Swachh Bharat Mission completes 10 years: What Phase II looks like
As Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), the flagship cleanliness and sanitation scheme of the central government, completes 10 years, it gets ready to enter Phase II with a greater focus on rural India, using climate-resilient sanitation technical designs and services. 'As we move forward on the SBM-Grameen (rural) journey, we recognise that sanitation is not just about infrastructure, it is about dignity, equity and sustainability,' Ashok KK Meena, Secretary, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation (DDWS), Ministry of Jal Shakti, said during his address at the National Rural Sanitation Workshop organised by DDWS and UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) India on Wednesday. At the event, the government released two technical publications: Standard Operating Procedures for the Safety and Dignity of Sanitation Workers in Rural India Protocol for Developing Climate Resilient Sanitation Technical Designs and Services 'To ensure that sanitation services are not only safe and inclusive but also climate-resilient and equitable,' the government said in a statement. This event and the launch of these protocols reflect the government's commitment to leaving no one behind, while adapting to the climate challenges of our times, Meena added. Over 250,000 Gram Panchayats in India are preparing for the digital transformation of their cleanliness model through the e-GramSwaraj platform and tracking their performance using a new tool called the Panchayat Advancement Index. This indicates the increasing role of local governance in rural sanitation. Sushil Kumar Lohani, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR), led a session on 'Strengthening Panchayati Raj Institutions for Sustainable Sanitation' and highlighted that the Clean and Green Panchayat initiative empowers local bodies to lead in waste management, grey water (wastewater) reuse, and inclusive sanitation infrastructure, delivering viable outcomes to achieve sustainable development goals. Senior government officials, state mission directors, development partners and sector experts gathered to review the progress of the SBM-G and identify priorities for its next phase at the event. Karina Malczewska, Chief, WASH & CCES, UNICEF, reiterated the need to transition from safe and inclusive sanitation to one that is resilient and future-ready, aligning with the broader goals of sustainable rural development. Kamal Kishore Soan, Additional Secretary and Mission Director, Jal Jeevan Mission & SBM-G, noted that as climate risks intensify, integrating resilience into sanitation systems is no longer optional, it is essential.

Indian Man Stunned By US Neighbours' Cold Response After House Fire Incident: "They Don't Care"
An Indian man living in the US shared his shocking experience after a house in his neighbourhood caught fire. In an Instagram reel, Nitish Advitiy expressed his surprise at the neighbours' reaction, noting that none of them came out to check on the homeowner or offer any kind of assistance. According to him, the fire department responded promptly, but the neighbours' apathy was striking. This incident highlights a broader trend in American society, where neighbourliness is often viewed more in terms of etiquette rather than meaningful relationships. "In the US, neighbours don't care about each other", the video was captioned on Imstagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by नितिश अद्वितय (@nitishadvitiy) The video sparked a mixed response on social media, with some users drawing comparisons to the strong community bonds often seen in Indian neighbourhoods. Others argued that the situation in the US is better than in India in certain aspects, highlighting differing cultural norms and expectations around community involvement. One user wrote, "Cause they mind their own business." Another commented, "They know the authorities will take care of the same, no need for people to come and make reels of the same." A third said, "One big reason why many like to live in such places is because of privacy. Unlike in India, where everyone likes to poke their nose into others' lives." A fourth added, "Brother, you have gone to America, but your thinking has not changed. People have faith in government authority, that's why they are not stepping out." Research suggests nearly 75% of Americans dislike at least one neighbour, often due to issues like noise, rudeness or giving off "weird vibes". This can lead to increased stress and decreased sense of community. In fact, over 1 in 10 Americans have moved because they didn't like their neighbours, while another 27% have considered it..
