How Indore is India’s Cleanest City for 7 Years Straight.
This isn’t just about cleaning streets — it’s about transforming mindsets.

✅ Waste-to-Wealth Revolution – compost plants, biogas units, and plastic-to-fuel plants
✅ Real-Time Monitoring – GPS-enabled garbage trucks, 24/7 war room, Safai Mitras on-ground
