Smart City Patna

The Journey Has Begun...

(from "Elsewhere Patna" to "Nowherelse Patna")

Positioned on the great Gangetic artery, Patna not only has fertile land but also enjoys the competitive advantage of being the gateway to east and north east India. Add to the USP, this city enjoys 2500 years of rich heritage. But that is it. The capital city of Bihar, Patna offers glimpse of "Real India" and is still struggling hard to carve niche in the "New India".

From pollution to Traffic congestion and garbage hills on roadside to people relieving themselves in public, paradoxes of development can be easily spotted in Patna. Add to this, the lack of opportunities which is forcing people to drain to better places on earth.

Patna Smart City Limited firmly believes that this city deserves a decent, clean and sustainable environment. To restore its glory, we are aiming to improve the quality of life here to such standards that people willingly switch from 'elsewhere Patna' to 'nowhere else Patna.' The journey has begun and we need you all to be our travel buddy. Will you!.

Smart City Mission: Building Lighthouse

Smart City Mission is the Government of India initiative to equip 100 cities of the country with core infrastructure and upgrade the quality of life by harnessing information and communication technologies in service delivery and resource consumption. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Launched "100 Smart Cities Mission" on 25 June 2015.

It envisions developing an area within 100 cities of the country as 'lighthouse area' or 'model area' which is citizen friendly, has decent and sustainable environment and providing opportunities for economic growth. The idea is to motivate nearby cities, town and even other parts of the selected city to replicate the model area.

Smart City: The One which is For Everyone

Smart city is often equated with digital city. However, a smart city is the one which is for everyone. Everybody needs a city in different ways. For one it could be place for academics, while for other it could be a place to work and for many it could be a place to be for the lifetime. Smart city should cater the requirement for all.

Fundamental Principals of a Smart City

Sustainability

Development in the city should not be at the cost of needs of the future generation.

Affordable excellence

The city should have 'smart solutions' to problems. It should always provide affordable and comfortable alternative to all without differentiating rich or poor.

Place for everyone

The city should have the potential to entertain the requirements of all age groups and strata of the society.

More From Less

Smart city is the one which provides minimalist approach and lesser dependency on the resources.
