I thought Bangalore should have come above in the list – Its one of the greenest city I have seen with so many parks! They love their greenery. The whole state of Kerala is green!
Destination Infinity
According to me jaipur is one of fastest growing city in India with green and at the end of 2013 it will be the No 1 city and here i use to saying that why u not published jaipur in top ten position it is one of top ten city in India.
I Agree that Chandigarh is a beautiful and planned city but Kerala -on a whole is blessed with greenery and the entire state is green and should be on the top.
Well, green cities doesn’t only include gardens or trees, all aspects are considered like ban of polythene bags, garbage, pollution. Well I see my city toping all aspects of a clean city! thus Chandigarh is surely city beautiful and ever green city.
Bangalore Should be the first….it is the garden city of India and its greenery is awesome. Chandigarh too
LOL..
I think that Bhubaneswar,Capital City of Orissa should take a position in top ten green city of India.
Ha ha..Guys,I guess every one is correct as per their thoughts.
I will must say that every mentioned cities is Awesome and with amazing beauty.
Why not SHILLONG?it’s more green than any other city in India,maybe in the world too. . . .there’s no such thing as concrete jungle or a barren wasteland,everywhere you go,it’s all lush green,you will only get to see park,gardens and what’s not.The city as a whole looks like as if it’s floating among the dense lush greenery besides a beautiful lake. . .pity that no one takes notice of such a beautiful paradise on a majestic hillside,maybe they don’t know that Shillong is not a city but just a jungle as all the buildings and houses are covered among the… Read more »
dehradun is not among the top 15 cities 2 live in but its not among the 10 greenest is strange….We have 4 ways 2 enter dehradun. all all the 4 are covered with dense forests whether it is 2 mussourie or haridwar…all the central forest offices are situated here…v have loads of trees around us which is 1000 times more than delhi or chandigarh.
Why not Allahabad? Its not a metro city but its so beautiful as it is situated on banks on 2 major rivers of India – Ganga And Yamuna and guys The Indo gangetic plain one of the most fertile regions of the world, and Allahabad is covered by lush greenery all over.
jaipur should b on number 1 in that list
it is greener one
Delhi should stand 4th or 5th, this is the only city where there are many reserved forest in the middle of city including One 40 sqr KM,.
Mysore has been listed 2nd cleaniest city in india,it is a utter surprise that it do get charted in your lists

Jaipur top best city in india.

I think that Guwahati and Shillong should have been included in the list. Why is North East India always neglected?
According to me Bangalore is one of the greenish n clean city in India,well planned and good quality of life. also 142th rank according to 2011 survey which is top in India. Parks n trees here is awesome, So it should be on top.
No city is or can remain green if it has mindless concrete structures coming up, vehicles number and population growing. I would like to know if there are places in India which are actually green and could remain so for long time to come…would highly appreciate feedback from those who or their friends/relations are actually staying in those places and can throw some light on life there. Please help as I am looking for such place to move to from my current location- the mad Gurgaon and NCR in general.
Hyderabad is very ugly with toilets on footpaths. How you can say its clean.
guys……there is some mistake to numbering….
I think surat is also one of green and clean city of india…
hyderabad is the top most city yaar…….in each and every field its the best yaar
I thinkk you all guys don’t see Nagpur City, The Roads, Trees around roads, Sancturies Make Nagpur one of the most beautiful city in India.
first of all the above comments written by u all dont even know about the beauty of jharkhand and its heart city jamshedpur which is surrrounded by lush green environment of forests lakes and sanctuaries……ppl this is about top 10 green cities not best cities so jamshedpur is the most greenest and cleanest of all….go and visit once
Good on guys bangalore seems to be the bad planned city cause its one of the early planned cities . I have lived in bangalore and in urban bangalore lacks nothing its green . Clean etc its beautiful but chandigar is growing up now and can be better planned. Bangalore still includes everything.
Y nt guwahati,my Dr frands,guwahati iz also a big and green city of India,plz dont neglect Northeast my frands,its also apart of India.
About the Nagpur, its very wrong, nothing is like that, only 35 to 40 % Nagpur is green, rather i can say, its a Polluted and smogey city, Orange city is no far we can say (its a Sangha {RSS} city), people of here doses not get Oranges in the city. Other Attractions : 1) Asia’s biggest Food & Vegetable market in Nagpur names as Kalamna. 2) Asia’s biggest Timber market named as Lakadganj. 3) Asia’s biggest Govt. Medical college in Nagpur. 4) Most favourable environment for Sonpapdi. 5) Origin pt of Rashtriya Swyamsevek Sangha RSS. 6) It is Centre… Read more »
why u ppl r gettin so much obsessed by ur cities….we all know abt the cities in india….its not dat anyne is of less imporance…its only abt the clean and green cities…not abt having grt hotels,malls or being of a metropolitan status(with a lot of kachda in between) instead if u hav a clean city with lot of greenery it will hav a higher rank than the prev. one….cz its abt green and clean cities,as simple as dat.
i am agree with ur list but if you are talking about metro cities then pune city should be listed at top 1. i am not from pune but i am saying that pune’s climate n it’s green enviroment is completely different than the other cities of india as well as pune is only the largest city in india which is surrounded by largest valley area and green mountains.
if u r not agree then u can go there to see…
delhi is a worst city it should not be in the list. there are many cities you have left…..hope you make a more accurate list next time….still its a good effort..!
I love my Tatanagar ‘Jamshedpur’.
i still think it is bangalore ,some trees were cut down to bring development (metro rail,mall,it companies) but still it has greenish atmosphere. the government is taking steps to maintain the greenish of bangalore they are planting lots of trees and the development work is going on in bangalore city maybe after 10 years the entire image of bangalore will change it will become more developed and greenish when these trees grow up.
It’s very nice to see that our incredible india is preparing a greenery country in future.But i’m very disappointing that Bhubaneswar (Odisha) is not describe.Please describe about the green and temple city of odisha Bhubaneswar.
