Swachh Bharat Mission Urban

Swachhata App

Home / Swachhata App

The Hon’ble Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs launched the Swachhata App (a grievance redressal tool), on 6th August 2016 for 4,041 statutory towns of India. The App has been envisioned as an effective tool towards enabling citizens to have their grievances addressed by the concerned Municipal Corporation where in, a citizen can click a picture of the problem area and have the complaint delegated to the associated ward engineer by the Nodal Office of the city. The ward engineer can then work on the issue and update the status as ‘resolved’ using the Engineer’s version of the App.

How it works?

  • The Swachhata app and Portal is to be used by citizen to help Municipal corporations spot the unclean areas in the city and take necessary steps.
  • When any citizen spots a cleanliness related issue in the city he/she takes a picture through the application, choses a category and lodges a complaint which immediately reflects on the backend, which is to be monitored by Municipal corporation’s designated officials.
  • Complaint is then assigned by the nodal officers to the relevant field official who gets a notification on SBM Engineer App installed on his/her phone. The assigned official then goes, resolves the complaint and takes a picture as a proof that the complaint is resolved, which is to be uploaded on the SBM Engineer app while marking the complaint as resolved.
  • The status of complaint being resolved and the picture as a proof is then sent back in the citizen app as a notification to the citizen that the complaint lodged has been rectified. The citizen can then give feedback on how the municipal corporation performed on the complaint lodged by giving happy, neutral or sad response and can also re-open the complaint if the citizen feels the complaint was not resolved at all.

This way, the overall process makes it transparent for the citizen and the officials to track the complaints. The municipal corporations are hence engaged with the citizens to get their active support and involvement in Swachh Bharat Mission.
