Panaji (GOA) The liveability standard of the Capital City Panaji is being assessed by the Union Ministry for Urban Development, to know how the Smart City ranks in terms of basic amenities, governance and economic growth.

The project started on September 11, that includes total 116 cities across country, will conclude onSeptember 10, 2018.

The liveability index would rate the cities on 79 parameters including how they fare in terms of grievance redressal of citizens, pollution, availability of water and power, solid waste management, crime rate, online citizen services, upkeep of historical buildings, increase in tourist footfalls, crime rate, mobility and traffic surveillance system, housing, health and education.

The index would chart a city’s progress against various standards under four categories – institutional, social, economic and physical.

Panaji is one amongst those 47 cities selected under the Smart City Development Mission.
