Prof Rai shared details about the MoU and said that IIM Indore has received a grant of Rs 199.50 million from the MoHUA. 'Indore has been the 'cleanest city' under the Swachh Bharat Survekshan for the past five years. The Center of Excellence under the MoU will design and implement training and development courses for political leadership, including mayors and district councilors, to build their capabilities, skills and sensitivity. “This training would strengthen their capacities to drive urban sanitation and waste management initiatives,” he said.
