In my opinion smart cities involves the development of our society, living life style, economic.
Growth etc. Largely smart city focuses on the development along with providing basic amenities.
Like, construction of our school, hospitals and 24/7 electricity, housing to all lower-class and.
Middle-class family.
Every country wants to develop an the step taken by our government towards making smart cities is.
One of a kind. Although every country needs smart cities of one's country development but at the.
Same time it requires smart people around who can take smart steps towards making of our society.
In India, the need for smart cities increases as India is a developing country. So the parameters.
On which India must improve are above said points as well as providing assistance to countryside.
Areas. With the due course if India succeeds in making smart cities it can improve on only its.
Social condition but also economic condition, because with the building of infrastructure the.
Private investment also increases in country.
But above all the thought which arises is that, is it that simple to make smart cities? No, our.
Government is trying hard on this step and they would face various challenges like corruption,
Basic assistance of people. Also government should think of the problems which are created by.
Smart cities like environmental problem and other state and local government problem.
It can be concluded that, the step for making 100 cities is been taken and which is good, but.
Government has to make his feet down for all the challenges and find their solutions.

In my opinion, only focus on cities to make smart is not good for balanced environment. Because by this as we see the no.of people in cities increases day by day which cause serious problem like water availability, house and many other. So if we focus how to make villages smart is better for developing country like India.

Hello friends.
The idea of smart city is good initiative towards showcasing the development of country, but in my opinion, it is against the idea of inclusive growth. Instead of focusing on specific areas and pouring money into it, its better to utilize the fund effectively for the development of entire area in a gradual manner. The communication, the education institutions, healthcare and proper arrangement of employment if provided no area can remain undeveloped. Moreover, it will stop migration of peoples and concentration over the specific cities. Development is right of every citizen if not then Smart cities would be creating only another statistics of differential index.

According to my point of view, government should focus on these problems. Like- employment problem, educational problem and poverty problem after solving this government should further go for the need of smart cities.

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, 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.

Hello Friends,
I believe that Indian need smart cities. It's a very good move to make Indian people smarter. So many things became easy since we started using information technology which was taking actually time-consuming. Like now we are not in any queue whether it is an electricity bill queue or PVR cinema ticket counter queue. All the work happening today in a second. If I am not wrong every person is enjoying the welfare of it and living their life comfortably. Not only rich people common people also started living a standardised life until the time they are aware. Yes, I completely agree it's really a great and a very important change required to make India smarter as we all are still developing country. If we'll talk about the problem of India and don't adapt the new changes so I don't think that we can ever be a developed country. We need knowledge, awareness, resources to be smarter. Nowadays everyone is using smart cell pone if they thought first fight with out normal problem and settle down in our lives so they'd have been able to stand in front of other those who are regularly using these gadgets. Now a common people also enjoy the benefits of technologies. We do chats we do video calling we became closer to the people those we not even thought of meeting with them. Everyone need to be a smarter and we need smart cities.
I can give a number of examples as there are many people who can't afford to pay to learn new things but youtube became a great resource to learn whatever you want to learn and it's like free of cost. You can up skill yourself by using the technology and it's a great move.
All normal people are also able to travel in flights due to the less cost of the flights otherwise, it would have been just a dream off.
Smart cities are very much required and I believe Indian need to have more smart cities. We should help those people those who are not aware of these important things but we should never say no to learning and also to becoming smarter.
It's a need of life.
A very honourable person said that Education is money in a different country. So increase your knowledge as much you can and help others as because if you help them you are actually serving to the country.
Knowledge is money which you can spend as much as you can and increase your bank balance of Education.

According to me.
Smart city plan is not very effective. As there will be no benefit for the people that they are living in villages. They can afford the value of smart product and services even these people are not completely aware of smart cities availability.
So it will be very important to just invest the money in agriculture sector and provide some basic amenities of life of that people in which most important is education, as per data about 26%population of our country is illiterate and instead providing smartness through education gov thinking about to make smart city.
Whatever the services that is being availed by gov should be beneficial for everyone then there will be uniform development of our country.
And one more thing that smart city as per the vision will use technology so I think it might create unemployment with the use of smart equipment and machinations service and product will be given and developed.
So as per my opinion smart city idea this time for our country should be remained just like as an idea.

As topically is about Smart Cities so let focus on What is smart cities? Smart Cities may be defined as-A city which should be equipped with basic infrastructure to give a decent quality life. So, that a city can be developed with basic structure. As per day metropolitan cities can be update day by day but rural Ares they are not till technically update. So a lot of discriminations are ongoing. So government should take necessary steps in that case. 25%people are illiterate in rural. For education sector is needed to update them. To grow up lots of banks, hospitals etc. And it is also eradicated corruption even on metro cities and rural areas as though our cities are technical update but corruption are still alive. Smart cities are not only technical update but also a develop anticorruption society. Electric must be available in each area also. Because our country is not built only some metro cities, but also a lot of semi-urban & rural sector. So government should focus on back Urban & real Ares. Lots of private & government jobs should be available due to lots of unemployment is a big danger to our society. I think if we solve these we developed not only smart cities but also a Smart India.
