Delhi is India's safest, most 'livable' place

Well I have spent few years in Delhi, I am nor sure about Delhi abut Delhi NCR is surely not the best and the safest place to live in.

According to the latest "livability index", the host city to the Commonwealth Games has received top ratings not only in education and economic environment but also safety and security.

The 'Livability Index 2010' is a report based on a study conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Institute for Competitiveness, India. It was released on Monday by Urban Development Secretary M Ramachandran.

The report is a result of a comprehensive survey in 37 cities, ranked on criteria of demographics, education, health and medical standards, safety, housing, socio-cultural political environment, economic environment, and natural built environment and planned environment.

While Delhi has been described as the "aspirational benchmark" for other cities in the country, Mumbai comes a close second followed by Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune in the overall ratings. However, barring Noida, other NCR cities have failed to fare well, with Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad coming in 9th, 27th, and 32nd, respectively.
