The [[Ministry of Urban Development]], [[Government of India]], and the [[Central Pollution Control Board|Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)]] of India, annually publish National City Rating under the [[Swachh Bharat Abhiyan]] scheme. The rating includes around 500 cities, covering 72 percent of the [[urban population]] in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until 2017, India was divided into five zones for the purpose of this survey and each city was scored on 19 indicators. The cities were classified into four colours: green, blue, black, and red, green being the cleanest city, and red the most polluted. None of the cities was rated as green—the best category in the exercise. However, during the 2017-18 senses survey, the parameters of assessment were modified, and cities were categorised, based on population, into metropolis, large, medium, and small cities, and assessment took place according to this categorisation.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Swachh Survekshan 2018 Report|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/indore-bhopal-chandigarh-ranked-cleanest-city-survey/articleshow/64192247.cms|accessdate=17 May 2018|publisher=Ministry of Urban Development}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest ranking of 2022 by the cleanliness survey &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Swachh Survekshan&amp;#039;&amp;#039; marks [[Indore]] as the cleanest city of India. Indore has held the title of being India&amp;#039;s cleanest city for six consecutive years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/indore-retains-cleanest-city-tag-for-6th-time-in-govt-survey-101664626365670.html | title=Indore is &amp;#039;cleanest city&amp;#039; for 6th time in govt survey, Delhi at 9th spot | date=October 2022 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It aims to foster a spirit of competition among the cities and offers a comprehensive assessment of their sanitation status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The performance of each city was evaluated on five key thematic parameters-&lt;br /&gt;
{{Plainlist|&lt;br /&gt;

*• Municipal solid waste - processing and disposal of solid waste&lt;br /&gt;
