Hi friends,

Yes, we need smart cities but before smart cities, we need to create a job for a people. When there is unemployment then how we developed smart cities. When we cross the hurdle of unemployment then automatically its effect on our society. And unemployment is removed by better learning. So, there a relation between all the things if we get education well then employment is not there, then people not below a poverty line and its support to making smart cities.

Hi everyone,

At present, India is developing country and people are becoming more educated. Now we really need smart cities. But before thinking about smart cities think about smart people. For ex: In some states, people are fighting with each other because of religion. People should change themselves then only we need smart cities otherwise, we don't need it. Because if the government built the smart cities, but people are not smart then it is of no use this means simply wasting the money and time. In rural areas, people are more poverty than urban areas. The government Should provide more facility like building new schools and washrooms to them. There is more scarcity of water all over the country first the government Should focus on it and then it can think about smart cities.

Hi friends,

Definitely, we need smart cities because it will be going to improve our nation. To make country smart firstly we should concentrate on education. Education is more important in both cities as well as villages. Everyone should get an education. Then only we can make our nation smart.

Yes, We really need smart cities.

I agree with all of you, that before making the city smart, we should try to make the people smart and villages smart but if we keep waiting to be every people smart and every village smart the country which is developing with us will overtake us soon and they will become developed. So smart cities are important.

Hi friends.

I do have a different opinion on smart cities. India has been developing in fields like sports, science, space and technology. But the major problems have been poverty and unemployment. There are lots of villages in India which lack basic resources like transport, hospitals, proper house and an hygienic environment. Action should be taken against such issues first rather than building up smart cities. Looking into future is good but neglecting the present situation will lead to more havoc in the country. Let villages get developed by providing proper roads and the government should spend a good amount in educating people who are unaware of schemes put forward to them. Missions like swatch Barat and building toilets have boosted they hygienic rates of the country. First, we should develop the village to be smart and parallelly should look upon smart cities. Cities have their basic needs while villages whose main source of employment is agriculture which has always been the backbone of India should be looked upon as it has seen a great decline in production in years passed by.

Living smart and thinking smart will help conserve Indian culture rather than showing to the world that India has smart cities regretting the fact that India also has numerous poor and unsophisticated villages.

Thank You.

Good Morning Everyone,

Yes, We really need smart cities.
I agree with all of you, that before making the city smart, we should try to make the people smart and villages smart but if we keep waiting to be every people smart and every village smart the country which is developing with us will overtake us soon and the will become developed.

So, in my opinion, govt should focus on to make people smart but at the same time to make a smart city.

No, we really need smart cities we need smart peoples and good culture which makes a city a smart city. The Smart city is never born, it has to made by hard work and various struggles. If the government tries to make a city smart but people these cities don't know how to use those resources, then the city is no more called a smart city.

India wants to be a superpower, but first, it has to get into the list of developed countries. The conditions of lots of cities of India is worse. They don't even have proper hygiene facilities, educational facilities, full of pollution and a lot more. And we are talking about smart cities! First, these things should be taken care of, if India gets these problems solved then we can think of smart cities, but first we need good cities.

I mean - "What Is The Use Of Wearing A Tie If You Don't Have A Shirt On Your Body First".

To be the "BEST" you have to be the "GOOD" first. It is the part of the journey. You can't directly become the best.
