JCGA Event Report

Commemorate significant advancements in urban decentralization through the distinguished platform of the Janaagraha City Governance Awards. Established as a tribute to the revered Mr V Ramachandran, these awards serve to honour pioneering endeavours undertaken by governmental entities across various administrative strata. Against the backdrop of burgeoning urbanization and the projected urban population surge to 50% by 2050, these awards stand as a testament to the pivotal strides made in governance paradigms. The second iteration of the awards showcases laureates and contenders within five distinct categories, with a meticulous evaluation of 29 curated initiatives. This evaluation encompasses a spectrum of critical facets, encompassing the degree of decentralization achieved, community integration, and the tenets of sustainability. As we collectively acknowledge these achievements, we cast a spotlight on initiatives that catalyze efficacious urban governance throughout the expanse of India.
