3. Human Resource Development,
4. Public Health,
5. Public Infrastructure and Utilities,
6. Economic Governance,
7. Social Welfare and Development,
8. Judicial and Public Security,
9. Environment and
10. Citizen-Centric Governance.

• These ten Governance Sectors are measured on a total 50 indicators.

The states and UTs are divided into three groups:

1. Big States,
2. North-East & Hill States and
3. UTs

• The states and UTs are ranked on all indicators separately, at the same time composite ranking is also calculated for these states and UTs under their respective groups based upon these indicators.
