Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin

The Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G) is an initiative by the Indian government launched in 2014 to improve sanitation in rural areas. Its goal is to eliminate open defecation and promote the construction and use of toilets, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment. The mission encourages communities to adopt better waste management practices, raise awareness about hygiene, and access safe sanitation facilities. By doing so, it aims to reduce health problems, enhance quality of life, and support sustainable rural development. The program has significantly increased toilet coverage and contributed to improved public health outcomes in villages across India.
