We are in need of smart cities. When we wait for the change in the mindset of people definitely nothing will happen. So when we start to educate the merits of smart cities in school itself, atleast future generation will taste the fruits of this scheme. And government should create awareness through the educational institutions which will provide net good results. Apart from creating awareness through only Ads we will try to implement this in a different way. For example through a short film, which describes its merits, consequences of that particular scheme. So that people can understand in a very beter way and they will join hands to make this effort as a most successful one.

Hello friends, my name is Manali. And in my opinion, yes, of course, we need smart cities as India is a developing country. But I think not now, and after 4-5 years. Because before that we should think to developed those areas where people are still leaving on the footpath and alongside to tracks and we should give some contribution to developed those children who sell something in trains or at signals and they not go to schools. When all the people will be enough capacity to live in their own house n when no one will beg to live their life then only we should move to smart cities. Because then only our country is called developed and not when only some part of it is developed.

Do we really need smart cities? the answer is yes, we need smart cities but in my point of views Firstly, the government should require rectifying the problem of this sewage system, the problem of transportation, the problem of the traffic system, the problem of electricity and another local problem. And then educate the people's about the well colonize person. If government & people couldn't rectify these problems then their no value of big buildings, Metro's, subways. Take an example in the monsoon season the sewage system failure after the rain. And I am local of UP 99% people doesn't flow the traffic rules. Then without solving these problems, how to make smart cities.

Well, we need to have our smart cities. As we want India to be among developed nations, we need to know what hinders us. We lack in education thanks to a financial gap in our people.

The Financial gap will be recovered by providing jobs. Smart city skim will definitely serve that purpose to a large. In addition to it there must be a parallel program for making people know about technical advancement in banking, communication etc. Of course, the smart city does not mean only skyscraper buildings, good transportation, and communication but also a good education to its people. So smart city will do good if it is followed by some technical education or awareness program.

Thanks.

Hello, guys.

As we all know that India is a developing nation and is facing problems like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, etc. We are not in a position to spend our national income on projects like Smart Cities at this critical stage of our economy.

The main aim of our country should be to eradicate all these problems rather than spending on such activities which are completely futile at this point of time.

Moreover, the illiterate masses of our nation don't even understand the concept of smart cities, so our aim should be to increase literacy. When our country will be fully developed in all these sectors then we should head towards making our cities smart.

Thank you.

First, we should focus on the basic needs of the society. In our country, farmers are dying because they can't pay the debt, children are suffering from malnutrition, in many cities, people don't have the adequate supply of drinking water, the condition of Indian railways is too pathetic for travelling in general class etc.

So instead of focusing on smart city government should focus on the clean and green city where people have access to basic amenities, education, drinking water security for the girls etc. Finally, people should also be smart so that they do not throw garbage here and there and government should focus on smart village instead of the smart city.

First of all, I'll like to clarify what actually a smart city means. Building a smart city does not only mean the construction of hospitals, schools, better transportation, better management system etc.

It also means using advanced technologies to govern all the above-stated amenities. It involves the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to make a direct communication between the government and the citizens.

As cities do already have many hospitals, educational institutions, roads etc. The task is to maintain them so that they can benefit the citizens in a more reasonable way.

And that can be achieved by transforming cities into smart cities.

Hi.

I think Smart cities play a vital role in the development of any country. They replicate Strength and development of a country. Smart cities include technical development, cleanliness, automobile usage. Any country to be in this competitive world should have at least some smart cities to be in a good position. These cities can decide the life of posterity in future whether to be in an advanced forward or backwards compared to the others.

There are some adverse effects because of these smart cities development. Remote and rural areas surveillance will be reduced and demolished. As to get something good we need to sacrifice something for our bright future.

Hello every one.

My name is amit, our topics is do we really need smart cities, It is need of 20th century.

That our cities should be smart, according to me, Smart cities means not only cleaniness on roads and good transportation facilities etc but also creating discipline among people that smart cities should be maintained like smart. But half of the India s population lives in rural areas they should be developed with thier basic needs first such as 24*7 electricity and water supply and good roods for connectivity.

Hence I conclude by saying that smart cities is need of modern india, with balance on the development of rural areas should not be neglected.

Well according to me, developing country like India should focus on the primary needs first. The Majority of the population lives in the villages. Most of them do not have even basic needs like roads, electricity, water supply, food and education. So rather than spending thousand of crore to make few smart city, the main target should be to improve the condition of villages, so that India develop evenly.

Secondly, our country is working on bullet trains, and the condition of the life line that is railways is getting worse day by day. Similarly rather than spending a huge amount of money to built bullet train, we should improve our railway and road system.
