myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.
What this is

In detail
Launched in 2014, the scheme "Swachh Bharat Mission – Grameen (Phase I)" by the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, aims to eliminate open defecation in rural India through behavioral change and construction of household and community toilets.

Who qualifies
- The applicant should be from a rural household that lacked a toilet before the scheme.
- The applicant should belong to poor, underprivileged, or marginalized sections.

Why this is here and not above
myScheme publishes no budget figure for any scheme. This one comes from the Union
Budget Expenditure Profile and is joined by name, so it is shown apart from the
checks and never counted in them. A scheme’s launch date, likewise, exists in
its gazette notification whether or not the portal repeats it. The checks
above ask only whether this portal tells a citizen, which is a different
and narrower question.
