An attempt is made to evaluate the ranting of IIT Roorkee campus under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has been made to reflect the level of cleanness, solid waste and waste water processing within the campus. The study is based on the set of parameters developed by referring literatures and government norms to evaluate the cleanliness of campus and also reflects the ongoing collection, transportation and disposal practices of waste. The set of parameters have been applied on various premises and spaces of campus to rank it on an index. The parameters were developed to address, and collect information regarding solid waste management, sanitation and cleanliness of toilets and other spaces within the campus. The campus had been categorised into various zones on the basis of functionality of area. Survey and interactions were done for collecting data on the basis of list of parameters developed for various zone. The overall campus rating found as 3.8/5 due to bad SWM practices. Individual scoring of various aspects found are 3.88/5 for cleanliness of toilets and other spaces, 4.32/5 for resource availability, 3.93/5 for manpower availability, 4.13/5 for resource availability, 2.54/5 for solid waste management, 4.05/5 for light and ventilation and 3.73/5 for infrastructure maintenance. It was significantly observed that the number of toilets doesn’t meet the prescribed norms of NBC 2005 in most of academic departments. The condition of the toilets are unhygienic and fixtures used are inefficient. The segregation of waste is not manged as per Solid Waste Management rules 2016. The hospital waste is not managed according to Bio Medical waste management rules 2016. The score for various spaces can provide quick view of the level of cleanliness which is useful for making an appropriate diagnosis of the spaces/campus cleanliness, and is the first step in decision making and Service Optimization Process. The study will helpful in revisiting the areas where improvement is required to further improve level of cleanliness and improve the overall clanliness of the campus
