About AAINA Dashboard for Cities:

• It would serve as a tool for comparing similarly placed Urban Local Bodies (ULBs ) and promoting peer learning amongst ULBs.
• This dashboard will inspire the ULBs by pointing to possibilities and areas of improvement and providing them the opportunity to learn and engage with frontrunners.
• It aims to create a robust database of the key performance metrics of Urban Local Bodies, which could be accessed by all stakeholders, and subsequently would open for public view once it gets populated.
• Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across the country can participate in this pioneering initiative to voluntarily submit their key data on a regular basis, through a simple, easy-to-fill, data entry form on the portal.
• Objectives of the AAINA Dashboard are to help cities to
• See how they are faring vis-à-vis other cities.
• Inspire them by pointing to possibilities and areas of improvement and
• Providing opportunity to learn and engage with frontrunners.
• The Dashboard will present the data submitted by the ULBs on the basis of indicators across five broad pillars namely,
• Political & Administrative Structure,
• Finance
• Planning,
• Citizen Centric Governance and
• Delivery of Basic Services.
• The ULBs will submit their data, including audited accounts, and self-reported performance metrics by logging in to the dashboard’s portal.
• ULBs would be free to update the information initially provided by them, anytime on the portal as per need.
• The Dashboard has been envisaged as a permanent platform for ULB related data, that would be updated on a regular basis.
• The Ministry through Digital India Corporation will provide handholding support to ULBs / States in the data submission process on a need basis.
