participating in 4,043 cities, towns, and rural communities.
At a rally in Champaran, the Prime Minister called the campaign in reference to Gandhi's launched on 10 April 1916.[8]
The mission was split into two: rural and urban. In rural areas "SBM - Gramin" was financed and monitored through the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (since converted to the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Ministry of Jal Shakti) whereas "SBM - urban" was overseen by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.[9][10][11][12]
As part of the campaign, volunteers, known as , or "Ambassadors of cleanliness", promoted the construction of toilets using a popular method called Community-Led Total Sanitation[13] at the village level.[8] Other activities included national real-time monitoring and updates from non-governmental organizations such as The Ugly Indian, Waste Warriors, and SWACH Pune (Solid Waste Collection and Handling).[14]
The government provided subsidy for construction of nearly 90 million toilets between 2014 and 2019,[15][5] although some Indians especially in rural areas choose to not use them.[16] The campaign was criticized for using coercive approaches to force people to use toilets.[17] Some people were stopped from defecating in open and threatened with withdrawal from government benefits.[18] The campaign was financed by the Government of India and state governments. The former released $5.8 billion (Rs 40,700 crore) of funds for toilet construction in 700,000 villages.[19][20] The total budget for the rural and urban components was estimated at $28 billion, of which 93 percent was for construction, with the rest being allocated for behavior change campaigns and administration.[21][22][23]
Background[edit]
See also: Sanitation in India
In 2011, the Census revealed that sanitation coverage as measured by the number of households owning toilets was just 34 per cent in rural India. An estimated 600 million people defecated in the open,[24] the highest of any country in the world. Coverage about open defecation and contamination of drinking and bathing water in India prompted the government to take measures to deal with the problem.[21][25][26]
Previous sanitation campaigns[edit]
The first formal sanitation programme was first launched in 1954, followed by Central Rural Sanitation Programme in 1986. These were construction-led and achieved very little. The Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) was started in 1999 and Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan in 2012[27][28][29][30] to generate demand for sanitation, linked to subsidy payments for the construction of toilets by families living below the poverty line.
A limited randomized study of eighty villages in rural (Madhya Pradesh) showed that the TSC programme did modestly increase the number of households with latrines, and had a small effect in reducing open defecation. Of the 138.2 million rural households in India (a 2001 figure), nearly 3.5 million constructed toilets.[31] However, there was no improvement in the health of children."[32][33] The earlier "Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan" rural sanitation program was hampered by the unrealistic approach.[34][35] Consequently, Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan was restructured by Cabinet approval on 24 September 2014 as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.[36]

“A clean India would be the best tribute India could pay to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150 birth anniversary in 2019,” said Shri Narendra Modi as he launched the Swachh Bharat Mission at Rajpath in New Delhi. On 2nd October 2014, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched throughout length and breadth of the country as a national movement. The campaign aims to achieve the vision of a ‘Clean India’ by 2nd October 2019.

The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is the most significant cleanliness campaign by the Government of India. Shri Narendra Modi led a cleanliness pledge at India Gate, which about thirty lakh government employees across the country joined. He also flagged off a walkathon at Rajpath and surprised people by joining in not just for a token few steps, but marching with the participants for a long way.
While leading the mass movement for cleanliness, the Prime Minister exhorted people to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of a clean and hygienic India. Shri Narendra Modi himself initiated the cleanliness drive at Mandir Marg Police Station. Picking up the broom to clean the dirt, making Swachh Bharat Abhiyan a mass movement across the nation, the Prime Minister said people should neither litter, nor let others litter. He gave the mantra of ‘Na gandagi karenge, Na karne denge.’ Shri Narendra Modi also invited nine people to join the cleanliness drive and requested each of them to draw nine more into the initiative.
By inviting people to participate in the drive, the Swachhta Abhiyan has turned into a National Movement. A sense of responsibility has been evoked among the people through the Clean India Movement. With citizens now becoming active participants in cleanliness activities across the nation, the dream of a ‘Clean India’ once seen by Mahatma Gandhi has begun to get a shape.
The Prime Minister has helped spread the message of Swachh Bharat by urging people through his words & action. He carried out a cleanliness drive in Varanasi as well. He wielded a spade near River Ganga at Assi Ghat in Varanasi under the Clean India Mission. He was joined by a large group of local people who cooperated in the Swachhta Abhiyan. Understanding the significance of sanitation, Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has simultaneously addressed the health problems that roughly half of the Indians families have to deal with due to lack of proper toilets in their homes.
People from different sections of the society have come forward and joined this mass movement of cleanliness. From government officials to jawans, bollywood actors to the sportspersons, industrialists to spiritual leaders, all have lined up for the noble work. Millions of people across the country have been day after day joining the cleanliness initiatives of the government departments, NGOs and local community centres to make India clean. Organising frequent cleanliness campaigns to spreading awareness about hygiene through plays and music is also being widely carried out across the nation.

Prime Minister himself has praised the efforts by people and various departments and organisations for taking part in the Swachh Bharat Mission and contributing toward a cleaner India. Shri Narendra Modi has always openly lauded the participation of people via social media. The ‘#MyCleanIndia’ was also launched simultaneously as a part of the Swachh Bharat drive to highlight the cleanliness work carried out by citizens across the nation.
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has become a ‘Jan Andolan’ receiving tremendous support from the people. Citizens too have turned out in large numbers and pledged for a neat and cleaner India. Taking the broom to sweep the streets, cleaning up the garbage, focussing on sanitation and maintaining a hygienic environment have become a practice after the launch of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. People have started to take part and are helping spread the message of ‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness.’
