The initiative operates through 30,000 vehicles, 150,000 sanitation workers, and 6,600 geo-tagged waste enclosures, all monitored via RFID systems, IP cameras, and AI-based tracking. Payments and performance are assessed through a KPI-based model, improving transparency and efficiency.
Citizens can report sanitation issues through a centralized Complaints Management System, while thousands of workers have gained formal employment, safety gear, and fair wages. The program also supports waste-to-energy, solar, and composting projects, positioning Punjab as a data-driven circular economy leader.
