25 May 2016 Evaluate

The government has announced names of 13 more cities that will be developed under the Centre’s “Smart City Mission.” These all the 13 cities will be eligible for priority funding under the Smart City mission. Each city will receive Central assistance of Rs. 200 crore in the first year and Rs. 100. crore over the three subsequent financial years. State governments and respective urban local bodies will also match the Centre’s contribution.

Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh topped the list, followed by Warangal in Telangana and Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. The other cities in the order of their ratings include Chandigarh, Raipur, New Town Kolkata, Bhagalpur, Panaji, Port Blair, Imphal, Ranchi, Agartala and Faridabad.

Releasing the list, Union minister Venkaiah Naidu said that “Smart City mission is running ahead of schedule. As per the initial plan, 40 cities were to be selected for funding during this financial year by July-August; of this we have already selected 33. The remaining 7 cities will be chosen in the next financial year and ten cities that failed to make the cut in the present round, Pasighat (Arunachal Pradesh), Shillong (Meghalaya), Namchi (Sikkim), Diu (Daman & Diu), Oulgaret (Puducherry), Silvassa (Dadra and Nagar Haveli), Kohima (Nagaland), Aizawl (Mizoram), Kavaratti (Lakshadweep) and Dehradun (Uttarakhand), will be able to participate in the next round with other cities.

The 13 cities selected in the competition have proposed a total investment of Rs 30,229 crore. With this, the investment proposed by 33 cities through Union and state governments as well as private funding, comes to Rs 80,789 crore. 20 cities had already made the cut in January under the smart city plans. In a significant step, the urban development ministry has now announced that instead of the originally proposed 100 Smart Cities, now 109 cities will compete to be part of the mission.
