This is a perceptual study that analysed municipal officials' perceptions on solid waste management process and effectiveness of Swachh Bharat mission pertaining to Thanjavur, a district of rich cultural heritage in Tamil Nadu, India. This study assessed the respondents' perceptions on existing methods of waste collection and its disposal. This research work also examined the challenges in the solid waste management process and successful implementation of Swachh Bharat mission. Further, the influence of socio-demographic factors on solid waste management and clean India mission was explored.
