Indore has once again claimed the title of India’s cleanest city, making it the seventh time in a row. This remarkable achievement has not only boosted the city’s reputation but also led to the introduction of a new ranking category: ‘golden cities.’
The Birth of the ‘Golden Cities’ Category
With Indore maintaining its top position for seven consecutive years, the Swachh Bharat Mission has decided to acknowledge such exceptional performance by creating a ‘golden cities’ category. This category will honor cities that consistently rank high in cleanliness and sustainability, encouraging other cities to follow suit.
What Qualifies a City for the ‘Golden’ Status?
The criteria for a city to enter this elite category are yet to be finalized, but it’s expected to include factors like maintaining top cleanliness standards, efficient waste management, and innovative sustainability measures. Cities like Indore that have showcased consistent improvement in these areas may automatically qualify.
Indore: A Role Model for Indian Cities
Indore’s ability to hold onto the clean city crown is no small feat. The city’s robust waste management system, community involvement, and innovative cleanliness initiatives have set a benchmark for other Indian cities. Officials from various parts of the country often visit Indore to learn from its model.
Looking Ahead
The introduction of the ‘golden cities’ category is expected to add a new level of competition to the annual clean city rankings. Cities that have consistently performed well in the past will now aim to achieve the ‘golden’ status, further enhancing the Swachh Bharat Mission’s goals.
