• The Public Affairs Centre has developed PAI as a unique statistical tool to evaluate the performance of governance in the States.
• According to the PAC, the governance performance is analysed in the context of sustainable development defined by three pillars of equity, growth and sustainability.
• The index ranks States based on governance performance giving a composite index in the context of sustainable development. 
• It is a data driven platform to rank the 30 States of India from the lens of governance.
• It is largely based on secondary data and has been extracted from Union Government Ministries and Departments.
