Pune is the most liveable city, followed closely by Navi Mumbai and
Greater Mumbai in a ranking of 111 Indian cities with the national
capital ranked at a lowly 65 on the Ease of Living Index released by the
government here.
Thane is the fourth Maharashtra city that made
it to the top 10 in the list. Other cities ranked among the best 10 are
Tirupati, Chandigarh, Raipur, Indore, Vijaywada and Bhopal.
Notably, none of the cities in big states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have made it to the top 10.
Chennai has been ranked 14, Hyderabad at 27 and Bengaluru at 85. Kolkata had refused to participate in the survey.
Gurugram
is at the 88th spot. Rampur in Uttar Pradesh is at the bottom of the
list that has Jammu and Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir at 95 and 100.
The Ease of Living Index was launched by Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Monday.
The
survey based on four parameters -- governance, social institutions,
economic and physical infrastructure -- was conducted in 111 cities
across the country.
It is an initiative of the ministry to help cities assess their liveability on the bases of global and national benchmarks.
The survey was started to encourage cities to move towards an outcome-based approach to urban planning and management.
Its
framework comprised four pillars -- institutional, social, economic and
physical which are further broken down into 15 categories and 78
indicators.
The minister said evaluation of cities was done on a
100-point scale with the institutional and social pillars carrying 25
points each, five points for the pillar on economic and 45 points for
the physical pillar.
A ministry official said the cities
submitted data on more than 50,000 points. Secondary audit of 10,000
documents, physical audit of 14,000 units and survey of more than 60,000
citizens were completed which led to finalization of the index.
The
assessment standards, according to the government, are closely linked
to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will provide a strong
impetus to India's effort for systematic tracking progress of the goals
in the urban areas.
Of the 17 SDG goals, eight are directly linked to India's ease of living assessment framework.
