Swachh Survekshan 2018: Congratulations Indore, You Did It Again! Here’s How Twitter Is Congratulating The Cleanest City Of India

New Delhi: The Swachh Survekshan 2018 results were released today by Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, and like last time, Madhya Pradesh’s Indore has retained its cleanest city of India title. Bhopal has been ranked second cleanest city of India, followed by Chandigarh which was ranked 11 in 2017. The rankings, which assessed 4,203 cities and towns of India, were decided after direct observation from the swachh officials, third party assessment and feedback from 38 lakh citizens. The survey, which is being cited as the world’s largest cleanliness survey by the government, was the third such survey done by the centre to evaluate the progress cities have made in achieving the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan goals. For the first time, the survey covered all cities of India and impacted more than 40 crore urban population.

Here’s how Twitter is celebrating the Swachh report card:

Vice President of India, M. Venkaiah Naidu congratulated Indore, Bhopal and Chandigarh for being top three cities in cleanliness survey. He said,

“Congratulations also to Jharkhand, Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh for emerging as top three States in Swachh Survekshan results. Keep it up ! #SwachhSurvekshan2018”

This story of @GaurMalini and her Swachh Bharat Abhiyan work in Indore has prompted several folks to ask a very pertinent question – why don't other cities learn from successes?

While institutionally it's a gap with no great formal mechanisms, a thread on what changed in Indore. https://t.co/dQhzDLZ0kK
