Madhya Pradesh now emerges as the cleanliness leader of the nation : MP CM Mohan Yadav

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the recognition given to Indore by President Smt. Droupadi Murmu as the cleanest city in the ‘Super Swachh League Cities’ category during the Swachh Survekshan 2024 awards is a moment of immense pride for the people of the state.

Indore has maintained its status as the country’s cleanest city for the seventh consecutive year.

In addition to Indore, other cities from Madhya Pradesh including Bhopal, Dewas, Shahganj, Jabalpur, Gwalior, Ujjain, and Budhni were honoured in different cleanliness categories, underscoring the state's emergence as a national leader in sanitation efforts.

Sending a message from the second day of his Spain visit on Thursday, CM Dr. Yadav extended his congratulations to all urban local bodies, sanitation workers, public representatives, and officials involved in achieving this milestone.

CM Dr. Yadav, expressing his delight over the achievement, said that Madhya Pradesh has once again secured the top position, as it has consistently done in the past. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, all states have had the opportunity to compete in cleanliness rankings. He noted that a special league was created for leading cities across various cleanliness categories, in which Indore earned the top spot.

Indore received the Swachh League Award in the new category for cities with populations of over 10 lakh, placing it at the top nationwide.

Holy City Ujjain Recognised as a Top Clean City in Its Category

CM Dr. Yadav shared that the holy city of Ujjain ranked first in the 3–10 lakh population category under the Swachh League Award. Similarly, Budhni was recognised as the cleanest city among towns with a population of less than 20,000. Among cities with more than 10 lakh population, Bhopal ranked second, Jabalpur fifth, and Gwalior fourteenth. In Swachh Survekshan 2024, Gwalior also received the State Award for Most Promising City in Cleanliness.

Dewas topped the category of cities with populations between 50,000 and 3 lakh. It is worth noting that the capital city Bhopal had already been recognised as the cleanest state capital in the country.
