Both statements are correct. SBM-U 2.0 was launched on 1 October 2021, while the Union Cabinet approved continuation of the urban mission on 12 October 2021 for 2021-22 through 2025-26. The launch and approval dates are therefore distinct.

A ₹1,41,600 crore

The finalized outlay of SBM-U 2.0 for 2021-22 to 2025-26 is ₹1,41,600 crore, including a central share of ₹36,465 crore. The ₹62,009 crore figure belongs to Phase I, while ₹1,25,430 crore is only the project-fund component.

Q4Which one of the following correctly describes the used-water management component of SBM-U 2.0?

A It is limited to cities above 10 lakh population already covered by AMRUT sewerage.

B It covers cities below 1 lakh population outside AMRUT sewerage and includes grey water, black water and faecal sludge.

C It finances only storm-water drains and excludes sewage and faecal-sludge treatment.

D It applies only to rural gram panchayats and is implemented under SBM-Gramin.

Explanation

Used-water management is a new SBM-U 2.0 component for cities with population below 1 lakh that are outside AMRUT sewerage coverage. It addresses grey water, black water and faecal sludge through collection, treatment and associated infrastructure.

Q5Match the SBM-U certification with its defining outcome: 1. ODF+ — Functional and maintained community/public toilets 2. ODF++ — Safe containment, transport and processing of faecal sludge 3. Water+ — No untreated used water discharged into open areas or water bodies Which matching is correct?

A 1 only

B 1 and 2 only

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

All three matches are correct and show the progressive certification ladder. ODF+ focuses on functional, maintained public and community toilets; ODF++ adds safe faecal-sludge handling; Water+ further requires that untreated used water not pollute open areas or water bodies.
