Indore’s green revolution: Exploring the city’s cleanliness strategy

Most Indian cities are known for urban filth and the defiance of civic rules. In this scenario, for six years in a row, one city, Indore, has won the first position among hundreds of aspiring municipalities.

Indore was not always clean. It scaled up from the 149th position on the Clean City Index in 2014 to 25th in 2016 and finally bagged the 1st position in 2017. Since then, no one has beaten it.
