Swachh Bharat Abhiyan flagged in 2014 is a significant program of the Modi Government aiming for a cleaner and more welcoming India. SBA aims to attain cleanliness, hygiene, and improvement in rural areas’ general quality of life. Solid and Liquid waste management is the key component of this Abhiyan. Urbanization creates its by-product in the form of Solid Waste and it affects biodiversity. Improper disposal of Solid Waste affects both the land and the people living on it. This paper focuses on the initiatives of various sectors involved in waste management for the well-being of biodiversity. This paper is based on secondary research. The paper highlights the action taken by the government, NGOs, Corporates, and local bodies for Solid Waste Management. Published reports related to waste management by government agencies, consultants, and other key agencies involved in the process. The paper reviews the reports to find suggestions to improve the current situation and suggest future strategies to reduce solid waste. This paper can help decision-makers, City Planners, Municipal Corporations, Corporates, and researchers to create a more efficient plan for Solid Waste Management. With SBA there is a paradigm shift in SWM. This study reviews the status quo and sustainability of the activities carried out under SBA and suggests several areas for improving the program within the SBA for effective SWM in India. The paper review is an umbrella review covering reviews on SWM and SBA to explore the current situation and the gaps still left.
