Swachh Survekshan 2024-25: Pune improves rankings, secures 8th spot nationally, second in state
Pune city has improved its ranking in the Swachh Survekshan 2023-24 by securing the eighth spot — it was ranked 10 in the previous year. The Pune city is second cleanest city in the state in the regular category after Pimpri Chinchwad as Navi Mumbai has made it to higher category of Super Swachh league — the Union government has introduced a separate category this year for cities frequently excelling in cleanliness which includes Vijayawada, Indore, Surat, and Navi Mumbai. The Pune city has been struggling to improve its Swachh ranking. It bagged the tenth place in the list of cleanest cities across the country from among all cities having a population of over one lakh for 2023. In 2022, among cities with a population of more than 10 lakh, Pune ranked ninth, but in 2023 the Swachh survey did not declare ranking in the category. 'There is a separate category of Swachh Super league introduced from this year in which the cities frequently ranking on top are included. Pune is in the regular category and has ranked eighth cleanest city out of 40 cities in the country and second out of nine in the state,' said Prithviraj B P, additional municipal commissioner of PMC. He said that one of the main reasons for Pune receiving a lower rating is due to unprocessed legacy waste at the old garbage dumping ground. According to submission of PMC, Pune city has 90 per cent of door-to-door collection of waste, 87 per cent of it segregation of waste at source, 100 percent of generated waste processing, 95 per cent of remediation of dumpsite, 100 per cent of cleanliness of residential area, 100 per cent of cleanliness of market areas, 100 per cent of cleanliness of water bodies and 100 per cent of cleanliness of public toilets. It has five-star rating in Garbage free cities (GBC) and Water Plus rating in Open Defecation Free (ODF) for 2024. Last year, the city report card of Pune released by Swachh survey showed that the city boasts 99 per cent door-to-door collection of waste, with 97 per cent waste segregated at the source and 100 per cent waste generated is processed. Also, residential areas scored 100 per cent in cleanliness, market areas 99 percent, water bodies 100 per cent, and public toilets 100 percent clean.
