Administrative efficiency, swift public grievance redressal, and accountable scheme delivery under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s governance framework have once again reshaped Uttar Pradesh’s monthly district performance scorecard. In the newly released CM Dashboard overall rankings for October 2026, Bareilly reclaimed the coveted first position across all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh, achieving an impressive composite score of 9.37 out of 10 points. Neighboring Pilibhit clinched second place statewide with 9.29 points, while Rampur secured third place with 9.12 points, cementing western Uttar Pradesh and the Rohilkhand region as the state’s standout administrative powerhouse. Powered by the National Informatics Centre’s (NIC) NexGen DARPAN platform, the monthly CM Dashboard evaluates every district objectively across development projects, revenue administration, law and order, and citizen feedback, fostering healthy competition among District Magistrates from Lucknow to Noida and Varanasi.

Bareilly Reclaims Number One Spot With 9.37 Points Under DM Avinash Singh

Bareilly’s return to the top of the state leaderboard reflects sustained administrative discipline across rural and urban blocks alike. Having consistently ranked among the top three districts in earlier monthly evaluations during 2026, Bareilly surged ahead in October with a standout score of 9.37 out of 10. Bareilly District Magistrate Avinash Singh stated that the CM Dashboard report rigorously measures districts on three core pillars: administrative efficiency, execution of development works, and revenue management.

According to District Magistrate Avinash Singh, officials across Bareilly have prioritized completing infrastructure and public welfare projects strictly within stipulated timelines without compromising construction or service quality, in direct alignment with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s governance priorities. Equally decisive in Bareilly’s top ranking has been its handling of public grievances. Rather than treating complaint disposal as a routine paperwork exercise, district departments focused on resolving citizen grievances logged on the CM Dashboard promptly and qualitatively, ensuring genuine on-ground relief so that citizens express satisfaction during verification calls.

Pilibhit Secures Second Place While Rampur Dominates Moradabad Division

Close behind Bareilly, Pilibhit delivered one of its strongest administrative performances of the year to capture second place in Uttar Pradesh with 9.29 out of 10 points. Seamless coordination between revenue officials, block development officers, and frontline welfare departments enabled Pilibhit to maintain high completion rates across flagship state and central schemes while keeping pendency in public complaint portals minimal.

Meanwhile, Rampur secured third place across Uttar Pradesh by scoring 9.12 out of 10 points—translating to an overall performance rating of 91.20 percent—in the combined category of development and revenue works. Rampur District Magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi explained that districts on the Chief Minister’s Dashboard are audited across multiple granular parameters, including timely disposal of public complaints, concrete field action taken on received petitions, the quality of citizen feedback, and physical progress in scheme implementation. At the regional level, Rampur’s consistent administrative governance delivered a remarkable milestone: the district retained the first position in the Moradabad division for the 10th consecutive month. Elsewhere within the Moradabad division, Moradabad district ranked 10th in the state, Sambhal stood at 13th, Amroha placed 45th, and Bijnor finished at 60th, reflecting varied pacing across divisional development initiatives.

Complete Top 10 List: Shahjahanpur, Lalitpur, and Baghpat Shine in October

The October 2026 CM Dashboard rankings highlighted razor-thin competition among Uttar Pradesh’s best-performing districts, with fewer than 0.38 points separating the first-ranked district from the tenth. Alongside the top three finishers from Rohilkhand, districts from Bundelkhand, Purvanchal, and western Uttar Pradesh earned prominent spots inside the state’s elite Top 10 bracket.

Notably, Shahjahanpur missed the podium by just 0.01 points to finish fourth with 9.11 points, ensuring that all four districts of the Bareilly administrative division—Bareilly, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, and Badaun’s neighbors—commanded the top four spots in Uttar Pradesh. Bundelkhand demonstrated strong governance momentum with Lalitpur securing fifth place (9.10 points) and Hamirpur taking seventh place (9.05 points), while Baghpat represented the National Capital Region belt at sixth place (9.08 points). Eastern Uttar Pradesh also made its presence felt through Ambedkar Nagar in eighth place (9.01 points) and Azamgarh in ninth place (9.00 points), before Moradabad rounded out the Top 10 at 8.99 points.

How the UP CM Dashboard Drives Accountability Across 75 Districts

Over the past nine and a half years, the Uttar Pradesh government’s emphasis on technology-enabled governance has turned the CM Dashboard into the nerve center of district-level administration. Monitoring real-time data across roughly 110 flagship schemes spanning 49 state departments, the portal tracks everything from rural road construction, drinking water connections, and PM Awas housing to land revenue mutation, electricity supply, and police responsiveness.

Because rankings are updated monthly and reviewed directly by senior leadership in Lucknow, District Magistrates and departmental heads face continuous, transparent accountability. For ordinary residents across Bareilly, Pilibhit, Rampur, Shahjahanpur, and other top-ranked districts, this data-driven governance translates into faster resolution of everyday civic issues, cleaner public service delivery, and measurable progress on the ground.
