New Delhi: The Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday launched the Swachh Survekshan League 2020.
"Every year, the Swachh Survekshan is redesigned innovatively, to ensure that the process becomes more and more robust, with focus on sustaining the changed behaviour," said Puri.
Expressing concern that cities cleaned themselves up just before a survey and slipped down after that. "This year we are launching the continuous Survekshan - the SS 2020 League, where cleanliness assessment will happen throughout the year," said Puri.
Swachh Survekshan 2020 is the 5th edition of the annual cleanliness survey of Urban India.
The performance of cities in SS League 2020 will be crucial to their ranking in Swachh Survekshan 2020 due to the 25 per cent weightage of the quarterly assessments to be included in the annual survey in January 2020.
Officials in the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry said that parameters pertaining to wastewater treatment and reuse and fecal sludge management have been given special focus in Swachh Survekshan League 2020.
