Faridabad Hindustan ab tak/Dinesh Bhardwaj : 10 July ‘Ease of Living’ as a term has no standard definition. For some, it is fundamentally tied to physical amenities such as water supply, solid waste management, parks and green space etc.; for others it relates to cultural offerings, career opportunities, economic dynamism or safety. For these reasons it is directly or indirectly also linked to number of schemes and initiatives of the Government which ultimately aims to meet the needs and aspirations of the people.
It will help cities systematically assess themselves against global and national benchmarks and encourage them to shift towards an ‘outcome-based’ approach to urban planning and management.
Keeping in view the importance of the subject the IQAC in Collaboration with Innovation Cell of DAV Institute of Management, Faridabad organised a Webinar on Ease of Living – “The Goal of Citizen Centric Governance” on 10th July 2020 from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. The webinar was attended by around 500 participants.
