520			_aCreating awareness on sustainable municipal services hold the key for making informed decisions about the allocation of resources, infrastructure development, and the delivery of services to the residents. The urban local bodies are also directly responsible for the achievement of more than two third of parameters of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The functions and services provided by municipal governments are, therefore, vital for creating healthy, livable and sustainable communities. This paper highlights various benefits of creating awareness and suggests strategies for creating such awareness for sustainable municipal services. The paper also briefly discusses some of the flagship programmes of the Government of India to promote sustainable municipal services by encouraging municipalities to adopt sustainable practices, through creating awareness among all stakeholders and promote behavior change, apart from providing financial support for sustainable development.- Reproduced
