Very morning to all.

From my point of view, we need more smart villages instead of smart cities, so that less amount of crowd from villages move to the cities, people's are leaving their hometowns just for the sake of earning money, but what if we provide them in their areas only.

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.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, smart cities & villages project will be executed parallelly.

These are some advantage of working on smart cities parallel to the smart village.

*We build up tourist place in smart cities and gain more money by tourists. This money can spend on developing the village.
*By making smart cities, urban people also inspire by them & want to be a smart citizen. As we know that any city become smart by its citizen so we can easily build up the desire to will be become a smart city.

Thank you.

Definitely we need a smart cities because we want some technological developments. It helps us to gaining a profitable country. It control all the surroundings also and keep nature in regular way. Mainly the smart cities are giving good education systems for back ward peoples. Many people get a employment opportunities behalf of this smart city system. So in my point of view this is very good for all developing countries. Thank you.

Yeah we definetly needs Smartcities it will be helpful in many ways I will explain that in diffrent steps.

Number one is Water management will be improved like it will be helpful in detecting quality of water, any leakage taking place, smart preventions to save it.

Number two is Mobility. In this we can easily manage traffic system, parking problems etc.

Number three is Energy. We can produce energy from new energy sources like wind mills, solar energy, heat, water etc.

Number four waste management. Waste management will become easy so wherever dustbins are full it will directly be detected from control room.

In last it will improve information and communicatin technology in urban services like in railway tickets, cab booking etc.

Information and communication technology means everything we use to communicate with the help of technology like mobile phones etc.

Hello, guys.

From my point of view, all of us wants that our city to be smart. But as we know that India is a developing country and major population of a country is illiterate. If the city is smart it is a waste for the major population. Because village people today don't know how to operate a smartphone. So as my point of view it is useless to make city smarter first.

First step to literate major population. Provide them training to operate a digital product. Govt has to take initiative to make the country developed first then make a city smarter.

#pdega India to bdega India.

#if teach Indian then India grows easily.

Yes, we really need smart cities because smart cities mean advancement of technologies, economic growth of individual, pollution free cities as we all talking about clean India. If we consider the present situation of India we'll see that in summer most of the states are affected by flood (eg. Assam, Bihar etc). Moreover, in India, more than 30% people are in below poverty line. That implies that our government is unable to solve the basics problems of our country. So I think instead of focusing on making smart city government of India should focus on solving these vital problems right now.

At first we need to know, what is the actual meaning of smart city, what is our role in making our city to smart city, and how we can? As we know, still India is ranked in developing country, actually not even in only my mind but this question is arising in mind of every citizen of India that when India will knowing as a developed country. To convert this imagination in reality, India really need smart city to enhance its global and development. Like Bhubaneswar is the first smart city but guys many people don't even know that their own city is a smart city, so I would suggest this should not be the condition in India. So for this, Government should take effective policies to make people educate and then smart. Many parts of northern India which is still suffering from unemployment and poorness and where illiterate persons are more than educated person even they don't know how to use smart phones. So firstly its responsibility of Indian government are to give attention toward this because if people will smart obviously city will be smart.

Hello, guys.

Firstly, I would like to take your attention towards the fact that India is a developing country, where its a very big population live in the villages or rural areas. And most of them do farming as their occupation. We are also very known by the fact that the condition of farmers is not good in our country. They are mostly on debt. Their economical condition is not good. Their lives are so burst that they are commiting suicide. So here a question arises to us that Is it fair to go for the smart city projects where it requires a lot of big investments ?

I think it is not fair. Although "the smart city project " can grow up our country status, it can take our country towards the Developed status but it also creates a big gap between urban and rural.

I think the government should invest on the "the smart village project" rather than "the smart city project". It should provide the latest technologies, good academic facilities, etc.

By such type of initiative so that a big population get benefited to it. And also these initiatives can also take our country to the list of the "developed countries".

"THANK YOU".

As per my point of view, Modiji should focus on the cities which are still underdeveloped than jumping into the huge step of making 100 smart cities. At the current scenario, it not too necessary for that plan!
