NMC scores 86.56% in self assessment for Swachh survey

Date:

Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has given itself 1,082 point out of the maximum 1,250 on a self-assessment of the city’s cleanliness — a requirement for the forthcomining Swachh Survekshan between January 4 and January 31, 2019, said a senior official from NMC’s sanitation department.

The self-rating is based on parameters like door-to-door garbage collection, waste segregation, presence of litter bins, community and public toilets, toilet on Google maps, grievance redressal, and treatment of sewerage water. This assessment gets 25% weight in the overall survey, which is carried out by the centre.

The marks given by NMC are based on its own inputs. The final scores in Swachh Survekshan 2019 will not have a direct relation to these marks.

In 2018, though not satisfactory, Nagpu city managed to rise up to 55th rank, up from 137 in 2017 Swachh Survekshan.

A NMC official said preparations are on in full swing as the survey is set to be held next month. “The survey this year will carry a total of 5000 marks as compared to 4000 marks in Swachh Survekshan 2018.”

NMC has already activated its war-room with Dr. Pradip Dasarwar as nodal officer and the team has already started chalking out marks the city may score as per its current situation, and where and what needs to be done to improve its marking.

NMC has also distributed over 3,500 GPS-based wrist watches to sanitary employees and last year this innovation had helped NMC to score more, the official said.
