Q2) Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions
that follow by choosingthe correct answer: (5x1=5)
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Swachh Bharat Mission on 2nd October,
2014, by wielding a broom on the streets of Delhi. The program, which has
Mahatma Gandhi's iconic spectacles as its logo, is one of the most hyped
schemes of the Modi Government. Its primary goal is to make India open
defecation-free by 2019.
As of 1st February, 2019, the Modi Government claimed that 5.5 lakh villages
and 28 of India's 36 States and Union Territories had become open defecation
free. But independent surveys show a mixed picture.
The Research Institute for Compassionate Economics surveyed 3,235 households
in four states in North India in 2014 and 2018. It found open defecation had
reduced by 26% in the four years since Swachh Bharat was launched. But access

to toilets does not mean open defecation has ended. The RICE survey found
23% of people who own a toilet continue to defecate in the open, including
people in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, which have been declared open
defecation-free states.
To achieve its goals under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the government outlined
a three-prolonged strategy: using social messaging, education and
communication to trigger behaviour change, providing subsidies to vulnerable
social groups to help them construct latrines at home and verifying and
monitoring the continued use of these latrines through surveys and social audits.
The Mission's objectives also include creating sustainable sold and liquid waste
management systems, promoting social inclusion by improving sanitation for
women and marginalised communities and eradicating manual scavenging.
In the four years since it was rolled out, the Mission has focussed almost entirely
on toilet construction and ownership.
In the urban component of Swachh Bharat, toilet construction was meant to take
up 33%of thebudgetary allocation, while 30% was allocated towards improving
solid waste management.However, in the past four years, the Centre has
sanctioned 51% of its share of the urban budget towards toilet construction and
only 38% towards solid waste management.

India generates over 1,50,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day. Only 83%
of waste is collected and less than 30% is treated. As noted above, the
government has chosen to prioritise toilet construction at the cost of waste
management services. Even though the budget for waste management has
increased over the years at least 23 Stat Union Territories were yet to receive
that year's funds for it.
