Mawlynnong, located in the state of Meghalaya, is the cleanest village in India. Here, cleanliness comes naturally to everyone from toddlers to the aged.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who through his Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has been attempting to create a clean India, in a radio address in 2015 declared Mawlynnong a model for the entire country to emulate.
Situated 100 km from Shillong, this village has had houses with fully functional toilets since 2007. Bamboo dustbins have been installed outside each house and even fallen leaves go right into them. Smoking, as well as the use of plastic, is strictly banned in this village.
