NEW DELHI: States will now be ranked on the basis of their performance in the social sector, including health and education.
The move, initiated by Niti Aayog, is aimed at encouraging states to compete among themselves and improve social sector indicators as there is growing realisation that performance in health, nutrition and education has not kept pace with the country's economic growth.
A senior official said as the states are the implementing agency for welfare schemes costing around Rs three lakh crore every year, the ratings will nudge them to perform.
To begin with, the focus is on ranking of health and nutrition as Niti Aayog has designed a framework to measure incremental improvement in states' performance in this sector.
An official said the Aayog+ will engage third party, likely to be World Bank, for measuring the states' performance in the health sector.
He said, "The annual ranking exercise aimed at providing states with the opportunity to improve their ranking from one year to the next."
"The rating process is likely to start from August 15 and the first ranking could be out in three months," NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said after a meeting of the body with chief secretaries of all states.
"Real time data will be available on the portal developed by the Aayog and states would be ranked based on the progress made on the indices to be worked out," Kant said.
Once the real-time monitoring system is in place, the Aayog is likely to link disbursal of funds to a state with its performance on crucial indices.
To give a push to infrastructure and manufacturing sector, the Centre has also initiated the process to rank states on the ease of doing business.

Its been a long time coming, but we will finally be getting up to date data on states performance in social aspects and promotion of competition so improvement can be made quickly.
