Indore Again: 'Cleanest City' For 8th Time
Indore retained the ‘cleanest city’ position for the eighth time in a row in the government’s annual cleanliness survey.
Indore retained the ‘cleanest city’ position for the eighth time in a row in the government’s annual cleanliness survey. The top position was followed by Surat and Navi Mumbai. In the 3-10 lakh population category, Noida has secured the top spot as the cleanest city, with Chandigarh coming in second and Mysuru ranking third.
President Droupadi Murmu presented the Swachh Survekshan 2024–25 Awards during a national ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi today. Organised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), the event honoured cities and urban bodies for their efforts in maintaining cleanliness under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U).
Swachh Survekshan is the world's largest urban cleanliness survey, assessing cities on parameters such as waste management, sanitation infrastructure, and citizen participation.
Indore's feat is attributed to a series of innovative measures and active civic engagement. The city has enforced strict waste segregation, promoted an incremental garbage reduction policy, and fostered a culture of cleanliness among its residents. From vigilant citizens and rickshaw drivers to street hawkers and businesses, Indore's collective commitment to staying litter-free continues to set a benchmark for other cities.
