NITI Aayog Chief Ministers’ sub-group is planning to take up
various models/ projects under Swachh Bharat Mission. Chandrababu Naidu,
Chairman of the sub-group, said, “We discussed various models under Swachh
Bharat Mission such as waste to energy, composting, public and community
toilets.” “In majority of the models, government cannot alone do it. We need to
develop models to involve private sector through public private partnership
(PPP) in a major way,” he added. The Chief Ministers’ sub-group had earlier toured
West Bengal, Maharastra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka to study best practices
and viable projects.
