So far, over 5 lakh CTUs have been designated for rejuvenation into clean, beautiful facilities. By adopting Cleanliness Target Units, CPSUs can offer vital support through various initiatives, including manpower and machinery assistance, as well as plantation drives.

They can actively participate in Safai Mitra Suraksha Shivirs, engage in Swachh Bharat Cultural Festivals, collaborate on Swachh Food Streets, and install waste-to-art projects at transformed locations, contributing significantly to the cleanliness and beautification efforts.
