The not for profit group is headed by former Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman K Kasturirangan and the report had highlighted that the states have been ranked on governance performance based on a composite index in the context of sustainable development. 

The report was published in the Public Affairs Index-2020 released by the group in Bangalore on Friday and as per the report, Kerala has been named as the best-governed state in the country while Tamil Nadu has been ranked second in the category of the best-governed states.
