In the year 2005, the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). In order to respond to the emerging needs of capacity building through cross learning and knowledge exchange between JNNURM cities the Peer Exchange and Reflective Learning programme (PEARL) was initiated in 2007. The Cities Alliance supported Knowledge Support for PEARL was introduced in 2010, to strengthen the project’s horizontal learning network nationally and internationally.

MMC has undertaken an initiative to develop Android based application - Swachh Bharat- Toilet Locator (SB-TL) for locating public toilets. It is an Android platform based, community driven app that’s essential for every Indian, especially those Indians who are committed to the SBM.
