As the first woman Chief Minister of Punjab, I take immense pride in launching Suthra Punjab — a province-wide sanitation reform that reflects our government’s resolve to deliver clean, dignified, and climate-conscious public services.
This initiative is deeply personal to me. Cleanliness is not merely the absence of waste — it is the foundation of public health, civic pride, and social equality. From day one, I envisioned Suthra Punjab as a systemic shift — one that digitizes service delivery, empowers sanitation workers, involves every tehsil, and makes citizens our co-creators of change.
As Chief Secretary, I take pride in shaping the Suthra Punjab initiative into a structural reform that aligns every tier of administration with accountability and shared purpose under the Chief Minister's effective leadership. This is more than a cleanliness drive; it is a path to healthier families, stronger economies, and a brighter, sustainable Punjab.
Suthra Punjab is a flagship province-wide climate program for integrated waste management and urban development, aiming to make Punjab a regional model of circular economy and waste valorization—converting waste into clean energy, jobs, and climate resilience. It is one of the world’s largest waste collection models, delivering doorstep cleanliness services to over 130 million people across the province.
Our pledge for a healthier, prosperous future.
Our pledge for a healthier, prosperous future.
Suthra Punjab is driven by bold ambitions: to remake how our province sees waste, unlock immense value from everyday refuse, and deliver cleaner, healthier communities. It aims to create vibrant local economies, protect public health, and showcase Punjab as a model of modern, accountable service delivery—transforming sanitation into opportunity.
A robust PPP model drives Suthra Punjab across 141 tehsils through bankable four-year concessions that transfer operational risk to private operators while maintaining public ownership and strategic control. This decentralized framework ensures sustainable cleanliness through efficient door-to-door waste collection, proper landfill disposal, and deployment of skilled staff with modern machinery. Payments are performance-linked via digital Key Performance Indicators, with mobilization advances and performance guarantees codified in contracts
