Explanation:

Smartnet is an initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to support the development of cities across India and to create a resource-rich ecosystem of learning, sharing and disseminating for city managers and primary stakeholders in the urban transformation of India.
A data entry portal and a monitoring dashboard for real time update on progress (on Ease of Living Index) was established. Apart from presenting the overall national ranking of 111 cities, the dashboard will present ranking of the cities across pillars, category, geographical zone and population classifications. The dashboard will also have a comparison feature that will allow users to analyse the performance across cities on various liveability parameters.
