Addressing the media, the Minister said, “The importance of sanitation and effective solid waste management has been brought to the forefront now due to the COVID crisis. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the present situation could have been much worse had it not been for the critical part that SBM-U has played in the last five years to ensure a high degree of cleanliness and sanitation in urban areas. Five years ago, we introduced Swachh Survekshan (SS), the annual cleanliness survey for urban India that has proven immensely successful when it comes to improving urban cleanliness through a spirit of healthy competition. However, since it is a ranking system, several of our cities, despite doing exceptionally well, were not being recognized appropriately. The Ministry, therefore, devised the Star Rating Protocol for Garbage Free Cities – a comprehensive framework similar to our examination systems where each ward in every city must achieve a certain standard across 24 different components of solid waste management (SWM) and is graded based on overall marks received”. He further added, “Our aim is to institutionalize as well as bring consistency and transparency when it comes to SWM. This certification is not only an acknowledgement of the clean status of Urban Local Bodies and strengthened SWM systems but also a mark of trust and reliability akin to universally known standards. Moreover, the performance of cities under the Star Rating Protocol is crucial as it carries significant weightage when it comes to their final assessment in Swachh Survekshan.”

Star Rating Protocol vs Swachh Survekshan
[post_ads_2]
To ensure that the Star Rating Protocol has a SMART framework, govt. has developed a 3 stage assessment process:-
- First Stage – Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) populate their progress data on the portal along with supporting documents within a particular time-frame.
- Second Stage – It involves a desktop assessment by a third-party agency selected and appointed by MoHUA.
- Third Stage – Claims of cities that clear the desktop assessment are then verified through independent field level observations.
Star Rating Protocol has been devised in a holistic manner including components such as cleanliness of drains & water bodies, plastic waste management, managing construction & demolition waste among others. These are critical to achieve garbage free cities. The main focus is on solid waste management (SWM) as it also takes care of ensuring certain minimum standards of sanitation through a set of pre-conditions defined in the framework. However, Swachh Survekshan is a broader concept and includes Star Rating Protocol as well.
The new Star Rating Protocol will consider ward-wise geo-mapping, monitoring of SWM value chain through ICT interventions like Swachh Nagar App and zone-wise rating in cities with population of 50 lakh+. Govt. vision is to ensure holistic and sustainable sanitation across urban India. It involves effective faecal sludge management through safe containment, transportation, disposal and processing along with 100% wastewater treatment in cities before discharging into water bodies and their maximum possible reuse.
The govt. also intend to achieve 100% scientific and resource efficient solid waste management (SWM) based on 3R and circular economy. The govt. is also focusing on bioremediation of all dumpsites, single use plastic free India and efficient construction and demolition waste management. This will pave the way for a “Swachh”, “Swasth”, “Shashakt” and “Sampann” AtmaNirbhar New India.
