Uday Pratap Singh, Naidunia, Indore (Swachh Survekshan). This time many major changes have been made in the Swachh Survekshan. This is the first time that negative marking has been implemented in Swachh Survekshan. Every city sends information about its cleanliness related work to the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs through monthly information system.
During the survey, if up to 50 percent deficiency is found in the work at the field level, then a maximum of 30 marks will be reduced for that city. It is noteworthy that due to tough competition in Swachh Survekshan last year, Indore and Surat jointly got number 1 position.
Negative marking will bring big changes
Surat was only 0.48 points less than Indore. In such a situation, the negative marking implemented this time in the survey will bring big changes.
