Indore and Depalpur Recognized for Sanitation Improvements Under Swachh City Pair Initiative
Indore and Depalpur have been nationally recognized for their sanitation improvements under the Swachh City Pair initiative, securing second place. Depalpur, once ranked low in cleanliness, transformed its waste management with Indore's mentorship, including door-to-door collection, waste segregation, and scientific disposal of 1,250 tons of legacy garbage. The initiative introduced thousands of dustbins, waste processing facilities, and organic fertiliser production, significantly improving local sanitation and setting an example for other towns.
