Delighted to get the awards given away to the best performing cities/ States in Swachh Mahotsav, #SwachhSurvekshan2020 Award Ceremony organised today.
Heartiest congratulations to the Swachhata Champions & citizens of the 129 winner cities/ States! ImageImageImageImage
5th edition of the world’s largest cleanliness survey was organised from 4-31 January 2020 for 4,242 cities, including 62 Cantonment Boards.
Special survey was done for 97 Ganga towns. ImageImageImage
Keeping in mind the Ministry’s efforts towards ensuring sustainability of the sanitation value chain, SS-2020 focused on waste water treatment & its reuse, along with faecal sludge treatment. Legacy waste management & remediation of landfills were also kept in focus. ImageImageImage
The survey team visited over 58,000 residential & over 20,000 commercial
areas covering over 64,000 wards – all in 28 days. This year, a whopping 1.87 crore distinct citizens shared their feedbacks in a bid to help their cities win the Swachhata crown! ImageImageImage
Social media recorded an overall reach/ impressions of over 11.2 crores! These numbers bear testimony to the ‘Jan Andolan’ that the Swachh Bharat Mission- Urban has been able to create. ImageImageImage
Under SBM-U, we have focussed on mainstreaming informal waste pickers, providing social security benefits & safety gears to all sanitation workers, welfare of sanitation workers &
their families. ImageImageImage
I congratulate all the cities/ States on winning SS-2020 Awards & becoming models for other cities/ States to climb up the ladder of #Swachhata in the coming Swachh Survekshan-2021.

My best wishes to all! ImageImageImageImage

यज्ञशिष्टाशिनः सन्तो मुच्यन्ते सर्वकिल्बिषैः । भुञ्जते ते त्वघं पापा ये पचन्त्यात्मकारणात् ।१३॥

Visited LightHouse Project site (LHP) at Perumbakkam in Chennai today. Hon’ble PM laid the foundation of this work of constructing 1,152 G+5 houses on 1 January 2021. Ms Sirke is using Precast Concrete Construction Technology from Finland to deliver this work in less than a year.
Was extremely impressed to see the progress on site. On the one hand, raft, base concrete slab etc are going for 4 towers, precast elements like roof slab, hollow columns, stairs etc are being cast in a temporary factory type of set up around 200 metres away from the site.
A Third Party expert body will be monitoring the quality.

Ms Sirke’s senior official told me that they guarantee life for 100 years & if maintained well, these houses will last for many more years. Could observe resource efficiency, speed & meticulous precision work on site.

Inspected 9 km metro section of Washermenpet to Wimco Nagar, which is ready for inauguration by Hon’ble PM tomorrow at 11 am in Chennai. This section covers very thickly populated areas of Northern Chennai.
It connects to large number of public/private huge sector industrial units & now connect them to airport, major railways & inter/ intra-city bus stations. Happy to interact with empowered transgender operators, who are fully trained to run New Washermenpet Station.
Wimconagar is themed on Swachh Bharat Mission. Happy to visit Aavin, a TN Milk Cooperative Booth & TRIFED Stall with Tribal India products as pioneer public facilities on the stations. The whole setup is is geared for tomorrow’s event.

Visited the Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) developed by Chennai Smart City today. As a brain & nervous system of the city, it is delivering many services to improve quality of life of citizens.
For example flood control & rain water monitoring on real time basis with sensors/cameras help in better preparedness & quick response to any calamity.
It is used for solid waste management.
Garbage collection vehicles are tracked, health of 210 water bodies measured, citizens' grievances managed. It is also being used as a citizen service portal. Many other applications like citizens’ safety, traffic & public transport services, water/sewer SCADA are getting added.
