Indore's Cleanliness Model Drives Dewas, Ujjain to Top Rankings

Indore has long been a benchmark for cleanliness in India, with its municipal services and citizen participation setting a high standard. Following Indore’s model, the municipal corporations of Dewas and Ujjain implemented similar waste segregation, street‑cleaning schedules, and public awareness campaigns. As a result, both cities achieved the top spot in the national cleanliness rankings for their population categories, according to the latest survey. Officials attribute the success to the structured approach and community involvement seen in Indore, and plan to expand the model to other towns in Madhya Pradesh.
