With the increase in population, the demand for automation is also increasing. Nowadays people want a comfortable life.

The lack of facilities like electricity, ATM, Internet Connections, Etc. , in the rural areas have become a point to ponder.

Due to this, people from the rural areas are shifting to urban areas which leads to the problem of urbanization. The people are migrating from one place to the another in search of a better way of living. Nevertheless, this effects and creates the problematic situations in urban areas where people have to suffer due to the migration of more people.

Instead of focusing on cities, one should make people living in villages be aware of a different kind of smart technology.

Till now many villages in India don't get the proper power supply.

Two-third of the villages in India still don't have a proper education system.

The government should take proper actions to fulfil the basic requirement of people living in rural areas.

Yes, indeed we need smart cities. But the question is that how these cities can be made it's not a one day process. In fact, the famous thinker of Greece (Yunan) "Plato" clarified that smart people make the smart cities in his theory of an Ideal State. So again the big question rises here how People become smart? So there is no rocket science for people getting smarter just there need if a man just follows simple rules and regulations that will make him smarter and city automatically become smart. As we take the example of Indore Madhya Pradesh we see that with the integrated efforts of public and administration the planning came into effect resulting the district topped the list of a clean city. So main focus should we develop smart thinking situation such projects became reality.

In my opinion, the people who live in India should be smart, if the people who live in India will become smart the city will automatically become the smart city.

I am not saying that the smart city should not be their in the India all I am saying is if the people of the city are illiterate and not smart to handle the digital gadgets then then there would be no sense of having smart city in India.

In my opinion, the smart city not only full facilities.

Like smart roads, street lights etc.

But coming of the smart city we lose farming.

So, first, we think about the farmers and then think about the smart city.

Every people can be done her work with a proper manual then automatically our city can become the smart city.

According to me, yes, of course, we need smart cities. But before that we should think our basic needs that should be fulfilled, why we are running for bullet trains and all, our India is agriculturally based that's why we only focussing things which are beneficial for these. Also we can adopt technology according to need. We should develop technology we required not other. Some countries are very advanced in technology, we can't beat them before going through our basic needs. First off all literacy is required for that we should first work on it when we talk about the advanced which are required for quality development.

I think no. Because India is a developing country large number of people have facing lots of problem for daily life like food. Poorness smart cities may be 2nd step. But first, it is necessary to aware the people about it. Teach them properly how to improve thier life which must be help in such situations when their cities became a smart City.

Good morning everyone.

Today We are here to discuss the topic of the 'scope of smart City in India'.

Dear friends smart City mission started by our government in 2015. And in this mission make India's city smart. And a really smart City is very beneficial for us. On the one side, It gives many facilities like transportation facilities, hospital facilities, education facilities, and many more.

On the other side, it is harmful to the environment because when we establish a smart City then we will cut down trees. Smart Cities are not made for poor people because they do have not too much money to live in smart cities.

So, firstly the government should make villages smarter and then cities.

THANK YOU.

Idea for smart city is like buying cakes fir the rich when the poorer lot is sleeping empty stomach. The concept of smart city is concerned only about a particular section of the society. Problems of unemployment, health, education still loom large and hence need to be focused first. Once they come in proper order rest will follow suit. It should b a bottom-up approach. Development should be for all sections and not just of upper and middle strata of the society.

Yes, according to me, we required smart cities. This is one of the steps towards the development of the country. India is populated country, so for getting the facilities to each and every person smart city is required. With help smart city development many people get employment which will help to improve the economic status of the country. Smart city will help to improve the lifestyle of our people.

But before the development of the city, our government should develop the villages as a smart village. According to our great leader, Mahatma Gandhi moving toward development of village will help to develop the country and city.

I believe a smart city is not necessary but compulsory. For reach that goal we need to spread information the real value of the smart city. We need to work on the main aspect which is education. India is a country where the standard of living of people is unequal. The Government must focus on these problems, then definitely we can convert our cities into smart cities but only in the long run.
