Member of Parliament, PC Mohan, BBMP Commissioner N. Manjunath Prasad, Managing Director of Smart City Rajendra Cholan virtually attended the event.
"Among Indian cities with a population of over a million, the ease of living is the highest in #Bengaluru — one of the very few cities to achieve this remarkable feat. A total of 111 cities participated in the #ELIndex2020 by @MoHUA_India. Congratulations to everyone involved!" Mohan tweeted.
The Ease of Living Index (EoLI) is an assessment tool that evaluates the quality of life and the impact of various initiatives for urban development.
It provides a comprehensive understanding of participating cities across India based on quality of life, economic ability of a city, and its sustainability and resilience. The assessment also incorporates the residents' view on the services provided by city administration through a Citizen Perception Survey.
