1. It is an effort to assess and analyze the performance of Indian municipalities
2. Index is based on five enablers or drivers of growth i.e. Services, Finance, Policy, Technology, and Governance
Which of the following codes given below is/are correct?Correct
Explanation: Municipalities are critical units of local governance within a nation. The performance of municipalities is dependent on key strengths which enable them to execute the functions entrusted to them in an efficient and productive manner. These enablers make them capable of making a city ’smart’. These enablers can be broadly classified as Services, Finance, Policy, Technology, and Governance. With the Municipal Performance Index 2019, the Ministry has sought to facilitate Smart Cities and other million plus population cities in assessment of these five enablers, which will eventually help Municipalities in better planning and management, filling the gaps in city administration as brought out in their self-assessment, thereby improving the livability of cities for its citizens. The Municipal Performance Index is an effort to assess and analyze the performance of Indian municipalities based on their defined set of functions. The responsibilities of a municipality span across a range of verticals that include provision of basic pubic services to more complex domains like urban planning. The Municipal Performance Index is meant to complement the Ease of Living Index, which in turn gives insight into the livability within Indian cities as a result of the services provided by local bodies.
