The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is rolling out a unique and rewarding cleanliness initiative for highway travelers. Under the “Clean Toilet Picture Challenge”—part of Special Campaign 5.0—NHAI will credit users with a Rs 1,000 recharge in their FASTag wallet if they report and submit photographic evidence of an unclean toilet at any NHAI toll plaza.
How to Participate and Win
Earning a Rs 1,000 FASTag recharge is simple if you follow the steps below:
- Step 1: Download/Update the RajmargYatra app from your phone’s app store.
- Step 2: Spot an unclean toilet at any NHAI toll plaza on a national highway.
- Step 3: Take a clear, geo-tagged, and time-stamped picture of the dirty toilet using the app.
- Step 4: Submit your name, location, Vehicle Registration Number (VRN), and mobile number through the app.
Your entry, once verified through a mix of AI-assisted screening and manual checks, will get a Rs 1,000 FASTag recharge credited directly to your linked vehicle’s account. Note: The prize is not transferable as cash and applies only to toilets managed by NHAI—entries from fuel stations, roadside dhabas, or outside NHAI control aren’t eligible.

Why It Matters
This campaign empowers citizens to become partners in hygiene and public welfare. Incentivizing cleanliness on highways not only benefits travelers but also holds contractors and authorities more accountable. NHAI’s reward-for-reporting idea is a positive step for maintaining better sanitation across India’s vast network of national highways.
Conclusion
With India’s highways busier than ever, the NHAI’s “Clean Toilet Picture Challenge” brings together digital technology, civic responsibility, and rewarding participation. The combination of a seamless reporting system and real FASTag incentives could set a benchmark for public sanitation campaigns, making travel more comfortable for millions.
