The Swachh Bharat Mission - Urban (SBM-U),was launched on 2nd October 2014 aimed at making urban India free from open defecation and achieving 100% scientific management of municipal solid waste in 4,041 statutory towns in the country. The second phase of SBM-U was launched on 1st October 2021, for a period of 5 years (till October 2026) The vision for SBM-U 2.0 is to achieve “Garbage Free” status for all cities by 2026 and institutionalizing ‘Swachh’ behavior amongst the citizens. SBM–U 2.0 will be implemented by MoHUA through States/ UTs in all statutory towns (as per Census 2011, and statutory towns added subsequent to that).
