#IndoreSmartCity - Responsibility

#SmartCity mission is the mission of every citizen in every city. Every citizen (of the cities nominated in first hundred) is thrilled and optimistic to make it to the first 20; by now the concept of #SmartCity is crystal clear and so its rewards. But the most important thing is smart citizens who understand the importance of development and progress and willingly taking responsibility of making the city smart.

Indore too is in the league and is putting all its efforts online and offline to fit the bill of being a perfect city. But the biggest contribution is flowing from its people who are willingly volunteering to lift the city to the stature of being smart. In order to do so, there are certain guidelines a city needs to abide by, in order to be in the competition. Indore and its people have taken upon them to follow the guidelines and give their best effort in order to be the #IndoreSmartCity

Following are some of the Pointers:

·         Keep the City Clean: Making an effort to keep the public space and neighbourhood litter free. This in turn will prevent breeding of any kind of germs and diseases.

·         Use of Renewable Energy: It’s a known fact that natural resources are depleting and the only hope is to use renewable source of energy as much as possible. Like responsible citizen, one should avoid wasting water & electricity unnecessarily and save as much as possible.

·         Digitalisation: Time is everything and in todays fast pace life maximum work should be done online; as this will also aid in saving trees and environment.

·         Treatment of Wastage: Waste treatment refers to the activities required to ensure that waste has the least practicable impact on the environment.

·         Adoption of Eco-Friendly Habits: Avoid use of plastic, opting for e-bills and many such small steps can give birth to an eco-friendly society.

·         Development of Parks and Open Spaces: These spaces serve as recreational grounds for children, walking tracks for health conscious people and an apt space for planting trees and spreading greenery.

·         Following Traffic Rules: Traffic rules are for the safety of people and following it can save many from road mishaps.

·         Smart Parking: Proper parking space at strategic points can avoid the commotion and chaos.

·         Medical Facilities: Medical facilities should be made free for below the poverty line and government hospitals should be well maintained with adequate staff and infrastructure.

The list continues; it’s a two way process and can only be possible if both the sides help each other. The logic is simple implementation by the government and obligation by the citizens. And if this process takes place in harmony then there is no looking back. Indorians are giving their full support and the way the path is being treaded, Indore will soon be #IndoreSmartCity
