In news

The Ministry of Jal Shakti began ‘SUJALAM’, a ‘100 days campaign’ as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations to create more and more ODF Plus villages by undertaking waste water management at village level particularly through creation of 1 million Soak-pits and also other Grey water management activities.

Details
  • The effort of campaign would be directed towards achieving the ODF plus status for villages across the country in an accelerated manner in a short time. 
  • The campaign will not only build desired infrastructure i.e. soak pit for management of greywater in villages but will also aid in sustainable management of waterbodies.
  • The disposal of waste water and clogging of water bodies in the villages or on the outskirts of the villages remain one of the major problems. 
  • Furthermore, the campaign would boost the momentum of SBMG phase II activities through community participation and it will increase awareness about ODF-plus activities.
