Regarding SSG 2025, he instructed the strengthening of documentation and evidence uploading for digital verification, ensuring assets are accurately mapped and reported as per national standards.

Outlining contours of SBM-G 3.0, the Secretary urged adoption of cluster-based waste management innovative technologies like waste-to-energy and biochar, and PPP models for plastic recycling. He highlighted the need for sustainable funding mechanisms and resilient systems suited to J&K’s terrain and climate.

He reiterated the importance of convergence with MGNREGA, along with technology-driven monitoring and improved implementation, to make rural sanitation sustainable, equitable, and future-ready.
