Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen Statistics 2026: Toilets, ODF Plus Villages and Funds

What the numbers show

Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen has two phases with very different numbers. Phase I, from 2014 to 2019, was about building toilets. More than 10 crore household toilets were built in that period, and rural sanitation coverage rose from 39% in 2014 to 100% in 2019, according to a Lok Sabha answer released by PIB in March 2025. By September 2026, the count of household toilets built since 2014 stood at 12.22 crore, says the PIB note on Swachhata Hi Seva 2026.

Phase II, from 2020-21, is about what happens after the toilet: solid and liquid waste management and visible cleanliness. Its progress is measured in ODF Plus villages. By 17 September 2026, over 5.69 lakh villages were ODF Plus and more than 5.25 lakh had reached the final Model level.

The trend over the years

Central releases follow the two phases. They climbed every year to a peak of Rs 21,629.79 crore in 2018-19, the year before the ODF deadline, then fell to between Rs 3,000 crore and Rs 7,000 crore a year in Phase II. The Model village count has risen steadily, from 4.45 lakh in March 2025 to 5.25 lakh in September 2026. The gains are slowing as the remaining villages are the harder ones.

State differences

Large States such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand had more than 97% of their villages at Model level in February 2026. At the other end, Manipur had just 26 Model villages out of 2,567, and Meghalaya, Punjab, Arunachal Pradesh and Jharkhand were all below 30%. Karnataka, a large State, was at 47.3%.

What the figures do not tell you

ODF Plus status is self-declared by the Gram Sabha. Only Model villages need third-party verification, and in December 2025 PIB reported 4.90 lakh declared Model villages but only 4.16 lakh verified ones. A toilet being built also does not mean it is in use. The toilet counts are reported by States, not counted independently.

Where to check the live numbers

The SBM(G) dashboard at sbm.gov.in shows village, block and district progress, updated by States on the IMIS. PIB publishes State-wise tables whenever a Parliament question is answered, usually in each session.
