Key Points

Under the National Urban Sanitation Policy, a city that scores points between 34 and 66 and needs considerable improvement is color-coded as black.
The comparative rating of cities is based on 19 sanitation indicators.
It is currently being carried out in 441 cities and towns with a population of more than 100,000.
The indicators are based on output/process/outcome levels.
Cities will be rated on parameters such as:
- complete elimination of open defecation.
- elimination of open scavenging.
- safe collection and disposal of total human excreta.
On the basis of the rating, cities will be classified as Red, Black, Blue, or Green to denote increasing achievement of good environmental and health outcomes (red being the lowest and green the highest).

City Colour Codes: Categories
Category	Description	Points
Red	Needing immediate remedial action	< 33
Black	Needing considerable improvement	< 34 < 66
Blue	Recovering but still diseased	< 67 < 90
Green	Healthy and Clean city	< 91 < 100

Each year if the city improves its ratings, it will be recognized and awarded “Nirmal Shahar Puraskar”.
The cities are divided into north, south, east and northeast, west and central, and south-central.
