The survey will cover 21,000 selected villages across the country, including 450 villages in Kerala. At least 20 villages will be surveyed in each district, with the number of villages proportionate to the population. The survey will assess waste management systems and cleanliness standards in houses, local govt offices, schools, anganwadis, public places, markets, places of worship and primary health centres.
Various agencies will conduct the survey, coordinated by the state's local govt department and the Suchitwa Mission. A maximum of 1000 points will be awarded to each district based on adherence to sanitation and waste management standards.
Teams will visit a set number of households in each panchayat to inspect facilities such as toilets, handwashing stations, drinking water, domestic waste management systems and soak pits for wastewater treatment.
To directly gather public opinion, the Swachh Survekshan Grameen 2025 mobile application will be used for citizen feedback. The survey aims to develop plans to provide facilities in areas that are currently lacking.

Everyone should be an eco-warrior: Minister
Everyone should become an eco-warrior, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said. He was speaking after performing the State-level inauguration of 'Kalpakam' under the higher secondary National Service Scheme here on Thursday. The Minister called for spreading the message of loving nature as one would love their nation. He reminded students that climate change, deforestation, floods or drought, and the problem of waste were affecting daily lives of not only others, but our own too. Just as Kerala was a model for others in the area of education, it should emerge the leader in environmental conservation too. Efforts to create environmental awareness among students were being made in government and aided schools through initiatives such as Haritha Vidyalayam, activities of the Suchitwa Mission, anti-plastic campaigns, and popularising organic farming. Students should go beyond knowledge of the environment contained in textbooks and experience things themselves so that they can become protectors of nature, the Minister said. He underlined the need to ensure that all initiatives of the department were green. From new buildings to everyday activities, everything should be implemented in a eco-friendly manner, he said.
