Dewas secured the top rank in the national Swachh Survekshan for towns with 50,000 to 300,000 residents, receiving a commendation from the President of India.
Dewas, a city in Madhya Pradesh, emerged as the number‑one performer in the latest Swachh Survekshan for towns whose populations range from 50,000 to 300,000, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs announced. The survey placed Dewas ahead of all comparable cities across the country.
The city’s achievement reflects sustained municipal initiatives in solid‑waste segregation, efficient collection, and community‑driven cleanliness drives, which together lifted its overall score.
In a ceremony attended by senior officials, the President of India presented a formal commendation to Dewas’s municipal leadership, citing the town as a benchmark for mid‑size urban centres.
Local authorities said the recognition will reinforce ongoing sanitation projects and inspire further investment in green infrastructure.
