Livability Index: Pune Most Livable City, Rampur is the Worst

NEW DELHI: According to the ranking of 111 major cities on livability index released by the urban affairs ministry. Pune, Navi Mumbai and Greater Mumbai are the most livable cities, While the three cities from Maharashtra have made it to the top 10 list, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, which have high number of big cities, could not make it to the first 10.

The capital cities of poll-bound Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have found place in the top 10. Rampur in Uttar Pradesh is at the bottom of the list.

This is the first-ever exercise undertaken by the government to rank cities on their "ease of living" parameters. Though initially there was plan to cover 116 cities, both 100 smart cities and those with more than one million population. Four cities - Howrah, New Town Kolkata and Durgapur - did not participate in the survey. Moreover, Naya Raipur and Amaravati did not fit into the parameters as these are Greenfield cities.
