On the occasion, Prime Minister Modi also released two booklets titled ‘Advisory on Decentralized Processing of Organic Waste ‘ & ‘ Transforming Urban Landscape of India: A Book of Case Studies’. Advisory on Decentralized Processing of Organic Waste puts together several citizen and institutional initiatives in decentralised composting, varying from individual households to Resident Welfare Associations and Institutions. This Advisory will be a model for citizens and institutions to adopt such practices at their own premises and become effective partners in achieving the objectives of Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) and reduce the sanitation burden on the City governments to a large extent. Transforming Urban Landscape of India: A Book of Case Studies focusses on best practices followed by cities in the area of Solid waste management and endeavours to bring inspiring stories to people. Transforming urban landscapes of India will be a continuous series from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The series in its next edition will cover more cities to enable emulation of these good practices all over the country.

Sh. Puri said that Swachh Survekshan 2018 has seen a massive increase in both the scale and intensity of participation, with 4203 cities covered in this year’s survey, the spirit of competition witnessed across all ULBs is indicative of the cities’ positive intent to provide their citizens the best of service delivery.
