Vadodara: Ongoing projects in the city get reviewed by the Central Smart City Mission team

On Tuesday, a team from the Central Smart City Mission led by Director Rahul Kapoor visited Vadodara to assess the corporation’s numerous projects. They value examples such as the city command center, Jan Mahal, and the solar project on Akota Dandia Bazar Road, which they believe can be replicated in other cities. They also offer helpful advice on ongoing initiatives and how they can get turned into money generators.

Following Vadodara’s inclusion in the Smart City project, the national director, together with National State Director Rajkumar Beniwal and his team, inspected the Integrated Command and Control Center, Automatic Traffic Signal, Jan Mahal, Sursagar Lake beautification, and many other projects. Deputy Commissioner Sudhir Patel, Manish Bhatt, Rajesh Chauhan, and other officers joined them.

According to Rahul Kapoor, they have requested that the corporation engage more employees in the initiative and implement it in the next months. The roadway design must focus on the advantages and ease of citizen’s. 

The team went to Vadodara to look over the projects and advised that other cities learn about their expertise and adopt it. Cities that do not have a chance to demonstrate their projects are given a platform through the Smart City Project. They also convened to give the projects a final push, ensure their completion, and release cash from the center, as Gujarat’s Smart City Mission will conclude in June 2023, with only two years remaining.

Various projects are being done as part of the Smart City project to make people’s lives more tranquil by utilizing technology. Projects were asked from every city for the Amrut Mahotsav of Independence, and Vadodara took part and did well.
