THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)
(a) to (d) One of the objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U) is to get 100% scientific management of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Under SBM-U, Government provides Central Assistance (CA) up to 35% of the Project Cost as Viability Gap Funding (VGF) to the States/ Union Territory Administrations for creation of solid waste processing facilities in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).

To enhance the solid waste processing capacity to 100% and to prevent untreated waste going to landfill sites, Hon’ble Finance Minister in her Budget Speech has announced implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0, with a total financial outlay of ₹1,41,678/- crore, over a period of five years 2021-2026, addressing inter-alia, processing of municipal solid waste, management of construction and demolition waste and bio-remediation of all legacy dumpsites.
