JAMMU, JUNE 24 – Jammu city took a giant leap in Swachh Survekshan-2018 rankings by jumping 39 ranks up and standing tall at 212th rank at the national level as compared to its previous ranking of 251 in Swachh Survekshan-2017, a survey conducted by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India said. The study is conducted to encourage large scale citizen participation and create awareness amongst all sections of society about the importance of working together towards making towns and cities a better place to live in.  Additionally, the survey also intends to foster a spirit of healthy competition among towns and cities to improve their service delivery to citizens, towards creating cleaner cities.
