In order to sensitize the cities administration as well as the citizens about the current state of sanitation and raise awareness about the need for improvement, Govt of India has announced a National Rating of Class 1 Cities on sanitation parameters.
Releasing the rating Union Urban Development Minister, Shri Jaipal Reddy said that exercise for the rating initiated in 2009 is a part of National Urban Sanitation Policy to make Indian cities and towns totally sanitized, healthy and liveable i.e. they become Nirmal Shahars.

None of the local newspapers have given the Belgaum ratings. So sometimes AAB is good.

Let us wait & watch the fruits of "100 CRORES".
Hope the ranking will improve.
If you look at the points there is not a huge difference to be in the list of Top 20 (Bidar Rank 22 with 49.820 points, Belgaum Rank 90 with 40.510 points)
some are happy, some are sad and some want to see it still better but has what and how the best can be done why next five years why not in next 1 or 2 years why not each of you follow up our municipality not one or two but in groups
I liked your comment on "follow up"…. …….as in most cases the next big step is who is that " each of you"…… If I can be blunt enough.. this is where we ( including me!) fail in our duties as citizens. We always want others to do " public job". A lot of us talk about doing something for BGM ( like the way I am doing right now sitting out side BGM) … seldom we translate that enthusiasm in action when we are at/in BGM.
BELGAUM will be in top 10 in next 5-7yrs.. Bijapur, Udupi, Chikkamagalur, Hospet,should have come next to Belgaum in this ranking.
?????????????????????
guys guys instead of looking for who is above or below us, just think why we are not on TOP, what we need to do become on top ?????
