Hi,
As the topic says 'Smart Cities', there is already one thing developed in the country, that is 'Cities'. But why not the government think smartly and concentrate on developing the other part of the nation that is 70% of Indian population where people are still lacking basic amenities such as food, cloth, and shelter. Hence in my point of view, investing the capital for making smart cities does not improve in any way, rather it improves only the already improved areas.

Hi,
Smart cities are an initiative step taken by Indian government but smart cities are not just needed to change or make our nation a developed one, we need much more. They are for good infrastructure, Smart solutions, and small much more like that. We all know that smart cities can not only have advantages, but we also get disadvantages front this like 1) dump administration where we see corruption, 2) unable to afford it means one rich takes the advantages of smart cities but not poor.
WE NEED SMART CITIES WITH SMART LAWS.

I think smart cities are needed for developing the country as well as providing better services like better sculpture, colleges, hospitals etc.
But in my view, in place of developing cities, we can concentrate on villages because in some villages basic facilities are not there for eg. If someone is suffering from a big disease they have to run cities because there is no facility in the hospital.
So instead of making India look good we should give importance to the public and make sure that the basic facilities are reachable to each and every Indian.

It's true that smart cities will provide better infrastructure, services to citizens. But it will be in vain if people are not smart enough to use them properly. Under the current situation, not everyone of us knows how to use available services properly. So it is essential to make people smart first. In my opinion, smart people make a city smart but the converse is hardly true.

Smart Cities are really needed in INDIA because if the cities will get developed so this shabby work will not be there in the village but for this lot of money is required.

Yes, It needs for the present hour. Because it's one of most important thing for any country to become a developed nation. Even after getting independence we don't even have one smart city this show we are developing at snails pace. Since it's very costly the returns would also be good. And, also we are at the start so we should start with one city and analyze and move accordingly.

Earlier Smart city Mission has been implemented in various cities like Stockholm (Sweden), Suwon (south Korea), Singapore etc only when people there are able to understand the need and use of Smart cities.
One of the basic things in the Smart city mission is the combining Internet of things and ICT and the computer literacy of India is only 6.3% due to which they will not understand the use of Smart Cities. So, smart cities require Smart people and Government should work on both of it.

NEED is a strong word but yes we can look forward to at least work to attain its half proportion. Besides the Indian government needs to solve its basic problems such as poverty, education, agriculture, relations with Pakistan, etc. To make India have smart cities would be difficult but not impossible. As making the society go cashless has not arrived at its full potential because of the lack of education among most people.

In my opinion, before making smart cities we should be smart so that government should also work on people development. I think smart people can make a city smart but the reverse is not possible therefore before making cities smart government should also work on improving digitalisation. Increasing computer literacy rate so that they can use the service provided.

Yes, we need smart cities but at a later stage. In present scenario there are still many problems which we have to fight with. Before smart cities we need to educate people about internet. There are still many people who doesn't even know about internet. There are many villages where electricity is not available for even 16 hours.
