Indore: The Cleanest City in India Setting an Example in Urban Cleanliness

Indore, Madhya Pradesh, continues to hold its title as the cleanest city in India, leading the Swachh Survekshan rankings for several years. The city’s transformation stems from a combination of strict waste management policies, citizen participation, and technological innovation. With 100% door-to-door waste collection, segregation at source, and efficient recycling systems, Indore has set a national benchmark for urban sanitation. Public toilets are well-maintained, and awareness campaigns have fostered a strong culture of cleanliness among residents. The local government’s collaboration with NGOs and startups ensures real-time monitoring and swift grievance redressal. Indore’s success is a testament to what is achievable when communities, authorities, and technology work hand-in-hand.
