The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has launched a drive to encourage public to provide their feedback on the state of the city as part of Swacch Survekshan 2023 the results of which are expected to be announced in September.
The MCC drive commenced sometime ago and so far over 63,000 people have provided their feedback against the target of 93,000. This is 10 percent of the city’s population of 9.3 lakh based on 2011 census and is a requisite under Swachh Surveskshan.
The MCC Health Officer Dr. D.G. Nagaraj said that the response has been good and the corporation has held extensive interactions with citizens groups, NGOs, educational institutions, etc. besides religious heads. The city’s cleanliness ranking would drop due to poor public feedback which has a score of 600 marks this year. Though Mysuru has consistently been ranked high among the cleanest cities, its overall ranking among cities with a population of over 1 lakh has dropped from 1st and the cleanest among the cities in 2016 to 15th place in 2021 while it was ranked 8th in the 2022 survey.
