About three out of the top five districts are from Telangana in the Swacch Survekshan rankings 2023 announced by the Central Government.
The districts of Jagtial, Peddapalli and Siddipet stood at ranks 3, 4 and 5 respectively with Wynad of Kerala and Mangan of Sikkim taking the top two spots in the rankings respectively.
“Despite the discrimination, the Centre has no choice but to recognise the exemplary governance of KCR which is reflected on the ground and is visible to everyone. Siddipet once again won the 5-star category in Swacch Survekshan Awards 2023. All the 499 villages are recognized as clean villages in various categories,” Health Minister Harish Rao said.
“Telangana villages are the role model in many aspects such as door-to-door garbage collection, management of dump yards, cleanliness, greenery, sanitation management, etc. Five districts in Telangana have been selected in the 5-star category. Under the visionary leadership of KCR, these awards are a shining example of initiatives like Palle Pragathi,” he added.
