Indore won the title of India's cleanest city for the eighth time in a row, according to the central government's annual cleanliness survey.

President Droupadi Murmu conferred the Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 Awards at a ceremony organised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) at Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital on Thursday. 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).

Surat stood second and Navi Mumbai third in survey.  Noida emerged the cleanest city among those with a population of 3-10 lakh, followed by Chandigarh and Mysore. According to reports, 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.

The primary goal of the 'Swachh Survekshan' mission is reportedly to encourage large-scale citizen participation and create awareness among all sections of society about the importance of working together towards making towns and cities better places to live in.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently said that Indore will be honoured in the Swachh Survekshan 2024–25 Awards, securing the top spot. "This new category recognises past performance and future potential. Indore deserves this position," Yadav had said.

According to NDTV,  Swachh Survekshan covered over 4,500 cities, using a framework of 10 parameters and 54 indicators to evaluate sanitation, waste management and service delivery.
