Speaking on the occasion, deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said cities are centres of growth which generate employment.
Under the Swachha Maharashtra campaign, the state's urban areas would be completely transformed, he said.
The campaign is modelled on the Union government's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
It will be carried out from October 2 to December 31 and best-performing cities will get prizes.
