I think they sampled only one city from every state (Noida from UP, Gurgaon from Haryana, Indore from MP etc.). As Mumbai is already included from Maharashtra, Pune was left out.
It must be noted that the ranking does NOT include infrastructure or else Bhubaneswar’s would certainly not have ranked No. 3.
Here’s an interview of IFC VP, Penelope Brook. She mentions Bhubaneswar thrice:

Nevertheless it is very good news. Bhubaneswar is being reformed faster than other cities under the strong leadership of our CM, Naveen Patnaik.

In India Kashmir to Kanyakumari mentality of all citizens is the same and people are not aware of their rights and duties towards others. Nobody think about his nation, patriotism has been abolished in the minds of Indians. To keep in mind welfare of all- Ludhiana Welfare Organization launched a website http://www.rtiludhiana.com with a view to promote RTI and make the people aware of the provisions and potential of the RTI Act so that the people could use it and contribute to making the system transparent and accountable.
