  • In order to monitor the progress of this mission, the Swachh Survekshan – an annual cleanliness survey was initiated in the year 2016 for assessing 73 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and it has now been scaled up to all 4,378 ULBs and all Cantonment Boards of India. The Swachh Survekshan has proved to be an effective monitoring and governance tool in analyzing the progress made by the cities towards cleanliness and citizen engagement.
