The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has started gearing up for the Swachh Survekshan-2021 rankings awarded by the Swachh Bharat Mission, which will depend on scores obtained in three parts of the survey.

The Swachh Survekshan Cleanliness Survey-2021 will consist of physical inspection, service-level progress as presented by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), citizens’ feedback and garbage-free city certification. The MCC has urged the citizens to give positive feedback and help the Corporation obtain a better rank. Instructions have been issued to officials to spread awareness among the public about the questions.

Addressing a meeting on Swachh Survekshan-2021, MCC Commissioner Gurudatta Hegde said that this year’s survey has already begun and will be done for three months instead of one month as in the earlier years. Of 6,000 marks, citizens’ feedback has 1,800 marks, which will be based on questions asked about garbage collection and plastic use. The survey for citizens’ feedback will be conducted through phone calls between Jan. 1 and Mar. 31. On-field validation will be held from Mar. 1 to 28.

The questions will be about segregation of waste, door to door garbage collection, measures towards eradicating open defecation and urination, ban on plastic covers less than 50 microns in thickness, and awareness campaigns about cleanliness, he informed. The feedback also questions how well the city is aware of the on-going survey and the previous survey. Apart from the number of people giving feedback, the category also includes the number of active users of the Swachhata app.
