Last month, SBM-U 2.0 launched the flagship newsletter Swachh Vaarta. This bi-monthly newsletter envisages keeping all citizens updated on the activities and events undertaken by the Swacch Bharat Mission. It aims to showcase the journey of garbage-free cities.
The Women’s Special Edition launched virtually last week, focuses on efforts by women in sanitation along with highlights from the Swachhotsav Campaign.
Highlighting the SBM-U initiatives, the second edition of Swachh Vaarta captures the Million Plus City Initiative. Under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0, the bio-methanation plants linked to the GOBARdhan and SATAT schemes will produce Bio-CNG as renewable energy. Keeping in line with this vision, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with EIL on February 1, 2023, to develop Waste to Energy and bio-methanation projects in cities with a population of million plus.
