SunstarTV Bureau: Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U) 2.0 is one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s many among plans which today mark the start of its second phase. Speaking at a function at Dr Ambedkar, International Center in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he had inaugurated the country in 2014 to free India from open defecation.
More than 100 million toilets were built under it. Now the goal of Swachh Bharat Mission-Sahari 2.0 is to be a garbage-free city. That means making the city completely garbage-free. The second phase of the campaign calls for AMRUT 2.0 to clean up cities and provide clean water. It aims to provide clean water to every city in the country.
This 2nd phase of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 & AMRUT 2.0 is also an important step in fulfilling dreams of BR Ambedkar. It’s our privilege that today’s program has been organised at BR Ambedkar Center. He believed that urban development was pivotal to equality: PM Modi pic.twitter.com/LGpUWD311d
