The case studies of the Mission cities i.e. Kochi and Thiruvananihapuram give the detailed analysis of the ground realities about the M ission projects and the challenges laced in various stages of Mission implementation. Besides, the author suggests policy initiatives through which the functioning of iliac Mission can be improved.
