- 16 Nov 2023
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has officially launched the 'AAINA Dashboard for Cities' portal, www.aaina.gov.in, on November 13, 2023.
- This platform invites Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) nationwide to actively participate in a pioneering initiative by voluntarily submitting their crucial data regularly through a user-friendly data entry form on the portal.
Key Points
- Objectives of AAINA Dashboard:
The AAINA Dashboard aims to help cities:
- Evaluate their performance relative to other cities.
- Find inspiration by highlighting possibilities and areas for improvement.
- Foster learning and engagement with frontrunners.
- Comparative Analysis without Ranking: The dashboard will not rank ULBs but will facilitate the comparison of similarly placed cities, promoting peer learning.
- Pillars for Data Presentation: Data submitted by ULBs will be presented across five pillars:
- Political & Administrative Structure
- Finance
- Planning
- Citizen Centric Governance
- Delivery of Basic Services
- Data Submission Process: ULBs will submit audited accounts and self-reported performance metrics through the dashboard's portal. Updates can be made as needed, ensuring flexibility.
- Permanent Platform for ULB Data: Envisioned as a permanent platform, the AAINA Dashboard will be regularly updated, creating a robust database accessible to all stakeholders. Once populated, it will be made available for public viewing.
- Support from Digital India Corporation: The Ministry, through Digital India Corporation, will provide necessary support to ULBs and states during the data submission process as required.
