NDMC recognised for cleanliness in Swachh Survekshan 2024-25 awards
The body was recognised for its performance in urban sanitation and waste management in the category of cities with a population between 50,000 and 3 lakh.
'This award is a testament to NDMC's continued efforts to set benchmarks in cleanliness and civic excellence,' said NDMC chairman Keshav Chandra.
The primary goal of the cleanliness survey, which was started in 2016, is to encourage large-scale citizen participation and create awareness about urban cleanliness. This year, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry introduced a special category, 'Super Swachh League', to recognise cities demonstrating exceptional performance in sanitation.
Meanwhile, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was ranked 31 out of 40 cities with a population of over 10 lakh, ahead of Greater Mumbai and Chennai, which were ranked 33 and 38 respectively.
Ghaziabad fared better than the MCD and stood at 11th position.
In the category of cities with a population of 3 lakh to 10 lakh, Noida received the 'Super Swachh League City' award, while Gurugram was ranked 41.

MCD mulls use of schools, community halls for skilling programmes in Delhi
New Delhi School premises will be available only from 3-8pm. (Representative photo/HT Archive) The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is mulling to use the premises of over 1,100 schools and underutilised community halls to run skill development centres, and two policy proposals in this regard will be put up for the standing committee's approval later this week, officials aware of the matter said. A senior MCD official said that the policy mandates that the agencies take the equipment with them after use and clean the school premises daily to make it ready for teaching the next day. 'Many MCD schools are running in single shift operations where school premises are not being utilised after school hours. The space in these schools can be leveraged for the purpose of skill development and vocational training. If institutions and NGOs with good credentials and desirous of using school premises, MCD can consider the request...,' the proposal moved by the education department reads. MCD runs 1,514 municipal primary schools from 1,186 building complexes, catering to around 700,000 students. The scheme will only be open to implement government schemes or CSR undertaken by public sector undertakings, such as Skill India mission, Pradhanmantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, Jan Shikshan Sansthan, Craftsmen training scheme, Vocational training programme for women and SANKALP scheme. The senior MCD official cited above said: 'They (those using the premises) will not be allowed any addition or alteration in the building structures. School premises will be available only between 3pm and 8pm.' The official said that memorandum of understanding for one year is proposed initially. The proposal moved by the community services department states that there are 299 community halls and eight community centres run by the department, of which 278 units are functional. Of these, 114 community halls and eight centres have been identified as vacant or underutilised. 'These can be effectively leveraged for conducting vocational training and skill development programmes,' the department said in its proposal. 'If any community hall is allotted to the institution and that hall is booked by the citizen as per existing policy then the agency shall vacate the center in a clean manner for use of the booking party on booking date,' the proposal reads. The move follows a review meeting on the underutilisation of community centres and halls helmed by chief minister Rekha Gupta last month. Despite high demand for spaces to hold community functions and weddings in Delhi, a large chunk of community centres run by corporations remain severely underutilised.

Cracks in the System: Chandni Chowk's Urdu Medium Schools Struggle With Neglect
New Delhi: The paint is chipping off the limestone walls. The lanes are muddy as they lead to the iron gates, which have paintings of cheerful children. The images are promising, but the school run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi in Bulbul Khana of Old Delhi is hardly surviving with just two overworked teachers to manage things. Urdu medium schools in the Bazar Sita Ram area of Chandni Chowk take you back in time, but not in a nostalgic manner. In one school, just two teachers handle 150 students studying in nursery to Class V. One of them is tied up with daily paperwork, the other juggles classes. An unpaid volunteer is the only help for them. Students sit in two seepage-ridden classrooms. One accommodates nursery to Class II students, the other clubs classes III-V. "It's hard for just the two of us to manage 150 children, that too of different classes," sighed one teacher. The second, a special educator, added, "I also have to see to the needs of special children. At times, when I'm engaged in office work, they just tag along with me into the cramped office. What choice do they have?" You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi A special concern is the lack of qualified Urdu instructors. Despite exams being conducted in Urdu, worksheets often arrive in Hindi. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

TOI's visit revealed the absence of another basic facility. With only two toilets and no separate facility for them, the teachers clean the toilet each time they have to use it. A few lanes away, the co-ed school in Kucha Pundit mirrors the woes. Here too, 117 students are taught by just two teachers. Rafi Saab, 62, who studied in the same school in 1970, said, "The school predates Partition and it is crumbling due to poor maintenance." Built in 1919, the school is now surrounded by three-storey buildings. Rafiya Mahir, MCD councillor from the ward, pointed at the emptied classroom and shrugged, "The foundation is continuously receding. We never know when the structure will collapse. And the two teachers can only do so much." Mahir also claimed that prior to 2007, there were 11 Urdu schools in the area. Now, there were just three. Of the three schools, the one in Lambi Gali appears in better shape but recently faced an academic hurdle — Hindi worksheets not translated into Urdu for the exams, resulting in the teachers having to translate them on their own. "This is the first time there has been such a discrepancy in exam worksheets," claimed an official in MCD's education department. "The matter will be looked into." MCD refused to comment officially on the state of the schools, but sources in the body cited the unification of the three corporations as the cause of delayed resource allocation. They claimed repairs would be taken up this year. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

Monsoon Wading: How Delhi Has Built Its Own Way Into Flood Crisis
New Delhi: The flooding that brought large parts of Delhi to a standstill in 2023 is not a freak act of nature. A recent report says it is the outcome of a long-ignored unplanned urban expansion, high rainwater runoff, reduced groundwater recharge and poor drainage networks. Waste disposal in drains and waterbodies, uncleared sewers and drains and encroachment of eco-sensitive areas contribute to the problem. These findings emerged from the Environmental Improvement Plan of Delhi, an assessment of urban flood management in the city after every heavy rainfall. The report states that Delhi's transformation from wetlands and agricultural fields into concrete settlements has dramatically reduced the city's natural capacity to absorb rainfall. Built-up areas now dominate, resulting in higher surface runoff and reduced groundwater recharge. In places like Connaught Place and Karol Bagh and dense informal settlements like Sangam Vihar, compact layouts and lack of planning exacerbate waterlogging. Conversely, in low-density peripheries such as Chhatarpur, Dwarka and Narela, though green, overlap with flood-prone belts of the Yamuna floodplain. The river's banks, once natural flood buffers, have now been taken over by urbanisation. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Several urban zones sit in low-lying depressions with inadequate slope toward drainage outlets. ITO, for instance, suffers from poor natural flow and so regularly overwhelms the stormwater drain network. Hundreds of illegal settlements on the floodplain as well as legitimately built areas such as Mayur Vihar and bungalows in Civil Lines were impacted by the swollen river in 2023, with more than 23,000 people having to be evacuated. In July 2024, the basement of a coaching centre was flooded and took the lives of three students. This year too, several areas have been deluged every time it has rained heavily. A govt official claimed, "Conditions this year have improved significantly, though some areas suffered waterlogging. The usually affected spots like Minto Bridge, Ring Road opposite WHO office, Jahangirpuri metro station road, Zakhira flyover and the Loni Road roundabout did not report waterlogging in the last heavy showers." He also claimed there had been "intense cleaning" of the Barapullah drain because of which any accumulated water receded quickly. The report highlighted choked drains as a factor. The practice of dumping garbage into open drains and waterbodies had blocked major water pathways, while encroachments have blocked drainage lines in Kirat Nagar, Dwarka and Rohini, it said. Delhi's drainage network, maintained by different agencies, totals 3,642 km. PWD manages the largest chunk of 2,064km, Delhi govt's irrigation and flood control department (426km), MCD (521km), NDMC and Delhi Cantonment (374km) and DDA, (251km). Officials disclosed that a committee has been formed to coordinate between the multiple agencies. They claimed that the same party at the helm in the state govt and in MCD, coordination has been better in recent days. The industrial sector also contributes to the problem. While industries produce 32.79 million litres of effluent every day, the existing common effluent treatment plants treat just 63.4 MLD against their capacity of 212.3 MLD. This inefficiency, coupled with sewage system punctures, burdens the stormwater drain network, the report said. A govt official, however, said that the treatment figures in the report related to the earlier situation and these had, as of now, improved. Govt was closely monitoring CEPTs and ensuring that efficiency increased, he said. As rainfall patterns become more erratic due to climate change, the capital faces intense downpours over short durations, a challenge for its already stressed, clogged and poorly planned stormwater system. The report underlines several urgent recommendations to strengthen solid waste and stormwater management, restore and desilt natural drains, undertake reforms to prevent further encroachments and engage local communities in awareness and maintenance efforts.
