The city of Ahmedabad had been selected in the list of 100 cities under the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India’s Smart City Mission launched in June, 2015. The city is now required to prepare a Smart City Proposal to participate in the next stage of the smart city challenge. In the next stage, top cities will be shortlisted to receive funding under the smart city program based on their smart city proposal.

Citizen contribution is core to the formulation of smart city proposal. Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) seeks active citizen consultation in the formulation of a smart city vision, mission and plan for Ahmedabad. Citizens are encouraged to participate in the process of making a smarter Ahmedabad by sharing their views and aspirations from a Smart City. These would include opinions and comments on the current status of the city as well as suggestions on potential service improvements and citizen expectations.

To this effect, AMC plans to undertake multiple rounds of citizen engagement during the preparation of its smart city proposal. Based on citizen inputs and feedback, AMC would devise the area-based and pan-city initiatives to be incorporated in the proposal.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation invites the citizens of Ahmedabad to share their valuable feedback and comments in helping to make Ahmedabad a Smart city.

Kindly, post your views and ideas till 30th November, 2015.
