Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri launched the seventh consecutive edition of Swachh Survekshan in New Delhi. It is the world’s largest urban cleanliness survey conducted by Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban. Designed with People First as its driving philosophy, Swachh Survekshan is the world’s largest urban cleanliness survey and is conducted by Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U).

Swachh Survekshan 2022 is curated towards capturing the initiatives of cities for the overall welfare and well-being of frontline sanitation workers. The survey, flavored with the Azaadi@75 spirit, will also give priority to the voices of senior citizens and young adults alike and reinforce their participation towards upholding the cleanliness of urban India.

A revamped version of the Swachhata App, the digital sanitation grievance redressal platform by MoHUA introduced in 2016 was also launched by the minister.
