The Second Swachh Survekshan Survey was conducted in 434 cities in 2016-17 and the results were announced in May 2017. The Survey was based on urban sanitation and the ranking was based on a combination of:
·      Data provided by the municipal body

The Survey was carried out by Quality Council of India.
