The SBM-U is an ongoing mission with many objectives yet to be achieved, by 01.10.2026. The unhygienic state of affairs in many cities is being addressed under the mission.  Under SBM-U, the focus was on improving access to toilets.  Under SBM-U 2.0, the additional focus is on ensuring functionality and maintenance of community/public toilets.  A new category of toilets termed as Aspirational toilets is proposed to be constructed at historic/ tourist places with high footfalls under SBM-U 2.0.  A new component on UWM has also been included under the ongoing phase of the Mission for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) with less than one lakh population.  Under this component, Central assistance is provided for mechanized desludging equipment, sewage/septage treatment facilities and interception and diversion of drains. In addition, Certification Protocols for Open Defecation Free (ODF), ODF+, ODF++ and Water+ have been designed for third party verification of every city every year on its ODF status. Also, under the annual Swachh Survekshan survey conducted across the country, access to clean and user-friendly community/public toilets is one of the performance indicators.  The one-stop grievance redressal platform, Swachhata App has also been made available to citizens to submit any complaints related to cleanliness.  Recently, on the occasion of World Toilet Day, on 19th November 2022, Toilets 2.0 campaign was launched which aims to change the face of public and community toilets in urban India through collective action involving citizens and ULBs.

Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation had organised nation-wide Swachchata Hi Seva (SHS) campaign from 15th September, 2022 to 2nd October, 2022.  All the States/ UTs were requested to organise State-wide SHS campaign on visual cleanliness of villages with focus to clean up the legacy waste.  During the campaign, as reported by the States/UTs on the online Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), 14.80 lakh legacy waste sites were cleaned.  9.81 crore people participated in shramdaan on sanitation activities and 1.59 lakh Gram Panchayats passed resolution for banning use of Single Use Plastic (SUP).
