Mysore India's Cleanest City, Bangaluru Cleanest Capital, Filthy Delhi In Bottom 100 #SwachhBharat ranking
Indiatimes
August 9, 2015
The Swachh Bharat rankings released by the Union Urban Development Ministry have changed just how you looked at a lot of Indian cities.
Delhi's downward spiral continues
You love Delhi for it's forest cover - but the rankings found that things beyond the beautiful tree-lined streets, manicured round-abouts of Lutyen's Delhi, things are filthy, very filthy. While the New Delhi Municipal Area (essentially central Lutyen's Delhi) was 16th cleanest municipality on the list, immediately outside the circle of power things were starkly different. The rest of Delhi ranked 379th on a list of 476 cities. Even the pride of Delhi - the elite Lutyen's zone could only manage a 16th rank.
Mysore is the new hero
The city of Tipu Sultan and home of the world-famous Dusshera celebrations leads the list of clean cities with minimal open defecation and extensive adoption of solid waste management practices.
Bengaluru - The cleanest capital in India
Agreed, this one is a little bit of a doozie. Bengaluru's reputation of un-ending traffic jams, overall chaos and IT dominates the conversation in a city with arguably the best weather in India. Bengaluru has emerged as the cleanest capital in India making it a one-two for Karnataka. Karnataka has done exceptionally well with another three cities making it to the list of top 10. West Bengal has also done well with 25 cities and towns from the state finding place in the top 100 cities.
South has taken the cleanliness challenge a lot more seriously than the North
Yup. Southern cities seem to have done better than other parts with 39 of them finding place in the top 100, followed by 27 from the eastern part, 15 from the western, 12 from the northern India. Seven cities from Northeastern states have also made to the list.
Delhi Vs Mumbai
The city of chaos, traffic jams and the sea Mumbai has beaten Delhi the city of wide-open roads. Greater Mumbai actually stands way above the capital, 147th in the list (Delhi is 379th), and Navi Mumbai ranks an impressive No 3.
Chandigarh which was the cleanest city on the rankings in 2014 has now slipped to rank 21.
Cleanest 10
1. Mysore
2. Thiruchirapalli (Tamil Nadu)
3. Navi Mumbai
4. Kochi (Kerala)
5. Hassan (Karnataka)

1. Damoh (MP)
2. Bhind (MP)
3. Palwal (Haryana)
4. Bhiwani (Haryana)

6. Bulandshahar (UP)
7. Neemuch (MP)
8. Rewari (Haryana)

How the ranking is decided
The ranking used three methodologies - primary data from the municipal bodies, field inspection and ground interaction with people. The survey also assessed the status of disposal of sewage from septik tanks, waste water treatment, drinking water quality, surface quality of water bodies, and mortality due to water-borne diseases.
