The Union government commissioned the City Investments to Innovate, Integrate and Sustain (CITIIS) programme in July 2018 with the technical and financial help of Rs 100 million from the French Development Agency (Agence Francaise de Developpement, AFD), European Union and National institute of urban affairs. The programme strives at starting urban infrastructure projects that are "integrated, innovation-driven and sustainable".

Puducherry is among the 12 smart cities which have been picked through a challenging process for funding and technical aid under the CITIIS programme. Under this programme, Puducherry is executing a project named 'Our neighbourhood is your neighbourhood too' for Rs 99.71 crore, said Kishore.
