The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has launched a survey ‘Ease of Living 2019’ to assess the progress of various cities across the country which will empower them to further plan, implement and monitor their performance.
Officials of the Urban Development and Housing Department, Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) and Ranchi Smart City Corporation Limited (RSCCL) are urging the residents of Ranchi to actively participate in the same.

About 100 of these cities are the ones where development work is being done under the smart city project while the remaining 14 are under the AMRUT scheme-Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation.
The Government will also review how schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Yojana and Swachh Bharat Mission are benefitting the society.
