Bengaluru, Mar 15: Karnataka’s capital and India’s IT capital is at rock bottom of the chart of 23 major Indian cities in terms of urban governance, according to the Annual Survey of India’s City-Systems (ASICS) 2017 by the Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy, a Bengaluru-based non-profit organisation.
The survey, released on Wednesday, evaluated quality of governance in 23 major cities across 20 states, based on 89 questions. ASICS 2016 had placed Bengaluru at 16th spot among 21cities.
Most cities have scored between 3 and 5.1 out of 10, with Pune topping the charts for the first time. Other cities in the top five are Kolkata, Thiruvananthapuram, Bhubaneswar and Surat, with scores in the range of 4.6 to 4.5. The survey reveals that Indian cities continue to score low over the past three editions. Though there is improvement in city systems, it’s at a very slow pace.
