To continue the Swachh movement, the administration has been taking several initiatives. As many as 14 special teams supervise sanitation drive in the town. The town was declared ODF (open defecation free) as it made it mandatory that every house have a toilet. Siddipet has been declared as the 2-star rating garbage-free city. All the efforts of the civic authorities were reviewed, and feedback was also taken, from time to time, from the public. Siddipet achieved another distinction of being at second spot in entire country in terms of receiving feedback.
