Do we really need Smart Cities?

Smart city mission was launched by our honourable Prime minister in 2015 to develop 100 cities across the country as smart cities.

In my opinion, it is one of the correct step taken by our PM.

The smart city will be equipped with all the facilities that anyone needs.

It will enhance FDI which boost up Indian economy. It will help India to become a developed nation.

Yes, I really need smart cities because of today's technology was change. Many people depends on different different smart technologies.

Yes, we need smart cities but maybe later. For now, we need to develop small cities and villages rather than building smart cities. There are many villages which at this age of technology don't have 24 hours electricity and also they don't have a reliable education system. There are still places which have a shortage of drinking water. Not only this, there are lots of problems which people are suffering on daily basis. So before smart cities, we need to update our current situation and maybe after 5-6 years, we will ready for that.

I don't think we need smart cities, we actually need ethically and morally based cities where people not only enhance tech. But encourage family and society. We must not become only example of technologically, structurally or economically advance but above that we must be known as an example of humanity, prosperity and unity. I don't want a digitized place to live I need a place where people are friendly, those who are assigned to work must do there work with dedication and sincerity like in markets, post offices, police station, railway station, hospitals etc.

Hai all.

My opinion is we don't need the smart cities. But we are in need of green city and green villages. Because lot of our agricultural practices are destroying due to the transformation of our life style and food style. Smart city makes the people updated and modern but the green city and green village make tha people disease free.

Hence people should aware of creating green village and green city rather than to think for smat city.

Hi Friends, This is Sunil from Tamil Nadu. The Smart city is required if everyone in the country enjoys the basic necessity like a job, good healthy food, shelter, etc. America introduced smart city and they were successful but in India, it's completely a different scenario.

Farmers are suffering without adequate water and a lot of farmers were committed suicide.

A lot of agricultural lands are converted into residential lands in the real estate business which killed 20% of agriculture land.

Instead of forming a smart city, Government should focus on farmers and agriculture. They have to introduce schemes and provide a subsidy to the development of agriculture and ensure farmers are getting adequate water. The government need to develop village and provide free education and medical treatment to all the poor people in the village. If the government is not focusing on the farmers and agriculture lands then we need to import vegetables, rice and wheat from other countries. The government should invest in agriculture instead of forming smart city which is not necessary for India at present.

I understand that being the youth of this generation most of us want a smart cities so that people who think of settling abroad can change their mind and can take the benefits of being raised in smart cities which is a good thought but on the other hand to build a smart city we all need to bring education to the 1st place as we all know most of the Indians are still uneducated and they don't even know what smart means. And trust me most of us also feels that living a lavish life and carrying a smart phone is the step for living in the smart city but the fact is un till and unless people will not get correct education India will never have smart cities.

Hi everyone!

Converting existing cities into the smart city is a good idea, but converting villages into smart cities will be our biggest mistake because whenever a city is developed it requires more industries to develop.

And it requires sacrifices from our farmers to sell their land to the government for making new government Projects. The real beauty of India is its villages, we will lose pure Oxygen to breathe we will lose our Indian cultural values too if we will turn our villages into cities and moreover we also get food to eat from villages only.

So, if government Make some improved changes in existing cities it is a good idea, but remember one thing do not play with nature, otherwise when nature will take its revenge back it will be very dangerous and horrible.

In my opinion, we need a smart city because with the time every won't change so at these time we need to grow I know at the starting time we are facing so much problem but everyone gets adjust according to the situation so there is no major problem for a people.

Yes smart cities are the need of India. On doing so unemployed person get employment and we get all facilities of government. As hospitals, government school, railway station, and so many services from smart city. Person who had never think about such facilities will get all those facilities of government. So in my opinion, smart cities are need of India. The Government should focus on it.
