This document discusses better governance of municipal corporations in India to achieve the Swachh Bharat mission of clean cities and proper solid waste management. It notes that India will soon have 68 million people living in cities that generate high volumes of waste daily, with many dumps that are unscientific. The solid waste management rules from 2000 and 2015 are not fully implemented. Municipal corporations must enforce waste reduction, segregation and create partnerships with businesses to contribute to the mission following transparent governance. Performance should be measured and technical assistance replaced with demands for results from urban departments and corporations.
