The dashboard evaluates districts across the state on critical parameters including the implementation of government schemes, basic development works, and execution of key projects.
Top Performers in the December Rankings
The December rankings revealed a tight race at the top. Bareilly district clinched the first position with an impressive overall score. It was closely followed by Lakhimpur Kheri and Shahjahanpur, which were tied for the second spot. The districts of Sonbhadra and Shravasti secured the third and fourth positions, respectively, showcasing a competitive landscape of development across the state.
Administrative Focus Drives Bareilly's Success
Bareilly's District Magistrate, Avinash Singh, attributed this achievement to a concentrated and systematic administrative approach. He stated that the district administration has been prioritizing basic infrastructure, public welfare schemes, and government projects. "Regular meetings and rigorous monitoring with district officials ensure these schemes are effectively executed on the ground," Singh explained.
This focused strategy translated into a stellar performance score. Bareilly scored 9.27 out of a possible 10 points in the combined development and revenue categories.
