The Challenge also helped identify 100 \u201cLighthouse cities\u201d from across States\/ UTs who have done good work in mechanizing their cleaning operations and ensuring safety and welfare of their SafaiMitras.<\/p>\n<p>On 25<sup>th<\/sup> March 2022, as part of its targeted capacity building initiatives, the SBM-Urban Mission directorate of MOHUA organized the first-of-its-kind \u201c<strong>SwachhTalks<\/strong>\u201d as part of its peer-learning webinar series for States\/ UTs and ULBs, with the theme \u201c<strong>SafaiMitra Suraksha in 100 lighthouse cities<\/strong>\u201d.
