Nagpur up 5 spots in swachh ranking after NMC's appeal

Nagpur: The city's ranking in the Swachh Bharat Survekshan improved following an appeal by the civic body. The Union ministry of housing and urban affairs has now placed Nagpur at rank 22A (out of 40), up from its earlier position of 27. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The revised ranking was confirmed on its national dashboard, with municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari sharing the update on Wednesday. Nagpur's state ranking also saw a rise — from 29 to 25A out of 414 urban local bodies in Maharashtra. The city's overall score now stands at 9,836 out of 12,500, up from the previous 9,328, additional municipal commissioner Vasumana Pant told TOI. To a query, Pant explained that since Nashik already held the 22nd rank, Nagpur has been assigned 22A to reflect its equal standing. As a result, the 27th position in the national ranking list now remains vacant, the Swachh Survekshan results website stated. The improvement followed NMC's detailed representation under the guidance of Chaudhari, pointing out discrepancies in the initial assessment. "We highlighted major mismatches in legacy data related to daily waste collection and vehicle tracking over the past three years. After verification, a fresh site visit was conducted, and our claims were accepted," said Pant. Key metrics show substantial progress. Door-to-door waste collection surged from 30% to 90%, while segregation at source improved dramatically from 1% to 60%. However, waste processing, which was earlier marked at 100%, was revised to 60% following a stricter re-evaluation. The city has now also earned one star under the Garbage-Free City (GFC) certification — a benchmark it failed to achieve earlier this year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Nagpur's score was already contentious. About 30% in door-to-door collection and 1% at source segregation were surprising. The scores in these two parameters increased to 90% and 60%, which gave us 500 in GFC certification were we had earlier scored zero," Kaustav Chatterjee, Swachhata ambassador said. The earlier ranking sparked sharp criticism from citizens and within the civic administration, where officials admitted that weak inter-departmental coordination and poor documentation hampered performance. The latest recognition reflects growing momentum in the city's cleanliness efforts. Even in Swachh Survekshan 2023, Nagpur was placed 86th among 400 cities with a population above one lakh. The NMC objected to this categorisation, insisting that Nagpur should have been evaluated in the million-plus category. Major recent initiatives include the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' campaign, Backlane Cleanliness Drive, compressed biogas facility, C&D waste plant, and biomining project at Bhandewadi. Citizen-led programs like 'One Date, One Hour', Swachh Mohalla, Clean Market initiatives, Eco Bricks, and awareness campaigns in schools have further boosted community participation. In a statement, Chaudhari said Nagpur's progress was acknowledged in a recent central govt report for its participatory initiatives. He added that NMC now aims to push for a Top 10 rank in upcoming surveys by intensifying cleanliness efforts across all zones.

'I am not Gemini with legs': Bengaluru-based Google recruiter's hilarious post about being the ‘universal helpdesk' leaves internet in splits

A Google recruiter in Bengaluru, Nancy Paul, hilariously exposed the absurd assumptions people make about her job in a viral LinkedIn post. She humorously detailed how revealing her employer transforms her into an instant tech support for everything Google, from Gmail glitches to server resets. (Image: LinkedIn/Nancy Paul) In a delightful mix of wit, sarcasm, and relatable workplace frustration, a Bengaluru-based Google recruiter has captured the internet's attention with a LinkedIn post that humorously unpacks the most bizarre assumptions people make about her job. Nancy Paul, a recruiter at Google, recently took to LinkedIn to share the unintended consequences of revealing her employer in social settings. The moment she mentions Google, she says, her role is instantly misunderstood — and drastically expanded. In her now-viral post, Paul writes:'I'm no longer just a recruiter. I become the universal helpdesk for the entire internet.'Paul outlined how conversations with acquaintances, family, or even strangers often lead to misplaced expectations — from fixing Gmail and troubleshooting YouTube, to intervening in GPay glitches or 'resetting servers' on demand. And the assumptions don't stop at tech support. Sharing a list of amusing one-liners, she describes how she's been asked if she naps in Google's sleep pods, avoids cooking thanks to free office meals, and even if she can directly call Sundar Pichai to report technical bugs. Nancy doesn't hold back when responding to these wild expectations. Her sarcastic comebacks — 'Gmail isn't loading? Only if 'fixing' means telling you to turn it off and on again,' or 'Free son? Great Uncle-ji, but this is hiring, not a raffle' — have users in splits. A standout zinger? When an aunty casually asks about her shares and CTC over chai, Paul quips:'Why stop there? Want my bank PIN too?' Despite the humour, Paul uses the post to clarify what her role actually involves. It's not 24/7 tech wizardry or recruitment on demand. She describes her job as demanding, fast-paced, and constantly evolving — one that requires curiosity, adaptability, and a thick skin to survive the chaos of tech-world myths.'Working at Google is chaotic, humbling, and inspiring, all at once,' she writes. 'It's not about knowing everything. It's about staying curious, building cool things, and having enough humor to survive the assumptions.' Nancy's relatable satire struck a chord with LinkedIn users, who flooded the comments with their own hilarious tales of mistaken job identities. 'Respect to you for surviving Google-level expectations! BTW, small request from Mama ji, he forgot his Gmail password. Can you reset it directly from Google's server?' joked one user. Another chimed in: 'When I worked in HP in the software team, I regularly got questions about why the printer was not working.' Nancy, for her part, didn't miss a beat. When one commenter teased about Google Maps acting up, she replied:'Maps saw you coming and said 'not today'.' And when someone asked if she gets to use Google Meet for free, her deadpan response was:'Yours is free. Mine's mandatory. It's basically part of my DNA now.' What started as a tongue-in-cheek LinkedIn post has turned into a relatable commentary on workplace stereotypes — especially in tech. It's a reminder of the invisible weight professionals carry when their job titles turn into shorthand for free support or unrealistic expectations.
