On Wednesday, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) held a capacity-building workshop aimed at enhancing the performance of sanitation inspectors in preparation for the Swachh Survekshan 2025-26. The workshop, conducted at the MCG office, focused on familiarizing participants with the survey's parameters, procedures, and best practices to elevate Gurugram's cleanliness ranking. Additional Municipal Commissioner Ravindra Yadav emphasized that Swachh Survekshan is more than a competition; it is a vital tool for strengthening urban sanitation systems. The training included sessions on field photography, site inspections, and effective handling of citizen feedback, which is crucial for accurate reporting and ranking. Gurugram's ranking improved significantly from 140th in 2023-24 to 41st in 2024-25, although it still falls short of its peak position of 19th in 2022. Joint Commissioner Dr. Preetpal Singh highlighted the need for accountability and community involvement to ensure sustainable cleanliness, urging officials to adhere to survey guidelines and actively engage citizens for feedback.
