Purpose:
<\/strong>The PAI is designed to measure and calculate how well Indian states and union territories perform and deliver justice in social, economic, and political areas.
Methodology:
<\/strong>\u2022 The ranking of states and union territories is done by using the Composite Index (CI).
The assessment measures governance using three broad themes, five sub-themes, and 22 indicators.
As an example, the PAI 2020 based its measurement on three pillars, five key themes in governance, and 50 detailed indicators referring to 13 Sustainable Development Goals.
\u2022 Changes were made in the approach PAI took in many key areas for the 2022 edition.
Focus:
<\/strong>States are seen as key drivers of change in India, and the index tries to rate their governance based on achieving sustainability goals.
Data Source:
<\/strong>The PAI mostly relies on information taken from Union Government Ministries and Departments.
Recent Release:
<\/strong>The Public Affairs Centre has recently published the most recent Public Affairs Index, called PAI 2022.
PAI 2022 Findings:
<\/strong>Haryana was awarded as the best-governing state among the major states.
Sikkim continued to be the leading state in the February recommendations for smaller states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
