The urban rot in metropolitan cities can be tackled only if they have an efficient and responsible municipal administration and sufficient funds are allocated by the Central and State Governments to improve civic infrastructure. Simultaneously, the Government should also aim at providing good quality civic amenities in smaller cities so that people do not have to migrate to metropolises in search of a better life. Thereafter, efforts can be made to generate jobs in smaller places. Decentralisation of Government offices from capital cities could kickstart job creation in small cities.
