#IndoreSmartCity - Awareness

#IndoreSmartCity project is gradually catching the momentum. People in the city are acknowledging the importance of this mission and coming forward to contribute their views, ideas and aspirations. Meanwhile the #IndoreSmartCity team is working round the clock to spread the word and involve the maximum population in the project. As the citizen engagement is an important factor in the entire project. It’s crucial to take aid of online and offline media to let the people know what measures are been taken to compete with other cities and spread the awareness at the same time.

#IndoreSmartCity had organised an online contest on Twitter, on 10^th, 11^th and 13^th October with the tweets reach of 17K+. The idea was to let people across the globe know about #IndoreSmartCity, in the first contest tweeples were asked to use the same hashtag and tweet their expectation and what they wanted to see in developed and smarter Indore. Second contest was a quiz and third was simple cricket updates of the match that was played at Indore Stadium. Response for all the three was overwhelming. There was also online essay competition for all citizens of the city, the topic was “Mere Sapno ka Sheher-Indore” the idea was to get the nerve of the expectations people have from the city. And it was a fabulous event as the idea which has been poured is well thought. As far as offline promotion is concerned, a painting competition for all school students in the city was organised on 16^th October 2015. Again, the enthusiasm was no less and the response was much more than expected. The respected governor is keeping the tab on each and every activity and is actively involved at every step of planning.
