Correct Answer:
Option C —
Garbage Free and Water Secure
The second phase of Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U 2.0) and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT 2.0) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 1, 2021. Official announcements from the Prime Minister's Office and government sources explicitly state that these missions were designed to realize the aspiration of making all cities of India 'Garbage Free' and 'Water Secure'.
SBM-U 2.0 focuses on achieving "Garbage Free" status for all cities through solid waste management, source segregation, and related measures.
AMRUT 2.0 emphasizes universal water supply, used water management, and making cities "water secure."
This matches option C directly, as confirmed across multiple reliable sources including pmindia.gov.in and PIB releases from the time of the launch. The other options do not align with the stated objectives of these missions.
