Indore has been adjudged India's cleanest city for the third straight year in the central government's cleanliness survey, announced on March 6, 2019.

The second and third positions in the category were grabbed by Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh and Mysore in Karnataka.

The Swachh Survekshan awards-2019 were conferred by President Ram Nath Kovind at a ceremony in New Delhi.

While the New Delhi Municipal Council area was given the 'Cleanest Small City' award, Uttarakhand's Gauchar was adjudged the 'Best Ganga Town' in the central government survey.

Union Housing Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, "My heartiest congratulations to the Swachhagrahis of Indore for their unmatched dedication and participation in transforming Swachh Bharat into a Jan Andolan.”

Top-awardees received a statue of Mahatma Gandhi as a memento for their work towards cleanliness.

The programme covered all urban local bodies in the country, making it the largest such cleanliness survey in the world.
