The Quality Council of India (QCI) has introduced the QCI Surajya Recognition & Ranking Framework.
Key points
It is designed to drive excellence among states to improve quality of life of citizens for a Viksit Bharat.
This framework is categorized under four pillars: Shiksha (Education), Swasthya (Health), Samriddhi (Prosperity), and Sushasan (Governance).
The Surajya Recognition acknowledges the outstanding performance and commitment to quality by states and organisations in these vital areas.
The August 2024 rankings focus on Shiksha, Swasthya, and Samriddhi, with Sushasan to feature in future editions.
In the Shiksha Rankings, Uttar Pradesh leads with the highest number of accreditations, assessments, and ratings.
In the Samriddhi category, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan lead with the highest number of ZED certifications, particularly in the Micro category.
The QCI Surajya Recognition & Ranking Framework, beginning with the August 2024 rankings, sets a new benchmark for excellence across the nation.
