c. Needs assessment

As part of preparatory work, baseline data will be collected on the following key areas:

number of households without toilet facilities, number of schools without toilet facilities, community toilet requirement in public and commercial areas, number of open defecation points/localities, number of open dumping points, general littering areas, frequent flooding/stagnation areas, proportion of solid waste not processed, availability of dumping yard, availability of sewerage network, development of parks & playgrounds, improvement of burial grounds etc.

Based on the baseline data collected a gap analysis on par with the Service Level Benchmarks (SLBs) and CPHEEO guidelines will be done. The financial need assessment and its mobilization will be planned, human resource (NGOs, Communities, CSOs etc) shall be mobilized and oriented, all PPP options need to be explored along with the identification of companies for CSR

VI. Plan of action

1) Construction of individual toilets

During the padayatra period the committee shall identify number of households without toilet facility. It shall categorize houses without toilets as affordable, partly affordable, completely unaffordable and poor localities where there is no place for construction of toilets. The committee shall visit the houses where the affordability is good, the citizens should be motivated to construct a toilet within the household with their own funds. Further contributions from adopters maybe mobilized for construction of toilets for those who cannot afford construction of a toilet within the household. If there is no place for construction of toilet within a household, community toilets with long term O&M should planned.

2) Construction of toilets in Schools

The committee must visit all the government and private educational institutions and assess the requirement of toilets with special focus on girl child. As a matter of norm, there shall be one toilet for every 25 students. All the private educational institutions shall provide the toilets accordingly. In case of government schools, if there are no toilets or inadequate toilets effort shall be made to construct them either through the government funds or through private donors with in three months. Care shall also be taken to maintain the toilets with adequate water facility. This shall be reviewed in the subsequent padayatras.

3) Construction of Public/Community Toilets

In case of towns and major Panchayats , efforts shall be made to construct pay and use toilets on BOT basis duly taking into consideration the open defecation/ urination localities, making necessary arrangement for sustainable operation & maintenance.4) Septage Management

To ensure sustainability of O&M of the on-site sanitation systems (individual, community and public toilets) an integrated septage management system covering safe collection, transportation, emptying, treatment and disposal of septage would be developed, duly identifying necessary sites for safe disposal. For the off-site sanitation (conventional sewerage system), necessary sewerage treatment will be ensured by adopting appropriate affordable technologies to achieve the disposal standards for protection of the environment. 5) Solid Waste Managementa. Awareness generation

The citizens will be educated to segregate the garbage into wet and dry waste at the household level Handing over the garbage to the collecting agencies separately (door to door collection) Limiting the usage of plastic carry bags as per the permissible standards and encourage reduction of their use To avoid indiscriminate littering of garbage and debris

b. Capacity Building

The staff shall be sensitized for 100% door to door collection of solid waste and the citizens shall be educated on segregation of garbage at source into dry (inorganic) and wet waste (organic). c. Basic principles of Solid Waste Management (SWM) 5 R s

For achieving sustainable SWM, the concerned functionaries will be responsible to observe and pursue the citizens for implementing the 5 Rs principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover and Residual management) with emphasis on waste prevention approaches. Options for composting of wet waste and recovery of energy from solid waste will be adopted. For the inert wastes like construction and demolition waste, options for using them in sub-base construction, building materials etc will be adopted and only the unusable materials will be taken to the landfill. d. Enforcement

After sensitization of the citizens, penalties will also be imposed on the commercial establishments/public organisations for indiscriminate littering. e. Identification of landfill sites and establishment of waste to energy plants

The committee shall identify landfill sites and it must be ensured that every panchayat or cluster of Panchayats shall have a dumping yard. The local bodies shall maintain the dumping yards properly and take up treatment and disposal facilities. In cluster of Panchayats/Nagar Panchayats/municipalities/corporations, suitable government land shall be identified for treatment of solid waste through composting and establishment of waste energy projects as per feasibility. 6) Provision of House Service Connections Water SupplyHouse service connections will be provided to BPL households to achieve last mile connectivity in all areas where distribution network is available.

7) Cleaning of DrainsRegular cleaning of smaller drains and disposal of silt shall be ensured. In case of bigger/storm water drains, desilting needs to be done twice a year before and after monsoon (June and December)8) Cleaning Of Canals and Water Bodies

The committee will visit the canals and water bodies being polluted by mixing of drains carrying sullage mixed with sewage and plan to prevent the pollution by diversion of the sullage mixed with sewage, and arrange for appropriate treatment of the sewage. The citizens living around canals and water bodies will be educated to protect them from pollution by avoiding deposition of solid waste and entry of sewage mixed with sullage into the water bodies.

9) Development of parks and playgroundsThe existing parks will be cleaned and beautified and necessary play equipment, landscaping, walking track etc will be developed.

10) Improvement of burial grounds and cremation places

The existing burial grounds will be improved by providing compound wall, sanitation and water supply facilities and other infrastructure necessary.VII. Monitoring & Review

At the Mandal level the MPDO and at the village level the Panchayat secretary will lead the programme. At the ULB level the respective Municipal Commissioners will lead the programme. With respect to review mechanism, data management and MIS system will be put in place for online review. Weekly reviews will be conducted at the implementing agency level and fortnightly and monthly reviews at District and State Level respectively.

VIII. Accreditation

The campaign aims to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the stakeholders and key role players based on performance appraisal mechanism. Reputed organisations such as ASCI, TISS, CESS, NIUA etc will be enlisted to undertake the assessment of the action carried out and evaluate the programme. Ranking of Panchayats/ wards/municipalities/ corporations will be done at the district level and awards will be given to best performers. Similarly best performing organizations/institutions/establishments such as schools, colleges, hotels, hospital, restaurants, theatres will be identified and duly recognized for their contribution and participation in the programme

IX. Funding for the programme

The key approach is self help/shramadan/donations/voluntary/ corporate social responsibility. Government funding should be the last option. Once the resources through adoption programme are exhausted, resources of Local Bodies have to be utilized. The local bodies shall bear the resources like tri-cycles, dustbins, brooms, bleaching powder etc. Government of India Launched Swachcha Bharath Mission (SBM) as per the draft guidelines the eligible component under SBM are (i) household toilet- Rs 4000/- per toilet as an incentive, (ii) community toilet maximum 40% VGF, (iii) Public toilets- 100% private investment, and (iv) solid waste management project maximum 20% viability gap funding (VGF). The funds will be utilized for VGF for Capital works. BRS & LRS funds: The local bodies may raise funds through Building Regularisation Scheme (BRS), Layout Regularisation scheme (LRS) and the entire fund mobilized through these schemes will be permitted to use for Capital works under Smart AP programme. ***
