It aims to provide inclusive and equitable cities where all citizens have access to basic civic and social services. Recognizing the critical need for skilled personnel, these guidelines outline the capacity-building framework under RAY to empower states and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Context and Need<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Various reports and studies have highlighted the lack of skilled urban professionals and institutional capacity within ULBs. The scheme\u2019s guidelines are designed to address these shortcomings by building capacity at both state and city levels. They aim to bridge the gaps in financial, social, and governance capacities, which often limit ULBs from steering effective urban development. The scheme aims to equip urban practitioners with specialized knowledge and experiential learning needed to tackle urban challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" style=\"text-align:
