NEW DELHI: The Union Government has launched a nationwide rural sanitation survey aimed at providing a national ranking for all States, Union Territories, and Districts of India.

He stated that the survey will measure the impact of India's flagship cleanliness programs, Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM).
