Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has released the results of the fifth annual edition of nationwide cleanliness survey, Swachh Survekshan 2020. This was World’s largest cleanliness survey, which covered 4242 cities, 62 cantonment boards and 92 towns along with Ganga river, across the nation. Bounded by time, the survey was completed in the duration of 28 days. Swachh Survekshan is based on over more than five lakh documents captured along with more than twenty-four lakhs geotagged photos captured from the field. Survey witnessed the feedback of about 1.9 crores citizens, over 11 crore impressions on social media, more than 5.5 lakh sanitary workers linked to social welfare schemes and over 84,000 informal waste-pickers integrated into the mainstream. This survey was completely digitized and paperless.
Swachh Survekshan was introduced by the government with the objective of generating large scale citizen participation in the Mission, alongwith inculcating a spirit of healthy competition among cities towards becoming India’s cleanest city.
The announcement of results was made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday at the Swachh Mohotsav event organised by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).

What makes Indore the cleanest city in the country?
Indore stands clean on the top of all cleanest cities of India. Indore bagged the cleanest city title again for the fourth time in the row. Let us try to understand all the measures and efforts put in by Indore which helped it outshine the rest.
⦁ Indore’s Municipal Corporation maintains direct communication with the citizens for awareness and to build the habit of cleanliness among the masses. Corporation also includes some NGOs to enhance this task.
⦁ District administration has set up a command centre for tracking garbage collection of the city. Also, garbage collection vehicles are constantly tracked by the GPS system.
⦁ The large public dustbins have been removed and the garbage is collected from door to door.
⦁ Support of school children are taken for creating awareness about cleanliness and some are made brand ambassadors for the same.
⦁ Cleaning the roads at night rather than in the morning has helped in creating a sense of cleanliness among the public when they come for a walk in the morning.
⦁ Imposing fines on people disobeying the ecosystem is also taken in account by the Indore Administration.
Indore has set an example for the entire municipal bodies and the public to follow and sustain cleanliness in their respective cities and surroundings. The cities which ended at the bottom must look to Indore for improving their rankings in the future survey bound to held in 2021. This survey is the end result of the seriousness of both Municipal Corporations and the people. Everyone should come up and work for ensuring cleanliness in the country.
