DEHRADUN, 28 Mar: Dehradun Municipal Corporation (Doon Nagar Nigam) has been conferred with the prestigious Gold SKOCH Award 2025, a recognition granted on the basis of the country’s most credible and independent evaluation for innovation and excellence in civic work.
The Nagar Nigam officials including Municipal Commissioner Namami Bansal asserted that under the guidance and leadership of the Chief Minister and the Mayor, the corporation has earned this honour for two major initiatives undertaken during 2025. The first initiative involved reclaiming encroached public land and developing parks and green spaces, thereby enhancing urban aesthetics and providing citizens with recreational areas. The second initiative was the establishment of an integrated command and control centre for solid waste management, which has strengthened efficiency and accountability in handling urban waste. Through these measures, Dehradun Municipal Corporation has not only promoted urban beautification but has also made notable contributions towards environmental conservation.
