Implementation and approach :

The following sections outline the key interventions for capacity building as envisaged by the National Framework and lay the roadmap for its effective implementation at the National, State/UT and ULB levels.
Approach for Capacity Building Capacity building is intended towards building and scaling up capacities of elected representatives, officials of the state departments and ULBs, NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs), voluntary organizations, educational institutes, etc.

The assessment will be conducted at the national scale and will holistically identify the gaps and the enumeration of functionalities essential to enhance the overall service delivery in the sectors across the Mission towards achieving sustainable outcomes for all. An agency shall be contracted by MoHUA to conduct the Human Resource assessment across State/UT Urban Development Departments and ULBs.

Recent news :

Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0, under the aegis of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), is organizing a National conclave on ‘Social Enterprises for Garbage Free Cities: Encouraging Women Entrepreneurs in Waste management’ in Raipur, in collaboration with the Government of Chhattisgarh, on 3 March 2022.
Various dignitaries, including Urban Development Minister, Chhattisgarh, Mayor of Raipur Municipal Corporation, Secretary, MoHUA, and Chief Secretary Chhattisgarh are expected to participate in the conclave. The day-long event will serve as a platform for peer learning for States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) on various centralised and decentralized waste management practices, as part of the Mission’s capacity building initiatives.
The event will also witness the release of the “National Capacity Building Framework for Garbage Free Cities” under SBM-Urban 2.0, which will help build capabilities of relevant stakeholders to strengthen the urban sanitation sector in the country.
Representatives from nearly 17 States and their ULBs, including from North Eastern States of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, Union Territories such as Jammu & Kashmir, Chandigarh and Ladakh, and major States such as Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are expected to participate in this day-long conclave, which will include a multitude of activities to engage participants.
The day is scheduled to begin early in the morning on a different note, with participants engaging in an on-ground cleanliness driveon the banks of the Mahanadi river, alongwith NCC cadets. This would be followed by a visit to the Solid Liquid Resource Management (SLRM) Centre at nearby Patan.
The segregated waste collected from households are brought to the SLRM centre where inorganic (dry/ non-bio-degradable) fractions are further sorted into various subcategories, for subsequent recycling/ processing and value recovery.
Participants will engage in ‘shramdaan’ at the SLRM centre and physically sort some of the dry waste into further fractions, to help sensitise them about the importance of such multiple sorting and segregation for ease of subsequent disposal to recover maximum value from waste.
