1.-*Indore Success Model* The success of Indore in achieving top rankings in Swachh Survekshan has been promoted as a model for other cities. The MoHUA organized exposure visits for officials from underperforming cities to learn from Indore's best practices in waste management and sanitation.
2.-*Penalties in Uttar Pradesh* Several cities in Uttar Pradesh faced financial penalties for failing to meet SBM targets. The penalties were accompanied by detailed guidelines for corrective actions and follow-up audits to ensure compliance.
3.-*Capacities Building in Bihar* In response to non-compliance issues, the MoHUA conducted extensive training programs for municipal officials in Bihar. These programs focused on enhancing their capabilities in waste segregation, composting, and public awareness campaigns.
1.*Issuance of Notice and Warning- Municipal bodies and urban local bodies (ULBs) that fail to meet SBM targets receive formal notices and warnings. These documents highlight the specific areas of non-compliance and set deadlines for corrective actions.
2.*Performance Audits:* - The MoHUA conducts regular performance audits to assess the progress and implementation of SBM projects. Cities and towns that lag in performance are identified, and detailed audit reports are generated to pinpoint areas needing improvement.
3.*Financial Penalties:* - In cases of severe non-compliance, the MoHUA has imposed financial penalties on underperforming ULBs. These penalties are designed to enforce accountability and encourage municipalities to adhere to SBM guidelines.
4.*Reduction or Withdrawal of Funding:* - Continued non-compliance can result in the reduction or withdrawal of central funding for SBM projects. This measure serves as a strong incentive for ULBs to comply with the mission's requirements and maintain high standards of sanitation and waste management.

These programs aim to enhance their skills and knowledge in waste management practices, ensuring better implementation of SBM projects.

Poor performance in these rankings serves as a public accountability measure, prompting local bodies to improve their sanitation efforts.
