Swachh Survekshan 2025-26! Ujjain Crowned India's Cleanest City In 3–10 Lakh Population Category For Second Consecutive Year

Ujjain, a city in Madhya Pradesh with a population of 3-10 million, has been named India's cleanest city for the second consecutive year in the Swachh Survekshan 2025-26. The city received the national award from President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday in Delhi. Mayor Mukesh Tatwal, speaker Kalavati Yadav, and commissioner Abhilash Mishra were presented the award.

Ujjain's top rank is a result of various waste management initiatives such as 100% door-to-door waste collection, four-category waste segregation, continuous monitoring, and converting waste into wealth. Despite its success, the city has failed in the mentorship initiative, as Unhel Nagar Parishad, which was mentored by Ujjain Municipal Corporation, has not shown improvement in cleanliness.
