Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar too achieved over 90% ODF+ status
- Press Trust of India

NEW DELHI: Over 90% of villages in Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have achieved Open Defecation Free (ODF) Plus status, the Jal Shakti ministry said on Tuesday.

Open Defecation Free (ODF) Plus is an advanced sanitation benchmark under the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), aimed at sustaining and enhancing the outcomes of ODF status. While the ODF status is achieved when a community eliminates open defecation practices, ODF Plus goes a step further by focusing on the sustainability of this status and integrating broader sanitation and waste management objectives.

Punjab and Uttar Pradesh have reported 98% ODF Plus status, while Madhya Pradesh leads with 99% of villages meeting the ODF Plus criteria, including 95% achieving the advanced ODF Plus Model status. Bihar, although slightly behind, has reached 92% ODF Plus coverage.
