Kunnamkulam Municipality is aiming for the top position among the cleanest cities in the country.

As part of the Swachh Survekshan 2025–2026 campaign, Kunnamkulam Municipality organized cleanliness awareness programmes at various locations across the town. The awareness drive mainly focused on shop owners and commercial establishments in the municipality.

Around forty students from Vyasa College, Wadakkanchery, took part in the campaign under the leadership of the municipality. The students highlighted the importance of segregating waste at the source itself and advised shopkeepers to implement a twin-bin system for separately collecting biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. They also urged strict compliance with the municipality’s waste management regulations.

Information regarding the scientific waste management initiatives implemented by the municipality and the role of traders in supporting these efforts was distributed during the programme. Students directly visited shops along major roads in the town, including Pattambi Road, Thrissur Road, Wadakkanchery Road, and Guruvayur Road, spreading messages on cleanliness and proper waste management practices.

According to last year’s survey, Kunnamkulam Municipality secured the 193rd position among 4,852 cities in the country. This year, the municipality is making determined efforts to bring the town to the number one position. The energy and participation of the younger generation are proving to be a major strength in this mission.
