A #SmartCity

City can only move ahead if there is Development and progress not only in theory but in practical as well. With this high pace world it has become mandatory to keep the speed and be in the league. Understanding the need of the hour and realizing the importance of progress, our honourable Prime Minister came up with plan of 100 smart cities across the country.

A smart city uses digital technologies to enhance quality and performance of urban services, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Sectors that have been developing smart city technology include government services, transport and traffic management, energy, health care, water and waste. Smart city applications are developed with the goal of improving the management of urban flows and allowing for real time responses to challenges. A smart city council has been set up which is part of the US-based Smart Cities Council, which is a consortium of smart city practitioners and experts, with a 100-plus member and advisor organizations operating in over 140 countries.

After government announced the guidelines, states were asked to nominate names of cities for the ‘City Challenge Competition’ and the chosen ones are getting Central fund of Rs 100 crore each year for 5 years. A matter of immense pride, that Indore is one of the cities chosen from Madhya Pradesh by the state government.
