Social Sector & Governance Interventions

What are the key pillars and funding mechanisms of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) Phase II?

  • Core Focus: Focuses on sustaining ODF status and implementing solid and liquid waste management (SLWM) in all villages.
  • Funding Model: Financed through a mix of budgetary allocations from Central and State governments, convergence with MGNREGS, and external funding.
  • Execution Mode: Implemented by the Ministry of Jal Shakti with heavy reliance on Gram Panchayats for community-level operations.

అంతర-అంశ నమూనాలు

  • Behavioral Economics + Nudge Theory in Governance

    SBM institutionalized behavioral nudges via the 'ISM' framework, directly feeding into NITI Aayog's emphasis on behavioral economics for public policy delivery.

  • Sanitation Access + Gender & Education Outcomes

    Universal sanitation access directly drives female workforce participation and reduces school dropouts among adolescent girls in rural districts.

SBM-Grameen Phase II targets (ODF Plus) combined with decentralized waste management models will anchor governance/social sector MCQs.
