Swachh Survekshan, 2021
In a laudable feat, Indore retained the tag of the cleanest urban local body (ULB) for the fifth time in a row, while the biggest show of improvement was of Noida, which jumped from 40th position in 2020 to 9th this year among ULBs with more than one lakh population, according to the government’s cleanliness survey.
In the Swachh Survekshan 2021 results announced on Saturday, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), which covers the Lutyens’ Bungalow Zone, also improved its ranking to 5th from last year’s position of 8th among ULBs. The NDMC also received the award of being the cleanest city in the category of ULBs with ‘1-10 lakh’ population.Unlike last year, the annual swachhta (cleanliness) survey did not put out a comprehensive list of ULBs under the category of ‘more than 1-lakh population’.
This year, it published ULB-wise scores, which TOI used for comparing the ranking of municipal areas under two categories like last year — ‘less than one lakh’ and ‘more than one lakh’ population. The three municipal corporations in Delhi and its Cantonment Board did not have a score to make it to list of the ‘top 100’ in the one-lakh plus category.
However, in the sub-category of 48 ULBs with more than 10 lakh population, municipal corporations of South Delhi, East Delhi and North Delhi ranked at 31, 38 and 43, respectively. President Ram Nath Kovind gave away the awards to the top-ranking cities at an event in Delhi.
