NEW DELHI, JULY 16, 2025: PRESIDENT of India, Droupadi Murmu, will confer the prestigious Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 Awards at a national ceremony organized by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on 17 July, 2025, in the presence of Union Minister, Manohar Lal and the MoS, MoHUA, Tokhan Sahu.

Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 marks the 9th edition of the world's largest urban cleanliness survey. This landmark event will unveil the cleanest cities of urban India, recognizing the tireless efforts of cities driving the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U) forward. The This year, the prestigious awards will be presented across 4 categories - a) Super Swachh League Cities b) Top 3 clean cities in 5 population categories c) Special Category: Ganga Towns, Cantonment Boards, Safai Mitra Suraksha, Mahakumbh d) State Level Awards - Promising clean city of State/UT. A total of 78 Awards will be presented this year.

Swachh Survekshan (SS), a landmark initiative under the SBM-U, has become a defining force in urban India's journey toward cleanliness-capturing hearts, shaping mindsets, and inspiring action for the past nine years. Starting with 73 ULBs in 2016, the latest edition now encompasses 4,500+ cities. This year, the awards not only celebrate the top Swachh Shehar but also recognize and encourage small cities showing strong promise and progress

SS 2024-25 awards spotlight the theme of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Over 3,000 assessors conducted thorough inspections in every ward across the country over a period of 45 days. With an unwavering commitment to inclusivity and transparency, the initiative encompassed the assessment of over 11 lakh households - reflecting a comprehensive and far-reaching approach to understanding urban living and sanitation on a national scale.

The Assessment conducted in the year 2024 marked a landmark moment in public engagement, successfully reaching and involving a 14 crore citizens who participated through face-to-face interactions, the Swachhata App, MyGov, and social media platforms.

Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 adopted a smart, structured approach to assess urban cleanliness and service delivery, using 10 well-defined parameters with 54 indicators-offering a complete view of sanitation and waste management in cities.

SS 2024-25 unfolds a very special league, Super Swachh League (SSL) - a separate league of cities excelling in cleanliness. The introduction of the SSL serves a dual purpose: it inspires top-performing cities to reach even higher standards of cleanliness, while also motivating other cities to improve their performance and compete for top rankings. The SSL features cities that have ranked in the top three at least once in the last three years and remain in the top 20% of their respective population category in the current year.

For the first time ever, cities have been classified into five population-based categories: (1) Very Small Cities: < 20,000 population, (2) Small Cities: 20,000 - 50,000 population, (3) Medium Cities: 50,000 - 3 Lakh population, (4) Big Cities: 3 - 10 Lakh population and (5) Million-Plus Cities: > 10 Lakh population . Each category has been evaluated using parameters specifically tailored to its size and unique needs. Cleanest cities have been recognized and will be awarded within each category. This approach ensures that even smaller cities have the opportunity to shine and compete on a level playing field with the usual frontrunners.
