Mysuru is India's cleanest city
Metro cities are ranked lower in cleanliness index and tourist towns also lag
Several cities from Karnataka and West Bengal have emerged at the top of the
Swachh Bharat index, with Mysuru topping the charts.Swachh Bharat is among the
most talked-about initiatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government and
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been spearheading the project.A survey of 476
cities during 2014-15 showed Mysuru on top of the charts, and three other
Karnataka cities — Hassan, Mandya and Bengaluru — figuring in the list of top
10. West Bengal did well, too, with 25 cities and towns from the state finding
place in the top 100, according the survey commissioned by the ministry of
urban development.The lowest-ranked town was Damoh (Madhya Pradesh) at 476th.
The other nine at the bottom of the list were Bhind (Madhya Pradesh), Palwal
and Bhiwani (Haryana), Chittaurgarh (Rajasthan), Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh),
Neemuch (Madhya Pradesh), Rewari (Haryana), Hindaun (Rajasthan) and Sambalpur
(Odisha).The rankings were based on the extent of open defecation and
solid-waste-management practices in cities and towns. Mysuru had the minimal
open defecation and extensive adoption of solid-waste management, a government
statement said.Among the capital cities surveyed, New Delhi Municipal Council
(NDMC) was at 16th, much behind Bengaluru at seventh, Thiruvananthapuram at
eighth and Gangtok at 10th. Other important capital cities much lower in the
index were Kolkata at 56th, Chennai at 61st, Shimla at 90th, Bhopal at 106th,
Greater Mumbai at 140th, Srinagar at 152nd, Lucknow at 220th, Hyderabad at
275th, Gandhinagar at 310th, Jaipur at 370th and Patna at 429th.Besides
Gandhinagar, other important cities in Gujarat that were not exactly among the
best performers were Surat at 63rd and Ahmedabad at 79th.Other striking facts
coming out of the rankings were that places of tourist interest, such as Shimla
(90), Darjeeling (129), Tirupati (137), Agra (145), Srinagar (152), Dehradun
(360), Ajmer (401) and Amritsar (430), were lagging on hygiene and cleanliness
benchmarks. Also, Rai Bareli, the Lok Sabha constituency of Sonia Gandhi, was
ranked 240th on the list.There also are some cities that have made it to the
list of 100 smart cities but are lagging in the Swachh Bharat rankings. These
include Lucknow, Agra, Kanpur, Allahabad, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, Jaipur
and Ajmer.On the whole, 15 of the 27 capital cities surveyed figured among the
top 100 performers, while five were ranked below 300.All 476 Class-I cities in
31 states and Union Territories, each with a population of above 100,000, were
assessed for sanitation practices covering a set of parameters, including the
extent of open defecation, solid-waste management, waste-water treatment,
drinking-water quality, surface-water quality of water bodies, and mortality
due to water-borne diseases. |
