SBM national flagship programme of the Government of India being implemented in both urban and rural areas for ensuring overall sanitation.

The objective of SBM is to improve the levels of cleanliness and thereby improve the quality of life and public health in rural and urban areas of the country.

An ODF Plus village is defined as a village which sustains its ODF status and ensures either solid waste management, liquid waste management. Currently, around 80 per cent of India's villages are ODF Plus.

On the other hand, an ODF Plus Model Village sustains its ODF status; has arrangements for both solid waste management and liquid waste management; observes visual cleanliness, that is, has minimal litter, minimal stagnant wastewater and no plastic waste dump in public places; and displays information, education and communication (IEC) message related to ODF Plus prominently. Thus, it ensures regular use of toilets, no open defecation or visible faces in the environment, management of biodegradable and non – biodegradable waste, greywater management (GWM) and faecal sludge management (FSM).
