MUMBAI: The women and child development department took top honours, while three departments headed by the chief minister and his two deputies found themselves at the bottom of the scorecard that evaluated the performance of government departments competing in the ambitious 100-day administrative reform programme of the Devendra Fadnavis government.

A total of 48 departments were evaluated by the Quality Council of India (QCI), an autonomous body set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, for their performance during the first 100 days of the new Mahayuti alliance government, which took office in December last year.

The idea was to improve the administrative machinery, enhance transparency and accountability, and ensure all-round better governance.
