What was the purpose of the online digital poll conducted among participants at the Clean Delhi workshop?

  1. A.To elect office bearers of the sanitation staff association
  2. B.To identify the key challenges affecting cleanliness in Delhi
  3. C.To rank wards for a municipal cleanliness award
  4. D.To decide the location of new waste-to-energy plants

Correct answer

B. To identify the key challenges affecting cleanliness in Delhi

Explanation

The correct answer is to identify the key challenges affecting cleanliness in Delhi and to gather the views of those working at the grassroots. The poll produced feedback on operational gaps, citizen behaviour, service delivery difficulties and the openings for improvement, which is exactly the material planners need if solutions are to work on the ground. Option A is wrong because no election was part of the programme; the inspectors and supervisors present were felicitated for their contribution, not voted into office. Option C is wrong because the workshop was about diagnosing problems and sharing best practices as success stories rather than ranking wards. Option D is wrong because no siting decision was taken; the discussion covered door-to-door collection, Garbage Vulnerable Points, public toilets and grievance redressal.
