NEW DELHI:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched the second phase of the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation.

In line with the vision of the prime minister, SBM-U 2.0 and AMRUT 2.0 have been designed to realise the aspiration to make all cities garbage free and water secure, according to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

At an event at the Ambedkar International Centre here, the prime minister launched the flagship missions.

We are committed to ensuring cleaner and better urban spaces. Watch my speech. https://t.co/5rP37YGogd

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) October 1, 2021

These missions signify a step forward in the march towards effectively addressing the challenges of rapidly urbanising India and will also help contribute towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030, the PMO said.

SBM-U 2.0 envisions to make all cities ”garbage free” and ensure grey and black water management in all cities other than those covered under AMRUT, make all urban local bodies open defecation free+ and those with a population of less than one lakh as open defecation free++, thereby achieving the vision of safe sanitation in urban areas.

2014 में देशवासियों ने भारत को खुले में शौच से मुक्त करने का- ODF बनाने का संकल्प लिया था।

10 करोड़ से ज्यादा शौचालयों के निर्माण के साथ देशवासियों ने ये संकल्प पूरा किया।

अब ‘स्वच्छ भारत मिशन-अर्बन 2.0’ का लक्ष्य है Garbage-Free शहर, कचरे के ढेर से पूरी तरह मुक्त शहर बनाना: PM

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) October 1, 2021

The mission will focus on source segregation of solid waste, utilising the principles of 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), scientific processing of all types of municipal solid waste and remediation of legacy dumpsites for effective solid waste management, the PMO said.

The outlay of SBM-U 2.0 is around Rs 1.41 lakh crore, it said.

मिशन अमृत के अगले चरण में देश का लक्ष्य है-

‘सीवेज और सेप्टिक मैनेजमेंट बढ़ाना, अपने शहरों को Water secure cities’ बनाना और ये सुनिश्चित करना कि हमारी नदियों में कहीं पर भी कोई गंदा नाला न गिरे: PM @narendramodi

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) October 1, 2021

AMRUT 2.0 aims at providing 100 per cent coverage of water supply to all households in around 4,700 urban local bodies by providing about 2.68 crore tap connections and 100 per cent coverage of sewerage and septage in 500 AMRUT cities by providing around 2.64 crore sewer or septage connections, which will benefit more than 10.5 crore people in urban areas, the PMO said.

AMRUT 2.0 will adopt the principles of a circular economy and promote conservation and rejuvenation of surface and groundwater bodies, it said.

ये उन पर एक तरह से दोहरी मार की तरह होता है।

एक तो घर से दूर, और ऊपर से ऐसी स्थिति में रहना।

इस हालात को बदलने पर, इस असमानता को दूर करने पर बाबा साहेब का बड़ा जोर था।

स्वच्छ भारत मिशन और मिशन अमृत का अगला चरण, बाबा साहेब के सपनों को पूरा करने की दिशा में भी एक अहम कदम है: PM

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) October 1, 2021

The mission will promote data-led governance in water management and technology sub-mission to leverage the latest global technologies and skills, it said.

The outlay of AMRUT 2.0 is around Rs 2.87 lakh crore, the PMO statement said.

मैं इस बात से बहुत खुश होता हूं कि स्वच्छता अभियान को मजबूती देने का बीड़ा हमारी आज की पीढ़ी ने उठाया हुआ है।

टॉफी के रैपर अब जमीन पर नहीं फेंके जाते, बल्कि पॉकेट में रखे जाते हैं।

छोटे-छोटे बच्चे, अब बड़ों को टोकते हैं कि गंदगी मत करिए: PM @narendramodi

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) October 1, 2021

SBM-U and AMRUT have contributed significantly to improve the urban landscape during the last seven years, PMO has said.

The two flagship missions have augmented the capacity to deliver basic services of water supply and sanitation to the citizens,it said.

हमें ये याद रखना है कि स्वच्छता, एक दिन का, एक पखवाड़े का, एक साल का या कुछ लोगों का ही काम है, ऐसा नहीं है।

स्वच्छता हर किसी का, हर दिन, हर पखवाड़े, हर साल, पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी चलने वाला महाअभियान है।

स्वच्छता जीवनशैली है, स्वच्छता जीवन मंत्र है: PM @narendramodi

— PMO India (@PMOIndia) October 1, 2021

”Swachhta” has become a jan andolan today, all urban local bodies have been declared open defecation free and 70 per cent solid waste is being scientifically processed now, the PMO said.

AMRUT has been ensuring water security by adding 1.1 crore household water tap connections and 85 lakh sewer connections, thus benefiting more than four crore people.

Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of State for Housing & Urban Affairs Kaushal Kishore as well as ministers of urban development of several states and union territories were also present on the occasion PTI
