Highlights of India Today –2nd December 2019 issue: This week’s issue puts the spotlight on the annual India Today SOS survey. The India Today-MDRA State of the States SOS survey indicates just how well our states are doing, particularly in this changed landscape. Now in its 18th edition, the annual SOS survey’s robust methodology is designed to rank the states based on exhaustive and most relevant data, covering aspects that are crucial to foster competitiveness among states and enhance the true spirit of India’s federal structure. States were ranked under two broad groups—‘best performing’, indicating the latest performance of a state specific to the category using the most recent data across multiple parameters, and the ‘most improved’, indicating improvement in the state over the past five years. The issue also delves into several recent issues of importance in the Up Front section.
