MoHUA Launches The AAINA Dashboard For Cities

Context:

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) launched the ‘AAINA Dashboard for Cities’ portal.
A pioneering initiative for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across India.

It is a portal where Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across the country can participate to voluntarily submit their key data on a regular basis, through a simple, easy-to-fill, data entry form on the portal.
The primary 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
- Provide opportunities to learn and engage with frontrunners.

The Dashboard will evaluate ULBs based on indicators across five pillars:

ULBs voluntarily submit key data regularly through an easy-to-fill data entry form on the portal.
Data includes audited accounts and self-reported performance metrics.
ULBs have the flexibility to update information as needed.
Ministry, through Digital India Corporation, offers support to ULBs and states in the data submission process.
