Ludhiana, November 17
With an objective to achieve national ranking on the basis of quantitative and qualitative sanitation (Swachhta) parameters, the district administration today launched the Swachh Survekshan Grameen (SSG) 2021.
The drive was launched in the presence of Varinder Kumar Sharma, Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana, at the District Administration Complex.
Raivarinder Singh, district sanitation officer, SBM (G), explained the areas of marking under the SSG 2021 like self reporting, direct observation and citizen feedback. He also shared his experiences and best practices from the SSG 2019.
He informed that the survey would be conducted from October 25 to December 23. He further emphasised on the citizen feedback as one of the key components of the SSG 2021.
District officers were advised to prepare a meticulous media plan for the success of the SSG 2021.
Varinder Kumar Sharma said the survey would be carried out by an independent survey agency M/s Ipsos Research Pvt Ltd. Twenty nine villages would be randomly selected for the survey, he added. Ten households and five public places from each selected village would be evaluated on various Swachhta parameters, he said.
“The main objective of the SSG 2021 is to encourage large scale citizen participation, performance and comparison of districts and states, ascertain progress of the Swachhata on ground, solicit feedback from citizens and evaluate implementation of the solid and liquid waste management in districts,” he added.
