June 27, 2023: The housing and urban affairs ministry has launched the field assessment for the Swachh Survekshan 2023. Under the survey, around 3,000 assessors will start studying the performances of over 4,500 cities across 46 indicators from July 1, 2023. Curated towards processing and scientific management of waste, the survey is expected to be completed within a month. It was rolled out on May 24, 2022.
“Originally designed as a competitive monitoring tool, the survey was introduced in 2016 to help cities to achieve the goal of sustainable sanitation and waste management in a fast-track competitive manner. Swachh Survekshan has enthused cities with a healthy spirit of competitiveness to improve urban sanitation and ensure best service delivery to their citizens. It is expected to engage with a whopping 10 crore citizens during this year’s assessment, making it indisputably the world’s largest annual urban cleanliness survey,” the ministry said in a statement released on June 27.
Conducted over four quarters, the first three quarters of assessment have already been completed successfully.
Launching the fourth and final quarter of assessment of the Swachh Survekshan 2023 which is also the most rigorous as well as awaited, housing ministry secretary Manoj Joshi said: “Last seven years of Swachh Survekshan has been the highlight of the Swachh Bharat Mission, and we have to continue that this year as well. We continue to make efforts to make it easier and useful for smaller and medium size cities so that Swachh Survekshan continues to be a management tool for improvement in sanitation.”
Emphasizing on transformation of manhole to machine hole, he highlighted the importance of SafaiMitra Suraksha. Speaking on waste processing, he focused on the need to segregate at source. He added that he was optimistic that Survekshan would keep motivating cities to become better in sanitation. Swachh Survekshan 2023 indicators focus on parameters pertaining to segregated door-to-door waste collection, zero-waste events, Divyang-friendly toilets, improved plastic waste management and cleaning backlanes.
