List of safest cities

The National Annual Women’s Safety Report and Index (NARI) 2025 report described Kohima, Visakhapatnam, Bhubaneswar, Aizawl, Gangtok, Itanagar and Mumbai as the safest city for women in India. For this, the main factor has been described as strong gender equality, civil participation, police system and women-friendly infrastructure.

Names of most unsafe cities

Ranchi, Srinagar, Kolkata, Delhi, Faridabad, Patna and Jaipur have been placed at the bottom in terms of women’s safety in the National Annual Women Safety Report and Index. The reason for this is the factors such as weak institutional reaction, patriarchal norms and lack of urban infrastructure.

Where is the lowest security feeling?

The National Annual Women Safety Report and Index 2025 report said that in this survey, 6 out of 10 women have said to feel safe in their city. However, 40 percent of women still consider themselves “not as safe” or “unsafe”. Information has been revealed in the survey that there has been a huge decline in the perception of feeling safe at night, especially in public transport and entertainment sites.
