Sujalam Campaign
Subject – Governance
Concept –
- SUJALAM Campaign is a 100 days campaign launched as a part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations.
- This campaign seeks to create more ODF Plus villages by undertaking waste water management across villages in India.
- During the campaign, ten lakh Soak-pits will be created.
- The Jal Shakti Ministry has launched a campaign to create a million soak pits in villages across the country over the next 100 days, to help manage grey water and prevent the clogging of waterbodies.
- The Swachh Bharat Mission’s first phase was to achieve open defecation free (ODF) status by constructing a toilet in every rural household and persuading all villagers to use it.
- The second phase, termed ODF+, aims to sustain and extend these sanitation gains by focusing on solid and liquid waste management.
- Second phase has required a more nuanced approach.
- A dashboard would be made public within the next two weeks to enable proper monitoring of ODF+ work.
