The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has achieved the #13 rank in the SKOCH State of Governance 2021 Report Card. The Top 5 states are classified as ‘Star States’. The next 5 states are classified as ‘Performer States’. The next five states are listed in the ‘Catching Up’ category. The remaining states are catalogued as ‘Others’.
