India’s Cleanest Cities
Alright, let’s get straight to it—Indore has done it again. Eighth year in a row. Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 just dropped its results, and honestly, if you’re betting against Indore at this point, you might as well be betting on a snail to win the Grand Prix. The city’s basically become the Michael Phelps of cleanliness awards.
So, what’s Indore’s secret sauce? It’s not just about running around with a broom for photo . The folks there have actually made cleanliness a whole lifestyle. We’re talking about proper waste management, legit door-to-door garbage pickup, people actually sorting their trash (imagine that!) and campaigns that make you feel low-key guilty if you even think about littering. The city’s leaders? They’ve somehow convinced everyone that keeping things clean is cooler than cricket.
At the swanky award ceremony in Delhi, President Draupadi Murmu gave Indore a big shoutout—basically calling them the poster child for what happens when the government and regular people actually work together. Who knew that was possible, right?
And hey, let’s not forget the runners-up in this cleanliness marathon. Surat and Navi Mumbai are hustling hard, too—both making waves with smart waste tech and that “let’s make our city look less like a dump” attitude. For the mid-sized cities, Noida snagged the top spot, with Chandigarh and Mysore also flexing their clean city muscles.
Look, if you think Swachh Survekshan is just another snooze-worthy ranking, nah, it’s way juicier than that. Picture the Oscars, but for cities—minus the glitzy gowns, plus sparkling sidewalks and, thankfully, a whole lot fewer sketchy rodents scurrying around.

Picture the Oscars, but for cities—minus the glitzy gowns, plus sparkling sidewalks and, thankfully, a whole lot fewer sketchy rodents scurrying around. It actually gets people to care, pushes cities to step up their game, and makes local leaders sweat a little.
Indore’s back-to-back wins basically scream: “This isn’t a one-time makeover, folks—it’s an everyday thing.” Cleanliness is like that gym membership you actually use; you gotta keep showing up.
Like, maybe don’t annihilate the public restroom next time nature calls? Skip the plastic junk when you can, and for the love of all that’s decent, put your trash in the bin—not next to it, not “nearby,” but in. None of this is complicated, but it does mean you’ve gotta give a damn. And you know what? Living in a clean city isn’t just about looking nice for Instagram. It’s about feeling good, breathing easier and not dodging mystery gunk on the sidewalk every day.
So, hats off to Indore. They’re not just hoarding trophies; they’re setting the bar. The rest of us? Time to step up, not for the awards, but because nobody likes living in a landfill.
