About Ease of Living Index:
It is an assessment tool that evaluates the impact of various initiatives of urban development and the quality of life in the cities of India. The Ease of Living Index provides a comprehensive understanding of the participating cities on the basis of the quality of life, sustainability, and economic ability.
The findings from the index help in guiding the evidence-based policymaking as well as promote healthy competition among the cities by encouraging them to learn from their peers and advance their development.
About Municipal Performance Index:
By expanding the scope of the Ease of Living Index framework, Municipal Performance Index was undertaken for the first time in India.
While EoLI measures an outcome of the indicator, the index of municipal performance focuses on the factors that produce those outcomes. It determines the elements that prevent efficient global governance.
The Municipal Performance Index is an effort for analyzing and assessing the performance of Indian municipalities on the basis of their defined functions.
