Mahindra pats ex-LMC boss for swachh Lucknow
Lucknow: Chairman of the Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra acknowledged the efforts of former municipal commissioner Inderjit Singh for significantly improving Lucknow's performance in Swachh Bharat rankings. Mahindra posted on X, recognising Singh's efforts. He wrote, "The city of Lucknow has always had a formidable reputation for its culture and cuisine. However, cleanliness was never part of its claim to fame. Concerns included lack of dustbins, public spitting and scattering of waste during festivals. I have a special place in my heart for the city since it is where my mother grew up and became a teacher at IT College before moving to Mumbai. So, to hear about Lucknow becoming the third-ranked city in the Swachh Survekshan came as a very pleasant surprise, to put it mildly! He further wrote: "Behind this transformation is IAS Indrajeet Singh, whose efforts are described in the video. It proves that when your purpose is clear and you have a sense of mission, no bureaucracy is insurmountable, no change is impossible, including of mindsets. For being an agent of transformational change, Indrajeet Singh is my #MondayMotivation."
