Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has released the revised protocol of rating garbage-free cities titled <\/span>\u2018Azadi@75 Star Rating Protocol of Garbage Free Cities- Toolkit 2022′<\/span><\/p>\n The Star Rating Protocol was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Aim: <\/b>To institutionalize a mechanism for cities to achieve Garbage Free status, and to motivate cities to achieve higher degrees of cleanliness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Under this protocol, Cities are required to carry out self-assessment and self-verification for achieving 1-star, 3-star, 5-star and 7-star garbage-free ratings. <\/span>It also ensures the <\/span>involvement of citizen groups<\/b> for a transparent system of self-declaration.<\/span><\/p>\n Further, the self-declaration is further verified through an <\/span>independent third party agency appointed<\/b> by MoHUA.<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly<\/b>, the Star Rating Protocol of Garbage Free Cities has been aligned with the priorities of the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban(SBM) 2.0<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Note:<\/b> \u200b\u200bUnder SBM-U 2.0, a key objective is to make every urban local body at least 3-star Garbage Free, as per the Star Rating protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n Secondly<\/b>, the earlier 25 components\/indicators for star rating have now been reduced to 24, of which only 16 indicators are mandatory for 1-star and 3-star levels. The remaining eight indicators are aspirational in nature and will be relevant for 5-star and 7-star aspirants.<\/span><\/p>\n Thirdly<\/b>, higher weightage has been allotted to the door-to-door collection of garbage, source segregation, waste processing and dumpsite remediation.<\/span><\/p>\n Fourthly<\/b>, new components pertaining to IEC, capacity building, revenue from the sale of waste by-products have been added to encourage cities to build an ecosystem to strengthen the waste management system<\/span><\/p>\n Fifthly,<\/b> after seeing the impact star rating certification has made to improve on-ground waste management scenarios of the cities, the release of funds has been made conditional, subject to an urban local body (ULB) achieving at least 1-star certification.<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, <\/b>the entire process of applying for certification and subsequent assessment has been simplified and made completely digital, paperless.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>This post is based on the article \u2018<\/b>MoHUA launches roadmap to make Urban India \u2018Garbage Free<\/b>\u2019 <\/b>published in PIB on 25th Dec 2021.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
