Rewa in Madhya Pradesh has been named the cleanest riverfront town in India under the latest Swachh Awards, according to Dainik Jagran.
Rewa, a town in Madhya Pradesh, has been awarded the title of India’s cleanest riverfront town as part of the recent Swachh Awards, reported by Dainik Jagran MP CG. The recognition places Rewa at the forefront of urban cleanliness initiatives across the country.
The award evaluates towns on parameters such as solid‑waste management, sanitation infrastructure, community participation and the aesthetic upkeep of riverfront areas. Rewa’s performance across these criteria earned it the top spot among all riverfront towns evaluated.
Local authorities attribute the achievement to sustained efforts in waste segregation, regular riverbank cleaning drives and public awareness campaigns that encourage residents to keep the waterfront tidy. The municipal body has also upgraded drainage systems and installed additional waste collection points along the river.
Officials say the accolade will reinforce ongoing projects aimed at preserving the town’s natural heritage while promoting tourism. Continued monitoring and citizen involvement are expected to maintain the high standards that secured the award.
The recognition underscores Rewa’s commitment to the Swachh Bharat mission and serves as a model for other towns seeking to improve their riverfront environments.
