President Droupadi Murmu to confer the 10th Swachh Survekshan 2025-26 awards

This significant event, being held at the Central Secretariat in India’s capital, Delhi, is set to write a new chapter in the history of the country’s cleanliness campaign. President Droupadi Murmu will honor the winners of the 10th Swachh Survekshan 2025-26. This awards ceremony will not only be a moment of pride for the winning cities but will also send a message to the entire nation that cleanliness is not merely a one-day activity but a lifestyle and an institutional process.

The Swachh Survekshan, organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, will once again foster a competitive environment among municipal corporations, municipal councils, and district administrations across the country. The primary objective of this survey is to promote solid waste management, sewage treatment systems, the availability of public toilets, and cleanliness awareness in urban areas. The 2025-26 edition places special emphasis on aspects that directly impact public health.

The conferral of awards by President Droupadi Murmu will lend national significance to the program. As in previous years, winners in categories such as the Cleanest City, Best Cleanliness Worker, and other special categories will be honored. This recognition is not just a symbol of victory but a fair valuation of the hard work of millions of employees and citizens who have contributed to managing the waste crisis and keeping cities clean.

Experts believe that the results of the 10th Swachh Survekshan will provide a new direction to the country’s urban planning. The award will further encourage the efforts of administrations in areas where improvements have been recorded in recent years. Additionally, areas still facing challenges will have the opportunity to study the best practices of winning cities to improve their adopted strategies.

The program is expected to be attended not only by central government officials but also by Chief Ministers, Governors, and local leaders from various states. It serves as a platform where discussions on cleanliness transcend political party lines for the greater public good. The efforts made under the Swachh Bharat Mission will be reviewed in greater depth through this event. Ultimately, the honor bestowed by President Droupadi Murmu is expected to deepen the public’s sentiment towards cleanliness across the country, thereby intensifying efforts to achieve the goal of making all cities clean by 2030.
