Smart cities are need of hour as they will fetch huge investment resulting into world class infrastructure and job creation which will benefit India attract FDI and pave the way for success of other schemes like Make in India and Skill India. However, schemes like PURA and RURBAN should be implemented full-fledged to minimize disparity between rural and urban India and check migration.

Yes, we need smart cities. But I want to suggest that first govt should focus on the small cities also. Because big cities are improved day by day and on the other hand small cities are not got the chance to improve their condition. So, keep balance btw all the cities.

Hie friends.

As my opinion before need of smart city, we need to some changes in rural as well as urban areas.

Firstly I want to discuss the fact that there is need of common people to be smarter towards society. Everyone creates on perception that rural areas do not become smart. It becomes if common and each individual wants to change the perception and changes the fact. Why they migrate from rular to urban they need to change the mind they also help in many possible as they can to become smart country, not village not city. If any country developing like smart cities then what happened? To those rural areas. How to growth of country increases. Yes, I agree is not easy task. But if the task is difficult then this will be more enjoyable to do this task.

Thankyou.

Before going to discuss whether it is needed or not I would like to give some idea on projects which are taken by different states on smart cities:.

1. Put up of CCTV.

2. Sewage treatment plant.

3. Biogas plants.

4. Slumbers rehabilitation project. Etc.

So, we can see that smart cities do not only benefit the higher class it is for all. Everyone's quality of life will be improved. Most importantly it is environment-friendly. The human waste will be totally processed by sewage treatment plant nd biogas plant and keep our environment clean.

SMART CITY is a really good initiatives taken by the government of India. They have shortlisted some cities and will work enough to provide easy access to everything which are generating electricity, generating water supply, good housing facility, efficient transportation.

But to do this work it will have to pass through many loopholes one of them is corruption and lack of resources. It further can lead to a vast difference between rich and poor where working class may find it difficult to reside there.

Idea is good but sufficient effort should be made to execute it successfully.

Hello everyone,

Today we all are leave in 21st century so we really need smart cities. Because in smart cities we all gets good education and many opportunities. Our prime minister start the digital India program. To make our country smart, In smart cities, all people (urban as well as villages) learn about new technology.

We agree that today we have no much resources for providing good education in village. But when we take one step then we reach the destination.

It's not right to link smart city with high rise buildings. In my opinion, a city should be termed smart city if it possess some salient features of smart city like proper sewerage and drainage system, proper town planning, proper space for playground, parks and basic amnesties required for daily life. And hence every city should be smart city and it is very much relevant.

Hi,

This is Neeraj.

Yes, We really need Smart Cities because in Smart Cities people enjoy a great standard of living in the form of enough Education Areas, Employment Agencies, Entertainment places. Medical facilities etc.

But these all aspects are possible to alive when we will do utilize all utilities surrounding us like Dustbin, Traffic rules, Enlightenment programmes.

In other hand digital helpdesk where people live a king life on internet people complete their basic works just in a while like Paying Online Electricity Bill, Telephone Bill, Taking different kinds of recharges as per their needs, Best Shopping etc. And it is possible because of Smart City concept.

And I'd also like to conclude that there are many things to do but there is only need to considerate with not lack of knowledge to be a big hand.
