Press Release: Public Affairs Index (PAI) 2021

The Public Affairs Index is the annual assessment of the adequacy and quality of Governance in the States of India. On the basis of a Composite Index, the States are ranked on Governance performance. PAI 2021 is a non-partisan, independent and evidence-based study using only Central Government Data available in the public domain. A unique feature of the Public Affairs Index is that it eradicates subjective biases in computation of the Index i.e. the results thus generated are computer generated using the scientifically rigorous methodology of Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
