Good morning to everyone.

Yes, we need smart cities because in this world there are 185 countries I think 95 countries already smart county but how. Because they change our thinking like the USA, China, Russia, England etc these county's people thinking really good they are loyal for our country and if we want smart Indian. We change s lots of think. Firstly we change our mentality after than we change our education system, some politicians, water supply and lots off think we change that's kind of problems we build our smart India and someone says that firstly we change our rural and villages. Villages And rular area allready change day-by-day smart citites is not mean tht we change traficsignales and road and education and all. There are lots off problem in India like employment if we want to make our country smart than we change our think than we definitely became our county smart and develop all so.

Thank you so much for giving this great topic. And thank our pm. Mr. Narendha Modi to stars smart cities.

According to my opinion, yes sir, wee need smart cities. Because now a days water logging in our cities is a red hot topic in our society. Water logging occurs because of lack of infrastructure and lack of future planning. Due to illegal construction. Government has brought a great idea of smart cities, where ignited mind of our country will think to make our cities smarter.

Now I want to talk about cyclone fani, which has completely destroyed our city, blackout remains 12 days in our city, but in smart cities electricity comes from underground, so by that during natural disaster we will enjoy electricity recklessly.

In smart cities we will get 24*7 internet connectivity across the city. Our people can stay connected with world.

Good Morning friends.

May I have your kind attention please?

This is Soundariya.

I would like to add on points to the topic of smart cities. As far I am concerned smart cities are needed to enrich the better life for each and every citizen. Yes, smart citizens definitely need smart cities. First and foremost, I seek smart cities in order to enhance the decrement of crime. There must be better transportation services wherever we want to go, we can't on time due to increased traffic and rate of accidents day by day. Next, the major problem is unemployment, employment should be provided for those who are in need of a job. Due to the increased population, there is no housing facilities for all so that facilities must be provided in smart cities. Poverty-stricken people must not suffer without food, free foods should be provided for them. Hospitals, schools and colleges must have very good infrastructure. Many cities have already implemented and benefitted from this smart city scheme and some cities have invested. Many cities are yet to develop. I conclude that smart cities will provide optimum usage of space and resources along with efficient distribution of benefits. Thank you for this opportunity.

Thankyou.

I introduce myself as Projjal Gop,

In my view, when we talk of an age that relies more on digitalization I believe the smart city is an immediate measure. We can all talk of manual effort but imagine a day without any computers and see the catastrophe. Smart city measure is a step taken by the government to provide better infrastructure and sanitation aids to the residents and the aim is to expand its territory over the years.

It is true that our country lacks infrastructure and the long-term planning because of which we fail in the long turn to achieve any realistic vision, but here one has to understand that in the run of votes many regions and states basically run behind the age.

When talking about the villages I would like to point out that a village's transformation depends on a neighbouring city's prosperity. Has anyone ever heard that because of villages cities run well? Villages are the hub of agrarian production whereas cities are the hub of trade business and in this setup cities gain the most as India's agrarian economy is nation based and not region based. Efforts are being taken by the govt to develop our agriculture but the recent losses triggered due to floods and heavy rain alarm that proper structural framework is required and that it has to start from cities which would generate revenues for the project. I would like to state that India today no longer depends on its agriculture resource as its lifeline, IT sector has taken it all. India now is a sleeping giant yet to dominate the world's silicon valley. So we do need digitalisation in form of smart cities which would generate more revenues to evolve our villages.

Hi guys, my self Prathap.

If you consider my personal opinion in this topic Smart cities are really required in this developing country of India and I professionally and personally feel I appreciate the plans and policies running under NDA Government because our Honorable prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi is one of the good administrator and he is well planned manner also.

OK lets talk about Smart Cities necessities in India.

Yes absolutely its required for the upcoming generation Because smart cities are Eco-friendly with environment like. Less pollution, technically dispose of garbage system and sanitary problem,

And its include Implement of wind energy, solar energy, LAN internet connection proper transport facility, proper utilization of resources and improvement of IT in the local sectors. Before implementing this Government has to think our GDP level to invest to these smart cities our GDP is only 7.2 percent now moreover it has to focus Literacy rates are very less India here proper education for all the people of the country its take a grate role here because most of the people don't know about using of technology, make in India, Made in India and Digital India schemes so government has to create a awareness about that and with different programmes, yes this is the point is really required because without knowing the knowledge how we can use the facility, then before implement this smart cities Government has to solve the unemployment issues with attract the foreign investment moreover Government has to fulfill the basic needs for the poor people.

So, finally I can come into conclude the topic this is not the right time to Implement the plan it will take a longer time to establish with proper manner.

Yes, we do need a smart city. But first, we need to focus on rural areas where development is must for the overall development of the country. Our country has a number of villages which needs to be provided with basic amenities to fulfill their daily needs. Once the villages are upgraded we will surely become a developed nation making all the cities smart and a better place to live in.

In my opinion, at the present time there are much more things that need our attention.

About half of the population of India residing in villages, jhuggis, we really need to think is having a smart city justifiable.

Instead of investing money to form smart cities, we should rather need to develop villages and provide basic requirements for a healthy living for the people living in those villages. Developing smart cities will abridge the gap between the holistic development of India as a nation. We have to understand that our farmers from whom we get to satisfy our stomach are mostly the residents of the village and thus their development will lead to the development of village as a whole. So, we should find out ways to develop villages to form Cities rather than forming cities into smart cities.

I think we don't require smart cities at the right now situation. There are problems which really need to solve the backbone of a nation that is former they are still having many problems. First, those need to be resolved first then we should look out for smart cities. You know the one who gives food to the nation is dying today. Debt problems and recently many formers have suicided because of this. So, I think this should be the prime concern of the government. The government has to look after this. Then we need smart cities.

The science and technology are important of all country. The many people are aware about in smart city but they are not follow rules and regulations.

Thank You.

According to me, yeah; we really need smart cities. Firstly everyone have to clear this thing that smart city means not only make our streets clean. Smart city means everything has to be connected with network smartly i.e. if we talk about solar energy system, water pollution, traffic jam, air pollution, noise pollution, development process, transportation system, Information system etc each and every field will be work smartly with networking system. Smart city means you get more and more value of work at the less effort. Everything will be done in easy way like transaction, bill payment, tracking the status of visa, getting the location, any type of service etc. But for making smart city, we have to invest large amount of money in millions or billions but after one time investment, city will save almost $19 billion money as compare the current position. After making our city as a smart city it will be ideal city for other cities. At the present time, 31% people are belong to urban areas but after making our city as a smart city this ratio will be automatically increase. So we really need smart cities.
