The state-wise details of CT/PT blocks constructed  are  available  at  https://sbmurban.org/swachh-bharat-missionprogess.

(d)  :  Under  City  Solid  Waste  Action  Plan  (CSWAP)  received  from  State, projects approved for remediation of 85.43 lakh ton of legacy waste, waste to composting plants of 3064 tonnes per day (TPD), bio -methanation plants of 165 TPD, Sanitary Landfill (SLF) of 1685 TPD, Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste processing plants of 650 TPD alongwith 107 Mechanical Road sweepers  with total central share of ₹458.10 crores. As reported, processing of municipal solid waste is 85.47% i.e. out of total 6,210 ton per day  (TPD)  of  waste  generated,  5,308  TPD  waste  is  processed.  Details  of waste processing facilities including legacy waste dumpsites in State may be accessed at https://sbmurban.org/swachh-bharat-mission-progess.

(e) & (f ) : To accelerate the Mission implementation across all urban areas, MoHUA  has  been  conducting  an  annual  cleanliness  survey  -  Swachh Survekshan since the year 2016, which has over the years played a key role in  triggering  positive  competition  amongst  cities  towards  achieving  the objectives  of  the  Mission.  This  annual  survey  ranks  cities  on  various cleanliness parameters, conducted through a significantly rigorous process, has enthused cities and States/UTs to compete positively with each other to be ranked as the cleanest city/ State.

In  the  Swachh  Survekshan  2024,  a  new  premier  league  i.e.  Super Swachh League (SSL) has been introduced comprising of cities that are in the  top  3  positions  even  once  in  the  past  three  years  as  per  Swachh Survekshan.  Accordingly,  23  cities  have  found  a  place  in  the  premier  SSL which  includes  3  cities  of  Andhra  Pradesh  namely  Vijayawada,  Guntur  & Tirupati. All cities are ranked in 5 categories of population i.e. (i) million plus cities (>10L population); (ii) big cities (3L-10L population); (iii) medium cities (50000-3L  population);  (iii)  small  cities  (20000-50000  population);  (iii)  very small  cities  (<20000  population).  The  performance  of  cities  of  Andhra Pradesh can be viewed as per their population category at https://ss2024.sbmurban.org/#/home.

The results of Swachh Survekshan are shared with all the States/UTs to  analyse  the  performance  of  their  cities  and  improve  upon  the  areas  of concern. Citizen feedback under the Survekshan also guides the states/UTs to adopt appropriate strategy/solutions for improvement. In addition, regular capacity building initiatives for the stakeholders at State/ULB levels as well as  dissemination  of  success  stories/best  practices  across  the  country assists in replication/upgradation of the waste processing methods.
