Smart Cities Mission (SCM)
Context
The Smart Cities Mission (SCM), which was launched to enhance the quality of life in urban spaces, has completed more than 90% of the total projects.
About Smart Cities Mission (SCM)
- Launched in: 2015
- The Smart City Mission is designed to enhance urban infrastructure, ensure a sustainable environment, and improve the quality of life for city residents.
- The mission encompasses the development of over 8,000 multi-sectoral projects with a total investment of approximately Rs 1.6 lakh crore, set to be completed by March 31, 2025.
- Current Progress: As of now, 7,188 projects, or 90% of the total, have been completed with a cumulative expenditure of Rs 1.4 lakh crore. The remaining 830 projects, valued at Rs 19,926 crore, are in the final stages of development.
- Implementation: The mission is carried out primarily through two approaches:
- First, under the mission, cities are being developed using an Area-Based Development (ABD) approach, where each of the 100 cities has selected a defined area for targeted interventions. These ABD areas, chosen through citizen participation, are being developed as replicable models for other parts of the city.
- Second, every city has included Pan-City Projects, which are technology-driven solutions.
- Some of the major projects under the SCM include Integrated Command and Control Centres (ICCC), which utilise data for making informed decisions, CCTV surveillance cameras which have aided in crime monitoring, emergency call boxes, public address systems and traffic enforcement systems for red light violations and automatic number plate recognition have been installed, enhancing public safety.
