- Indore, the cleanest city in India, has once again topped the Swachh Survekshan rankings, reaffirming its commitment to cleanliness and hygiene. This is the fifth consecutive year that Indore has claimed the title of the cleanest city in the country.
The Swachh Survekshan rankings are conducted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to assess the cleanliness and sanitation efforts of cities across India. The rankings take into account various parameters such as waste management, open defecation-free status, and citizen feedback.
Surat, another city known for its cleanliness initiatives, has also secured the top spot alongside Indore. This joint first position is a testament to the consistent efforts made by both cities to maintain cleanliness and provide a healthy environment for their residents.
Indore’s success can be attributed to its comprehensive waste management system, efficient garbage collection, and citizen participation in cleanliness drives. The city has implemented innovative strategies such as door-to-door waste collection, segregation of waste at source, and recycling initiatives.
Similarly, Surat has made significant progress in waste management and cleanliness. The city has implemented a decentralized waste management system, which includes waste segregation, composting, and recycling. Surat has also been successful in creating awareness among its citizens about the importance of cleanliness.
Other cities that have secured a position in the top ten cleanest cities in India include Navi Mumbai, Vadodara, Chandigarh, and Bhopal. These cities have consistently focused on improving their waste management systems and promoting cleanliness among their residents.
