Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen - Waste Management) - Uttarakhand

For the relevant work, a proposal is received from the concerned Gram Panchayat by the district-level unit, which is then approved or rejected at the unit level after examining it against the standards set by the Government of India.

2. For liquid waste management works: In villages with a population up to 5,000 – ₹280 per person; in villages with a population above 5,000 – ₹660 per person. A minimum of ₹1 lakh per village is required for these activities.

4. Plastic waste management: ₹16 lakh per development block.
5. Biogas plant: ₹50 lakh (for one model unit per district).
