Jagran.com– the Hindi news and information website of Jagran New Media has announced the findings of its city liveability survey under their citizen connect initiative – 'My City, My Pride'. The survey was undertaken in conjunction with KPMG as the Process Advisors & Evaluators and International Centre for Journalists (ICFJ) as the Knowledge Partner. Facebook has partnered this initiative as a presenting sponsor and has supported the program by promoting citizen-led communities, where issues pertaining to each city are raised and solved.

The campaign was launched to measure and drive the development of cities in an interactive way through public participation. With growing development, rapid industrialization and influx of people, there was a need to quantify the liveability of emerging cities and take timely corrective actions. The key objective of the campaign was to produce data-driven insights that will help raise citizen awareness and generate ideas of change through collaboration leading to an actionable plan for the development of cities.
