How smart are our cities after six years?

The Smart Cities Mission has been a fabulous idea which needs dynamism in approach with a little change in policy. After six years of having launched the Smart Cities Mission (SCM), the government brought together its report card of completed projects, tendered projects and work orders issued. A total of 2,665 projects worth 45,080 crore (22 per cent by value) have been fully completed and are operational, as on June 23, 2021.
