Jaipur Swachh Survekshan 2026 Result: City Ranking and Award
Jaipur has received the State First Swachh City Award for Rajasthan in Swachh Survekshan 2025-26. The award recognises Jaipur as the leading state-level clean city in Rajasthan in the latest survey edition.
The national award ceremony was held on 11 November 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. President Droupadi Murmu presented the award to Rajasthan Urban Development and Housing Minister Jhabar Singh Kharra, Jaipur Mayor Sunil Kothari and Municipal Corporation Commissioner Om Kasera.
This survey edition is particularly important because Jaipur Greater and Jaipur Heritage were merged and participated as a single municipal entity. However, no city from Rajasthan secured a top-three position in any national award category.

The State First Swachh City award is a state-level recognition. It should not be interpreted as first position in the combined national ranking of all Indian cities.
2. Jaipur Receives Rajasthan State First Clean City Award
Jaipur received the State First Swachh City Award in Rajasthan for its performance in waste collection, waste disposal, water management and urban cleanliness.
President Droupadi Murmu presented the award to Rajasthan Urban Development and Housing Minister Jhabar Singh Kharra, Jaipur Mayor Sunil Kothari and Municipal Corporation Commissioner Om Kasera at the national ceremony.
The recognition is an important achievement for the unified Jaipur municipal administration. It also highlights the importance of coordination between municipal departments, sanitation workers and city residents.
3. Jaipur Greater and Jaipur Heritage Merger
Earlier, Jaipur was administered through two separate municipal corporations: Jaipur Greater and Jaipur Heritage. Both civic bodies participated separately in previous Swachh Survekshan editions.
Following their merger, Jaipur participated as a single municipal entity in the 2025-26 survey.
| Previous Survey 2024-25 | Rank in Million Plus Category |
|---|---|
| Jaipur Greater | 16th |
| Jaipur Heritage | 20th |
Both previous municipal bodies also received three-star Garbage Free City ratings in the 2024-25 survey.
Since Jaipur participated as one unified municipal entity in 2025-26, its current award should not be directly compared with either previous corporation rank. A detailed numerical ranking for the merged entity should be checked in the official scorecard.
4. Cleanliness Initiatives in Jaipur
The Jaipur municipal administration undertook several cleanliness activities to improve the city performance in the latest survey.
Reported initiatives included:
- Regular cleaning drives across municipal wards.
- Improvement in door-to-door garbage collection.
- Better waste transportation and disposal arrangements.
- Public participation in cleanliness campaigns.
- Monitoring of sanitation services in residential areas.
- Activities to improve cleanliness in commercial and public spaces.
- Awareness campaigns encouraging responsible waste disposal.
These initiatives were reported as part of the city improvement efforts. The official award announcement does not provide separate numerical scores for each activity.
5. Why Is the State Award Important for Jaipur?
The State First Swachh City Award recognises a leading city within a state. Jaipur receiving this award highlights its performance among the urban local bodies of Rajasthan.
The recognition is important for several reasons:
- It gives national recognition to Jaipur municipal sanitation efforts.
- It encourages competition among Rajasthan urban local bodies.
- It highlights the importance of regular waste collection and disposal.
- It encourages better coordination between municipal departments.
- It promotes citizen participation in public cleanliness.
- It creates an opportunity to strengthen urban sanitation services.
6. Rajasthan Cities in National Award Categories
According to reporting on the 2025-26 results, no city from Rajasthan secured a top-three position in the national award categories.
Jaipur received the State First Swachh City Award for Rajasthan, but this is different from the national population-based and special-category awards.
The available published information does not establish a complete numerical ranking of every Rajasthan city. Therefore, a complete state-wise city ranking should not be invented without an official scorecard.
