Quality City

In an endeavour to achieve an AtmaNirbhar Bharat in this Amrit Kaal, QCI aims to develop a holistic quality ecosystem by ensuring that quality consciousness permeates to the grassroots level. The Quality City Mission is a collaborative initiative that puts Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the centre stage & makes them the key drivers of enhancing the quality of life through initiatives focused on three key themes: Mission Skilling, Mission Clean City, and Mission Education.

Trends over the past decade have highlighted that Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will be key pillars of the growth trajectory of the country. With that in mind, Nashik, one of the fastest-emerging cities, is the first chapter of the Quality City Mission. A first-of-its-kind Memorandum of Understanding was entered into in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at the Sahyadri Guest House (Mumbai) on 9th May 2023 in order to create India’s first template of a city that achieves the maximum for the quality of life of its residents.

A successful model for quality across the identified sectors will be established in Nashik, which can then be scaled and implemented across cities based on local contours with a focus on situational analysis of each of the sectors to understand the present scenario, identification of bottlenecks and potential challenges, and on-ground implementation support
